WOLI.K lir.DUCK KXPEXIIITUKBS
WASHINGTON. Mar.' 30 (Pi New
assurances that the ways and means
committees could count on reduc
tions ln lederal expenditures of al
most a quarter of a billion dollars
were given today by members of the
house appropriations and expendi
tures committees.
While the ways and means com
mittee was drafting new amendments
to the revenue bill to tap new sources
of revenue. Chairman Byrns of the
appropriations committee told news
papermen a slash of 243,O0O,OOO In
governmental expenses was not an
extravagant estimate. -
At about the same time, repre
sentative Williamson of South Da
kota, ranking Republican on the ex
riiti,r.a rfimmittcB. said a pro
gram had been outlined by that com
mittee and tlie special economy tum
mlttee which if enacted, would re
sult ln a saving of about $240,000,000.
Williamson said he expected that
within the week bills would be re
ported by . both committees which
will result in substantial cuts.
"Others will follow," he said. "These
bills will cover -a wide range and re
sult ln either drastic reductions or
total eliminations of certain activ
ities considered by the committee as
unnecessary.
"The proposed salary cut lor gov
ernment employes has not been aban
doned by the economy committee,"
he said. "But has' been laid aside
for the time being to permit a more
thorough study of what economies
can be accomplished ln other direc
tions." "
While the new tax program calls
for a saving of $243,000,000 In gov
ernment expenses ln order to bal
ance the budget, Speaker Garner
told newspapermen today additional
revenue proposals would be offered
to take care of at least part of
that sum. .
130,000,000 Lopped Off
Already about $130,000,000 has
been lopped off of six appropriation
bills.
:Byrns based his estimate on a
$150,000,000 saving In the annual
supply bills and between $60,000,000
and $70,000,000 in salary reductions,
with the remainder to be lopped off
other expenses usually included ln
the deficiency appropriations.
"This is based wholly on what my
committee will do on the appropria
tion bi;:s' he said. "The senate has
Indicated its determination to cut ap
propriations ten per cent below the
house mark. This easily would ac
count for a $243,000,000 saving with
out taking salaries Into account."
Byrns said he believed $30,000,000
could be cut out of the budget bu
reau's estimate for the army and
navy without injuring national de
fense. Prospects for passage of the new
revenue bill by the house before the
end of the week appeared more favor
able as the members went Into the
day's session.
Controversy Likely
Some controversy Is expected over
tho ways and means committee pro
posal to increase the first class post
age rate from two to three cents
but opponents of the Increase are
split, with Representative La Guard la,
Republican, New York, supporting It.
The house ways and means com
mittee today approved five omend
merits to the revenue bill which are
expected to yield an additional $45,
000,000. They propose Increases ln
the corporate income tax, a corpor
ate Income tax of 16 per cent on con
solidated and affiliated returns, an
8 per cent levy on oil pipe line
charges, a 5 per cent tax on the
manufacturers price on airplanes and
an Increase to 33 1-3 per cent in
the maximum rate in the proposed
gift tax. .
Exemption Lowered
The house today lowered the ex
emption of surtax rates to $6000
from $10,000. The estimated yield
Is $7,000,000.
Tho new rale on $6000 up to $10,000
is one per cent, and is graduated up
ward. HILGARD

Westinghouse Co
Declares Dividend
NEW YORK. Mar. 30 m Westing-
house Electric Co. declared a dividend
of 25 cents a share today on tho.
common stock, payable April 30 to
stock of record April 11.
A year ago the dividend on the
common stock was reduced to $1.00
quarterly from the previous rate of
$1.26. After two disbursements at
this rate payments were cut to 62
cents quarterly.
The regular quarterly dividend of
cents on the preferred stock was
ordered by the board, also payable
April 30 to April 11.
The common dividend declared to
day came as something of a surprise
to Wall street, as it had been gen
erally expected for some time that the
company would discontinue payments
on the junior issue because of un
satisfactory earnings. ..,,. . ,

