Review

These last several weeks we have explored thu
several major tax from whence much of the
revenue to operate state government anC
its various subdivisions From these studies severa
things are quite evident
1. Montana property taxes, compared with
property taxes of the eight other mountain states
are at very high level-S89.00 per capita per year
$1,000 per capita-however because of lack of
equalization it is open to question whether this
is providing it's proportiOnate share OF tax
revenue. Although this lack of equalization which
finds land values way down in many instances as
compared to rural and urban improvements, ETC.,
is of primary concern to the counties, 1t also has
bearing State governmental revenues to the ex-
tent of statewide evies which imposed for the
University system and state bond issues
This lack of equalization-of property taxes be-
ing levied values far below the actual worth of
property-has resulted in counties levyng 100
more mills. This constitutes definite hardship on
those property owners whose property is assessed
at relatively high value Until property values
equalized-and it will probably take legislative &C
ton to SO do-increased property taxes must be
ruled out source of any major significance for
additional revenue for state government operation.
(Ths matter of property tax equalization will be
gone into thoroughly by THE VOICE at
later date)
e Montana people, even without general Sales
Tax, pay approximately $500 per capita for "speci-
fic item Sales Taxes, such the &c gasoline tax,
the &c pack cigarette tax the sales tax alcoholic
beverages, on insurance policies, amusements etc |
The proposed two per cent General Sales Tax would
cost each man. woman and child in Montana an
average tax increase of S3077 year in addition to
the $500 sales tax already being paid various
items listed above, plus his property taxes, income
taxes, etc.

s NEW YORK. Jan. 1.-THE
NCAA Football Rules Committee
was scheduled to discuss q pro-
posal from the coaches on the
position of linemen on shifts

into the second day Of its three
day meeting.
d The coaches at their meeting
last week called for strict en-
forcefnent Of the rule banning

the NCAA has not taken action
on outlawing the shift. In
stead, it has maintained that the
rule branding the sucker shift
"unsportsmanlike" was SUM-
Client.
The committee yesterday con-
sidered As proposed changes IN
the substitution rule, but indi-
Gated that the only one which
would receive serious considera-
ton was enc proposed by the
Ecoaci'es Va pis1ie1 the four-mir1=

Instead aplayer who has been
removed during a quarter would

has been taken out Is permitted
to re-enter only during the last
4 minutes Of each half.
