Holman. here today replied briefly to a statement Friday credited to Gov ernor ChaTles H. ' Martin, in which the governor stated, "Per sons familiar with the state's fin anciai condition know that we have a deficit of more than a mil lion dollars, with an added prop erty delinquency of in excess of IH.OOO.OOO." "Certainly we have r book de ficit of over a million dollars," Treasurer Holman said, "but we have 111,500,000 actually in the banks, and had more than $14, 000.000 a short time ago. True, that money is all obligated for certain purposes, to be used ill tlmately for the purpose for which it is Intended. "It Is my notion that these funds should not be frozen, but should be liquid, as private funds are, and so administered that they may be made available for pres ent uses just so long as they arc on hand when needed, for the pur poses for which they are obli gated." Majority Opposes Inflation Scheme WASHINGTON. Feb. f. -(iP)- President Roosevelt and his fiscal advisors today canvassed the background for an administration tax bill at a closed-door confer ence which coincided with the re ported collapse of one wing of the congressional Inflation, drive.

Both Boland and Speaker Byrns asserted the measure would be "slaughtered" If it came to vote. A late afternoon White House conference, attended by Secretary Aiorgentnau and Daniel Bell, the acting budget director. . revived previous reports that the Roose velt tax plan might be sent to the capitol neat week.

Mortgage Loans on Modern Homes Lowest Rates Hawkins & Roberts T Inc. Budget PoUcy Has Limelight Wharton in Position to Direct Finances in Adequate Style (Continued from Page 1) cold storage until November and permit the 1935 regular session act to be in force. This act will probably satisfy Washington's initial requirements for matching Oregon's old-age pension funds. The age limit is TO instead of 5 aa provided in the referended act but the federal act permits, states to wait until 1941 before pensions are begun at 85. The 1935 act has a requirement that makes residence in a county for a year a prerequisite to a pen sion; the federal act makes only state, residence a requirement: nnder the 1935 regular session act the county and the state took a claim on any property which the pensioner possessed; the federal government wants to share in any claims on real estate the pensioner owns since it -juts up halt time pension money. Uncle Probably WH1 Wink at Discrepancies With 1936 an election year the presumption is that Uncle Sam will wink at these discrepancies and furnish Oregon 50 percent of the money put out for pensions. leaving the 1937 legislature the chore of revising the state's pen sion law to suit Uncle Sam's re quirements. So the skies are clearing for old-age pension applicants In the state. Old .Man Oregon -has an un touched million dollars for pen sions appropriated in March. 1935 and not used heretofore because the late Senator Huey Long nsset the pension appropriation in the federal senate. And the 36 conn ties hare approximately $1,000,- 000 set up for pensions in 1936. With state and county putting 'up an aggregate of $2,000,000, and with Uncle Sam furnishing an equal amount, pensions will be larger if the state relief commit tee sees fit to grant more liberal payments. . The news story that the state treasury had f 11.500,000 cash on hand Just before the sales tax vote was taken, was not designed to convince citizens that Old Man Oregon's Impoverishment was so acute another special levy was needed. Governor Martin, sensing the political lnad visibility of pa rading the treasury cash position to citizens, countered last week with a statement that the funds in the treasury are all pledged and that the state in reality has a deficit. Both the governor and the state treasurer are right the state has a deficit and it also has a large amount of cash on hand. The def icit never troubles Oregon when it is only $2,000,000 or less for it is a deficit based on the pay ment in full of all appropriations after collection in full of all esti mated taxes. Actually there Is a lag between the time taxes come to the state and the time the ap propriations are met. Moreover, the state has nearly a score of funds apart from the general fund In which moneys pile up. The veterans' commission Is in funds now with Its collectioni go ing higher and higher and with a carryover of moneys in Its treas ury from its refunding issue of two years ago. The state highway commission, always prudent fi nancially, keeps several million dollars on hand to assure prompt payment of its contractors and to meet its bond maturities prompt ly. The commission, with Its big construction program, must ad vance considerable money for en gineering work before it secures a return from Uncle Sam. The state treasurer has a great advantage over' any county treasurer; he is paid his real property taxes in full, when due, and must not cut his financial cloth according to the amount of taxes actually paid In to the sheriff by the property owner. 2nd add budget 9 Balance Healthy; Source of Pride The state's bank balance is healthy and a source of real pride. Where other commonwealths have issued bonds to handle relief; where treasuries have resorted to short-term financing for current bills; Oregon has gone ita con servative way, paid off the short term warrants it issued for the general fund, Incurred no bond ed debt for relief; and aside from $265,000 in two per cent deben tures on liquor income (which is running $1,800,000 a year) the state is financially strong. Us veterans' bonds are being steadily amortized and itg highway obli gations will shortly be down to $20,000,000. And Oregon has spent directly out of state funds for relief since the depression began consists of the $1,000,900 highway bond Is sue, a $1,000,000 appropriation by the 1935 legislature and ap- THE SPA Exclusive Showing JVett?

Of the direct' appropriation $295,000 remained last week, enough to run the state for several months while $2,900. 000 remains In the liquor reven ues appropriation. This will be more than enough to carry the state until the 1937 session meets; it the commission cannot make cash enough to ta'xe np drafts from the relief commission, the treasurer can issue more of the shori-term debentures and bay them from surplus fund- in his hands.

Milk Control Law Is Upheld Decision Comes in Suit of Four Producers; Fault Overcome . (Continued from page 1) A digest of Judge Lusk's opin ion is as follows: . "On constitutional questions the courts go far afield in search of facts, consulting government bulletins and reports, authorita tive .writings on social and econ omic uubjects. and many other sources of information generally regarded as trustworthy. Here the evidence was supplied by testi mony given at the trlaL That ev idence in essential particulars is uncontradicted, and abundant! shows evils in an unregulated milk market in this state which the legislature might deem neces sary to correct." "The milk industry is a basic one, intimately related to public health, and is peculiarly sensitive to such evils as flow from unre stricted competition. Being highly periahable, milk which is market ed for human consumption, other wise known as fluid milk, must be produced and in the hands of the consumer all in the space of a few hours. That not sold for hu man consumption goes for manu facturing purposes, and brings a lower price than fluid milk. It is known as surplus. The demand for fluid milk fluctuatea from day to day and from season to season, and the dairyman, in his endea vor always to have a sufficient supply of fluid milk, not infre quently finds himself with a sur plus on his hands, which must be sold at a price materially less than that which the same milk, produ ced under precisely the same con ditions, commands when sold for human consumption. Out of the creation of this surplus arise the same destructive competition and some of the same unfair trade practices disclosed by the legisla tive investigation in New York. with resulting demoralization of prices, injury to producers and dealers, and, since milk is an es sential food, threat of injury to the public. That the law was beneficial to the industry of the state and that the orders of the board and the establishment of minimum prices tor producers worked out for the benefit of all was observed by Judge Lusk in his comparison of this suit to those recorded in oth er states upon a similar legal question. "The mutual protection consists in a stabilized market brought about by the minimum price and "IN ONE WEEK, VAN-TAGE STOPPED TEN YEARS PAIN" STATES FOREST RANGER if My Awful Stomach Cas and Kidney Pains Are Cone, Thanks to Van Tage," Says Mr. Thorpe 10 Years of Other Me dicines? and Treatments Had Failed to Help Him.
