A probable $200,000 to $3,000,000 per biennium would be re

to cope with actual demands. State Budget Director George Aiken esti

Balanced B4get Oat
Aiken told Governor Hall that
a balanced budget was out of the
question although It would be pos
sible to reduce materially most of
the budget requests received up to
this time-. Governor Hall said the
board of control, which must pass
on budgets of all state institutions,
would hold a series of conferences
with Institution superintendents
starling within a few days.
The budget director said he al
ready bad informed number oi
state department heads that theii
budget . requests were excessive
and would have to be reduced be
fore being sent to the 1949 legisla
ture. "Slashing of these budgets is the
only solution of the state's current
financial problem, Aiken said.
Vaeatlanal Sehoe!
Particular mention was made by
Aiken of the budgets of several
state activities including the Ore-
f'in vocational school at Klamath
alls. The said the original legis
lative appropriation for this insti
tution for 1S47-49 was estimated
m $695,553. There actually has
been expended $957,519.43, Aiken
continued. '
For the 1949-51 biennium the
vocational school is asking for
tl.8 18,704.40, of which a substan
tial part is state money.
Aiken said he had not deter
mined definitely how much money

He said some of the new buildings
at the state Institutions already
were completed while others

declared.- The state supreme court
recently held that -these surplus
revenues could be used only for
the reduction of property taxes.
Further relief might result,
Aiken said, from -a change in the
current laws placing capital out

limitation azsendment.
Revenues from miscellaneous
sources, such as the state corpora
tion comrais;5on, state insurance
department and state .real estate
division, were not expected to in
crease materially during the next
two years, Aiken said.
Governor Hall made it plain
that he had given Aiken full au
thority to prepare the state budget
for the next legislature and to
make any cuts In budget requests

Oil Worlrcrs Gel Good Wages
It's an oil industry policy to pay good mony in every cate
gory, from casual labor to highly skilled craftsmen, oil
workers wage rates are as high or higher than those in other
manufacturing industries. Including our offer of .124
cents an hour increase, average daily pay of oil workers
would amount to $14.39 NOT including overtime.
Oil Workers Have Job Secnrily
Along with pay that has gone up steadily, workers enjoy
security on the job that's really enviable. It's the kind of
work that people can count on and plan ahead on. And,
too, oil is a strongly competitive business with room for
advancement. Key oil men have come up through the ranks.
Our Oiler Ilore Than Heels the Cost of Living Rise
The 12 Vi cents an hour increase offered nd rejected by
OWIU-CIO is a good bit beyond the cost of living increase.
The latest government figures show the cost of living is up
73 since 1941. The wage schedule offered is actually up
83 above. 1941 rates. '
The offer amounts to an increase of a full dollar a day more.
It would bring total wage increases of $5.22 a day since the
end of the war. It's equivalent to increases accepted by the
same oil workers union in other parts of the country during
the same period.
Wage Increases Doosl Inflationary Spiral
To agree to an excessive and inflationary wage increase in
one industry exerts pressure on all other Industries. Every
one is painfully aware that increases in wages are followed
by further increases in the prices of all the things We buy.
i j j
It would be a disservice to tbe public and t our employee!
who are part of that public to contribute unnecessarily to
; J
the inflationary spiral.
Oar Offer Was Carefully Considered
We didn't just pull that 12-cent-an-hour figure out of the
air. We studied these items carefully: j
1 ' i i
1 The increase in living cost today. ! J
2 Oil industry wages compared with other industry.
3 Latest oil industry wage increases in other parts of th
' country.
4 The effect of inflationary wage increases on the public.
Check those Items against the facts we've outlined above.
.
You can see that we approached the problem reasonably and
i j .
considered all the factors involved. We think we came tq
a conclusion fair to all to th public and to ur employees.
