0iImen' Tax
Still
Wide Open

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
The biggest tax loophole is still there.
In quick succession, the Senate twice
voted August IL to leave the oil
mems depletion allowance as it
stands.
Under this provision, a person or
corporation may deduct 271a % of
his gross oil and gas income, up to
500 of his net income from all
sources. In many cases, this means
that people or firms who own oil
or gas wells pay no income tax at
all on these operations.
First, Senator John J. Williams
(R-Del.) proposed cutting the 271a %
depletion allowance to 1870. He said
this would bring in $400 million in
new tax revenue. This move lost,
26-63.
Then Senator William Proxmire D.
Wis., moved to cut the allowance Sc
lectively. A taxpayer with less than
81 million net income would take
the full 271a %; with $1-$5 million,
21 % and with more than SIS million,
15%.
He said this would add $31O mil
lion to federal revenues. This move
lost, 31-58.
Senator Paul Douglas (D-Ill.), who
voted for both amendments, noted
that far more senators want to close
the oilman's loophole than ever be-
fore.
Last year Williams proposed the
same amendment, and it was defeated
by a voice vote. Douglas asked for
a roll call, and he needed 10 votes
20 get it. He only got nine.

Many New Houses
Cost Too Much

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
A high U. S. official said that ga
large proportion of new housing is
priced "out of reach of the mass
market"
Basing his findings on 1856 fig
ures, Evan Clague, labor statistics
commissioner, said that in that year
4696 of American families could af-
ford homes costing up to $4,000.
But only 27a6 of new houses were
priced that low, Clague wrote in a
government housing journal.
Unless there is some correction of
this disparity, the market demand for
housing in the years Immediately
ahead will be more limited than it
would be otherwise" he said.

From now on it is going to be In

activities of the Montana Legislative
Council.

six hours and what reporters got for
the time spent you could put in your
eye.
However. l appreciated the privi-
lege of being able to sit in on the
session, and was notified when L
went in there would be no story with

1t was this way: DR.. Durham was
making his final report to the Coun-
Gil, following his study of the six
units of the state university system.
This report of DR.. Durham's had not
yet been given Governors Committee
for Education Beyond the High
School, and is not in completed (pol
ished) form until the Utah man gets
it ready for printing.
The Council could have heard the
report in closed session-something
that is more difficult to bear than
hearing an interesting report, bound
to silence. I feel that when the re-
port comes out-after responsible
committees have received it-having
to DR.. Durham it will be
easier for me to write story.

Gil are beginning to bring in their
reports and imagine the press is
going to have to accept either wait

FIG Biologist Explains
Reason for Squawfish Study

Editor, Peoples voice.
Mr. Tom Peasley's letter published
in the Readers Forum" section of this
newspaper on August Is, 1858, pointed
up several misunderstanding concern
ing the fish management program of
the Montana Fish and Game Depart
ment.
First, there is the test on squawfish,
chubs and suckers conducted at the
University of Washington. The reason
for the test was very simple and ex-
tremely practical Each year the Fish
& Game Department spends thousands
of dollars in chemically treating waters
to eliminate non-game fish that com
pete with desirable fish for food and
space. The waters are then replanted
with trout or other game fish. Where
possible, natural or artificial barriers
to fish migration are employed to pre-
vent undesirable fish from reinvading
the rehabilitated area.
The tests made at the University of
Washington were simply to determine
how long and how far squawfish, chubs
and suckers can swim upstream against
different water velocities. This is
needed in designing barriers that will
block these species The University of
Washington was chosen to make the
tests since here "a rotating circular
tank, a sort of treadmill was available
for making the tests. There was only
nominal cost for the tests and this
was borne by the Washington Water
Power Company. The Fish & Game
Department only paid costs involved
in transporting the fish to the univer-
sity
AS for the number of biologists, in
the Fish Division we have fifteen in
addition to myself. One is hatchery
biologist assigned to hold down di-
seases in fish hatcheries and improve |
infc ha fu Of
hatchery fish. The money he saves in
producing healthier, longer Lived fish |
pays his SALARY severalfold
Another is pollution control BIZ
O1ogist whose value was clearly de-
mOnstrated i'm connection with the
recent fish-kiiI the Clark Fork
River.
Two are working on special projects
such as fisherman access, the effects
of forest DDT spraying on fish, gray
ling restoration and measuring state
wide fishing success. We also have
a man assigned to fish management on
large reservoirs. The balance are fish
managers in the states six fishery
districts
1t might be pointed out that these
men are completely swamped with
work and based on area and fishing
waters to be managed, Montana's fish
biologists and fish managers are spread
thinner than those in most any other
state you could name. Then, too, the
service they render is being paid by
the fishermen they serve-Fish & Game
money does not come from the general
fund but from fish and game licenses
and taxes on fishing equipment.
AS for the comparison of numbers of j.,
federal and state biologists, the federal
government needs comparatively few

Only One of 10 Families

NEW YORK-(CNS)-Only about
1 of 10 u S. families own stock.
That's "hardly large enough to justify

He adds, ''the $40 of all stock
holders having $4,000 of stock or,
less have only 1890 of the total
stock, and hence of the total votes.
AS for the $3.50 owning under 81, 200
of stock, and with combined hold
ings of 90 of the total, they are
utterly powerless."
The consultant also notes that
"even in those corporations with

ers attend. In the case of General

Many people today have the
