ON CURRENT TAX PROBLEMS

Secretary Of State, today made the following comments
about criticisms of our state economy and current tax pro-
blems.
"The public has been deluged lately with complaints
about the tax structure in Montana, and with graphic and
often dramatic protests about tax inequity and over-taxation
of business in this state. One gathers from all this that a gen.

First, farmers again showed
that they want to keep the pro-
duction controls and price pro-

not want to go back to the uncer-

that protects both them and con-

curbs the extravagances of the De-

Spurred by the heavy Yes
vote, farm-state Congressman, led

reported to have started the ball
rolling for better farm legislation.

in the spring wheat states of the
