DEFICIT FACED, VETO AXE TO FALL ON BILLS (ContimifJ from pmg 1.) general election, but no funds were provided to rover the result ant expenditures. It was said that Governor Pat terson also is giving careful study to a bill carrying an appropriation of $178,000 for the Doernbecker hospital in Portland. This appro priation, together with funds al lowed for. the erection of a state office building in Salem, may fall under the veto ax. Friends of Governor Patterson said yesterday that it was necessary td1aake deep cuts in the appropriations because of the inability of the legislature to provide additional revenues. In keeping with his announce ment made prior to the campaign there Is every reason to believe that virtually all ot the salary in crease measures passed during the recent legislative session would be vetoed. Several of these vetoed bills were reported out during the closing days of the legislative ses sion and the vetoes were sustained by the house. It was said that Governor Pat terson probably would make an exception of the bill authorizing increases in the compensation for deputy secretary of state, deputy state treasurer, private secretary to the governor and state tax com missioner. These increased salar ies were requested by the gover nor. Under the provisions of thit bill the salaries of the deputy sec retary of state, deputy state treas urer and private secretary to the governor would he mcreasea not to exceed $3600 a year. The sal ary of the tax commissioner would be limited to $4000 a year. The officials now receive $3000 a year. Figures prepared here yesterday showed that it vetoing the build Ing program the governor would lop off appropriations aggregating more than $1,200,000. This sav ing could be increased materially by eliminating the state office building bill which carries an ap propriation of $60,000 annually. It was pointed out that ex-Gov ernor Pierce four years ago vetoed appropriations amounting to more than $600,000. There was no building program submitted to the 1925 legislature, and as a result the reductions effected by the former eovernor had to do with appropriations for going institu tions. . In the absence of any direct statement from Governor Patter son yesterday there were indica tions that the first of the building program vetoes would be released on Monday. Under the law all bills now on the governor's desk must be disposed of within the next five days. Considerable influence is being brought upon the governor not to disturb the appropriation of $178,- 000 for the Doernbecker hospital in Portland. A largo number of telegrams and letters were receiv ed at - the executive department yesterday urging that this appro priation be allowed to stand. It was said that the hospital would be unable to operate without the appropriation. Community appeals also have been received at the executive de partment in. behalf of the various normal school appropriations and the appropriation for the Univer sity of Oregon library building.

() KLAMATH LINE PERMIT DENIED OREGON TRUNK (Continued from page 1.) settle differences by joint use ar rangement rather than proceed with competitive building. The commission laid down con ditions for the preparation of the contemplated joint usage contract, but declared that the question of branch line construction should not be covered by it. Commissioner McManamy dis sented from the majority, and held that unless the Oregon Trunk en tered the territory on its own rails, as it. desired to do, the population there'would be denied effective railroad competition. ST. PAUL. M.inn., Feb. 26 (AP) Permission to construct a new line into Klamath Falls, Ore., for the Oregon Trunk railroad was sought from the I. C. C. only after negotiations with the Southern Pacific for trackage rights rental into territory had failed because of "unsatisfactory terms," Charles Donnelly, president of the North ern Pacific, said here today. The Oregon Trunk is owned jointly by the Great Northern and Northern Pacific. Mr. Donnelly said he would withhold comment on the decision of the I. C. C. denying the Oregon Trunk permission to construct a new line into the Klamath basin until he had studied the complete text of the decision. "I am in doubt as to what the decision permits and what it does not," Mr. Donnelly said. "Before placing this matter before the commission we sought to work out a rental arrangement to use the THE OREGON Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday Thaff&D m ! i . i t i i I ELSINORE THEATRE Southern Pacific tracks into the basin, but were unable to reach a satisfactory agreement as to terms and accessibility to the re gion." He declined to say whether the $165,000 trackage rights rental charge fixed by the commission's decision was "satisfactory terms. KLAMATH FALLS, Feb. 26 (AP) The ruling of the I. C. C. today denying the Oregon Trunk line the right to construct its own line from Bend to Klamath Falls, may tend to hasten the construc tion of the Modoc Northern rail road and thereby give Klamath Falls an eastern outlet for its farm produce and timber. This was the view expressed here today by many business men of this city. Paul Shoup, executive vice president of the Southern Pacific, announced recently, it was pointed out, that if the commission deci sion on the central railroad case was "favorable," the chances for the construction of the Modoc Northern in the near future was likely. Believing there is now some doubt of the northern lines and the southern lines coming to an agreement on the joint use basis, Klamath Falls business men look for an early announcement of the construction of the Modoc Northern, it was said in mafly quarters tonight.
