Mrs. Johnson concludes: "Higher than
average expenditures for schools and high
ways-to maintain Montana's large number
of school districts, the six units of the
University, and the vast highway system,
therefore account for the larger total per
capita expenditures by it's state and local
governments. Despite these expenditures,
many of our highways and streets, our
school buildings and the salaries paid to
instructors leave something to be desired
Numerous instances of marginal or SUBJ
marginal governmental services in other
areas could be cited-the need for sewage
disposal systems, extended health services,
etc.,
Some tax revamping is probably in the
offing. The new Legislative Council was
authorized to make a complete study of
the tax system and to recommend improve
ments. Some economies could be effected
by consolidation and reorganization of
government agencies, another subject as
signed to the Legislative Council.
But the writer of this article very
wisely, it seems to me, holds out no hope
for great tax reductions. Montanans want
public services as good as those of other
states and must offer them to attract new
residents. Before we cry too much over
the tax burden, we'd better decide just
what public services we are willing to do
without.

SEVERAL REASONS FOR
HIGHER TAXES

Looking for the reasons for high taxes
in Montana, Mrs. Johnson notes several
characteristics common to these western
states which tend to result in high govern
ment cost. All have relatively large areas
and small populations Montana in 1857
had population of GIL 900, approximately
4.6 persons per square mile. "This popula-
tion in 1857 maintained 1903 governmental
units-56 county governments, 123 muni-
cipalities, 174 special districts and LAO
school districts, plus the state govern
ment."
Expenditures for government are high
in Montana, but in most instances not high
er than those in neighboring states. Mon
tana spends % per cent of general ex-
penditures for highways compared to 1913
per cent for the nation. But Montana has
a population of 9 persons per mile of
highways compared to 49 per mile in the
United States The proportion of the total
state and local expenditures for all edu-
cation was approximately the same as for
all the states. Montana allocated larger
amounts for natural resources, but less for
health and hospitals, sewage disposal and
other sanitation purposes.

If the orbiting of the sputniks by
the Soviets was accomplished solely
for propaganda purpose and the in
citing of disorganization, misdirect-
ed effort and wasting of resources
in the educational enterprises of this
country, then unquestionably some con-
siderable measure of success was attained
We agree of course that our educational
programs need efficient direction and that
they can be improved but are we not again
deluding ourselves in the belief that the
pouring of money into an enterprise will
insure it's success? 1t often appears to this
observer that in the true Hollywood tradi-
tion we feel that if we can glamorize the
spectacular aspects of our gadgets into
super-colossal production and make big
show with numerous "crash' programs in
volving as many people as possible we have
thereby "caught up with the Russians" in
Scientific" progress and indeed perhaps
have surpassed them

cies in the preparation of our teachers of

ciated misdirection of effort of the stu
dents, along with curricula that often have

We have the spectacle of high school teach
ers who have never taken single course
in physics, for example, not only applying
for the scholarships offered in "Science
Institutes supported in the colleges and
universities by the National Science Foun-
dation, but their acceptance in such an
"Institute'' in order to prepare to teach
high school physics" by taking a single
eight weeks course.
Slow indeed is the college that has
missed the gravy train by not organizing
one or more such Institutes.
One wonders at times about what prog
ress might have been made in science in

signed to remedy something that doesn't
exist, had been applied to the orderly de-

years operated with less than desirable if
not inadequate laboratory equipment. a

