PAGE TWENTY-ONE State Lowers Death Unsolved Its Total Tax Officials Fearful About . Deficit Increase Due to Pension Demand The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Sunday Morning, December 1, 1935 The total state tax Iery for 1936, including the elementary school levy, Is $2,613,000, as com pared with $2,667,996.78 lor this ' year, the state tax commission an nounced Saturday. The 1936 tax within the six per cent limitation aggregates 9SS4.640.09 and $1,729,301.49 outside of the six per cent limi tation. The, anticipated deficit for next year was estimated- at $1,147, 699.27. This figure conformed substantially to the amount of the deficit determined by the state treasurer in the plan for refin ancing the cost of the new state capitol. ; Officials said the deficit was due principally to emergency ap propriations of 2,000,008 from the general fund by the last legis lature for old age pensions and $1,375,000 for capitol construc tion operations. While the new tax levy con tains appropriations for emergen cy old age pensions and relief Along with generally increased al lowances for state expenses, it in cludes but one installment of $452,334 for capitol building pur poses. V . Iefioit Worries Some officials expressed appre- Sension oyer the increase in the eficit and said it might go even ljigher by additional demands on - the general fund for permanent old age pensions and emergency relief. More optimistic officials declar ed that If further Inroads on the general fund could be avoided, the state, by strictest economy, might absorb the present appro priation for the capkol spread over three years, and still keep the state deficit at a roana-jeable figure. X It was pointed out that con trary to the prevailing impression monies, both state and county, for old age pensions and indigent re lief (unemployables) are" being rapidly depleted and will not last through the remainder of the biennium. The $2,000,000 addi tional appropriated by the legis lature from liquor reveffbes has . been Overdrawn almost a year in advance, while the $1,000,000 ap propriated by the regular session tor Indigent relief (unemploy able.) is already virtually ex hausted. Only Million Left . Tho $1,000,000 appropriated by tlie regular session and ear marked for cooperation with the federal government for payment of old age pensions is all that is left with which to meet the emer gency. Officials said that with the re lief funds Hearing depletion anf a minimum of $4,000,000 requir-i. ed for state cooperation witb theJ federal government under the terms ot the old age pension act, the state is not only faced with an increasing deficit but i3 for bidden, under the six per cent 11m- itation, from increasing the pro perty tax to meet the oad. While the outlook for the de ficit is not encouraging the tax levy does reveal a brighter pic ture for the property taxpayer. The tax, within the six per cent limitation, is slightly lower than last year, after absorbing the emergency appropriation for old age pensions, capitol construction and other items. Many Extra Items In addition to the ordinary ap propriations of the last regular legislative session, the tax levy 4 includes $1,000,000 earmarked for old age pensions, $1,000,000 for indigent relief (unemploy ables) and approximately $500. 00 for the cost of new Buildings at various state Institutions. These were in excels of the regular bud get. The tax levy outside the six per cent limitation includes $1, 164,330.23 for higher education- v ; f Richard Averj Discovery of the battered body of Richard Avery, 16, of Winthrop, Mass., who had apparently been stabbed to death and buried un der a pile of driftwood near Ot tumwa, la., last February while on his way to visit his sister at Iowa State college, added another mystery murder to midwest police records. al millage, S102.935.44 for Inter est and principal on Oregon irri gation district bonds and $462, 035.81 for the sinking fund for bond principal and Interest of the World war veterans' state aid commission.
