MONTANA'S INCOME TAX
Present and Future

Montanas income tax rates are exceedingly low
and bring in but small fraction of the total state
revenue. Few states have low rates
The minimum is % for the first two thousand dol
lars of taxable income; % for the next two thous-
and dollars-between and thousand; % all
incomes between $4,000 and S6,000 and A % on all
incomes over $4,000.
The exemptions of the original law allows for
$1,000 for single person without dependents and
$4,000 for married person, supporting a husband
or wife, and $500 for each dependent, other than
husband or wife, under 18, incapable of self
support
Dr. Halcrow reports that in the fiscal year 1916,
only one out of nine paid income tax. For that
year, the total income tax collections were 81 $685.
122-about A Go of all taxes collected
Obviously, to increase the revenue from this
source the law must be changed. Tables 10 and
II of DR.. Halcrow's 'Montanas Income Tax are
submitted showing the realizeabe under various
rates and exemptions on the 1915 income basis

The revenue which this schedule would bring in
on the basis of the 1915 income is given as 49,

that for 1913 this schedule would provide in the
neighborhood of $4,50O,OOO Out of this total nav

vile yesterday that the enterprise
must comply with county ordi-
nances covering public hearings for
permit applications.
When the commissioners granted
the permit three weeks ago, they
said they felt that public hearing
was not necessary because the Ia
koma Park City Council already
had granted permission for the
schol to operate. The PTA was
not represented but will be in
formed by letter.
The action followed a demand by
Mrs. Alma Opal of Takoma Park
TO know what the commissioners
intended to do" about her request
of last week that the permit be re-
voked.
Says Inspections Not Made.
Mrs. Opal said that safety, health
and fire inspections had not been
made.
The motion revoking the permit
was made by Commissioner Charles
H. Jamison, seconded by Ace Es-
worthy. Commissioner Oliver
Youngblood voted against the mo-
tion. Chairman Brooke Johns and
Commissioner Wesley Sauter were
absent when the vote was taken.
The kindergarten started during
the war and until recently was held
in the j. Enos Ray School, but was
forced to vacate those quarters by

The Takoma Park City Council
then granted permission for the
classes to be held in the Municipal
Building at Columbia avenue
This resulted in % city organiza-
tons being deprived of a place to
meet.
Mrs. Opal said the Takoma Park
Cooperative Nursery had complied
with the county ordinance and had
not been granted a permit until a
public hearing was held before the
commissioners.
A permit to operate another school
was held up by the commissioners
because of an adverse report by
Chief E. J. Sackett of the Chevy
Chase Fire Department.
The school is the Chevy Chase
Country Day School, II Grafton
street, Chevy Chase, which has been
in operation for 80 years and has
80 day students and 8 boarding STU
dents. 6 to II years old.
Chief Sackett said the school
building contains Is fire hazards, in
cluding lack of fire escapes.
The commissioners told Mr.. and
Mrs. Stanwood Cobb, operators of
the school, that they would hold up
the license pending correction of
the fire hazards. The Cobbs said
they would begin installing fire es-
capes as soon as they could. They
added that a number of the defects
already had been corrected.
To Pay S225, 200 of Debt.
The commissioners voted to pay
off $225.00 in certificates of in
debtedness. The money was bor-
rowed in 1945 for road repairs.
County Controller Alexander Han
cock recommended that the bond be
retired by using a 100000 surplus
