BUDBCTRGUflB
Col, Abrams Sends Blanks
: and Instructions to
Departments
; Col. Carlo Abrams, 'executive
officer for the state budget com
' . mission, yesterday 5 mailed out to
the Tarious state departments and
institutions . blanks and instruc
tions for the : respective budget
estimates. The same pamphlet of
classifications and instructions
used In 1922 is used this year,
except that a list of - special in
structions is added. They I are
seat to 139 department and board
heads. .
' "Statements," say the Instruc
tions,, "must be filed not later
than October 1, 1924, according
to law. - i
"The commission urges that
these statements be made and sent
in at once,. as the. report calls for
" the exact expenditures to June 30
and the estimate of expenditures!
lor the last six months of the
present bicnnlum. Considerable
time is required to compile the
nudget and considerable time is
required by the budget commis
sion in reviewing the reports and
making their recommendations.
Requests made in early reports
will,. therefore, receive more care
ful consideration." , j,
' A letter 'accompanying the in
structions says:
f"In harmony with a desire for
efficiency In public service and a
well-defined demand on the part
of the taipaylng public lor! a de
crease in public expenditures,
each official t.who' makes an esti
mate of requirements is urged to
carefully scrutinize each Item and
to reduce all such items to the
lowest possible limit consistent
with efficiency In that department."
smoothed but on the west side,
there was still plenty of room for
improvement.- . j
When work, on Oak street Js
finished it is hoped that some
thing will be done to the road or
stret on toj of the west hill. Con
ditions there are as bad or worse
than the east hill ever was. One
Salem business ! man remarked
last summer that he had not
fouud a worse stretch of road in
several counties. Tourists visiting
Silverton for the; first time who
come In over this road gain any
thing but. a favorable impression
of road conditions in Silverton.:
Silverton ?ast Hill
At Last to Be Improved
. ;. SILVERTON, Ore., July 10.
Special to The Statesman ).The
longrhoped-for improvement 1 of
the East hill Is now in sight as
a result of the . contract awarded
by . the citycouncil to Harmon &
Wilson Monday night. . This con
tract call for the improvement of
East Oak Street and It is thought
that the work : will begin soon
probably within a week or two.
f or many years the East Hill has
been the dread " of motorists as
well as of, those who found It
necessary to drive over the hill
with horses. Several-months ago

Taylor Believes Oregon
Flax Will Beat the World
C. E. Taylor, living two miles
from Aumsville. Is a flax enthu
siast , This spring he visited the
linen mills in the eastern part of
the country. He visited the Bart-
rums in Toronto, the Starlings in
North Tonawanda, and went
through a number of mills. He
also visited the fields an4 looked
at the products.
It is my deliberate judgment,!
said Mr. Taylor to a Statesman re
presentative, "that the flax inj)re
gon this year, poor as it is, is just
as good it not better for linen pur
poses than the best they can raise
in the east. The fact Is that the
.east is not a flax cpunry and neverl
will De. l oniy iouna one uuen
mill running and yet the demand
tpr linen is not supplied, but the
conditions there are wrong. They:
not only do not have the flax but
they do not have the water and
can not care for the retting as it
should be done. '
"I believe the flax in the Wil
lamette valley is 'a- world beater.'
I have looked up the records and
I find that our fiber excels any-;
thing reported. Our crop this
year will be about 50 per cent
but It will not discourage any of
us. This is the first year I have
raised flax but I am going to raise
a lot more next year. It. is the
coming business In the Willamette
valley." ' ;, I :-- ; L; i j
Mr. Taylor purchased the tur
bine wheel out of an old mill In
Labish bottoms and is preparing
to ret flax. He expects to develop
between 300 and 400 horse power
and says that next year he is go
ing to assure his neighbors that
their flax crop will be cared for.
; "It is only a question of time,"!
said Mr. Taylor, ''when more t ban
one mill will be in this valley. We
have the edge on production. We
have the edge on quality and men
of means are going to put their
mills here, more than one. My
neighbors think 1 am a flax 'enthusiast.-
I am. j I spent good
money to find the truth of the flax
situation and my observations con
vinced me that the Willamette val
ley is the opportunity of the world
to make money In raising flax."
