At Clyde Park Meeting :.

CLYDE PARK-The matter
Of land reappraisals, as ordered
under the classification pro-
gram initiated by the 1857 Leg
islative Assembly, came in for
considerable discussion at a
meeting here last week. Of
particular concern to farmers
from the Shields and Yellowstone
valleys present are the resulting eff
fects when two different sets of
values are applied to them, reports
Charles Banderob, Huntley area
farmer and fieldman for Montana
Farmers Union.
Discussion brought out that under
the Board of Equalization determi-
nation the assessed value of dry
tillable land in much of Park county
would be increased considerably, and
a similar situation would apply to
substantial part of Montana grass
lands except in the eastern half of
the state.
In parts of the latter vast cow
country area, the Boards decreed
dollar values would decrease the
assessed valuation of grazing lands
to as low as one-third of what they
presently are. For example, a given
section of grass land now assessed
at $3.50 would be reduced to
$1,000 under the State Boards
plan, plan which is being vigorously
by the state associations of
Commissioners and Assessors. Under
values set by the county governing
groups there would be little change
from present assessed valuations on
such lands.
Some other examples cited at the
according to Banderob,
showed that:
1. On, top grass land, LAP, the
Commissioners set a uniform value
If $56.32 per acre, while the State
Board placed assessed value at
S69.23;
2. In the bottom two grades of
grass lands-which comprise the
amount of such lands
n the state, the following values were
et: Commissioners on G5 class of
ands, $1.75 per acre, State Board,
;1.35; Grade &C, Commissioners,
loo per acre, State Board, 80 cents
ssessed value per acre.

COULD BRING DEMAND FOR
GRADUATED LAND TAX

One observation made at the meet
ing was that should the State Board
force acceptance of its proposed
preferential treatment of large OPP
orators in eastern Montana, via sharp
ly reduced grazing lands assessments,
the reaction could be growing de-
mand for a graduated land tax.
Under this proposal, instead of as
sessed values being based on a
Wholesale" rate for the large land
holders, taxes would increase pro-
portionately to the acres of land
held by land owners.
Also discussed at the meeting were
ways and means of adequately finan-
cling the various divisions of state
government, especially the public
the sources of revenue for
same, and the viciousness of a gen.
eral sales tax.

STATE DIDN'T MEET ITS
RESPONSIBILITY IN 1861

The state just didn't raise the reve.
nue. during the last session of the
Legislature to meet it's responsible
ties under its own laws. The highly
touted balancing of the General Fund
budget by the Republicans is only a
sleight-of- hand with the bookkeeping
pen. As result, an additional seven
and one-half millions of dollars had
to be picked up by local property
taxpayers this fiscal year.
The committee offered two solu-
tons to this shortage. Increase the
county levy and eliminate the district
levy with the same amount of state
equalization, or have the same 25-
mill county levy with no district
levies and increase the state equali-
cation.
What they really would like the
Legislature to do would be to raise
the state participation limitation to
rs per cent and have a 4O-mill county
levy ceiling.
The $62 million 1962-63 expendi-
lures show that district levies make
up such large portion of the total
that the equality of effort is de-
feated. The equalized state, county
and district support amount to $685. |

present foundation program calls for

OURCO-OPSTORY

The 1862 Congress in the New Revenue Act
recognized the fact that savings in Farmer CO.
operative belong to the Farmer Members. This
Act makes it mandatory that all Farmer Co-opera-
tives return to each Member not less than twenty
per cent of current earnings IN CASH. The farmer
is required to include his savings from his CO.
operative both cash and certificate refunds in his
federal tax return.
Non-farm business pass it's taxes on to its
patrons as part of its operating expense, but the
farmer is at the end of the line and cannot pass
this added expense on to else.
Profit business also enjoys other tax advantages
over co-operatives. For example stakeholder in
profit business is allowed both interest and profit
his investment and is allowed to deduct fifty
dollars annually from his income tax
But the stakeholder in a Coop business can
receive profit on his investment, only interest,
and he has exemption.
Actually Cooperatives pay every that their
competitors pay, despite the legal restrictions under
which they must operate that do not apply to profit
corporations.
Ask Your Legislator:
Do you favor requiring the coop itself to paw
taxes refunds to customers in addition to the
taxes which the customers themselves must paw
them?

