High state officials here Mon
day said they were hopeful that
the current spurt In business and
employment would tend -to ; in
crease state incon.e tax " returns
and. wipe out a substantial jartof
the $3,000,000 loss in collections
reported b; the state tax commis
sion for the past. fiscal year.- :
It was pointed out, based on re
ports of the state ur.mployment
commission, . that the volume .ox
general business is increasing with
employment at its peak for sever-
- years. "The more employment
the larger the income tax collec
tions," State Treasurer , Walter J.
Pearson said. ; ' r. .. .
Pearson said the board of con
trol has discussed briefly, a long-
term buUding program for the
state under which the ' legislature
would be. asked to appropriate
definite amount of money i every
two years, it was Pearson's, sug
gestion that the building program
cover at least 20 years and that the
biennial appropriation range from
82,000,000 to $4,000,000 with the
latter . amount pref err ible.
Such a program war outlined by
former Governor Charles A. fapra
gue but was abandoned because of
Worh". Warn.'
With aw arding of the contract
for construction of a new tuber
culosis ward at the Oregon state
hosnital here the current r state
building fund wc 'd be virtually
exhausted. The proposed long'
term building program to be pre
sented to the legislature would in
elude both state institution and
higher educational system con
struction. .
Pearson said the board probably
would arrive at some definite con
clusion prior to completion of the
state budget , which is bow being
compiled by the state budget divi
sion. ' v.. 'V
