General Fund SURPRISES:

According to reports, there is now a surplus of
about S8,000,000 in the general fund. 1t is sug-
gested that finding the legislatures efforts to get
into motion tax laws the revampng of old

schools 3d. 900 of this extra fund might be given
Ito the schools The state has other sources from
which to replenish the treasury.
The Two and One-Half Mill General Property Tax :
Section g. article XII of the constitution provides
for levy of two and one-half mills real and per-
sona property for state purposes. When the tax
able rate shall be reduced to two mills.
This power conferred the legislature has not
been used since 1871 when it produced $3.50, 1899
with the taxable valuation of Montana well over
$500, 600, this tax be reasonably expected
to produce ST 100000.
The General Fund
No be shown why the legislature can
not appropriate So, 900 annually from the gen.
eral fund. Schools comprise state function.
Permanent Fund
For the year 1896 the total income from the
public school permanent fund 1851 $50, less

The Corporation License Tax:

The Corporation License ak:
Tax experts and economists planning sound fiscal
policy place major emphasis on taxes based on in
come 1t is the fairest form of taxation. 1t is
based ability to pay.
Since the personal income tax cannot be ex-
lpected to suddenly become productive as to pro-
duce one-haf the total required revenue, the
next source to receive attention should be the
poration income tax. Ours is called the Corpora
ton License Tax. The rate is 3 70 of net income.
The minimum is SIS. Seventy-five per cent goes to
1.-THE general fund; 25 % to the common school equal
Izaton fund. The average five year annual income
for the years 1942-1946 was about S1218,00O.
There is no valid reason why this source could
not be increased as is proposed with the personal
income tax.
Severance Taxes
Montana has tax on coal-5c per ton on
production over $4,000 tons. For 1946-1947 this
tax produced $156541 The metals mines tax
which produced $258 $50 during that year is also
classed as a severance tax.
But other production in Montana could serve to
increase revenue for schools. j. w. Ely, pro-
essor of economics University of Montana gives the
following production in 1943.

Montana's Tax and School Problem

The purpose of this chapter is to offer some gen
era suggestions possibilities 1t is prepared for
the purpose of having something to bite into 1t is
not intended final solution, but rather as study
outline
For the fiscal year ending June 1947, the total
cost of education-grade and high schools, was
slightly over 18,688,000
Of this sum the county and districts
contributed little more than $13, 100000
the state provided 3,146O00
other sources Estate and federaD 2,54O00O
Tomorrows Education-page y, Montana Education
Association.
Under the proposed PLAN providing for foun-
dation program for ALL it is estimated that the total
cost by 1949 1850 will be in the neighborhood of
S24, 100000 Assuming that districts will continue
to make special levies for additional services to the
amount of from one to two million, the amount to be
divided between state and local government might
be around p millions.
That leaves the total to be raised by the state at
approximately eleven eleven and one half millions
How To Raise Eleven Millions
To begin with we already have two million.
For the fiscal year ending 1916 per the figures of
the state board of equalization the state interest and
income fund brought $1,284,106. The federal gov
contributed another S235,000. Other
sources, rentals, royalties, ETC.. brought some
$685. 900, in all about S2125,00 At the present
it may be safe to assume these sources bring in we'll
over two million dollars. This leaves with the
task of raising some additional nine million on the
