Montana farmer-stockman., 1953-04-15

EVERY ONE of the more than
200 bills enacted into law by the
33rd Montana legislature will affect,
directly or indirectly, the lives of
Montana residents hereafter.
Thousands will go on attending to
their daily tasks oblivious of most
of the new laws, but there are sew
eral, already signed by Gov. J. Hugo
Aronson and scheduled to go into
effect next July 1 at the latest,
which are of special interest to Mon
tana's rural population.
Perhaps the most important of
these is one which revises to a
material extent the old law govern
ing refunds of gasoline taxes when
the fuel is used for nonhighway
purposes. In effect, the new law per-
mitS the State Board of Equaliza-
ton, the collection agency, to start
all over insofar as refund applica-
tons are concerned. 1t provides
that refund permits must be re-
newed at five-year intervals. It calls
for 81 fee for each permit issued.
Prevent Refund Scandal
Objective of the measure, of
course, is to eliminate the POSSIBLE
ity of a repetition of the gasoline
tax refund scandal uncovered about
three years ago. Virtually all of the
fraudulent claims bore names of
persons who had been active in agri-
culture in years past but had long
since retired or gone into other lines
of business.
So long as permit was perpetual
in nature it was impossible for the
Equalization Board to rid it's files of
any of the applications without
spending many months and dollars
in making individual checks in all
parts of the State.
Many farming operators will well
come another change in the gaso-
line refund law. This permits a per-
son to file his claims and invoices
with the Equalization Board as
much as eight months after the pur-
chases are made. In the past claims
had to be made within six months.
This meant that often a farmer in
the midst of harvest operations had
to take time off to file his refund
applications for fuel used in spring
blowing and planting. AS a general
rule the new law will permit a sin
gle claim to be filed for all fuel used
during a single season. The eight
month limit takes effect July l. In
voices voided before that under the
six-month limit remain void.
Because the principal objective o.
the gasoline tax law is to provide
funds for highway construction anc
maintenance, and all major farm
organizations of Montana are on rec
ord as being opposed to "chiseling'
on refunds, the Equalization Bearc
may be expected to tighten up or
their Investigations of refund claims
The new law allows board Inspector
as much as four months in which t.
look into claims. Previously the in
vestigations had to be completed
within so days.

Higghlights Of
.Crueningg Speech
To Legislature

Some of the points included by
Governor Gruening in his final
message to the Alaska legislature
included:
A suggestion that legislators
may well give consideration" to
establishing an independent high
way patrol.
A description of school facilities
as the territory's most pressing
problem and a proposal for a
school construction authority to
handle financing.
A recommendation that terri
torial land office be created.
A proposal to extend Veterans
Act benefits to Korean veterans.
A suggestion of new political
subdivision to solve problems
such as the greater Anchorage
area" 1t would be equivalent to
a county, city, public utility dis
trict and school district rolled into
one unit for taxing and law en-
forcement.
A call for streamlining govern
ment and better auditing and
accounting setup.
Special praise for the records
of the Alaska Housing Authority,
the Development Board and the
National Guard.
A statement that he considered
the Taiya aluminium project near
Skagway will eventually become
a reality.
Criticism Of federal policies for
the preservation of diminishing
salmon runs and a call for greater
territorial control
In opposing repeal of the prop
erty tax, the governor expressed
the opinion it was an extremely
mild tax and it is proper it was
made so and that it should con-
tinue to be So"
He described it as the only
property tax levied outside cities
and school districts, and declared:
"From the standpoint of equity
and justice it would seem proper
not to exempt one portion of Al
aska and leave others subject to
the property tax, which will be
the case if the tax is repealed"
He also expressed belief it would
aid the territory's industrial de-
velopment through the clearing
up of titles.
The territorial treasury now
has about 100000 in property
tax collections which have been
held in escrow since the property
tax became entangled in the
courts.

try it. Have an experienced hand

until you have learned the tricks
of your new boat.
Those who borrow or rent boats
should get all the information they
can from the owner or liveryman
, Follow their advice maybe it
seems silly to you - but it is far
more foolish to have some one fish
you out of the water, just because
you disregarded sound advice.

Watch your footing in the boat

upset your balance.

you are doing. A hand was going
