MIDGET Double Budget, "Ordinary," "Extraordinary," to Be Set Up, Believed May Permit General Fund's Deficit to Rise to Million, Biennium A .plan for handling Oregon's relief program for 1935 and 1936 and for meeting the "normal" ex penditures of state government for the biennium, without new taxes, had been fairly well worked out yesterday, it was learned from official sources at the statebouse. In such a plan the administra tion and the . joint ways and means committee may agree to let the general fund deficit of the state increase at least 31,090,000 In the coming two years. No provision in the p 1 a n is made for the "social security" program presently to be enacted by .the federal government, it be ing the thought of the Martin ad ministration that no sound legis lation on such a program can be made until congress has outlined its plans. Here is the apparent manner in which state finances will be shap ed by the end of the week: $11,000,000 for "Ordinary" Outlays is Likely 1. "Ordinary" outlays for the state will be kept to a total of 311.000.000 to 111,500,000, an increase of $1,000,000 to $1,500, 000 over the $10,000,000 biennial budget proposed by the former administration through Henry Hansen. 2. 'Extraordinary' expenses will be set at $7,000,000 of which $5,000,000 would be the state's estimated outlay in two years In matching federal relief funds. The remaining $2,000,000 will be blocked out by the state to aid counties in meeting old-age pen sions and providing for the care of unemployable persons. 3. No new taxes will be sought or favored by the Martin adminis tration for either "normal" or extraordinary" state expendi tures. 4. The "ordinary" expenditures will be readily covered by t h e state's estimated total normal revenue of $13,300,000 for the biennium. An estimated $1,800, 000 surplus of normal income over normal expenditures would be placed with $4,000,000 antici pated liquor revenue receipts for the biennium to make a total of $5,800,000 of the $7,000,000 "ex traordinary" budget. 5. The remaining $1,200,000 will be handled by an increase by that amount in the state's general fund budget deficit.
