Montana Tax Talk and Prison Reform in 1921 Speech
Governor discusses state finances from the prior year, critiques prison costs and wardens, and outlines tax reform ideas. He cites prison cost reductions after changing the warden, argues for a gasoline road tax modeled on Oregon, and advocates a 1 to 3 percent inheritance tax and a 1 percent oil license approach to fund schools amid a strained treasury.
Governor Dixs Tax Plan Advocates Permanent Commission
The speech argues a permanent Montana tax commission modeled after other states to modernize property assessment and revenue, oppose broad income taxes on farms and banks, and defend primary elections while warning against repealing them. It cites Utahs inheritance tax as a contrast and urges a constitutional amendment this fall to create the board. The governor criticizes current boards of equalization and calls for scientific, centralized tax machinery.