No More Bonds For
Relief Purposes
PORTLAND, Mar. 30 m The state
highway commission will proceed
with its program of letting contracts
for highway construction and will
lssuo no more bonds to provide emer
gency employment relief. This was
tho statement made here today by
Lesllo M. Scott, chairman of the com
mission. Scott, with Carl G. Wash
burne, commissioner, and R. H. Bal
dock, highway engineer, conferred ln
Salem Tuesday with Governor Meier
on highway matters. Scott said one
of these questions was unemploy
ment relief.
Nearly $4,000,000 now is available
for construction work, he said. This
Includes more than $2,000,000 of the
commission's funds, and $1,600,000
ln federal aid funds. Scott said the
latter would be lost to the state un
der the emergency relief program.
Scott said that with all this money
available, more Jobs can be created
and more cash distributed.

ent rate of expenditure, the next gen
eration will bo saddled with enor
mous debts. The state is bonded to'
(tho limit for road work, building Im
'provement and other factors, and the
next generation will have to pay those
debts In addition to the, $2,000,000
total debt of the educational institu
tions, and the debt of $1,300,000 for
fraternity and sorority houses.
I The board asked for $0,000,000 for
the year, $6,000,000 appropriated by
the state legislature, one half mil
lion dollars from tho federal govern
ment, and one-fourth million dollars
from the county, while tho indirect
tax on student fees amounted to
$1,633,000 last year, with athletics
bringing it to about $2,000,000. The
state cut the referendum for two
years, leaving $5,000,000 on which to
operate. It was necessary to save $2,
000,000 in order to run the schools on
the money provided for their upkeep,
Mrs. Pierce stated. There Is not a
state that hasn't cut down on tho
expenditures, she added. The Uni
versity of Washington cut 21 per cent,
whilo at Yale university many of the
buildings ore being dosed to save on
running expenses.
The board was told to make a sur
vey and to unify the educational sys
tems, which was done after careful
study,' she said.
When making tho report, the board
of higher education considered not
only tho financial reasons for unifi
cation, but also the regional comety.
No state is rich enough to offer
everything ln the way of education,
Mrs. Plerco stated. Oregon started
everything In the two Institutions
with expensive deans and secretaries.
The state, therefore, had to look over
tho system and measure the demand,
costs and usefulness of the depart
ments. In tho program of unifica
tion there will bo one president, one
budget made up according to th:
course of study and no allocation of
funds; one catalogue, and no dupli
cation in both schools, but with the
work arranged in upper and lower
Idivlsions,. following the plan intro
duced at the University of Oregon by
President Arnold Bennett Hall.
Tho lower division years will be the
same as they ore now in both schools,
while the duplications will be elim
inated in the higher division. Sci
ence will bo segregated at Oregon
State college, while commerce, educa
tion and physical education will be
taken to the University of Oregon.
The departments ln both schools will
bo kept in proportion. The result of
the unification movement eliminated
unnecessary duplication and placed
all the major schools at one or the
other of the institutions. One dean
will be selected for each department,
and no essential things will bo lost,
but tho administrative costs will be
lower with one organization serving
whero beforo there were two. Furtho:
curtailment Is also anticipated, Mrs.
Pierce pointed out, since it Is neces
sary to cut the operating costs of the
two institutions $2,000,000.
The school of Journalism, the
board believed, was unduly expanded
for the number of Jobs which offer
themselves to graduates annually.
The University of California, ln a
state whero many more papers are ln
operation, docs not have a separate
school of Journalism but the work is
handled under another major depart
ment, Mrs. Pierce said. Whether the
department of Journalism will be
placed under liberal arts or social scl-

not been settled.
The board also feels that too much
in fees are collected ln the lower di
vision or first two years, while in tho
upper division the students haven't
been charged relatively for the price,'
of tuition. The question beforo tho
board now is whether the students In, ,
law and medicine shall pay part of
their own tuition, or whether tho
work shall be free. Mrs. Plerco feels,
ln accordance with the board, that j
discrimination Is made ln favor of
the two schools, while in other do-,
partments graduate students pay'
their own way. (
