Helena Aug 10—A decided revival in business activities thru

Business generally is good in the
state and net profits are increasing,
-84 corporations showing total pro-:

with about $10,000,000 for the same

expense for the average business has
not increased with the greater vol

increased proportionately
expenses
and profits of Montana institutions
are now comparable to the best years
in the history of the state.
"By way of further analysis," Mr.
Stewart says, "twenty-six different
types of business show an increase in
net profits of about 173 per cent over
last year, while 13 different types of
business show a decrease of 32 per
cent. The number of corporations
earning a net profit greater than
$2,600 a year has increased from 664
in 1925 and 805 in 1927 to 884 on
July 1, 1928. We are able to make
this almost an exact statement of the
true condition of Montana business as
a result of information secured in the
examination of corporation state
ments incidental to the collection of
the one per cent tax upon the net
profits of all corporations transacting
business within the state, both domes
tic and foreign. Each corporation is
required to pay to the state one per
cent of the net profits except that an
arbitrary deduefon of $2,600 is per

by the board this year was $245,520.45
