AT SAME TIME, COSTS UP

Paradoxically, although net income
of the state monopoly was off sub
stantially, costs of maintaining the
operation rose approximately $4,000
last year as compared with the pre-
vious year.
Biggest item in the cost raise was
cost-of- living salary-wage increases
ordered by the Legislature This oper-
ational cost item went from $685.
428.27 for the year ended June 80,
1857 to $1,O43, O03.53 for the last
year.
Rent, utilities, insurance, reserves,
repairs and depreciation costs and
industrial accident insurance were
among other expense items which also
increased.
Freight and drayage, reflecting re-
duced sales, dropped by $4,000 from
$177, 1886 to 7,091.24. Legal ex-
pense, shortage and breakage, postage
and official bonds were also slightly
less the last year.

What 70 Do About u Presidency
Puzzles State Board of Education

Last Monday afternoon the Board
of Education and the Legislative
Council got together for stereophon-
ic recording session. The dual SEES
sion recording designed to vibrate
both sides of the legislatures law
making needle is apt to have some
surprising results. Some of the 1859
solons may not be trained to receive
the new listening kick and may think
of some of the traditional mufflers
of cacophonics. Impeachment and
mass designations
The Board of Education at the end
of the December fruitcake munching
festival struck upon a zipperoo of a
plan to obtain new permanent presi-
dent. Let's ask the faculty for sug-
gestions. This is after nine months of
concerted and, of course, secret
thought
One of Public instruction Super
intendent Harriet Miller's staff spent
a morning to prepare the 'fix' for

Statements of the Bureau of In
dian Affairs that recent NBC tele-
vision program, 'The American Stran-
ger'', was misleading, have been chal-
lenged by Walter w. Mcdonald, chair
man of the Flathead Business Coun-
Gil, and president of the Montana
Inter-Tribal Policy Board consisting
of delegates from the seven tribes
and the landless Indians of Montana.
Mr.. Mcdonald said: ''The NBC tele-
vision program The American Stran-
ger, on Kaleidoscope, was an objec-
tive reporting job that brought out

Bureau of Indian Affairs Challenged

of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The
Bureau points to it's achievements in
education and welfare of the Indians.
Those achievements brought out by
the program have been recognized by
the Montana Inter Tribal Policy
Board. But, claim that some Indian
children are in school and some of
our Indian people are being cared
for in hospitals, cannot erase the
pictures of crippled Indian children
and destitute Indian people. Actually,
the show avoided some of the horrible
examples that might have seemed too
extreme.
"Mr. Mccormick, the NBC nara
tor, concluded that the Bureaus land
policies were calculated to drive the
Indians from the reservations and to
terminate the federal responsibility
for the Indians, without their consent,
and before the Indians were ready for
it. That has been the contention of
the Flathead Tribal Council and the
Montana Inter-Tribal Policy Board at
all times. The NBC television show
speaks for itself, the pictures bear out
our conclusions and that of the re-
porter.
"NBC and its staff have made
fine contribution in bringing to the
people Of the United States, a forth
right and honest presentation of an
problem that is too often
overlooked"

Central Exchange Is
YeIIoWstone's Third
Largest Taxpayer

Farmers Union Central Exchange
is the third largest taxpayer in Vel
lowstone county for 1858, the LAUR-
Ell OUTLOOK reports.
Central Exchanges property tax
bill on it's large refinery at Laurel,
and warehousing facilities in Billings,
totals $181,854 for 1853. Top tax
payer in Yellowstone county is Carter
Oil who's 1858 bill comes to $360,048
on its refinery and other installations.
Second is the Northern Pacific with
a 1858 tax bill of $227,707.
Farmers Union Grain Terminal AS
ISOLATION facilities in the county
brought an additional $6,528.94 in
property taxes to the county.
Local patron-owned co-operatives
accounted for another $4,000 of
the tax revenue available for Yellow
stone county governmental purposes
this year. A breakdown of taxes paid
by the six local groups shows:
Farmers Union Oil Company, Broad
view, $1,227.51; Farmers Union Oil
Company, Worden, $1,379.04; Farm

the boards custodial institution af-
fairs.
Institutional affairs are rough es-
pecially at the Orphans Home in Twin
Bridges, where Richard Little has
1875 homeless jammed into space for
100. The bad situation is going to be
worse with the district judges COM
hitting more and more fringe cases to
this institution. The "armored car"
budget committee of the Board of
Education has included two houses
for 40 children in the next budget
but has deleted the apartment for
the staff. The staff now line up ten
to a bathroom and are understaffed
by ten or fifteen at this time. The
real requirement is four houses and
the apartment building. The apart
ment would be self-liquidating plan.
The board thinks change of name
to the Montana Children's Center
would help, but if there was a lick
of moxie in the whole crew they
would call it the Mansfield Children's
Memorial in honor of it's alumnus
who is serving Montana in the U. S.
Senate and the United Nations. With
a name like that maybe we would
be shamed enough to create condi-
tions that would not be a mar to
truly living tribute.
The board is to ask the legislature
for permission to rent houses in neigh
boring towns as an emergency meas
ure.
After the photo taking and the

cation in which Senator James tried
to suggest the board 'needs more

higher excise taxes went into effect,
July 1, 1857, accounted for 5000
479.33, or 1888 per cent, of general
fund income for the year which ended
last June 80.
Other major sources of general

Of total revenues accumulated by
the liquor board, liquor store profits
accounted for 40.74 per cent of the
net for the year ended June 80. The

July 1, 1857 to latter part of Septem-

junctive referendum by liquor deal
ers), 24.i9 per cert: liquor and beer
licenses, 17.46 per cent, and beer

constituted the four per cent excise
tax collected by the board and turned
over to the counties and cities.
In commenting on the 4O.74 per
cent earned by profits on store
sales, the report points out that
"Montana's ISL state retail outlets
show the largest portion of profit
in total liquor revenue despite the
fact the cost of operating ALL de-
partments throughout the system
is taken from the profit on sale of
liquor alone"
