DIR. SWALLEN opened one
of the many 2-foot cubicles
that burden the third floor
and took out a folder. 1t
was marked "Old World"
and on the pages within
we're pressed examples of a
daisy-like plant in bloom,
"How many such speci-
mems are in the collection?"
he was asked.
1.-TWO million, eight hum
bred thousand" was his an
swer.
Unable to conceal that he
was impressed, the Rambler
said:
This must be the biggest
collection in the world"
mo-" said DR.. swallen, "the
largest is in Leningrad."
1t seems that this leader
ship in collecting botanical
suecimenS goes back far be-
fore Sputnik.
There was a big collection
in Berlin but it was damaged
by bombs. The natural his
tory museum of Paris has
one of the largest collec-
tions. Others are at Kew
Gardens, London, and the
New York Botanical Gar
dens in the Bronx. The last
two have vast collections of
growing plants under glass
and in the open.

collection of grasses in the
world" said DR.. Swallen. eve
have $4,000 specimens"
Then to correct an obvious
error, he said:
"You must understand
that when l say we have
2.8 million specimens, l do
not mean that many varie-
ties. We may have scores of
specimens of a single variety.
1t is estimated that there
are $4,000 varieties Of plant
life on this earth. We may
have about half that num-
Der here. l don't know. 1t
would take TOO long TO
count"
While the Iron Curtain
blocks the American bot
aniSt'S travels in collecting
specimens, Russia has been
sending items to our Ma
tional Herbarium from time
to time. 1t must be some
thing like stamp collecting
If you have several Speci-
mems of one variety, you are
willing to trade for some
thing you haven't.

New Bureau
Proposed By
MIC Group

Repr. Fritz Norby, reporting to
the Montana Legislative Council for
the subcommittee on the State Budg-
ct. said recommendation would defi-
nitely be submitted to the council for
either amendments to the present
controller act or new act setting
up a financial director responsible
to the Governor, which would make
the Governor responsible for the
state budget that is presented to the
legislature each biennium.
The subcommittee members had not
reached conclusion as to what
form the recommendation would
take. Under consideration were two
possibilities. One might provide for
the budget director to be in the con-
troller's office and another could put
the budget director and his staff in
the Governors budget.
Norby said the committee would
probably decide at their next meet
ing eff there isn't too much differ
ence of opinion" on which would be
the better method.
The budget director would be ap-
pointed by the Governor under the
new legislation that will be proposed.
Also being considered by the coun-
Gil is setting up budget analyst re-
sponsible to the legislature. This budg
ct analyst would work with a sub
committee of the legislative council
and would also include the chairman
of the Finance and Claims Committee
of the Senate and the chairman of
the Appropriations Committee of the
House.
Presently, it was brought out by
council members, the Controller is
not responsible to the Governor, and
his duties are not clearly enough de-
fined to make it possible for him to
submit practical budget to the leg
islature.
Creating budget director respon-
sible to the Governor and budget
analyst responsible to the legislature
would relieve the controller of pre-
pairing the budget and leave him free
to be the chief purchasing agent and
to keep close watch on expenditures,
according to the subcommittee.

legislation from which to draw any

Senator Earl Moritz pointed out
that there are four state offices work
ing their employees only 35 hours a
week, and that all other offices are
working 40 hours. The difference is
the result of law passed at the last
session granting employees Saturday
mornings off. The law said "state
offices would remain open from 49,,
but it did not specify how many
hours employees would work. EN-

Bill To Assist Credit
Unions Introduced
By Cong. Anderson

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
Credit union leaders feel that bill
to reform all U. S. financial institu-
tions won't get through Congress this
year, so they've asked Representative
Leroy Anderson (D-Mont.) to help
get the credit union provisions en-
acted into law. Anderson introduced
his bill CHR 12819) June 9.
The financial institutions bill
Is 1451) deals with banks and saw
ings and loan associations, as well as
credit unions. The Senate passed it
last year. Now it's stalled in the
House Bankings Committee.
Anderson's bill lets federal credit
unions:
change to a state charter, and
vice versa;
appoint loan officer so as to
speed up many loans;
organize central credit union
and charter it federally;
lend up to $1,000 on members
signature, without other security;
lend money for five years; and
pay semi-annual dividends.
Anderson's bill also provides for
an advisory council to the federal
credit union bureau. The council
would represent credit unions and
their members.

