Livestock Sales Ring
Senate Votes Curb
On Licensing Power
Of State Board

For number of years ranchers
and business people along the ex-
treme eastern edge of Montana in
the Baker area have been attempting
to secure State Livestock Commits
sion approval for the setting up of a
livestock sales ring in Baker.
A sales ring company was organ
lied, but on three successive occa-
sions was denied the necessary COM
mission license. The matter was taken
to the State Supreme Court and that
body upheld the commissions right
to deny.
Thus the matter stood when Gene
Huntley came to the Senate from
Fallon county in January, and, early
in the session he and Sen. Bentz (R-
Carter) introduced legislation (SB
40) to overturn both the commission
and the courts.
The bill, as amended, would make
mandatory on the commission the
issuance of a sales ring license when
a need is shown, provided such a
livestock market be located in a town
of at least 1850 population and at
least 72 miles away from the nearest
yard. Baker is 70 miles away from
the Miles City yard, and in 1860 had
population of 1860

Would Hinder
Freight Service
DisconfinUunce

Railroads would find it more diff
cult to discontinue freight service,
thus leaving many Montana shippers
high and dry, should the House con-
cur with Senate approval of SB 1877.
SD 167 by Melcher, Rostad and
Manning, strengthens present law
covering abandonment of regular
freight service by making it neces-
sary for a rail carrier to secure prior
approval of the proposed service re-
duction from the Montana Railroad
& Public Service Commission.
The bill resulted from accelerated
curtailment of freight service by the
rails, particularly the Milwaukee. in
recent years.

SCHEDULES STILL TOO LOW
Democrats supporting the amend
ments said the schedules were too
low yet, but they were far superior
to the committee re-write. Several
said while they supported the amend
ments they might vote against the
whole bill because the rental fees
were still too low.
The original 100 as it came from
the Senate would have increased
grazing fee rentals over 100000
per year over present rentals.
The House Substitute for Senate
Bill 100 as it was rewritten in the
State Administration Committee,
would have increased the fees by APP
proximately $188,000 per year.
The bill as amended by Rep. Math-
ers would increase the fees to the |
schools by approximately 100000,
according to the figures he presented
on the floor of the House, Wednes-
day afternoon.
If Substitute 100, with the Mather's
passes the House it is
likely there will be Senate-House
Conference Committee appointed.
Senator Rieder (D-Jefferson), main
ponsor of SB 100, said Wednesday
lfternoon he would have to talk to
he dozen or more bipartisan spon-
ors of the original bill to determine
thether or not the Senate would ask
or a conference committee.-GGB

Genuine Tax
Relief For
The Retired

Retired Montanans who have
limited, fixed incomes would
receive meaningful tax relief
should SB 20 by Sens. McKeon
and Reardon receive House
and Gubernatorial approval.
SD 20 provides for the tax
classification on the homes of
practically all aged Montanas being
cut from 80 to per cent. The bill
passed the Senate, 38-17, Saturday,
with three Republicans joining IS
Democrats in support of the measure
The change of classification is
written into the act for property to
which the following applies:
"Any Improvement ON real prop
erty owned and actually occupied by
a widow or by a recipient of retire
ment benefits who is not gainfully
employed to such an extent as would
render him ineligible for Social Sc
curity benefits and who does not
have income, excluding such retire
ment benefits, in excess of one thou
sands dollars per year. Provided,
further that one who applies for
classification of property under this
class must make an affidavit before
the county assessor of the county in
which said property is located as to
his income, if applicable to his re-
tirement benefits, if applicable, or,
as to martial status, if applicable
and TO the fact that he or she actu-
ally resides in said improvements and
that the property is not used for in

Here is how the new 7 per
cent investment credit ties in
with the special flat 20 per
cent depreciation you, as a
business or professional man,
can claim in the first year
you acquire new or used de-
preciable tangible personal
property having a useful life
of at least six years. While
all other depreciation
straight line, declining bal
ance, etc. is based on the
cost less the new investment
credit, this is not so for 20
per cent first year deprecia-
ton. Both the new invest
ment credit and 20 per cent
depreciation are figured on
the same full cost. Do not
overlook this when you're
completing your 1862 return.
For instance, If you bought
a machine with a useful life
of 10 years for $4,000, take
a 7 per cent investment credit
of $500 q per cent of $l0,'
000) and a 20 per cent first
year depreciation deduction
of $4,000 go per cent of $10,-
000D. Then compute your reg
ular depreciation for 1862 on
this property on an adjusted
cost of $1,000 $4,000 less
$4,000 less $1,000.
One warning: there are
certain detailed exceptions
on the kinds of property on
which you can take the cred
it, which you should discuss
with your accountant or at
torney. Also there is no dollar
limit on purchases of new
property eligible for the
credit, but only up to $4,000
of used property bought in
any year is eligible for the
credit.

A business or professional
man who bought depreciable,
tangible personal property
in 1862, well may find an
unexpected tax cut available
when he files his 1862 in
come tax return. This cut is
in the form of a new credit
which you take as a straight
reduction in your tax, not
just as a deduction from tax
able income. 1t is almost the
equivalent of a cash rebate.
Thus, be sure you take full
advantage of the new credit
by completing Form 1853 and
filing it with your tax re-
turn.
Your cost base for comput-
ing your depreciation deduc-
ton is reduced by the
amount of credit to which
you are entitled, whether or
not you actually take the
credit. It would be exceed
ingly wasteful for you not to
take the credit If you are en-
titled to it-and you are en-
titled to the credit for de-
preciable, tangible personal
property you bought in 1862
If 1t has a useful life of four
years or more and is used in
a trade or business or for the
production of income. The
credit is not allowed for
buildings and their structural
components nor for livestock.
The amount of the credit
varies with the length of the
expected useful life of the
asset you buy. If you bought
equipment with a useful life
of four to less than six years,
you get only one-third of the
full 7 per cent credit of the
cost of the equipment; if its
expected useful life is six to
less than eight years, you get
two-thirds of the full 7 per
cent credit; If the equip

6-The New Investment Credit
BY SYLVIA PORTER

ooration With the Research Institute
ment's expected useful life is
eight years or more, you get
a tax credit equal to a full
z per cent of the equipments
cost.
Here is how this works.
Say you bought a new busi-
ness car in 1862 for $4,000,
a truck for $4,000 and two
pieces of equipment for $10,-
900 each. The car has a USE
full life of three years, the
truck four years, one piece
of equipment six years, the
other eight years. You COM
pute your 1862 tax-cutting
investment credit as follows:
Auto-no credit because
life is less than four years.
Truck-One-third Of z per
cent of $4,000, or 500; first
equipment-two-thirds of 7
per cent of $4,000, or $466;
second equipment-100 per
cent of Z per cent of $l0,999,
or $500. Total credit, $1,259.
If your 1862 tax comes to,
say, $4,000, you'll pay $1,259
of it with your investment
credit.
One caution. The cost
of the assets on which de-
probation is computed must
be reduced by the credit. So
in the above example, de-
probation for 1862 on the
truck would have to be based
on $4,000 less a $93 credit or
$3,907, etc.
The new investment credit
is not limited to a manu-
facturer, retailer, etc. A sales
man who bought a car for
business can take the credit
If he intends to use his car
for at least four years. A
dentist who bought a new
dental chair can take the
credit, a doctor who bought
a new X-ray machine can
take the credit and so on.

VEPCO last year spent $29
