officials if they were willing to
accept salary reductions and quite
generally the replies were that re
ductions would be accepted if the
legislature officially reduced the
salaries and if all officers took
the same proportion of salary ad
justment. Several county officials

arguments, pro and con on the

from the $4 000 returned to the
general fund.
Maintenance of market roads
was set at $40,000; general road
funds for work outside of cities
was placed at $9 2,700.
Redactions of between $25,000

CONGRESS
BUDGET PROPOSAL
WASHINGTON'. Dec. 7. (AP)
Slashed a half billion and more
below this year's appropriations,
but depending upon taxes and
economies which congress has
firmly refused to impose, the fi
nal budget to be drawn up by the
Hoover administration was sub
mitted to the lawmakers today.
To avert a deficit in 1934, the
president told congress, it would
be necessary to impose a general
manufacturers' sales tax of 2U
per cent; cut government salaries
11 per cent more than now; slash
compensation and pensions to vet
erans, and retain the gasoline tax
of one cent a gallon.
The present fiscal year, he said,
will end with a deficit now esti
mated at more than 1.140r000,
000. The only way he could see to
balance next year's budget, after
the departments had completed
cuts netting f397,553,000 of sav
ings, was to enact legislation to
save $132,000,000 more, and to
raise $492,000,000 additional rev
enue. (Continued from paste 1)

SEA THRUSH GIVETI
UP; BACK BROKEN
ASTORIA. Ore.. Dee. 7. (AP)
The freighter Sea Thrush, her
back broken by the constant
movement of sand and ware
against her sides, was abandoned
to tho way of the sea tonight, and
the likelihood appeared that oven
attempts to have her cargo would
be given up.
Since the Shepard line ship,
seeking tho entrance of the Col
umbia river in a heary fog Sun
day, grounded on Clatsop spit,
strenuous efforts by powerful tugs
and coast guard cutters had been
made to float her, but the stub
born sands yielded no part of
their grip on her.
The Columbia River Salvage
company took the ship over today
from the underwriters on what
was understood to be a 50-50
basis. They had hoped to salvage
much of the cargo and equipment.
Later today, however, salvage
company officials admitted the
possibility that no effort will be
made to salvage the cargo. Flour,
they pointed out, makes up a large
part of the cargo In the holds,
