All Crooks With One
Exception

Our Attorney General, Arnold H. Oh
sen, claims to be an authority on oil
and gas leases, but what he don't know
about the subject would make quite
a large book. On Sept. 26th he put out
a press release in a political fishing
expedition stating that the Interior
Department may have bowed to in
dustry pressure to give non-competi-
tive federal leases because this type
of federal lease would cost oil com
panies less than state leases which
must be let by competitive bidding.
State oil leases on lands producing
more than an average of 5000 barrels
per month pay a royalty of 17R to 25%
and are let at competitive bidding
Federal oil leases in proven territory
averaging more than 1900 barrels per
month pay a higher royalty up to
33 1/3 per cent and are let at competi-
tive bidding also, which would seem
to be news to our Attorney General,
but facts don't bother him much. His
pious suspicion that everybody else is
crooked except himself caused him
to call for an investigation Of the
Montana-Glacier Park land trade. Mr..
Olsen has always been vociferous in
condemning the give away" of federal
oil lands to California, Louisiana and
other states, but seems to think it is
perfectly proper to give them away"
to Montana. Under present circum-
stances we must surmise" that con-
scientious honest government employees
simply refued to give away" govern
ment oil to Montana, and that private
oil companies had nothing whatever to
do with it, Why should they when
Montana oil leases are cheaper than
federal leases.
May L suggest that our Attorney
General call U. S. Geological Survey,
Oil & Gas Leasing, Tel. No. 66901, Great
Falls, for enlightenment on the sub
ject.-E. j. PARKINSON, Great Falls.

! Gretchen has made two very telling
points as to these deeper implication
and l find myself opposing and voting
against the amendment.
The people who proposed and back
this legislation have only the best in
tentions L am sure. They are realists
who know that special interests control
the complexion and actions of the leg
islature to the everlasting detriment
of the majority of the people. There
fore, they reason, we must curb the
power Of the legislature. Repeated
and continual Illustration in striving
for Legislation for the little people"
is the mother and father of this type
Of legislation. Under this sort of pres
sure, we never think straight.
Power is funny thing. 1t can have
some of the characteristics of arsenic
You may throw it away but it is indie
structible and shows up in some other
place. You don't just destroy power,
you merely transfer it. If you take it
from the Legislature by constitutional
amendment, you only transfer it to
some other branch of government In
the case in question, we would trans
fer it to the Highway Commission, or
for all practical purposes to the exec
utive branch of state government, for
these offices are appointive We should
lose the comfort of being able to vote
every couple of years for the men who
hold the purse strings on our tax
money.
This power to spend our taxes would
be no safer in executive hands If spe-
cial interests can, and do control such
a large body of the peoples represent

cheaper for them to control the one

Anti Diversion Amendment (Cont'd)

not opposing the highway depart
ment's need for funds, even though
do not believe the highway depart
ment is any more important to the
state of Montana than are our schools,
our institutions, our other depart
ments of state government.
When the constitution was written
there was no provision made for high
ways-the members of the 1889 con-
vention did not visualize the revolu-
tionary changes in transportation nor
the need for highways.
The constitution should be revis-
ed, no doubt, to provide for the rev.
enue needs of our highways.
But before we do, we need de-
bate and a Qualification on the place

of license taxes, sales taxes, and so
forth.
There is no clear cut distinction in
the case laws coming out of the state
supreme court, the use of license
taxes moves in a vale of shadows, be-
cause the limitations of the consti-
tuition have been eased little here,
stretched a little there.
There is no reason the people can
not change the constitution to fit the
needs of the day. But, in dealing
with our basic law, the question is
should a constitution be changed for
such specific and immediate needs,
for the exigencies of the day? That
is what we are asked to do with this
anti-diversion amendment. More than
that, in the anti-diversion amendment
we are doing more than one thing
that the constitution says as a gener-
al rule we can not do, and we are
doing those things for the benefit of
one department only.
If the constitution does not permit
a license tax, excepting upon corpor-
atoms and businesses, and if the gas

Is the Suez Canal A Crucial
Issue?

The old War-Tension is now simmer
ing down to a more rational way of
thinking The threat of World War III
is now giving way to local and sundry
politics. Still, there is a tendency in
some quarters to keep us mixed up in
international politics as much as pos
sible. The Suez canal is a case in point:
Unlike the Panama canal, operated by
u. s., the Suez operates at a smaller
cost making a neat profit a gold mine
so to speak.
That's mostly what is behind the
present predicament. If there was no
money or prestige involved, the run
ming of the canal would be of no inter-
national consequence. Egypt needs the
revenue, her most important income,
without which she would have a hard
time to make ends meet. 1t is not
problem of being able to operate the
canal: The big problem involved is who
is to collect the tolls and direct the
traffic, which for unknown reasons

amendment also will amend other
provisions of our constitution). Quite
generally the courts have agreed that
licensing power comes from the po-
lice power of the government. From
that the regulatory purpose devel-
ops. Other taxes are revenue meas
ures, pure and simple, and with such
there are protective guarantees of
equal protection, uniformity, and so
forth. Just where will this propos-
ed amendment place those various
tax and license measures? There are
questions which are not being raised
and are not, therefore, being answer
ed for the people who are being ask
ed to vote on this constitutional
amendment. Can we exercise care
full Judgment until we are informed
on these matters? If these are to
be made exceptional cases, why
should that be done for only one de-
partment of the whole state? If it
is good government for the highway
department, why is it not good gov
eminent for other departments? And
what would be the result upon our
state government if this method were
generally adopted?
We must also ask, if it is a rev.
enue tax: Is it equal taxation" with
in the definitions set forth in the con-
stitution.
If the people of Montana want to
tap such sources of income for gen
eral revenue purposes shouldn't we
first declare ourselves in the proper
manner through the constitution?

1t is entirely possible the amend
ment will come to naught, should the
constitutionality of the tax be ques-
tioned. Should this happen and the
tax be declared invalid for other
purposes the amendment would not
accomplish the purpose of tying down
gas tax monies presently coming in,
and we would not have settled the
problem of raising revenue.
We need another type of amend
ment-one that can be discussed
by the people in its proper per-
spective.
We have to decide:
Just where do we want to tap our
tax resources for these added needs
of the government.
Do we want to take away from the
state legislature the check we have
given it to act as our
agents for control of state money? f.

mediate need, and overlook the fun
