Kalispell Chamber of Commerce
P. 0. Box 978
Kalispell. Montana 59901
DATE April 23. 1974
SUBJECT AREA: Kalispell City Business License Proposal
SUBMITTING COMMITTEE: Specially Appointed Taskforce Legislative
Action Council
STATEMENT OF POSITION:
It lathe unanimous opinion of the Special Taskforce, of .the Legislative Action
Council of the Kalispell Chamber of Commerce, that our association of business and
community development interests oppose the City of Kalispell's Business License
Proposal.
FRO]
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
An explanation of the Specially Appointed Taskforcets opposition centers around the
following points:
1. Why tax legitimate business to control itinerants or peddlers? If
itinerant control is needed, then an ordinance responsive to that
situation should be enacted.
2. Present city, county and state statutes provide for the necessary
enforcement of sanitary, fire and police inspections.
3. -If revenue -making is the purpose af-this ordinance, whether for the ..
city general fund or the actual inspections themselves, then it
should be noted that a city ordinance for the sole purpose of obtain-
ing revenue is illegal.
4. Since the original principles of taxation, within the Sixteenth
Amendment to the United States Constitution, were to distribute the
burden of the tax load proportionately to all citizens, the elimination
of specific business categories -from the current City Business License
Proposal is discriminatory and unequitable.
5. The taskforce recommends that the Board of Directors of the Kalispell
Chamber of Commerce, duly elected from and by the membership, oppose
the City of Kalispell's Business License Proposal.
DATE APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS April 23, 1974
SIGNATURE OF THE PRESIDENT (signed) Paul Wachholz
