THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL 14 TUESDAY, - DECEMBER 28, 1918. PORTLAND, OREGON. 1 V; SEC OLCOTT RECEIVES ENCOMIUMS ? ON HIS STATE BUDGET First Similar Document Pub lished Two Years Ago, V Showed Need of the Work, cover: bulk of needs Deputy Secretary Zoiu Oot Oot Vm eat ItotMBtat After a Moath'g Hard Work. , Memberi of the legislature, state officials and others who art lnter eatad In the question of legislative ap propriations and general governmental expense are loud In their praise of the "state budget" prepared by Secretary Of State Olcott and Just issued. Secretary of State Olcott asked the legislature of 1913 for a statute re quiring all units of the state jr ,vern ttient, touching its financial condition, ' to prepare and forward to his office, prior to December 15 of each year, before a legislative session, a state . tnent of expenses and financial re quirements for the succeeding two years. The legislature enacted such y a law and provided that the secretary ;, Of state should cause these estimates W to be compiled for the Information of '-the legislature and the people. . Two years ago Mr. Olcott published . the first state budget, which proved of great help to the legislature. It was Incomplete, however, because .1; many of the departments and other .governmental units did not furnish their estimates as directed by the law. 5 The new budget for 1917-18 covers the entire financial needs of the state, ; With one exception. The fish and ., game commission failed or neglected ; to furnish Its estimate of expenses or report of the expenditures of the past ' ' two years. The budget gives a clear and com prehensive financial statement for the ' fiscal yesrs of 1913-14 and 1915-16, . as well as the estimates for the com- lng biennial of 1917-18. Undoubtedly . it will be of great value to the mem bers of the legislature. Especial cred ' It for the compilation Is due Sam Koser, deputy secretary of state, who - worked steadily, late at night and on Sundays, fur more than a month In ' order to arrange and tabulate the mass of statistics composing the bud--. get.

TU i -change of tokens by i one employe to another afforded much V hilarity because of their quaintness : and incongruity. John Sharp, head of . the retail department, and Albert Bar- nickel of the office staff delivered the employes' gifts to the heads of the , firm. Days Really Longer; Almanac Shows It Kan Who Walks to Work Makes mart, liar Discovery, aad Then Starts Sag. via Morning Argument. . The man -who walks to work bustled into the office this morning with the importance of a new discovery. "The days are getting longer." be announced pompously. "Well, the night seemed mighty short." agreed the person who Christmas entertainment kept him up late last night, and who was still vatnly striving to rub the sleep from his eyes. "Yes, sir," continued the man who walks to work, "points trat I passed in the dark a few morning ago stood out in broad daylight this morning. And yet the fool electnc&n kept the lights on after the crosses on St. Francis' church had begun to reflect the sunrise. Force of habit, I sup pose. "I wanted to walk backward, for the dawning, with the silhouette of Mount Hood bulked against the eastern sky, was wonderful." "Oh, that accounts for your longer day," volunteered the person with sleepy eyes. "You forget that a few mornings ago we had fog and low hanging clouds and drizzling rain, and today is clear as a bell." This started the usual morning argument, but the man who walks to work won. Ho found an almanac which declared that the shortest days of the year como December 20-23, and that by the morn ing of the twenty-sixth there is suffi cient lengthening of the day to be noted by a close observer.

Two years ago Ruehler operated an elevator In the Northwest building. He was an orphan, 8 j6 education be yond the gammar grades of the Montavilla school, was not his. Through the persuasions of his friends, he studied movie acting, and after he went to Los Angeles, he waited his chance. He was only one of hundreds, but finally the director of the Keystone company cast a favorable eye upon him. From then on his success was as sured and at the present' time, after a year's experience, in the game he draws half a hundred weekly, with the American Film company. "A good photographic face and un tiring persistence are prerequisitles to success In the movie field," said Buehler, when asked for the secret of his fortune. He played, among other films, in the "Secret of the Subma rine" as the double of Chatterton. Hard work, he says, is the constant lot or the motion picture actor, the hours on duty extending sometimes until 2 or 3 in the morning, with pros pects of being punctual next morn ing at 8.
