financial obligations required for
their county hospitals.
Mr.. Fouse, like many other state
department heads, is faced now with
starting to prepare his budget for the
period July 1859 through July 1861,
and he pointed out their dilemna of
not knowing how much grants-in-aid
funds to ask for. He noted that it
was impossible to anticipate in ad-
vance the needs, and cited for ex-
ample, two years ago the department
had no idea the economic condition
in the state would be so critical in
1858 when the budget was prepared
in 1856.
The Legislative Council suggested
Fouse appear before the County Com
missioners Association, meeting in
Helena in June and get the attitudes
of the Commissioners and then re-
turn to the Council with report.
Other matters discussed at the
Council meeting the 18th and 18th:
(1) A pre-legislative conference
such as is held in West Virginia,
where, the middle of November Iegis-
lators and congressional delegates
meet with elected state officials and
leaders from all walks of life and dis
cuss in a non-political atmosphere
their common problems. In West Vir-
ginia this conference was set up by
the University and financed with
money from the Ford Foundation.
Council action: Postponed, on the
grounds Montana is not ready for
this type of thing, however it might
be food for thought at the next ses-
sion of the Legislature.
(2) Annual Legislative sessions.
Discussed but no action. Senator Ber-
5ha Streeter believes there is daily
more opinion over the state in favor
IF an annual session. She said if we
lad had annual sessions some of our
present financial troubles might have
oeen avoided. Senator James thinks
legislative councils might alleviate
he need for an annual session.
(3) Legislative service: How to re-
ieve some of the bottlenecks during
legislative sessions as we'll as garner
or the state rather than individuals
ONE of the extra cash for extra serv-
ces dispensed presently by personnel
ired to serve legislators. One sug-
estion was to hire a public relations
Jerk. This matter will be taken in
he form of a study by the Bill Draft

litte of the Council.

Expense Cut
Again Asked
Of Agencies

Last month j. F. Reid, chairman
of the State Board of Equalization,
appeared before two legislative in
term groups meeting in Helena and
asked them to "demand' all depart
ments cut 1919 from their expenses
paid for from the general fund.
After much discussion the Montana
Legislative Council decided they
would sign such a cooperative effort
if it were worded differently. They
wanted to request" not "demand".
The document was drawn and read
request" and the chairman of the
Legislative Council signed it. How
ever, the Taxation and Education
Commission waited until the March
meeting to consider the matter again,
and when they did they asked furth-
er change to include wherever con-
sistent with efficiency and contracted
obligations.
Members of the Legislative Council
then decided the T. & E. amendment
was excess verbage because no de-
partment would admit to "inefficien-
cy''.
The document was hauled upstairs
and downstairs, back and forth, until
finally it was agreed, somewhat re-
luctantly by the Legislative Council
to approve it with the words "effi-
cient" and contracts" in it.
Rather than belabor it further, Rep.
Norby said the next Legislature will
be able to "analyze cooperation of |
he departments where reductions
night have been possible" anyhow.
The 1919 request would go next
% the Board of Examiners who have
% okeh all expenditures and who
will probably sign it before this is in
,rint.
1t is questionable, after all the con-
liberation given the wording of the
document, now much good it will do.

Legislative Council Informed .
Public Welfare Seeks Higher
Mill Levy For Hospital Districts

w. J. Fouse, head of the State
Welfare Department, appeared before
the Montana Legislative Council
Tuesday and asked their considera-
ton of legislation to raise the mill
levy for hospital districts, beyond the
present 10 mill limitation.
Fouse explained that the state well
fare department finds it necessary to
pay out of its grants-in-aid funds,
which come from the states general
fund, large sums of money to Silver
Bow and Cascade counties in particu-
lar, to maintain their county hospitals.
He said since 1914 Silver Bow county
has always had to have grants-in-aid.
The welfare department head said
the question is: Should the state pay
the counties for these hospitals from
the general fund? Or should there
be a law so they could operate their
own hospitals?
He said the Legislature might re-
wise the law so the county commits
sioners could increase the levy when
ever it became necessary to meet the
