As Long As We Must Work

Rep. Oscar Helding (D-Missoula)
introduced bill in the House this
week to make it unlawful to discrimi-
nate against individuals over the age
of as years. Helding says this law is
being introduced in Al states in the
nation this year and that 8 states
already have them.
This legislation is part of a ma
tional campaign of the Grand Aerie
Fraternal Order of Eagles. Helding
is past state president.
He says poll taken of all gov

ers are working to pass the legisla-

mately 1900 classrooms built last
year was the peak effort, which bare
ly dented the backlog of 100000.
This year, the states and local dis
tricts, humping up against constitu-
tional or legal debt ceilings, will be
able to build fewer classrooms than
last year.
'Not only are we short 100000
classrooms, but they become more
expensive each year-as construction
costs mount, and the youngsters move
on into secondary schools, where
room costs are higher. In addition,
we are short at least 135, 1000 qualified
teachers.
"This crisis in our classrooms is
at once our gravest problem and
greatest opportunity as we enter the
space age. Our school children must
have the support of the one level of
government which to date has been
riding on it's oars-the federal gov
ernment. Only " cent of every fed

Written into the bill is assurance

vision, or control over policy determi-
nation, personnel, curriculum, pro-
gram of instruction or the administra-
ton of any school or school system"
To become eligible for the grants,
each state would specify to the Com
missioner of Education the proportion
of that states allotment that would
go for each of the two purposes
school construction and teachers sala-
ries. At the end of each year, the state
would verify that money received
under the act had been distributed
and spent in accordance with the act.
To make sure that the states and
local school districts don't slacken
their own efforts, the bill provides
for reduction if states relative eff
fort is below the national average.
Effective date of this reduction pro-
vision would be delayed for three
years to give state legislatures two
sessions to work on their programs.

He said anticipated revenue for
the coming biennium would be $64,-
| 100000 and "tax corrections" would
bring in $6,000,000. He would raise
the 100000 dollars by disallowing
the federal income tax deductions for
corporations and individuals, disal-
lowing the depletion allowance for
oil companies, and by minor correc-
tions in other tax collection areas
such as license fees in certain areas.
The oil depletion allowance on the
state level is patterned after the fed
eral allowance, and Reid said there
is no reason this has to be followed
by the state.
He also pointed out areas of econ
omy in state government that could
be instituted.
The budget increases allowed by
Reid's program would be h mill
lion dollars per year for elementary
education, one million dollars a
year for custodial institutions, and
nothing the first year for the Uni
versity system and u million the
second year. He would cut back the
appropriations for state boards and
bureaus one-fourth million dollars
a year.
Reid said the million dollars each
year would also take care of the
anticipated deficit, of some 5h-6
million dollars.
Reid was asked if the disallowance
of the federal income tax on state re-
turns didn't constitute tax increase.
POSSIBLE
ECONOMIES IN GOVERNMENT
Possible economies in government
pointed out by the states chief tax
collector were:
1. Strengthening out the 35 VS.. 40 |
hour week confusion developing
from the law of the last session that
gave employees Saturday mornings
off.
2. He said Montana has a ratio of
l25 state employees per 10000 peo-
Die; the ratio for the / western states

a maximum as well as minimum.
Former Attorney General Arnold Oh
sen fought the issue through the
courts, contending it deprived the
schools of the Constitutionally-re
quired ''full market value. He won
before Montana's Supreme Court,
only to finally lose when the u. s.
Supreme Court remanded it to the
state for further judicial considera-
ton.
Tonner, in again introducing the
repeater measure, stated that HB 80,
if enacted, ''would let the bidders go
as high as they want-the good old
American way of doing things"
In line with Tonner's statement,
there is a considerable segment of
informed opinion which believes that
royalty percentages should be on a
sliding scale above 12h per cent
when production is brought in in
'proven" areas, while n per cent
reservation should apply to the more
chance-laden drilling operations in
wildcat" areas.
1t is also pointed out that the state
being saddled with a 121A per cent
maximum reduces the bargaining
power of private landowners to nego-
tiate higher royalties with oil com
panies interested in leasing their
acreages, particularly when such
acreages lie adjacent to or near state
owned lands.
LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Garfield county's maverick Repub-
ican senator, Charles Mahoney, has
1nce again dumped bill in the hop
per (SB 81 calling for a constitution
Il amendment to have Montana's Leg
stature meet annually. He introduced
! similar measure in the 1857 session
which died on acceptance of an ad-
yerse committee report.
Mahoney contends that, if we had
IN annual session we ''could save the
tate at least 10 per cent every year.
n the past IL months this would
ave meant 80 million dollars !"
Also, ''if the Legislature had met last
ear'' he is confident the state would
It be facing the huge $5.5 million
eneral fund deficit.
Noting how much state govern
1ent has increased its activities in
he 70 years since statehood, the Gar
ield Senate veteran stated:
1--WE have more business today in
he Highway, Fish & Game or Educa-
ion offices than we had in the entire
tate SO years ago. Then the Legis-
lture needed to appropriate less
nan a million dollars per bienniun.