is $7,325 while the rest of the west
pays teachers $4,000 or more. Mo-
only have we fallen behind the west
ern states but on a national average
of $5,716 the nation has increased
teachers pay by 500 per cent.
We just aren't meeting our obi.
cations to educate ourselves as can
be seen by the amount spent per

This lack of financing has other
effects. The teachers we do get
are not properly prepared to teach.
In fact our level of teacher prepa-
ration is among the nations lowest.
Perhaps some will try to explain
all this average business away by
saying that the figures in other states
do not apply because ten per cent
of our schools are the one-room-
one-teacher variety.
Averages and medians will give a
distorted view unless there is a lot of
horse sense used when applying the
mathematical terms to our real situa-
ton which brings up the committees

FULTON ON VISITING TOUR
Also reported at the meeting was
that State Board Chairman Dan Full
ton has been visiting individual COM
missioners in the various counties
and in private meetings, particularly
with newly-elected commissioners,
has been attempting to swing them
over to his side in the land values
controversy. Those attending the
Clyde Park meeting deplored such
tactics, in view of the fact the State
Board and the county authorities
have been having joint meetings in
trying to work out their differences.
1t was the opinion of the group
that the farmers and ranchers need
to become vocal on this matter of
assessed values. They also felt that
the association of County Commits
sioners sets of values were much more
the expression of the people from
each area of the state, and by far
more equitable than those set up by
a majority of the State Board of

j ohm Alley. Member Ed Byrne has

les income, the desired balance can
be obtained by either of two methods
1. Adjusting the exemptions and
rates in the various brackets of the
income tax.
2. Allowing a sales tax credit on
income tax returns in the nature of
a prepayment of the income tax"
For those who do not believe in
sugar coating economic arsenic
the grinding of taxes from those
least able to pay-the committee
offered two other suggestions.
can adjusted gross non-progressive
income tax with deductions, but with
out exemptions" and ga change in
the basic property levy"
The first of these latter two gems
is about as backward a view and de-
void of that new found evil"pro
gressiveness" as you can find. The
across-the- board percentage bites
deeply into lower income budgets,
and without the exemptions for their
children would reduce many persons
working for living to deadend of
hopeless poverty.
The second has some merit and |
leads us directly to the Foundation |
Program itself. AS meritorious as
some claim the property tax to be
it will never be as fair as the pro-
gressive income tax is nor will it
ever be as we'll hinged to general
economic conditions. However with |
the prevailing belief of property |
rights over personal privileges it has
been found very easy way to get
tax money. AS 'teasy" as this money
has been to get it has fallen sadly
behind in the need for educational
purposes.
The report to the Legislature was
cleaned up little on the motion of
Montana Powers Art Neill, Butte,
who is devout supporter of the rosy
picture of economic conditions as
painted by our Governor.

AVOID PUBLICISING
GLOOMY PICTURE

For example, table 13 on page 10
of the proposed report will probably
not be presented to the Legislature
because it shows that in 1860 the
per capita personal income in Mon
tana was $2,018 which ranked 9th
in the nation and in the lower median
of the IL western states. This was an
increase in income per person of
26.1 per cent over 1850 but this gain
was so poor that we rank 10th in
the nation in improving our lot.
The following matter was ex-
purgated from the report:
"How can we reverse this economic
decline? Are we faced with a con-
tinual decline in competitive position
in education this decade? Should
Montanans exert even greater tax
effort, using education and it's part
ner, research, as a means of develop
ing human resources as we'll as I'M
locking natural resources to move
the state ahead?
Montana is a primary wealth pro-
ducing state; mining and agriculture
have been our key producers of raw |
materials. Much of this has been. pro-
cessed in other states. An ever de-
creasing percentage of the value of
the finished product goes to the pro-
Queer. Changes in methods of pro-
duction have made major changes in
farm and mineral employment. Fur
Their changes are likely"
The quoted material is little ele-
mentary but contains facts which
must be faced.
WHY MONTANA TEACHERS /;
LEAVE !
In the west only Idaho and Wyo- !
ming paid teachers less than we did J
n 1949. The average Montana teach
er's salary then was $2,962, up to
a 300 last year. This is an increase
