Tax Measures

SB 15-by Senate Banking Committee-the
bankers tax relief bill While all other seq
ments of Montana's economy were being
compelled to pay tax increases ranging from
20 to $50 per cent by the 1857 Legislature,
that body did find merit in reducing the tax
classification of various bank funds from 30
to seven per cent To the Sc counties, passage
of SB Is will cost an estimated $337,00 in
tax revenues annually Over half of the tax
reduction accruing from passage of SB Is
will 90 to t-of-state-controled chain banks.

Democrats and two Republicans voting for

HB 5O-by Heldlng and 0 other Democrats
the $1.0O minimum wage proposal A major
goal of, Montana organized labor for a num-
Der of years has been the setting of a mini
mum wage in Montana. At the present time,
with the costs of living at an all-time high,
there are still employers paying less than
fifty cents an hour to employees, and very
sizeable percentage of workers earning under
S1.OO an hour. The Helding bill, with few
exceptions, would have made payment of at
least $1.OO an hour mandatory Montana
employers HB SO went through the House
with less than fourth of the members oppos-
ing, 1922 In the Senate it was different
matter with Sens. Lehrknd and Nutter lead
ing the assault on the bill. In spite of the
efforts of Sens Anderson (Lincoln), Durkee,
Dahl, Ruane and Keister, HB SO was killed
33-17 with nine Democrats joining "a Re-
.publicans in opposition, and only one Repub-
lican voting for passage. The $1.00 minimum
wage was also advocated in the 1856 Demo-
cratic platform. "Aye" votes, taken on COM
mittee minority "do pass report, were for
enactment of the long-sought $1.00 minimum
wage law.
& Other sponsors of HB so were: Karlberg, Nc

Nelson Healy, Tonner, Sderius.
HB 94-by Daniels ct al*-the Caboose
lighting bill. HB "a, railroad labor's longest
sought safety measure-to compel installation
of electric lights in cabooses-after having an
easy time of it in the House, was killed in
the Senate. Sens. Minette and Jellison pulled
a successful parliamentary maneuver getting
the bill recommitted to Minette's Public Utili-
ties Committee after HB "a had been given
"do pass'' recommendation by the Senate Pub

votes-Carney, Dahl, James and Stein. By
the time the bill got to the House more of its
implications were understood, but not enough
to keep it from being passed by a 1922 vote

SB 1O5-by MCGOWAN ct ALTO levy Mon
tana income tax on Montana earnings of out
of-state residents. Purpose of SB 105 was to
collect from out-of-state people income tax
on their Montana investments business oper-
ations, farm property, etc. Estimates placed
income available from this source for the
State General Fund at upwards of one million
dollars annually. How the Senate could recon-
cie killing SB 105 while increasing the various
kinds of taxes on Montana residents is beyond
comprehension. SB 105 went down to defeat
primarily because of the opposition of power
full corporation groups including major oil and
mining companies, private utilities, etc., either
headquartered chartered outside Montana
Had SB 105 been enacted, the Queen of
Holland, who owns five per cent of the stock
of Anaconda Company, would have had to pay
2 considerable sum into Montanas state treas
ury annually, via income tax. "Aye" votes
were for collecting Montana income tax off
untaxed out-of-state people who secure
portion of their incomes from business or
farm operations or investments of other kinds
within Montana.
Other sponsors of SB 1O5: Mshoney, Hagenston,
Stein, Mcdonnell Nixon. (NOTE: Co-sponsor
Mcdonnell voted against SB 105 roll calD.
HB 444-by Felt and Morrison-two per
cent sales tax. Bill proposed a referendum to
determine whether the people favored impo-
sition of a two per cent general sales tax for
educational purposes. The measure was de-
feated 51-35 by almost straight party line
voting with 33 Republicans and two Demo-
Gratis favoring passage and so Democrats and
one Republican opposing Opponents of HB
444 believed that, until such time as the Leg
slature made constructive effort to close
the loopholes in the Corporation License tax
law and passed legislation to collect income
tax off non-residents earning income off
Montana business operations farms, invest
ments, etc. (such as proposed under SB 1867,
that asking the people to vote on a general
sales tax referendum was an imposition on
the voting public. Democrats, as party, had
placed their party on record as unequivocably
opposed to a general sales tax in the 1856
platform "Aye" votes were for the
sales tax referendum.

Highway Financing

HB 326-by McInnis ct al*-equitable high
way financing Bill proposed establishing
eight-distance method for purposes to taxing
heavy trucks in accordance with findings OF
the Montana Highway Fact-Finding Commit
tee resulting from an Is months study OF
states highway financing problem. Under
HB 326 trucks would have been taxed on the
basis of their cost responsibility for building
and maintaining highways as per their miles
travelled and the weights they hauled over
the highways. This would have been of
similar nature to the method used in estab-
fishing freight rates for trucks-distance
travelled times weight of shipment.
HB 326 made it through the House, after
prolonged opposition inspired by the trucking
lobby, 47-44, with 46 Democrats and one
Republican voting for this proven equitable
method of assessing the trucks their fair share
of highway costs. Ten Democrats joined 81
Republicans in voting against passage.
In the upper chamber HB 326 went down
1888 when the Senate refused to approve
Senate Highway Committee minority "do
pass" recommendation by Reardon, Carney,
Bovey and Holland. "Aye" votes in both
houses were for enactment of the weight-dis-
tance truck taxing principle into law.
The people's voice., 1957-06-07

Other sponsors of HB 326 were: Daniels, Beck
Michels Cumming McAndrews Emmons, Wood
McKenna, Holecek, McOmber, Cullen, Mac
Donald Nichols Gray, Reeder (Gallatin), Bar
rett and Thomas. (NOTE: Co-sponsor Cullen
voted against HB 326 on roll call)
HB 389-by Hawks ct ALTO make perma-
nent the 7-cent gasoline tax. Following SEN
ate failure to approve HB 326-the weight
distance bill-several senators, led by Ring
ling (D-Meagher), successfully moved to cut
the state gasoline tax back to six cents after
January Is, 1858 lat which time outstanding
highway debenture bonds would be paid off,
In so doing, they pointed out that IN 1853,
when the Legislature increased the gasoline
tax from six to seven cents for tWo-year
period it was with the express understanding
that if satisfactory truck taxing law wasn't
enacted by the 1857 Legislature the Legisla-
ture should not extend the one-cent increase
as a permanent tax on motorists. Rlngllng's
motion was also in line with the 1856 Demo-
cratic platform which pledged an equitable
highway financing program. Sen. Sagunsky
(R-Madison) one of the leading opponents o.
the weight-distance bill, sought to save the
added one-cent tax (and as an incidental,
to put the Senate on record) by moving that
HB 389. as amended by Ringling ct al be
segregated from Committee of the Whole
Report. The roll call is taken on Sagunsky's
motion. Those voting "Aye", for all practical
purposes, voted for making the inequitable
seven-cent gas tax a permanent tax. NAY"
votes were in accord with the understanding
given the people by the 1855 Legislature that
the tax increase should run for only limited
time unless equitable truck taxing legislation
was placed on the books by the 1857 Legisla
tive Assembly.
