OUR
LEGISLATURE
An OBSERVER

AS each new legislative session rolls
around we hear the old familiar cry
about the terrible expense of a legis
lative session, and a lot of unthinking
and undeserved abuse is heaped on
the legislators. Let us break it down
and sec how we stand and what dem
ocracy costs us per capita This week
$155,00 was appropriated and it is
anticipated that it will reach 100000
before the session is over. And that is
q lot of money.
Montana has about 100000 popula-
ton. That would amount to 40 cents
per capita for each bi-ennium or 20
cents a year per capita If you spent
that 20 cents you could buy package
Of cigarettes and a stamp. Or if you
were lucky you could buy ham sand
wich. You would be ashamed to put
that small amount in a church cOllec-
ton. You could get two jerks at a 10
cent slot machine You could get one
punch on a punch board. You would
have to wait six years before you
would have saved up enough for a
ouOW lOG YOU duu III6 MIS-. 1OuI WIG
would get one hair-do in fifty years.
Now be honesti Would you be will
ing to trade away your free (more or
less) democracy to save 20 cents?
1t would be interesting to know how
much these legislative sessions cost
some outfits we often hear mentioned
around legislative halls
[ for one would rather spent 20
cents for the privilege of expressing
my views at the polls than to save
that amount and have government
handed down from above The only
fly in the ointment is that quite often
the voters do not exercise 20 cents
worth of judgment in the selection of
their legislators. have often wonder
ed if some of these legislators have
not at some time or another been on
The bargain counter at the dime store.

PROGRESSIVE TAX
IS DISCUSSED BY
PETERSON
By J. M. PETERSON

The right of youth to an education
in harmony with inherent ability and
aspirations; the right to health; and
the right to become a skilful worker
have been generally accepted in our
country, at least in theory.
If in the past, this ideal seemed some
times vague and poorly applied, our
experience in World War II should be
enough to erase any doubt and to in
crease our determination to make
practical application.
Education, health, skill, patriotism
and vision is the concern of all; rich
and poor, industry and labor.
AS never before, VIC realize that it
is the function of the government to
promote these things And it follows
that the necessary taxes to carry on
these responsibilities must be in ac-
cordance with ability to pay That
means that persons with higher in
comes should pay more than a proper
tional amount in taxes; the goal must
be progressive tax.
What Is A Progressive Tax?
A progressive tax is one which in
creases in proportion to income; that
is, higher proportions of income are
paid out in taxes as the income in
creases. 1t is the opposite of a regres-
sive tax in which case the base, in
proportion to total income, decreases
as the income increases.
Thus a progressive tax is the one
least likely to be shifted to those less
able to- pay.
The progressive tax is the one most
likely to stay where it is put.
Examples of Progressive Taxes
Tax experts seem TO agree that the
soundest, most fair, most likely to
prove in reality progressive tax are
the following:
A The net income tax,
B. The inheritance tax,
G.. The estate tax,

Up ToSupreme
Court

The case of Miss Violet Eastman,
discharged Helena teacher member of
the American Federation of Teachers
against the Helena school board will
be argued before the Montana supreme
court Monday, January 20, it has been
announced.
The Eastman case was carried to the
supreme court by the board after
Judge Taylor, Anaconda, had render
ed verdict favorfng Miss Eastman
in the district court. The Montana
of Labor, along with local
central labor groups and other demo-
cratic minded citizens of the state,
have strongly supported Miss Eastman,
feeling that the primary reason for
her discharge was her union member

had less than normal beds per thous-
and, two other areas had more than

latter can be explained, in large meas
ure by the fact that the hospitals in
those areas are strong enough to draw
patients from neighboring areas.

Despite the betting odds, and the tremen-

underdog Save-Our-State squad is expected
to put up a terrific battle.
The SOS boys have gone into the game

by such hard charging backs as Senators
Plank, Holland, Bourassa, Mulholland, Rice,

to attempt a cleanup of PU.