and equitable taxation.
Montanans in recent months have been
encouraged to indulge a lot of self-pity
over their sad tax situation, an Indulgence
not justified by the facts. In the April
1859 issue of MONTANA BUSINESS RE-
VIEW published by Bureau of Business
and Economic Research, Montana State
University there is an excellent story on
state and Local Taxes In Montana" by
Maxine Johnson, the Bureaus research
associate. In the light of all this concern
over Montana's tax plight, she asks and
answers the question, "How does the tax
burden actually compare with the other
forty-eight states, and with other states
IN this area? If Montana taxes are un-
usually high, why should this be so?" Her
findings are based on the U. S. Bureau of
Census report, estate and Local Govern
ment Finances In 1857"
Taking first comparison of per capita
tax load, she finds that Montanans are
carrying a heavy tax burden in relation
to all the forty-eight states, although COM
parisons of Montana taxes with neighbor-
ing states are not unfavorable. Montana
ranked tenth in per capita taxes with
$l8778, compared to national per capita
figure of $169.14. A comparison of Mon
tana and its neighboring states, however,
places Montana squarely in the middle.
Washington, Oregon and Wyoming had
higher per capita taxes, while Idaho and
the Dakotas were below Montana. 1t is
interesting to notice also, that the two
most populous states, New York and Cali
fornia, ranked in the upper ten, while the
ten states with the lowest per capita taxes
are all located in the South (There might
be some connection between these facts
and the quality of education in these
areas.)
A second and more significant compari-
son of Montana's tax rate is found in the
ratio of state and local taxes to personal
income. When income is high, the relatively
high per capita tax rates may not be bur-
densome. In 1857, Montanans paid in local
and state taxes $99.76 per $1,000 of per-
sonal income, while the national rate was
$83.43 per $1,000. Among it's neighboring
states, Montana ranked in the middle, with
taxes in relation to income lower than in
Oregon and the Dakotas and higher than
in Idaho, Wyoming and Washington. All
of these states were above the national
average. 1t is true, however, that since
1853 Montana's per capita income has
failed to keep pace with the national. "Be-
tween 1853 and 1857, per capita state and
local tax collections increased approxi-

City's Appearance

We would like to comment on
two items in recent issues of
the Sentinel which concerned
Rockville. Your editorial on
November % en- the "City's Ap.
pearance" is quite pertinent.
There certainly is a need for
effective architectural standards
for construction in the city. In
addition to the general area of
Court House Square pointed out
in your article, we would par.
ticularly add the Rockville Pike
area. Some of the buildings
there are quite attractive and
in good taste. Other structures
and billboards are quite unat-
tractive and remind one of the
despicable appearance of u. S.
Rt.-1 before the construction of
the Expressway.
Mayor Greene's article in the
December 3 Sentinel on COM
munity life in Rockville GER
tainly indicates that Rockville
has maintained a big degree of
community activity despite alb
normal growth. The Mayor and
Council are to be congratulated
for their contributions and en-.
couragements to community
life. However, they must be
even more vigilant, more dill.
gent, than in the past to prevent

School Bills Haven't
Really Started Yet!
Viewpoints

It's as easy as pie to watch the 'wave" of
postwar babies sweep through the school
grades. In 1852, it hit the kindergartens and
the first grades hard and because it was so
clearly identifiable you could watch it as it
roared right on up the line.
Now it's in the 7th and 9Th grades This
year, for example, there are 1048 more kids
in the 7th grade than there were last year. In
the 9Th grade, there are 1896 more this year
than last. That's the "wave" that each sue
cessive grade has been bracing itself for. AS
everyone knows the full force of the wave"
is going to be felt by the colleges in 1865.
Meanwhile, it's getting rOugher every
year on the pOcketboOxs of Montgomery COun-
ty property owners.
This years capital budget request for the
schools is $13 million more than it was last
year. And large share of the blame can be
pinned on the wave" Three new high schools
costing almost So million, for example, are re-
quested in the school superintendent new
capital budget made public this week.
For long time, county educators were
frantically putting up elementary schools to
handle the never ending pupil increases
about 5000 new ones each year. Last year.
startling 6467 pupil increase was felt, this
one fooling the usually-expert school popula-
ton expert so that he was short in his esti-
mate by lila students.
Now, the "wave" is creating an urgent
need for new high schools. And these are
more costly than elementary schools Con.
structiOn costs in recent school bids, for ex.
ample, show a low of $11.7O per square foot
for the two-story Dennis Avenue Elementary
