uation the state faces as a result of ac-
tions of the recent Assembly. Only the
most optimistic feel that the legislators
left Helena with the budget balanced
for the biennium which viii end June
80, 1857.
Appropriations Of more than 9,OOO,-
600 were made from the general fund
to run the elective offices; the various
boards, bureaus and commissions; the
University system of six units, and to
pay the states share of the common
school equalization fund.
Income Only $4s,OOO,OOO
Against this figure was an estimate
by the State Controller, at the start of
the session, that all income from taxes,
license fees, and the surplus left over
from the current biennium would be
only slightly more than $43 100000.
Virtually all bills calling for new
taxes or increases in existing taxes
were killed early in the session, indi-
eating that the solons hope to achieve
a balanced budget by an increase from
current taxes as a result of better bust
ness or that there will be material
increase in revenues as result of en-
actment Of a Withholding principle IN
the collection of personal income taxes.
The withholding tax law follows the
pay-as-you-go federal plan adopted fair
" early in World War III. After July l,
1855, employers will withhold per cent
of the wages paid in excess of certain
exemptions which are written into the
law. Employers will report their col
Iections to the State Board Of Equali-
cation quarterly.
Farmers, StOcExmen Exempt
Farmers and stockmen, however, are
generally exempt from provisions OF
this measure. Definitely exempted
from the withholding tax is agricultur-
al labor which is defined as workers
in connection with cultivation or har-
vesting any agricultural or horticultural
product and the raising, shearing, feed
ing. caring for, training and manage
ment Of livestock.
A companion bill requires that self
employed persons must file estimates OF
anticipated income and to make pay
ments twice yearly TO the Equalization
Board. Again farmers, ranchers ana
stocknen are exempt.
This does not mean that agriculture
is not expected to pay its fair share OF
the income tax. The House Appropria-
lions and Senate Finance Committees
of the Assembly wrote increased apprO-
priations into the bill for support OF the
Equalization Board in the next biennl-
nm which will enable it to increase ITS
field forces. And another law was APP
proved calling for increased penalties
and interest when the state officials DIS
cover income earners who have failed
fo report or have delayed making set

Three Major CategOries
Throughout the session three major
categories of legislation were upper

farmers and stockmen of Montana that
created the most debate in the 1855 ses-
sion of the State Assembly were killed
before they ever got chance to reach
the desk of Gov. j. Hugo Aronson for
consideration.
One proposed $4,000 appropriation
to set up a revolving fund to make the
Montana grain testing laboratories self
sustaining hereafter. The other would
have required publication in local news
papers and notice to land owners and
others running stock within one-half
mile of proposed poison bait points in
connection with predator control.
1t is generally agreed that the grain
testing laboratories perform a valuable
service to Montana farmers. No one
denied, in the course of debate in the
House of Representatives, that farmers
using this service have paid in approx
mateIy $4,000 more than the cost to
the state with the result that this
amount has gone into the states gen.
eraI fund for ordinary expenses of gov
eminent far removed from grain testing
work.
Dangerous Precedent
The Assembly voted down, however,
by a margin of 1922 a bill to establish
fund which thereafter would be who'll
Iy supported by fees on the ground that
it would establish a dangerous prece-
dent.
Prior to 1871 it was common prac-
tice for many departments to have re-
voIying funds into which fees were paid
bv users of special services. These fees
were used TO pay the salaries and ex-
penses of operation and were adjusted
from time to time to insure an adequate
but not excessive balance in the funds.
The 1941 Assembly, however, adopt
ed bill which threw all these fees into
the general fund and provided that
thereafter each session should have the
onportunity to review the needs of each
Individual department and to make APP
nrouriations sufficient to keep them IN
oneration for the next biennium.
There are a few exceptions to this
general rule today but the efforts OF
grain growers to create another for tne
testing laboratories brought strong re-
a;stonco r. was argued that such
measure would be but an entering
wedge 60 wipe out the advantages
Gained by the 1941 law for the general
fund which now appears to be in grave
danger Of ending up the next two fls-
cal wears with report written in req
ink.
Notice Go Landowners
THE hill which would have required
notice to land owners and general
nubIic notice in newspapers whenever
now noison bait stations were to be es-
tablished received short shrift when it
first appeared but it was revived In an
effort to insert amendments when
would make it more workable. rms
effort failed and it again was killed.
The principal argument was that most
Of the predator control work was unoel
federal direction and that existing red
eraI regulations were adequate TO care
for conditions found In this staee.
