GRAND TOTAL Sill, 1915, 900
Taxes Paid BY Corporations,
General Fund ONLY
SUB TOTAL

TOTAL ..-...-...-.........$ 1,875,000
In addition to the increases itemized
for the general fund, another $1,3OO,0OO
in increased personal income taxes
and $450000 in increased corporation
licenses will, as provided by state law,
go into the School Fund.
Thus the grand total increase for
individuals amounts to $11,875,0 900 plus
$1,300,O0O plus $225O0O (one-half of
corporation license tax earmarked for
education), or $13,400,O00.
For corporations the grand total in
crease amounts to $1,875, 900 plus $685.
00C, or $2100,0OO
Estimated total increase, individual
and corporation, $15,500,O00.
STILL SHORT
While tax income for the General
Fund is slated to go up by $13,750,000
this next biennium, based on current
estimates of appropriations to be
made, it appears there will be an ap-
proximate shortage of three million
dollars in revenue to cover all appro-
priations planned.
General Fund total income estimates
for the next biennium are running at
about $58,000,000; proposed appropria-
lions, about SCI, 100000.

Loan Sharks
Probe Asked By
House Members

AS a follow-up to the killing of the
so-called regulated loan bill" Glib
225) by the House last week. Rep.
tives* are asking that a probe be made
of the lending practices of small loan
operators to determine whether eva
sion or violations of state tax laws are
being committed.
Under HB All, the 10 legislators
seek an appropriation of $4,000 for the
State Board of Equalization to investi-
gate the business of lending money
in amounts Of $1,000 or less by per-
sons, firms, associations or corpora
tons +. to determine whether eva
sion Or violation Of the laws for tax
ation of property, proceeds, occupa-
ton or business is occurring by rea-
son of the fact the business Of lend
ing money in amounts of $1,000 or
less by some lenders lis not licensed
and regulated by law
Excluded from the investigation
would be commercial banks, savings
banks, private banks, Morris Plan
companies, trust companies, savings
or building and loan associations,
credit unions, and licensed pawn
brokers'
The Board Of Equalization would
transmit to the Governor and the
Both Legislative Assembly a report
on al violations of state law by such
lenders which are not licensed and
at this time.
Other sponsors of HB All are Cerov- |
ski Cumming, Thomas, Macdonald, |
Gray, Hess, Nichols, Daniels, Ander-
son (Cascade).

Why The Difference

Is growing food as important as
building houses or office buildings ?
Certainly both food on the table and
a roof over your head are the first two
requirements of existence. But why,
if they are equally important, should
farmers get zoe an hour for their
labor and management and the build
ing industry get $279 an hour?-from

LooPHoLEs UNPLUGGED

Although corporation license taxes
have been substantially increased, no
effective legislation to close the loop
holes in the act has been acted upon
Result is that major foreign" corpor-
ations doing business in Montana will
continue to evade payment of taxes
rightfully due the State of Montana.
Further the flat increase from three
to five per cent on the net earnings
of corporations is very discriminatory
as concerns smaller corporate enter
prise. Under federal law the larger
firms, such as Anaconda, come under
a So per cent excess profits tax. Small
er corporations for most part are sub
iect to maximum 80 per cent federal

taxes-to force the lower income
brackets to carry disproportionate-
ly large share of the tax burden to
maintain government.
The Senate's refusal to pass SD 105
to collect income taxes from non
residents on their earnings from Mon
tana investments-is yet another item
which will not endear this Legislature
to Montana people. Already many are
asking why they, as residents of Mon
tana, should be forced to pay a greatly
increased tax bill when Out-of-staters
are allowed to go scOtt-free in helping
support state government, although
earning considerable amounts off Mon
tana investments. AS noted elsewhere
in this issue, SD 105 would have made
it possible to collect upwards of a
million dollars a year in income taxes
for the state General and School Funds
from nonresident owners of property,
businesses and other investment in
Montana.

NEEDED AMENDMENTS ADDED

During floor debate of the bill, sew
eral needed amendments were written
into its body. These included: a 60
per cent of full rate for logging trucks,
recognizing the fact that much log
hauling is done on lower cost respou-
sibility roads than the public high
ule for vehicles, such as tankers, live
stock vans, ETC., which as a rule run
fully-loaded only one way; an exemp-
ton amendment for vehicles operated
primarily within incorporated limits
of cities and towns.
At earlier public hearings, it was

for the Anaconda finds that company

while the smaller corporation must

brought out that the proposed weight
distance schedule for trucks operating
in and across Montana was somewhat
lower than the taxing schedules in the
Oregon law which is recognized the
nation over as a very equitable truck
taxing method. In those hearings it
was further brought out that contrary
to widespread assertion, the price OF
consumer goods would be affected
little, if at all, should the weight-dis-
lance tax method replace the present
Gross Vehicle Weight law.
One final and extremely important
point brought out at the hearings
was that: if the legislature does not
see fit to enact lib 326 and yet con-
tinues to profess a belief in the need
for equality of highway costs be-
tween the big trucks and motorists
and smaller trucks, then the legisla-
ture should reduce the gasoline tax
81 cents a gallon.
The roll call on lib 326 was taken
on final passage AYE" votes were
for approval. Ten Democrats joined
"a Republicans in OPPOSITION to HB 326.
One Republican, Thomas of Blaine,
voted with 46 Democrats for passage.
Democrats are in bold-face type. Re-

lights of freedom and liberty

From the bare facts that we
CLEAN for the daily papers and
national periodicals one would
assume that the city of Little
Rock was a hotbed of racial
hatred. But the facts, before this
now infamous incident, belle this
trend of reasoning. Little Rock,
to be sure a Southern city, was
never famous for its racial Incl
dents, in fact, there are those
who have recently come from
there who will attest to the fact
that living there was far better
than living in any other South
ern city.
To be sure southern tradition

economic ways were not inte-
grated and neither were they

; education, which, in this writer's
opinion, is so per cent of the
solution of racial tranquility IN
the South, was desired and con-
tended for.
We have but the utmost con-
tempt for Governor Faubus for
his dastardly duplicity, outright
untruths, publicity seeking ar
rogance and subjecting innocent
children to the humiliating ex-
perience of being pushed around
by soldiers with guns and taunt-
ed by white teenagers who well
coined the un!bridled opportun-
to display their superiority CD
by foul name calling and cpl
thets. It is our opinion that he
not only caused this uncalled for
disturbance in Little Rock, but
it was his hope to inflame other
states, cities and communities in
the south.
The President, we know, was
criticized for his slowness of
decision. We know that he was
faced with a monumental de-
cision "a crisis had come. He
was forced to make a precedent
making ultimatum. And, thank
God when the crisis was reach
ed he had the courage of his
convictions and acted according
ly, and I firmly believe, relieved
situation that would have

!! mocracy back a thousand years.

~ spanning the gap between
1865 and 1857, our people have
reached many a milestone. His

surmounted these obstacles and
moved on to new horizons.
But, never in the course or

done in the state of Arkansas.
Never has the governor OF a

carried out. Surely the Statue
