the biennial report of the Department of
Institutions for the state of Washington.
Failure to publish reports is not, for the
most part, to be blamed upon state officers
There seems to exist in Montana tendency
to regard expenditures for reporting as un-
necessary as a sort of luxury to be frowned
upon IN the interests of economy During
the depression there was no doubt justifi-
cation for curtailment. A law enacted by
the 1888 Legislature gave to the State
Board of Examiners the power to authorize
printing and publication of reports from
state offices, and at the same time forbad
the printing and publication of reports from
score of important state departments.
This restriction was repealed by the 1887
Legislature, but the power for authorizing
printing or reports was left with the State
Board of Examiners, who were admonished
that 'said board shall authorize the print
ing and publication of such reports only
when it deems the usefulness of the reports
in the administration of the government of
the state to justify the expense. - (Session
laws, 1887, chapter 33.)
House Bill 266 enacted by the last Legis-
sounds like another move in the economy
drive. According to this law, further re-
striction has been placed on printing and
publication of state reports. "Such reports
shall be confined to factual presentation
to the governor and legislature of the ac-
tivities of the department concerned.''
Whether this law will result in stricter limit
ations on state reporting will probably de-
pend upon the Board of Examiners defini-
ton of economy and efficiency in govern
ment. 1t is to be hoped it will not result in
the deletion of material such as the excel
lent review of the general tax situation in
the state included in the last report of the
Board of Equalization.
Good government in democracy calls
for an informed citizenry. How can citizens
be intelligent about their government un-
less the state departments and agencies
inform the public of the nature and scope
of their services? This is an important as
pect of government activity. If citizens are
to obtain the maximum benefit from the
money they pay in taxes, some systematic
attempt must be made by the government
to explain to the public what it has been
doing and what services it is prepared to
give Similarly, people like to be informed
and they have a right to be informed
of their privileges as we'll as their RESPONSE
bilities.
The Legislative Council created by the
last Legislature Cf it proves constitutionaD
will be carrying on research to improve
our state government. All the people, not
the legislators alone, should know what find

MONTANA STATE Government
REPORTING

ment Such was not the case in the early
history of the state Back in the COS thick
bound volumes labeled Reports of State
Offices included an account from every
state office: the secretary of state, treas
urer. auditor, superintendent of public in
struction, land agent, inspector of mines,
boiler Inspector, veterinary surgeon, and
adjutant general. A second volume, ere
ports of State Boards and Institutions"
reported activities of the board of equali-
zation, board of prison commissioners, COM
missoners for the insane, board of pardons,
the land commissioners, the board of edl-
cation. the mineral land commissioners, the
board of stock commissioners, the historical
society, the reform school and the orphans
home. There is even II page report from
the recorder of brands and marks, complete
with illustrations. Here indeed is find for
the historian, the political scientist or the
Just plain citizen interested in the begin
nings of his states government.
But today state government reporting in
Montana is different story. Financial
reporting in particular is inadequate. For
the taxpayer looking for information on
state revenues and expenditures, there is
no overall report Reports from the state
auditor and from the state treasurer were
discontinued by the legislature in 1888 for
economy reasons. Part of the information
is available from the reports of the State
Board of Equalization and the State Board
of Lands and Investments. There is, of
course, the biennial budget prepared by the
Office of the State Controller. But this
formidable volume is hardly for the layman,
even should he be able to secure a copy,
which is most doubtful.
Reporting from state regulatory commits
sions is similar story. The Railroad and
Public Service Commission, whose activities
reach into every home and every pocket
book, has issued no report of its opinion
and decisions since 1924. Reports of note
worthy cases are found in the newspapers,
but these are an ephemeral source for such
an important record. Likewise, the lnsur-
ance Department has discontinued publica-
tion of any report since 1850. There are
exceptions; the State Board of Health, the
Highway Patrol, and the Liquor Control
Board issue regular reports.
Those interested in the progress of Mon
tana's institutions will find meager mate
rial. There is no report from the states
system of higher education, the Greater
University of Montana. The last reports
from the State Hospital at Warm Springs
and from the State Prison in Deer Lodge
covered the years 1930-32. Some of the
smaller institutions issue brief reports

Mr.. Weeks wants houses to be

Mr.. Weeks thus raised was FLA
Commissioner Norman p. Mason.
Authorities on housing are
blooming like flowers in the
spring but. unfortunately, the
nature of their remarks is often
more entertaining than factual,"
Mr.. Mason said with a CLINT In
his eye.
Then he pointed out-as most
people have known for some
time-that houses are not be-
coming smaller; they are be-
coming bigger.
He said the average size Of
FILA homes increased from 838
square feet in 1850 to 1904
square feet in 1856. and that the
typical house now has three bed
rooms.
Mr.. Mason didn't add-though
he could have done so-that the

the direction Of Mr.. Weeks.
What burns up people who
know what they are talking
about in housing is that so many
commentators don't relate hous-
ing to the economy.
