Revenue Which Oregon Must
Furnish for 1909
Expenses.-
U. P. BUYS AT CENTRALIA
YEARLY INCREASE LARGE
Deficit Appropriation for State Uni
versity Included Tills Time.
SI 00,000 for Oregon City
Locks May Be Kefunded.
SALEM. Or.. Dec. 21. Special.) The
total amount of revenue to be raided for
state purposes for l?f!t will be approxi
mately $1,675,000. of whlrh about $400,000
will be derived from Indirect sources,
leaving $1,275,000 to be apportioned among
the several counties. This amount Is
$125,000 greater than the levy last year
and $250,000 greater than the levy two
years ago. The Increase this year Is due
in part to the holding np of the Univer
sity of Oregon appropriation bill last
year, by reason of which the levy for
190 was at the rate of $47,500 per year,
' as provided by laws then In existence.
Since the appropriation bill has Rone
Into effect, carrying an appropriation dat
ing back -to January 1, 1807. it will be
necessary. In making the 1S09 levy to In
c'ude a rntversity of Oregon deficit of
about $155,000. The 1909 levy will In
clude $100,000 for the purchase of the
Oregon City locks. Should the Legis
lature repeal the locks appropriation bill,
this $100,000 will be In the treasury sub
ject to appropriation for other purposes.
One installment of $100,000 has already
been levied.
The levy will not be made until early
in January. 1909. but the toial amount
here indicated. $1,273,000. is cl se enough
to the actual amount that will be levied
so that County Courts may act upon it In
computing- their shares of state taxes.
Already a number of counties have been
anxiously Inquiring what the state levy
will be. Under existing laws, the ap
portionment among the counties will be
made at a fixed ratio which has been tn
force a number of years.
In making the apportionment for 190!).
the State Board will be confronted with
the problemof making an apportionment
between Hood River and Wasco Counties
without any law prescribing how the ap
portionment shall be made. The act
creating Hood River County contained no
provision upon this subject. The State
Hoard passed the question up to the
Attorney-Oeneral and that ofticial has
advised the Board to divide the Wasco
County ratio between Wasco and Hood
River In proiortidn to assessed valua
tions. Thus the law prescribing the ratio
of apportionment of state taxes requires
that Wasco County pay .0234 of the whole
amount. But since then Hood River
County has been carved out of Wasco.
The assessed valuation of Wasco County
Is now $5,927,345 and that of Hood River
J'-'.S 70.2S0. Dividing the apportionment
accordingly. Wasco's new ratio will be
.015S and that of Hood P.lver .007.
Thcugh there Is no law expressly author
ising such an apportionment, the Attorney-General
expresses the opinion that
this is equitable and should be adopted.
The Hoard will follow his advice.
Kach county can ascertain approxi
mately the amount of its share of the
Mate taxes for 1909 by multiplying
Jl.275.0ii0 by Its ratio. The ratios of the
several counties are as follows:

320-acre dry farm homestead bill is de
cidedly gloomy. When Congress assem
bled the friends of this measure enter
tained hope that the objectionable fea
tures might be eliminated and the bill
as amended be agreed to before March 4.
Representative Mondell, chairman of
the Public Lands Committee, who has
charge of the bill in the House, has been
canvassing the situation, and as a result
of his inquiries believes that it will be
Impossible to secure any further action
this Congress. Members 'of the House
generally are Inclined to view this meas
ure with suspicion, for the impression
was created during the consideration of
the conference report last session that
the bill contained a joker and- that it
could be so construed as to permit the
entry of almost any vacant public lands
in tracts of 320 acres, and under terms
much more lenient than allowed in the
present homestead law.
Accordtng to Mr. Mondell. the opposi
tion to the bill hinges on the so-called
Smoot amendment, which permits entry
men, under certain circumstances, to ac
quire title without residing upon the
land. This amendment was adopted to
meet conditions in Utah, but for some
unexplained reason the Utah Senator
would not consent to confine the amend
ment to his state alone, but Insisted
that It should be general In Its effect
and. applicable to all arid and semi-arid
states.
Friends of dry farm legislation have
appealed to Senator Smoot this session to
withdraw his amendment, or at least
re-draft it so as to apply only to Utah.
Senator Smoot has replied that Secie
tary Garfield is responsible for the gen
eral character of his amendment and has
virtually Insisted that the amendment
be made applicable to all parts of the
arid West, rather than to the state of
Utah alone.
Whatever may be the merits of the dis
pute, the fact remains that the House
of Representatives will not consent to
the passage of any kind of a home
stead bill which will enable the settler
to obtain title to 320 acres of land
unless he is required to reside on it.
Senator Smoot believes that he can se
cure the final passage of a non-resident
dry farm bill applicable only to Utah,
and If this could be done it might open
the way for an agreement upon the gen-
eral 320-acre hill. The probabilities are,
however, that Senator Smooth will not
he able to pass a non-resident I'tah bill,
for the objections raised in the Hotis?
last session would be raised again, and
I'tah having but a single Congressman,
the bill would stand little show of get
ting through. From present indications
It would seem that the dry farm home
stead 'bill would have to go over until
the next regular session of Congress,
one year from now. when an entirely new
measure, lacking the objectionable fea
tures of tae one now pending, could be
introduced with some show of favorable
consideration. .
