But now, prospects are that in come tax receipts wilt decline. With to many unemployed and with business suffering from the lumber strike, it looks like income tax receipts will drop. Ttie deficit could be more than 50 millions. , The 1953 Legislature had a sur plus fund amounting to 44 millions, but the surplus facing the next Legislature will be down to 7 mil lions. That means the last Legis lature was 37 million dollars better off than the next one will be. On top of that, the new Legis lature will have to find an extra 5 millions for public welfare, and some money for new college and Institution buildings. N Add this to increased costs in other branches of government, and you have the extra 50 millions that are needed.

WFII HTM'RDirriT ti'-oi;.-.. vi- ;.. I Legislature totaled- 193 million. The new budget wall be well over 200 millions. Where will the needed 50 mil lion dollars come from? The Legislature could levy 24 million of it by a tax on property. Oregon hasn't had a state property tax since 1940. There's a law that limits a state property levy to 6 mills, or about 24 millions. The rest of the needed money could be collected by new taxes. However, this would be difficult, because the voters have a habit of slapping down new taxes. The property tax could be as sessed without the voters getting a chance to defeat it. People often blame the Legisla ture for spending money. But the people, who don't like new taxes, don't hesitate much when it comes to voting to spend money. Of the 193 millions appropriated by the 1953 Legislature, the people By Jo Fischer 'V i IL "ICS X f jy GAL...DYA RGSER ViI'M: Cw in X aa In T n II 1 K W voted to spend 77 millions of it. This latter amount includes 6$ millions in basic school aid to school districts. Reducing state expenses Is a lot harder than it sounds. In the first place, 53 per cent of the budget is used for education. This includes 36 per cent for grade and high schools, and 17 per cent for colleges and the university. Another 14 per cent goes for pub lic welfare, and 19 per cent is used for state institutions. Those costs are hard to cut, be cause the number of children in the schools is increasing, the popu lation of state institutions is on the rise, and demands for state wel fare help grow. ....... The cost of general government totals only 6.7 per cent of the budget, so you can't cut much there. Of the total budget, 75 per cent comes from income taxes.

So said R. H. Baldock, state highway engineer, in a talk before the Kiwanis Club herd Tuesday. The engineer said present fundi were allowing the state to meet current road problems, but he said more money will be needed as the population grows. He said tha state now gets $47 a year in gas tax and license pay ments from the average motorist. A 2-cent-a-gallon tax boost would up this to $59, he said. 'fiWlWMiiw on the cost of new tires!
