tons to the commission wei
substantially those contained i
the boards most recent biennis
report. Some of these recommen
dations, it seems to me, r ideal
istic rather than practical in tn
sense that the legislature woult
adopt them.
Tax reform is possible only t.
the extent that the people will
accept it, which means to the
extent that the legislature vii
accept it. Everybody processes tc
favor equalization of taxes, but
there is a tendency for each OF
us as an individual, or in regard
to our own economic interest, to
feel that we and our economic
group should pay less and the
other fellow and his economic
group should pay lore.
Efforts toward tax reform are
nothing new in Montana. At
times these manifestations have
had the zeal and aspects of cru
sades. This has been particularly
true when big elements of the
population have been adversely
affected by economic conditions.
But insistance on tax reform has
not always bordered on hysteria,
for just as now with the COM
mission on taxation and education
there have been calm and objec-
tive studies of this problem.
One of these undertakings was
enactment in 1919 of the prop
erty classification law, under
which the state still is function
This law was recommended
by a commission provided for by
the 1917 assembly. There are
taxation students in Montana to-
Gay who appear to have a low
opinion of the property classifI-
act, as a theory or who
at least would like to see 1t
irastically modified. Prospects of
-epealing this law are dim, nor
S there anything mor than the
'emotest probability that its per-
,entage ratios will be radically
hanged.
Montana's greatest tax reform
r was Gov. Joseph M. Dixon
~1921-25), whose program involv-
d him in bitter controversy and

one of his most reward (

Helena The commission oil
taxation and education, creates
by the 1857 legislature, is a 10
member group appointed by th'
! governor. There r three legiS'
lators on the commission, all o.
them senators, including the
chairman, d. M. Manning OF
Treasure county. AS l have form
erly indicated, this body has an
assignment of magnitude and ba-
sically is undertaking to do what
has been attempted many times.
The commission is as acutely
aware as any agency of our state
government has ever been of the
inequities and maladjustments in
Montana'S revenue laws and that
the state has never had a lust
valuation of all property" as
contemplated by the constitution.
The commission is also aware
that demands for ever more gov
ernmental revenue are never ap-
peased.
1t is difficult to dissent from the
virtually universal opinion that
property Cad valorem) taxes r
too high. Reducing taxes by cut
ting governmental costs is a pop
ular alternative. We hear great
clamor for economy as a means of
bringing the taxpayer relief, but
with expenses increasing all
along the line, economy has be-
come a mere catch word with lit
tie meaning in practice.
Another alternative - one with
which our state government has
experimental with a long time
but with somewhat discouraging
results - is to lift part of the
property tax burden by levying
against personal and corporation
incomes, on natural resources and
as licenses to do business. Only
in theory do these laws replace
taxes on tangible property. for
with relatively few exceptions
these ad valorem levies continue
to be as high as the constitution
and statutes permit.
So the quest goes on for more
This is often expressed
in the idea of broadening the tax
base, which in the view of some
legislators and tax administrators
finding still something else T
which is not being directly tax
ID. If the theory is to make c
'ach class of property, be it real S
intangible, pay its rightful b
hare of governmental costs, it il
5 sound and equitable, but if it il
lerely means taxing for the sake t
f taxing, it is indefensible. a
Equalization of taxes, even rea- n
close to an absolute de- a
rec, is an admirable goal, but
ne extremely hard to attain. t;
Iowever, progress is being made is
, that direction, and if those b
-ruggling with this problem re- s.
lember that the mills of the n
DDS grind slowly, they should ii
ave cause to feel that they are i:
ground. In this field the s
tate board of equalization is y
diligently exerting itself. t