Butte Miners Blast
Auto Dealers AIDING
,R-to-W Campaign

From MINE-MILL BUTTE MINER
1t has been reliably reported to
the Union that the Montana Auto
mobile Dealers Association has con-
tributed thousands of dollars to the
promoters of so-calIed "Right-to-
Work" here in Montana. We are
informed that this action by the
associations board of directors was
opposed by only two directors, an
auto dealer (Dowen) in Havre and
George Schotte, Butte Motor Com
pany, Ford dealer.
All of Butte labor and the auto
mobile buying public are entitled to
know if the Butte Dealers Associa-
tion and the individual dealers have
contributed to and are supporting
this move to wreck our unions, and
move scab labor into our commu-
nifty. We have no objection to legi-
innate car dealers voluntarily elm
mating large group of potential
customers from their places of busi-
ness if that is their desire. We only
believe we are entitled to know
which dealers, in addition to the
Butte Motor Company, want busi-
ness with unions and union men,
bers and are on our side in this
fight against so-called "right-to-
work" legislation.

All legislators have received a re-
port on the financial condition of
the state from the legislative services
subcommittee of the Montana Legisla-
tive Council, according to James R.
Felt, chairman of the subcommittee.
The report, according to Felt, showed
the state had spent about " million
dollars more than had come in.
The council voted that this report
to legislators should be continued, as
council service.
They also voted to spend not more
than $10O for research study on
the University chancellor system, in
an attempt to determine why this
system has failed in Montana. In
answer to Rep. George Howard's
question as to whether this was a
justified expenditure the council said
it could be an experiment to see if
it is worthwhile and to determine if
they should have more such historical
studies done. In this instance, with
possible suggestions for board of
regents and other administrative
groups under consideration in the
higher education field, it was felt
the essay on the chancellor system
would be basis for comparison when
this subject came before the legisla-
ture.
The study will be done under the
direction of the state historical Ii
brary.
The legislative services subcom-
mittee reported no legislators had
yet requested bill drafting services
from the council.
The legislative council also re-
ceived a letter from the attorney
general on the question of whether
there is anything in the state con-
stitution to prohibit the creation of
a board of regents over higher edu-

However, the financial problem
facing the next legislature does not
end with scraping together the diff
ference between the SOS million
budget for this biennium and the
larger budget anticipated for the
next.
Revenue collections for this bien-
MUM are falling short of what the
1857 Legislature anticipated. Liquor
excise tax collections, because of the
successful referendum carried on by
the liquor dealers to make the eight
per cent excise increase imperative
until after the November 1853 cleo
ton, are more than $2.5 million be-
low legislative anticipation. Regular
liquor monopoly profits, because of
the recession are off probably in ex-
cess of six hundred thousand dollars
for the current fiscal year.
In addition, the business setback
has seen a decline of about million
dollars in metal mines taxes; corpora
ton license taxes, individual income
taxes, and various other state govern
mental revenue sources are not pro-
ducing as much as legislators expected
when in session early in 1857.
Net result is that the state gen.
eral fund will be in the red five
million dollars or more by the end
of the biennium, and there will be
deficiency appropriations estimated
at SIS million to be met by the
1859 Legislative Assembly. This
SIS million in addition to the above
voted $40 million, means the 1859
Legislative Assembly will have to
extract at least $17.5 million addi-
tional revenue in order to meet the

REPLACEMENT TAX PLAN

WHEREAS, We recognize that
property tax in Montana is burden
some to all business; and
WHEREAS, We recognize the
need for wider tax base to replace
the excessive demands that are now
being imposed on property for the
support of state and county needs;
and
WHEREAS, We further recog-
nize the tremendous advantage of
withdrawing the State of Montana
from the direct and indirect prop
erty tax field; and
WHEREAS, 1t is possible by re-
vision of the school foundation pro-
gram to eliminate the present in
equality of distribution and remove
the State of Montana from the in
direct property tax field and to
distribute the state tax money for
schools in such manner as to mini
mize assessment inequalities be-
tween counties;

SOLVED, The Montana Stock
