BirkeIund Did
NOT Advocate
Sales Tax

Contrary to a news story given
wide circulation over the state in the
daily press, Ingolf Birkeland, presi-
dent of Montana School Boards AS
sociation, did not advocate imposi-
ton of state general sales tax as
means of securing additional reve-
nue. for Financing our schools.
The wire service story stated that
Birkeland told delegates to the con-
vention of the association Montana
taxpayers would get more money to
keep their schools free through a
state sales tax" Headlines in the
daily press .heralded "School Board
eader Urges Sales Tax
THE VOICE has in its possession
printed copy of Mr.. Birkeland's
speech printed, we might add, ahead
of time and paid for by Mr.. BirEeland
for the primary purpose of avoiding
any possible misunderstanding of
what he had to say.
Here is what Mr.. Birkeland said III
regard to the need for more money
and in support of his belief that such
funds should come from state and
local sources rather than federal:
eff you wish to keep your schools
free and have something to say about
how and what they should teach, you
had better find more money on the
state level. 1t is my opinion that you
will find it by a sales tax and sooner
than you think. No, / don't want it
but your lawmakers are unwilling to
find it from other sources"
That is a far cry from advocacy
of a sales tax.

Father Mackin, known for his knowl-
edge of labor law, sald the new con-
stitution of the merged unions could
be compared with the constitution of
the United States, a broad declaration
of principles which would be added
to and adapted to the needs of those
it serves. The discussion following
the speech raised questions as to
the fate of independent unions, as
well as the autonomy of unions EN-
braced in the me>ged organization.
Montana's s Attorney General Arnold
Olsen started the Saturday sessions
by talking about Management of Our
School Lands.
Olsen said the easiest thing to give
away is public property as each citi-
zen has such a small interest we
think it doesn't amount to much.
Though state land in Montana
amounts to only so of the total it is
important to every citizen because
it is ours and our children's and 1T
can guarantee system of free pub
lie education to everyone, he said.
He said agricultural leases are bid
on competitive basis with a crop
share of 259o, and that all leases on
state land are bid on a competitive
basis unless it is oil. The crop share
or royalty on an agricultural lease
is never less than 259o, and yet the
oil companies changed the law for
themselves so they pay no more than
1215@o.
The people's voice., 1955-11-18
OIL COMPANIES DON'T
FIGHT THE N. p.

He pointed out that the Northern
Pacific has more land in Montana
than the state and has no leases
bringing less than 171a 20 royalty,
but the oil companies are not fight
ing the NP-they are only fighting
the people of the state of Montana
and those who would protect their
rights.
The leases the Gil companies would
sign with the State of Montana are
the cheapest in the world, the At
torney General said, while at the
same time they discourage produc-
tion in the United States because of
the foreign import market, not suits
by your Attorney General, Olsen said.

sioner of Indian Affairs issued a

tors instructing them to ignore" a
regulation which In the past had

quent alienation from Indian own

Eisenhower of the Presidents own
publicly expressed misgivings two
years ago when he signed Public Law

civil and criminal jurisdiction on In

Indians involved. ''I urge you to re-

tary to report to the Congress that

Among the Indian grievances cited
by the head of the Association on
American Indian Affairs are the fol-
lowing:
1. Despite the notorious destitu-
ton of some Indian groups, "at this

Affairs has available a cash ball
ance of about $6,0O0,000 in the
loan fund which the Congress pro-
vided for the express purpose of
rehabilitating Indians who are too
poor or are otherwise not eligible
for commercial loans
2. The reluctant consent of the
Klamath and Menominee tribes of
