Governor Presents Plan for Balanced Budget
In Biennial Message to 44th Legislature at
Initial Joint Session; Vet Aid Emphasized
Proposals to balance the state's
budget, liberalize industrial acci
dent and workmen's compensation
benefits, and to start a 10-year
forest improvement program
highlighted the biennial address
of Gov. Earl Snell at the 44th
legislative assembly Monday af
ternoon. He proposed no new
taxes or specific labor legislation.
The governor, inaugurated for
his second term, declared Ore
gon's financial position "excel
lent" and its economic future "ex
ceedingly bright." To balance the
$41,000,000 budget, be asked for
an amendment to provide that
corporate excise taxes go into the
general fund, and said sufficient
funds were available for the plan.
Governor Snell made no direct
recommendation for additional
taxes, but told the assembly he
was not in agreement with all the
proposals and comments of the
interim tax committee, albeit he
paid high tribute to its effort. He
asked, however, that the legisla
tors consider the need of revenue
for "obvious future require
ments," and that any major tax
proposal which evolved be re
ferred to the people at a special
election called solely for that pur
pose. Would Bay Rest of Barn
The suggested forest program
would start, under the governor's
plan, with the acquisition of the
remaining 135.000 of the 300.000
acre Tillamook burn. The stats
already owns 165,000. The gov
ernor said estimated cost was
$6,000,000, for purchase and reha
bilitation, and he asked a 20-cent-per-thousand
stumpage tax fee on
all timber cut in the state to "fi

estimated to raise $1,200,000 a

bonds were declared to total less
than $10,000,000. with "good off
setting assets."
The governor said a proposed
tax on aviation gasoline would not
bring in revenue sufficient to
justify it, but urged that airport
development be encouraged.
Regarding labor, the governor
referred to "jurisdictional dis
