The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1949-09-30

OOmeClfne Ddck, Cne governor lett
the state The lieutenant governor
in his absence ruled that board and
room rates could not be raised by the
universities. This was in line with
President McLain's announcement at
1913 Labor Institute eve must pass
bond issue of $5,000,000. Mon
tana is the only state where the stu
dents build the buildings"
Recently the governor and lieuten-
ant governor both were out of the
state (Which they are hired by the
people to rum. Senator Lott of
Madison took over the duties of the
governor. Is Senator Lott qualified
to run the state of Montana? The
voters did not pass upon his quail
fications, as senator he voted wrong
on SD Is, stripping the Land Com
missioner of enforcement power,
wrong on SD Sd which would have
set up statewide uniform assessment
laws; wrong on SD SO, the teacher
tenure bill which would have given
teachers security. Wrong on senate
bird dog" motion, which would have
set up a Mundt-Nixon un-American
activities group in Montana. Wrong
on HB 266 which would have pre-
vented grazing leases being taken |
from small stockmen, and provided |
more democracy in state grass con-
board Wrong on HB $50 |
which gave the attorney generals |
office $40,000.00 for enforcement of |
laws and investigation of
the state liquor monopoly.
By the way when is this money
going to be used by the attorney
generals office?
Billions and millions don't mean
much to me, but senators state our
spending on arms program in Europe
and the United States will mean a.
debt of $500 billion dollars. Up to
June 80 we were spending $18,500,-
300 every day or $750,000 every
hour or $4,000 minute or every
lime your watch ticks 5000. That's
vhen the income tax will be SO to
100 percent on all incomes over three
thousand dollars, fifty percent death
AK and 25 percent inheritance tax
md no trust funds permitted. Then
We will have peace. Interest on our
ederal debt this year will be six !
'illion dollars.
Your income tax is deducted be- {
ore you get your pay check. All
hese big ads by corporations you
ee in newspapers are chargable to q
usiness expense. Thus reducing !,
heir profits tax of 38%. In other +
lords Uncle Sam loses IL cents out :.
f each dollar. Here is another ex-
mple. Corporation sells business
or 100000 tax would be $4,000
0 $81, 900, depending whether assets /
r stock was sold. Here is how they
an beat the tax. Merge the bust
ess with another and receive stock
