Editorial
Taxpayers Association Facts
Don't Jibe

If Montana Taxpayers Association its compilations
of Montana ax facts electric BRAIN then is in order
to suggest that the gadget needs major overhaul.
Recently TIA published what alleged to be accurate
breakdown of expenditures by
putting education in bad light shows that At cents of each
state and local tax dollar for elementary secondary and
college For highways only IA cents of each state
local tax dollar is spent MTA State functions take IL
CENTS county 18 CENTS and city functions nine
cents, according to MTA.
These figures particularly education high
do not in the least with tax figures recently
leased by the Census statistical agency which
has long reputation of reporting its findings in impartial
unbiased manner.
Here the Census Bureau figures expenditures of
dollars by Montana state and local governments presented
that you may have the facts this matter.
Education: elementary and secondary schools $50 cents
of each state and local tax dollar higher education IL cents
Total 35 cents conrased with MTAs 1918 cents of each
dolar).
Highways: % each dollar (MTA alleges IA
cents).
Other state and local expenditures according Census

fire protection 90 CENTS natural 54
and disposal 2 cens other sanitation, or cents
general CONTROL cents interest general debt
all other expenditures IL cents of each ateoca tax dollar
One other point raised in the latest MIA report places
great emphasis Montanas and local ake having
12 cent in the last 10 years That's quite
readily admit but, compared with the national
increase of state and local taxes Montana should
count our blessings According to u s. NEWS WORLD RE-
PORT, May 18, state and local government income
ona has kyrocketed 211 per comparable
period of time.
Instead of constantly harpng how much taxes pay
for state and local services should ask ousees What
services receiving for dollars? Is
harder to pay our taxes today than TO- 20 80
ago? After we have paid taxes do have less

This is more ''do-goodism" of
course. and I am a bleeding heart"
Perhaps. but / can't seem to muster
any shame for it. My heart aches for
the family of the prison guard who
was shot. 1t aches for the mother of
the 16-year-old who went to prison
for murder, took part in riot, killed
guard and shot himself.
Tt also bleeds for the ignorance of
men who are afraid to listen to a
'plan'' because there is dollar sign
someplace along the line.
State officials were not without
knowledge that dope was getting into
the prison: that it is terrible place
to have to live; that it is difficult
for proper security measures to be
enforced because of facilities. State
officials have the opportunity to know
that many other phases, too numerous
to mention, of our penal system, in
and outside the walls are lacking.
And they did little or nothing along
the way in spite of repeated warnings.
Now. those in the best position to
know will give their utmost 'fco-
operation to hang the whole kit and
kaboddle, inside the walls.
1t is possible to assume that if
Warden Powell had the proper facili-
ties and the money necessary to carry
out a program these scars on our
prison history might not be so deep.
Certainly after as many warnings as
we have had it is as safe an assump-
ton as the one that refers to the
prisoners as "mad dogs. Let's face
it. they weren't put there because
hey were leaders in a Ladies Aid
Society.
1t is even possible to assume that
f as citizens of a great state we had
lcted constructively long time ago.
n even as late as two years ago, the
warden might still be alive.
We will have an opportunity to
make a start in November of 1860
ghen we go to the ballot box and
onsider the 6 million dollar bond

That seems a long time for Warden
lowell to sit on tinder box, but in
he meantime we will have to pray
hat he be given the good judgment
nd strength necessary to cope with

Many citizens would be willing to
ig down in their pockets and bring

The people's voice., 1959-05-29

There have been many millions o.
words written about prisons, and Mon
tana people in the past few years
have had chance to read their share
of what happens when prison erupts
For, never in the history of this state
has the prison been the cause for sc
many words; never has one Governor
administered over a prison that has
had one incipient and two violent
Lriots; perhaps never have the citizens
of any state been told so many times
what needs to be done to alleviate
conditions in their penitentiary.
wonder if the citizens of any state
have been more Indifferent about
such a shameful situation, for so
long?
For years we have been told the
Montana State Penitentiary is ga
terrible place to have to live", and
yet our progress in doing anything
to change these conditions has been
heartbreakingly slow, and has finally
eliminated in the tragic death of a
prison employee.
Even after this terrible thing has
happened, our reactions have been
directed in the most amazing chan
nels.
We have resorted to some of the
most ridiculous humanisms, ranging
from praising the Governor for "do-
ing nothing, to taking steps to hang
the participants in the riot who didn't
shoot themselves.
Are we so bereft of constructive
thinking that we must simply go back
and forth over the same path until
we have made a rut? Are we as bereft
of hope as the men behind the prison
walls?
Editorially, nothing new was said
in any of the Montana press about
the recent riot that hadn't been said
at the time of the previous one, ex-
cept that for some obscure reason
it was intimated this riot event bet
ter" because other political figures
stayed away. (They were all prob
ably scared to death).
Montana editors admit the state
is inadequately prepared to handle
the men we put behind the prison
walls, and as arm chair penologists
get deeply excited and alarmed by
the violent riots, but as soon as the
riots are quelled, and they have ad-
vised "treat 'em rough silence.
1t is easy to say-after the damage
mas been done-"If the warden had
stricter security measures
:. +. if he had done this or that.
1t is not enough to refer to the
perpetrators of the riots as "mad
logs. If they are mad" they should
lot be in the penitentiary.
Authorities tell us any prison must
,e run with the cooperation of the
inmates; that the "custodians must
lepend on some degree of uncoerced +
cooperation from the inmates; that :
