Income Tax Surplus Release
Poses Legislative Problem
r The state supreme court decision Friday, releasing surplus In
come tax funds for state expenditures, has created a . problem for
the next legislature, political observers pointed out.
The 1949 session is virtually sure to be besieged by schools,
state departments, counties' and cities, demanding, some of the money.
It was observed. It
Among the foremost is the state
system of higher education. Gov.
John H. Hall recently said at least
some of the surplus should be used
for colleges. The system wants
up to $14,000,000 for its bunding
program.
Others who want a share of the
estimated $50,000,000 surplus in
clude the state welfare commission
running on an inadequate
budget and state institutions
needing new buildings.
Others, along with the dissent
ing Justices who failed to concur
in the majority opinion Friday,
have, made warnings against a
spending spree.
Douglas Vic Kay, republican
candidate for governor, said it
is "hard-earned tax money that
belongs to the taxpayers, collected
to meet essential state services
and not eo provide a spending
spree." j,
Lew Wallace, democratic can-
didate for governor, also exprea
, aed go-east sentiments.
State Treasurer Leslie's!. Scott
has proposed the legislature could
put half the extra cash in reserve
for harder times.
Friday's supreme court opinion
involved the state income tax
law which waa passed in 1929.

Sugar Beet
Seed Crop
To Be Good
By LUlla L. Madsea
farm Editor, Th Statesman
Adverse weather conditions early
this season have not done as much
damage to the sugar beet seed
crop in the Willamette valley as
first feared, is the opinion of Sam
Campbell of the West Coast Beet
Seed company with headquarters
at 690 Ferry street, Salem.
Seed cutting will begin In the
valley in from two to three weeks,
Mr. Campbell said, and a better
than normal crop should be har
vested from the 940 acres now
growing in the valley. An average
production Is around 2,900 pounds
of clean seed per acre. Some
growers for the West Coast con
cern have harvested as much as
3,400 pounds per acre In a very
good year.
In 1947, a total of 1.300,000
pounds were harvested for the
concern. The figure is expected to
reach two million this season.
All of the seed Is growing on
irrigated ground and is contracted
at 18 cents to the grower. The
1947 price was 14 cents. The seed
is cleaned at Hopmere where the
company hashe special beet seed
cleaning equipment required. 0
A new self-propeUed cutting
machine is being tested out this
week. This, designed largely by
Mr. Campbell, differs from the
conventional mower by wmdrow
ing through the center rather than
the usual side-deUvery mower.
The principle of the machine is
somewhat similar to that of the
lumber carriers so common in the
Willamette valley.
The seed company also owns
three new self-propelled combines
for threshing the seed. These were
used for the first time last har
vest and proved very successful

Edler Is seed statistician for the
bureau of agricultural economics.
He has prepared the department

the past 31 years and made a simi

once again the soil Is found full
of humus. This Is well illustrated
on the Chris Doooleb farm a
couple of miles out on the Salem
side of Molalla. Last fall Chris
plowed an old stand of chewings
fescue, somewhat mixed with or
chard grass. .Resulting stands of
oats oa the one portion ana uixw
crimson clover on the other are
the best. Chris says, that he ever
saw on this farm.
rrhris also has one of the best
plantings of big trefoil, lotus ma
jor, in the valley. He seeded it
in April, 1947, with white oats.
The oats were drilled in. ine
field was then rolled with a cor
rugated roller and the trefoil was
broadcast and covered with a
second rolling. This has made a
very good perennial hay crop,
says Chris.
o
Elmer Diet and family have
bought a farm near Molalla and
are raising Jerseys. Just how
Clackamas county gets all of
those new Jersey breeders is a
wonder to some of her neighbor
ing counties. However, there may
be discussion (informal, of
course) on this at the annual
picnic of the Oregon Jersey Cat
