Anyone knowing anything about school finance
will realize that those avoiding paying their just
share and the inequtable assessment on property
IN various counties are cheating Montanas school
children, particularly since this means that the
counties are not making the same effort to support
the foundation program
Perhaps our tax structure should be studied to
equaize taxation with tax sources. Property is no
longer equitable basis for taxation Many people
with high incomes and with wealth in stocks and
bonds do not pay property taxes to support education
in proportion to the property taxpayer Many tran
silent workers pay state income tax and the tourist
trade, which leaves an estimated annual $75 million
income in the state, pays no direct taxation.
Public relations, then, is two-way street of
munication While we, a profession feel respon-
sibty in telling the story of the schools to public
the parents of those $4,000 youngsters-those
same parents have responsibility to the profession
in telling what they expect of There is unanimous
agreement between the profession and the public
that future economy and governmental structure
depends an enlightened citzenry; and to get the
support of the public, we, as profession must

Highway Safety

| A serious menace TO our society is
the motor traffic hazard. All of us
| believe and preach the doctrine of
highway safety. But it was surprise
to the Highway Patrol Supervisor and
his staff, more especially the High
way Patrol Board, and certainly to
the Governor, to learn that the prac-
tice of issuing limited licenses to
those convicted of drunken driving
had been in vogue for several years.
When the implications of that policy
became known, immediate stop was
put to the practice. But prior to that
time. 843 limited licenses had been
issued. Could one blame patrolman,
officer. or Justice of the Peace, for
losing his temper when he would see
man convicted for being menace
to the highway, driving as result
of a limited license within lew
weeks after his conviction! | am
happy to say that now when licenses
are revoked, they are revoked, and
that there is no special privilege. Ii
we are going to have law enforce
ment, the same rules must apply 10
every individual and there must be
no bachelors to special consideration:
The Highway Patrol has improved
in efficiency in all departments but
there is the constant job of acquaint-
ing the public with the Importance OF
Highway Safety. The mileage driven
increases day by day, but the death
data per hundred million miles Of
travel in Montana has been reduced
from 9.43 deaths in 1852 to $50
deaths in 1868 and 7.59 deaths in
1854.
A substantial increase in appropria-
ton is requested and your Commit
tees will have to analyze the need as
against potential revenues. Certainly
we cannot relax in our efforts to try
and reduce the accident and death

with the President speaking of projected $50 bill
lion highway program), there is great deal of dis
cusson over the controversial recommendation for
a greater overall tax assessment A recommends
ton by j. F. Reid, Equalization Board member on
November 9Th, calling for 20% increase on prop
erty assessments, has had quite few repercussions
In late November, the Governor issued statement
to the press stating Presently, there is enough
property escaping taxation to than exceed the
20 per cent increase in taxable valuations suggested
by Mr. Reid to the county assessors. Aronson added
that Reid does advocate any increased taxation,
but he does believe that there should be special
privileges or favoritism to any corporation, group
individual' The Governor pointed out that within
the past two years the Board of Equalization has in
creased it's efficiency to astonishing degree Thou
sands of delinquent taxpayers have been contacted
and have contributed their share to state govern
ment. The same has applied to corporation license
tax, inheritance tax gasoline refund audits, and in
all departments of the state board The board does
not want to inequitable assessment ratios be-
tween property in the various counties and as be-
tween property within county,, the Governor said.

CustodiaI Institutions

The Governors Mental Health
Committee is to be commended for
it's leadership in acquainting The
general public with the needs at
the State Hospital at Warm Springs
and the State Training School at

have task forces make studies of
all of the Custodial institutions.
After adjournment of the 33rd
Legislative Assembly, the Board of
Examiners, after consultation with
representative members of the Senate
and House, entered into negotiations
for the purchase of ranch for the
Prison. This was in conformity with
enabling legislation and an appropria-
ton wisely passed by the 33rd Legls-
lature. The Prison, charged with the
responsibility of rehabilitating So
ciety's outcasts, now has solid foun-
dation on which to build a modern
prison facility. It is my sincere hope
that each and every Legislator will
take the time to drive to Deer Lodge
and inspect the Prison facilities, as
well as study the plans for future
rehabilitation of the inmates.
In connection with the rehabilita-
ton program it is mandatory for this

"MONTANA EDUCATION'
Late this fall, the Governors Interim Committee
on Highway Financing issued 100 900 copies of a
pamphlet entitled sThe Long Road to Adequate High
way Finance" Eighty thousand of these being
sent directly to Montana homes The pamphlet calls
for revenue measures up to nearly S4 million per
year to match Federal funds allocated Tor high
ways.
Highways are vital to our safety and welfare but
so is education Perhaps educators could take chap
ter from the Interim Committees recommendations
and methods. Montanas approximately $4,000
youngsters should all take home information about
their schools educational needs particularly in view
of the fact that the schools will need appropra
ton of approximately S8,000000 for each of the
two years in the next biennum to match the efforts
of the local and county school district in order to have
