Number 48
Discusses The
Last Session
State Solons
Most folks have a hazy idea
how a bill goes through the state
legislature to become a law, but
few can give the entire procedure.
A short summary of this was pre
sented last Monday evening to the
Libby Lions by Lion D. F. Fewkes,
Lincoln County's member of the
state senate. Said the Senator,
when a member of either house
introduces a bill, he gives notice
the date he will introduce the bill
and its title and purpose.
After the bill is introduced it goes
to the proper committee for con
sideration. This committee takes
action and brings the bill back with
its recommendations. If the recom
mendation is favorable, the bill is
printed and placed on the general
file. It is discussed section by sec
tion, and if passed is sent to the
other house, where it goes through
a similar procedure. If amended
here, the bill must be returned to
the house of its origin to have the
amendments confirmed, and after
it has finally been approved by
both houses it is sent to the gov
ernor for his signature.
In discussing the growing cost of
financing the state, Lion Fewkes
stated that in 1923 the general fund
appropriations for a two year per
iod amounted to four and one-half
million dollars. This had increased
by 1945 to 16 millions; in 1947 to
22% millions, and in '49 to 39%
million dollars. He mentioned that
some of the aopropriations which
may be considered as permanent in
vestments include $900,000 for an
institution to care for the senile;
and $600,000 to supplement a fed
. eral appropriation of $1,500,000 to
house tubercular Indians at Galen.
Here is where your general fund
tax dollar goes for the next two
years," stated the Senator: "Educa
tion 33c; health & welfare 24c; cus
todian institutions, 20c; state de
partments, 19c; elective offices, 2c;
and other expenses 2c."
The system of financing the pub
lic schools has been completely re
vised and is now commuted on a
per pupil schedule. Contributions
to the foundation program will be
on the following basis: district
levies, 22 -per cent; county-wide
levies, 43%; state aid, 33%: other
funds ear-marked, 2%. State aid
for the next two years will total
$8.600,000. an increase of $5,600,000.
A special linuor tax will be of
interest to cities and towns, the
monies going to municioal govern
ments. This tax of 6% will
distributed on a basis of the num
ber of registered voters. Lincoln
County is expected to receive about
$10,000 from this source, Libby's
share being from $2,500 to $3.000.
Highway funds will be strengthened
bv a 1c added tax on gasoline
diesel fuel, and beginning January
1, 1950 a "use" tax on cars and
trucks will become effective, which
provides for a tax of from $3
cars to $100 for certain trucks.
An optional increase of county
levies from 16 to 20 mills has been
permitted for the two vear period.
County Library levies may also
increased two mills. Other legis
lation includes repeal of the pre
mium law, increase of about $400
for county officers' salaries, clos
ing of courthouses Saturday after
noons, increase of mileage for
sheriffs,. increase firemen's dis
ability fund levy one mill; increase
of workman's compensation, and
unemployment assistance.
Business taken care of at the
Monday evening meet ing included
the setting of Saturday. April 30
as the tentative date for ladies'
night; and the decision to sponsor
Mitchell King, Magician in a pro
gram to be given in Libby Septem
ber 20. Lion Zwang discussed a
statewide "Keep Montana Green"
program and it was proposed that
the Libby club sponsor this move
ment at the state convention which
will be held June 15, 16, 17 and 18 in
Billings. A committee was set up
to check the project. Dr. Cairns

and the city health officer the week

ing held this week. At that time
the board acted favorably upon
request made by the teachera
a cost of living adjustment. The
request was granted on the condi-L
tion that finances be available
without the voting of a special levy
and that a minimum of one hundred
eight days of actual teaching time
exclusive of holidays and other
days when school is not in session
be required. This last condition
was added b«. u s. of the fact th.t
state distribution of money is now
based upon this amount of time.

P a Y for this item than would nor

of $100.00 for the year was granted
only as a cost of living adjustment
and does not become a part of the
rejpilar salary schedule. It may be
eliminated next year if costs de
crease. The decision to grant
increase was reached only after
car eful comparison of local salaries
wltb those in other towns in Mon
tana as to present salaries and plans
for increases next year. This ad
ustment will not only tend to keep

Legislation passed during the past
session will aid the local school in
taking care of the salary increase,
providing for additional enrollment,
and cost of operating of the new
buildings for a somewhat lower /
rhlllage than was necessary for fho4
curront year. While final interpre
tation of the new law must be made
before figures can be accurately de
terminer! it appears that there will
be a slight decrease in local taxes
for operation of the schools.
