OREGON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1931, VOL. XXIXNO. 308 OF THE EVENING NEW3 Era 1TTEE nr. .,-. WIWW Editorials on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS FOR the third time In the history of staid Oregon, an inaugural hall murks the advent of a new governor. Inaugural balls are quite all riRht. But one wonders what would huve happened if many of those whose votes contributed to Governor Meier's majotity had ap peared at the doors of the armory in Salem last night seeking ad mittance. IT is now Governor, not Governor-elect, Meier. Governor Meier faces great opportunities. Me has ability. - lie has wealth, lie has a pleasant personality. And his stale NliEBS leadership. ir he can give Oregon what Ore gon needs, his name will go down in history. WITH the new governor taking oftlce and the legislature as sembling for its biennial session. Oregon faces a deficit of around P.iioii, noil. That is to say, Oregon lias run behind in Its current bills to the extent of about three mil lion dollars. If your living expenses are larg er than your income, you know what that means. OREGON 'lias a deficit of three million dollars. California has a SURPLUS of thirty million dol lars. California anticipates that this year, because of unusual condi tions, her expenses will be some what Increased and her Income somewhat reduced. This differ ence between income and outgo in this exceptional year will be met by drawing on tile surplus. That Is a comfortable position to be in. CALIFORNIA, this writer would say offhand, has no particular business with a surplus of $:!0, OiHi.iioo. which represents money taken out of the taxpayer's pocket above current needs. The taxpayer could have been using that money just as advantageously as the state. nut. as between a deficit and a surplus. It must he conceited that a sui plus is preferable. OREGON'S deficit ISN'T due to poverty. Orec-TV 'n proportion to population, is one of the wealth iest of the states. Our deficit traces back to poor business methods. We haven't been levying taxes enough as we go along to meet our bills. Of, if you prefer to put it the other way around, we have been spending beyond our maximum pos sible income under our existing system of taxation. HERK Is a statement that is substantially true: It ALL THE WKALTII of Ore gon were taxed as PART of the wealth of Oregon is taxed, we. too. would have a surplus instead of a deficit, and those who pay taxes now would find their annual tax rtatements materially reduced. one of the tasks faciut, the leg islature Is greater equality of taxa tion.