PROPOSED BILL TO
give VETERANS
A BREAK

On the opening Gay OF the legisla-
tive assembly, a bill was introduced
by Reps Padbury and O'Conner (HB2)
which will undoubtedly give the aver
age CT a break Cor a belly laugh. 1t
provides that all state income taxes
paid ON money received from the u. S.
government shall be refunded to said
CT.
In looking into the matter we find
that no buck private makes enough
money to pay any state income tax,
as a single man has $1,000 exemption
and if married, $4,000 exemption plus
$500 for each dependent
At the bottom of page 4 in the 10th
annual report submitted by the I'm
employment Compensation commission
it is stated that approximately 10000
GIs have returned to civilian life. Of
this group about $4,000 are in the
buck private class, SO they will not
get a cent Ten thousand were in
higher bracket, but many of them
were just small fry brass" with de-
pendents so they will not qualify.
That probably will leave 5000 who
can qualify.
An estimate has been made that
probably SIS, 900 will cover all refunds.
The big brass" will collect the $4,000
which if equally distributed would
amount to $500 each.
1t would seem to be more equitable
to distribute the $4,000 on a per cap
tia basis.
That would give the CT a big break.
His share in that case would be Csc.
He would have to write at least two
letters at SC apiece That would leave
him the unheard of bountiful sum of
19c

into the win column in a real
thriller. Down 14-0 after three
quarters at South Bend, the
Trojans suddenly burst their
bonds and counted two quick
touchdowns, only to miss the
extra point that would have tied
the tilt.
Bakers Boot Beats Irish.
But with, time running out,
Johnny Baker, great Coast guard,
stepped back and booted a field
goal to give Southern Cal 1914
edge. 1t was the beginning OF a
three-year string of Trojan wins.
In Los Angeles in '36 the series
produced one of its greatest
thrillers, and a controversy that
ragged through the Nation. An
undermined Trojan team (those
were lean years for Jones, who
was between great teams) faced
powerful Irish squad with only
a slim chance to win. The Irish
shot off to an early 60 lead and
were driving for a second score
when Mickey Anderson pulled
down a fiat pass on his 2 and took
off for the goal with Larry Dan
bonn of the Irish in pursuit.
Anderson stepped the SO yards,
but Danbom ran into a clumsy
official and was knocked down in
the chase. Many Notre Damers
felt he might have nabbed Mickey.
Later the Irish made it 1876, but
shortly before the half ended the
Trojans pulled a line buck-lateral
play they had boarded for the
occasion to score from go yards
out. They added the point and
the game ended at 13-all
Game In AZ Extra Rugged.
Not so spectacular, and prob
ably best forgotten, was the game
of 1912, that almost ruptured the
famous series.
Tempers f1ared that day on
both sides of the field as the two
powerful teams played a little
extra-rugged football. The Irish
took q 1870 lead in the first half,
and neither team seemed to care
much about the score after that.
Three times the benches of
both teams emptied into the field
to slug it out. The second half
of the game degenerated into
slugging match as the officials
let it get out of hand and the
fans booed roundly.
Notre Dame and Southern Cal
ifornia didn't play again until
last year-the war and the travel
ban was given as the reason-but
lot of fans claim that the fisti-
cuffs on the field that day was
the reason for the postpone
ments.
The big game has been back
since last fall and probably will
enjoy a long and hearty life.

Angeles and the $4,000 who jam

ternate years are glad to have 1t.

Wake Forests Grequ!
| Named Conference
Freshman Of Year
BY the Associated Press

| A survey of season performances
in the Southern Conference wins for
Wake Forests Bill Gregus, hard
hitting tailback, the Associated Press
nomination as the loops freshman
of the year.
The selection was made on the
basis of the Associated Press series,
'the freshman of the week." Gregus
won it three times.
Runnerup to Gregus for the honor
as the best freshman of the season
is Charley Musser, 195-pound North
Carolina State guard. A sure tack
Ter and equally fine blocker, all sea-
son long he pressed Gregus for week
ly honors.
However, Bouncin' Bill proved a
vital cog in the ofense Of Wake
Forest by either scoring or setting
up touchdowns in of 10 games
against Clemson, George Washing
ton, North Carolina, Duke and
Duquesne. He tailed three himself.
Gregus carried the ball 81 times for
net gain of 100 yards or an aver
age of "a yards per try. He brought
back six punts for SO yards for an
average of 9.8 yards. In addition he
connected on 18 of IS passes and
had only three intercepted.
Perhaps a large. amount of the
credit for North Carolina States
splendid showing in its last three
games-each time the Wolfpack was
doped to lose-should 60 to Musser.
He was all over the enemy's back
field as N. c. S. beat Wake Forest,
300; Virginia, 7-2, and played a
scoreless tie with Gator-Bowl-boun
Maryland.
