Foeaible Solution Of Problem Viewed Steps which' should be taken Inelnde: ' 1. All moneys raised by the state should go to the support of the general budget, highway de partment excepted. -- 2. Every so-called "self-sustain-' tag" department should receive Its sole source of operating rev enue through legislative appro priations rather than withholding for its own use a portion of the funds It collects by licenses, fees and taxes. . There must be more unifi cation of state boards and com missions; the 15 or more pro fessional qualification boards could be readily unified into one with non-paid commissions meet ing from time to time to pre scribe examinations and require ments for the. special vocation the commission represents. 4. Provision must shortly be made for the retirement In order ly fashion of more than $2,000, 000 of state irrigation bonds, gen eral state obligations issued to pay Interest on ill-fated irrigation projects the state backed and re ceived therefrom nothing. B. Reserves must shortly be set up to amortize from year to year the inevitable shrinkage be tween assets and liabilities In the state bonus commission's depart ment. Proceeds from part of the bonds sold by the commission went to pay cash bonus 10 years ago: the day of reckoning ap proaches and must be provided for. I. The state urgently needs classification of standard Jobs clerkships, stenographers work, janltorshlps. etc., so the great dis crepancies now existing between denartments would be ended. 1. Similar standardization of work and pay should be applied to all of Oregon's 3 counties which now have a patchwork iiavment system, the delegation from each county reworking its it schedule biennially at the legislative session. Days of depression and finan elal stress are excellent ones to make the state's financial house and administrative system more ship-shape. In good times lob bies at the legislature working for this and that bureau ean usu ally block an executive, no matter how determined he may be. Now this cannot be done If the ad- mlntctrntlnn uainr the Club Of public oninion, proposes clear-cut nlana for Unification, reduction and simDlification of state affairs and demands that the reforms be made into law. j i . .. i - .... f : v - ; ; v-'' s- if p; . vti i ' 5 i y "tJ4Ttf. i&S a of -a", ; ? f k t - & v -y-r I: Ul - I - - . !
