f Setup, State Saves-
By SHELDON F. SACKETT
Old Man Oregd'nfwas scratching
his heaKyesterday and using his
tub lead pencil to see how the
rery laf.e and not lamented 38th
legislative assembly had left him
on those always touchy subjects
of taxes, expenses and deficits.
Here are the conclusions to be
reached by the old fellow who
pays the bills, no matter what the
session may hare done:
- -1. Total appropriations, includ
ing $(,000,000 for relief and the
mlllage taxes for higher education
and the world war veterans' com
mission, ran to $17,787,599.
2. A fairly optimistic although
not improbable estimate of state
Income to he applied against that
. outlay in 1935 and 1936, is $16,
718,369. 1
3. The resulting addition to the
state deficit will be 81,069,250;
this sum added to the $1,304,290
deficit December 11, 1934, will
give the state a total red Ink bal
ance of $2,373,520 at the close of
the blennium.
4. While no new taxes aside
from ones on beer and wines were
approved by; the legislature, the
full amount of real property tax
permitted by law must be levied
by the state in 1936; this sum
will be $3,308,373 in contrast to
$2,6(7,996 levied for 1935, a gain
of $640,000.;
Lees Distressing
On Closer Scrutiny
That is thei picture, without any
frills or explanations. It looks less
distressing with Qualifying state
ments. First, the total allowable ex
penditures includes $1,000,000.
for old-age pensiattsXhla vnoaal
has been appropriated from the
. general fund butjseveral strings
are tied to the outlay.
It must be matched by the
counties, which will be done; the
counties are already expending
tome $700,000 a year for pen
sions. Next the aggregate sum
raised by the state plus a like
amount from the counties, must
be met by the federal govern
ment. Uncle Sam's "social secur
ity" program is not law. When
that friendly uncle, who has been
handing great chunks of money
to the states without expecting a
thank you, does get around to
old-age pensions he may not con
sider it is ia the least necessary
to match dollai with the 48
states. In that event the $1,000,
00 set aside by Oregon will be
blocked and the $1,000,000 can
revert to unxpended balances In
the secretary of state's office.
Another ray of hope is this:
Included in the estimate of in
come is $2,250,000 which the
state liquor commission estimates
"will be its net income from March
1, 1935, to December 1, 1936.
This, figure I is very conservative
In Tiew of the commission's earn
ings the last; six months of 1934.
These earnings plus the . higher
tax on beer might readily net
the commission $2,750,000 for the
next 22 months. In such an event
an additional $500,000 would be
clipped from the estimated defi
cit. Martin May Chop
Off More Expenditures
Governor Martin has shown his
willingness to do his bit in clip
ping the outlays made by the leg
islature; he has already chopped
off $45,000 by his veto of the
Jefferson and Tillamook county
tax refunds. This is a small item
in the $17,787,599 in outlays pro-
Tided for but it points the drift
of the wind. The governor may be
able to clip off several hundred
thousand dollars more by an eco
nomical administration of allowed
'appropriations for 1935 and 1936.
These savings, of course, would
be available as additional income
, to balance the budget.
Another cheering thought for
Old Man Oregon as he contem
plates the next two years and the
state of his exchequer is this: the
deficit for 1935-1936 is an "extra
ordinary" not an "ordinary" defi
cit; the normal expenses of the
' state will be fully covered by
moneys coming to the general
fund. The sag will show in the
excess expenditure of $4,000,000
in relief funds over the projected
Income of $2,250,000 from liquor
revenues. This overdraft will not
he on the general fund of the
state; it wili.coma from the use
of the state's credit In the sale of
. anticipation ., certificates , against
future Income from liquor. In
stead, of the state's being request
ed to issue interest bearing, gen-
' eral fond warrants as it was when
the Meier deficit climbed to $4."
500,000,- its ' excess expenditures
over income will be covered with
a : few choicely printed slips of
t obligation onfjtate liquor Income,
issued, in denominations of not

Germany's Fuehrer

Cited as Reasons

(Copyright, 1935, by Aitoeiated Press)
BERLIN, March 16. The Ger
man government, declaring Ger
many no longer obligated under
the Versailles treaty, today an
nounced approximate quadrupling
of its regular army.
(Under the Versailles treaty,
signed at the conclusion of the
World war, Germany's armaments
are sharply restricted and her
standing army limited to 100,000
men).
' Simultaneously Chancellor
Adolf Hitler, lashing out bitterly
at rearmament over Europe, dis
closed that the cabinet, in decree
ing compulsory military service
throughout the reich, acted in di
rect answer to the French move
increasing the term of army con
script service to two years.
The cabinet's decree provided
that Germany's future peace time
army shall consist of 12 army
corps of three divisions each, or
36 divisions in all. It will num
ber, according to semi-official es
timates, from 325.000 to 480,000.
(A dispatch from London said
Hitler bluntly told Sir Eric
Phipps, the British ambassador,
that the German army will num
ber 600,000 men).
Peaceful Intentions
Of Nation Reiterated
The fuehrer, reiterating Ger
many's peaceful intentions said
her national safety demanded an
increasing army.
He cited rearmament through
Europe, assailed , violation of the
Versailles pact on ' the part of
other powers and said "under
these conditions Germany had to
take the necessary measures to
put an end to her defenselese
ness." Rushing back to Germany from
Berchtesgaden to shepherd the
"big army" decree through the
cabinet's secret early morning
meeting, the chancellor Issued an
Impassioned appeal to the German
people, saying Germany is com
pelled to take her military fate in
her own hands.

arms and submitted to humlliat

TIMBER SUES TO
BE FEW, BELIEVED
i
Cronemiller Holds County
Courts Over - Fearful;
Offers are Low
County courts of the state are
over-fearful of the bad results of
federal purchases of forest lands
in Oregon, In the opinion of Lynn
Cronemiller, state forester.
"The majority of the purchases
of the federal government have
been in eastern states and the
sums paid for the lands have been
a pittance of the amount a west
ern timber landowner would ask
for his holdings," Cronemiller ex
plained yesterday.
"To my knowledge the most
money the government has ever
paid for timber land' has been
$6.25 an acre. Yon can readily
see that this would be only a frac
tion of the money asked for tim
ber in the west. Taking 35,000
to 40,000 feet of timber as a nor
mal stand per acre, at a price of
$1 a thousand board feet the sum
required by private holders would
far exceed the government's rate
to date."
Cronemiller explained that a
maximum of $7.50 an acre had
been set on timber lands for sub
sistence homsteads in the Siuslaw
country but he added that he did
not think this maximum applied
to federal purchases under the
Weeks act.
Cronemiller said that federal
records for recent years showed
some lands sold as low as $1.83
an acre. Included In such sales
were cutover lands, Cronemiller
said. Sale of these in Oregon by
the private holders to the federal
government would not be harm
ful to the county courts, he stated.
When and if purchases of tim
ber lands are made in Oregon they
will be handled through the na
tional forest reservation commis
sion, Cronemiller said. These
purchases will not be hurried, in
Cronemiller's opinion. California
authorized federal purchases in
1934, he said, and thus tar the
only negotiations have been for
a tract of Redwood timber which
is sought by the government as
a park.
