Attorney Generals Opinion
Counties Right
Contract With
Co-ops Upheld

According to the Decembe-
MONTANA FARMERS U,N
ION NEWS, Attorney Genera
Forrest H. Anderson has ruleC
that there is nothing in the
Montana Constitution to pre-
vent county purchases from CO.
operatives.
The NEWS story said:
This settles rumble that has
been heard from various parts
of the state where competing
oil companies apparently have
objected to county contracts
with coop suppliers.
Mr.. Anderson's opinion was written
for Richland County Attorney V. G.
Koch, who had inquired whether Rich
land County, by making purchases
from the Farmers Union Oil Com
pany of Sidney, has become a cor
poration shareholder within the mean
ing of Section ], Article XIII, of the
Constitution.
The section cited states that "Neith-
er the state nor any county, city,
town, municipality nor other sub
division of the state shall ever :.
become a subscriber to or share
holder in any company or corpora
ton :"
The county attorney noted that
Richland County has acquired pa
tronage dividends of about $4,000
through it's purchases from the Sid
ney coop. "The county," he said,
''has expressed desire to continue
accepting bids from this oil company
and is also desirous Of receiving the
$4,000 either in cash for por-
ton thereof or as an offset to future
bids.
"Since purchases with this COM
pany automatically create and estab-
lish the purchaser as a member and
entitle it to patronage dividends as
declared by the company, it was

the corporation license tax law, and
on higher progressive net income tax
rates, plus more effective collection
of income tax due from out of staters
who derive part of their income from
Montana investments.
This latter group contends-and
has Board of Equalization figures to
back up its contention-that the pres
ent net income corporation license
tax law is almost completely ineffec-
tual as a vehicle for collection of
taxes due the State from out-of-state
chartered corporations.
This group also insists there should
be no tampering with the basic ability
to-pay principle of the States indi-
vidual income tax law; that, instead,
the tax rates on individual net in
come should be raised in order to
help meet increasing costs of State
government.
Also, they are most insistent that
out-of-state owners of Montana in
vestments pay the income taxes they
owe on whatever net income such in
vestments produce. They reason that
without services and facilities pro
vided by State government and its
subdivisions, Montana would not be
attractive for out-of-state investment
capital; that such investors should
help to maintain the functions of gov
