a politically significant statement

committee, and Rep. Fred E. Bar
rett of Liberty county, vice chair

revenue might be as much as ST.

On the last Sunday of the ses-

Macdonald and Senator Mahoney
on a radio network program. They
said that a few hours earlier they
had conferred with Governor
Aronson on the fiscal situation
and had recommended to him that
he ask the legislature, in a special

January 1856. During the closing
days of the recent assembly in
conclusive controversy developed
as to whether general fund reve-
nue. will be ample to meet appro-
priations for the biennium be-
ginning July l this year.
The Democratic official point of
view seemed to be that additional
revenue should have been provid-
ed. This opinion was ~concurred in
by some Republicans, notably Sen.
c. H. Mahoney of Garfield coun-
~, chairman of the finance and
claims committee. In a statement
presumed to be an official express
sion of the Republican organiza-
ton in the legislature, Sen. Glenn
II. Larson Of Sanders county, ma
jority leader in that branch of the
assembly, did not go as far as
Democratic spokesman, but by in
ference he did admit that the fis-
cal situation is the cause Of con-
Germ.
Senator Larson said that the
next legislative session will 'have
a real problem in providing the
financial needs of government
which the citizens of our state
should give serious thought to
during the next two years."
The state governments fiscal
situation will be an issue in the
1856 campaign, especially if Re-
publican Gov. J. Hugo Aronson is
a candidate for reelection. If the
state general fund remains in bal
ance, that would be to his political
advantage. But if the general

a point which Democratic spokes-
men and some Republicans do not
concede. Time will tell who is
correct. Economic conditions will
probably dictate the answer.
= =
Montana'S taxation system will
be studied during the next two
years by a committee of legislators
provided for by an act of the 1855
assembly. The committee, which
also will study state government
reorganization generally, is headed
by Sen. Earl r. Moritz Of Fergus
county. 1t is patterned after an
interim committee authorized in
1851. Two years ago the assembly
undertook to set up a continuing
committee of its own members,
but the supreme court held the
act unconstitutional.
Early in the recent session, a
senate-house committee was APP
pointed to delve into the taxation
matter, especially regarding the
functioning of the state board of
equalization and the county tax
ing authorities. This committees
report, made near the end of the
session., contained the obvious
conclusion that this is a difficult
problem requiring further and
detailed study.
Equalization of property valua-
tons, particularly within counties
and between counties, is one of
the most stubborn phases of the
problem. Involved in this is the
question of just how much author
ity the state board of equaliza-
ton has over county assessors. The
only way to determine that is by
bringing the issue before the SUI
preme court.
A headline in a newspaper hos
tile to a proposed compact among
the states in the Columbia river
drainage said: Columbia Basin
Commission Could Order Raising
of Flathead Lake." That statement
is preposterous. Anyone who has
carefully read the proposed COM
pact should know that the COM
mission would advise and recon-
mend but would have no power to
initiate projects.
A bill whereby Montana would
have ratified the compact passed
the senate but died in the house
judiciary committee. Much of the
opposition to the compact comes
