DEBT SLASHING
Amount and Percentage of
Reduction are Highest
Is Holman Report
$340,000 Paid, off in Last
Year to Remove Last
Bond Obligation
While 32 of the 36 counties in
Oregon reduced their bonded in
debtedness daring the btennluni
which ended July 1. 1932. Mar
ion county's decrease was greater
than any other both in amount
and percentage, according to a
report lust released by State
Treasurer Holman.
Marion county's percentage re
duction was seven-tenths of 1 per
cent of the assessed valuation
Marion county also joined with
Josephine, Polk, Linn, Umatijla
and Washington counties in elim
inating all bonded debt.
"No county has an indebtedness
for road and bridge purposes
equal to the constitutional limlta
tion of 5 per cent of its valua
tion
"Fifteen counties showed slight
increases In debt rations," said
Holman. "In six instances the in
creases were due to declines in
assessed valuations rather than to
actual Increases in outstanding
obligations
"Counties which increased their
Indebtedness during the two years
were Multnomah and Coos. Bonds
Issued amounted to $2,450,000
and $300,000 respectivejy.
Joins Counties With
No Bond Obligations
"Josephine, Linn. Marion, Polk
Umatilla and Washington coun-
ties have no bonded indebtedness
Douglas county had a bonded in
debtedness of $300,000 which was
offset by a sinking fund of equa
amount.
"Reports indicate that within
the next two years Clatsop and
Columbia counties will be includ
ed In the list of those without in
debtedness. "Ten counties have indebtedr
ness of less than 1 per cent of
their assessed valuations, compar
ed with an average of 2.38 per
cent for all sections of the state,
After deducting increases for Coos
and Multnomah counties, the re-
mainder reduced Indebtedness
during the last biennlum by a
total of $1,371,161.25.
Special Mention of

OF JAMES HELM
Anxiety Deepens; son Goes
To San Francisco to
Seek Missing man
Anxiety of friends here deep
ened Monday as no word came to
explain the apparent disappear
ance of James G. Heltsel, promin
ent local attorney, who was not
aboard the liner Admiral Farra
gut when it left San Francisco
Saturday. He had started from
Portland on that vessel, bound
for San Diego.
If Mr. Heltiel had simply miss
ed the boat at San Francisco, as
was hoped at first, two days
would have given him plenty of
time to discover that his absence
had been noted and to report to
authorities there or wire reassur
ances to his family here.
The family had received no
word up to late Monday night
His son, John Heltxel. left Mon
day night for San Francisco to
pick up the traces and attempt to
locate the missing man.
The Associated Press wire
which brought the first news here
that Mr. Heltzel was missing,
supplied no additional Informa
tion Monday night. The Admiral
Farragut is not due at San Diego
until sometime today.
James Q. Heltzel has long been
one of the leaders of the Marion
county bar. He served as a mem
ber of the legislature a number
of years ago, and was president
of the county bar association last
year. He has enjoyed one of the
largest legal practices in the city,
maintaining his offices in the
Ladd and Bu3h bank building.

On Debate at Meeting
Of County's Clubs
PORTLAND, Ore., Sept.
(AP); Force account hand labor
will be abandoned by the state
highway department in favor of
the contract plan in Its new pro
gram, which calls for the expendi
ture of about $300,000 of federal
funds on the Oregon highways,
Leslie M. Scott, chairman ot the
highway commission announced
today.
Scott cited three reasons for
change in policy: Inefficiency of
hand , labor, . low percentage of
utility of some improvements
mad cinder thai system, and Jed
eral jg nlations which require the
conlrtplanJ
"Oregon -has spent $1,500,000
this year for hand labor relief em
ployment by force account,"
Scott said. "One-half that sum
would have done the same wdrk
on a competitive contract basis.
But the present usable value of
the work done is much less; prob
ably not more than 10 per cent
of the sum expended. Relief em
ployment by force account, spread
widely over the state on many
projects, as was done last winter
and spring, is deplorably wasteful
ot public funds; consumes careful
economics made in other direc
tions; causes work to' be done
where it is not needed for practi
cable purposes, or will not be used
by the highway system tor many
years.
Hand Work Deemed

"The efficiency of such work
ranged from 30 to 70 per cent
and averaged 50 per cent or less,

process in 1933 by ruthless nse of
the economy axe.
Increasing Income
Tax Might Do It
It Is the firm belief ot this
writer that a state tax on proper
ty to the extent of two to four
mills must be restored in the 1933
state levy unless one ot the fol
lowing alternatives are consumat-
ed
1. Increase of the state tax on
incomes to eight per cent and re
duction of the exemption provis
ions. 2. Open avoidance of the ser
ious deficit in the state's finances
and increase of that deficit by a
plain overestimate of state funds
to come in by Indirect and income
taxes in 1933.
3. Substitution of new taxes, in
lieu of property taxes, to be de
termined by a special session of
the legislature held In December,
1932. before the state tax com
mission makes the 1933 levy.
State bonae Opinion
Lacking Snpport
The off-hand feeling expressed
around the statehouse is that suf
ficient budget reduction can be
made In 1933 and 1934 to prevent
any restoration of property taxes.
How well does this opinion tally
with the facts?
For the year 1933, the proba
ble minimum financial require
ments of the state will be the fol
lowing: First-half of 13.500.000
1933-34 budget
Higher education and
other millage taxes. 1,400,000
Bonus levy, minimum
possibility 650,000
15,450.000
Tflese estimates make no pro
vision for retiring any of the
state's deficit which as stated pre
viously will be more than 33,
000,000 at the end of 1932. The
estimated budget for the first half
of the new biennlum certainly al
lows for every conceivable cut
which can be made. The 1931-32
budget for state outgo was $9.
800,000 when the legislature fin
ished its work. It Is hardly con
celvable that a reduction tor the
next biennlum could be made to
more than $7,000,000 or nearly a
30 per cent cut. It will be re
markable if state expenses are
thus curtailed.
Most of Millagea
Cannot be Altered
The above provision, for higher
education and other millages Im-
posed by popular vote is based on
a reduced valuation for 1932 but
beyond the slight reducUon there-
by occasioned the millages cannot
be altered. They are Imposed by
law and mast be provided for by
the state tax commission.
There will be agitation that
the state continue to waive any
provision for payment from the
general fund to the state bonus
commlsslon. Such ignoring of the
plain provisions of the law was
made hi December, 1931; It can
scarcely be continued this levy
time. The state bonus commis
sion has bond maturities within
