of "measurement" would be a "cer
tifiention of available energy pro
ducod."
Instead of trying to valuo goods in
terms of dollars of variable purchns
Ing power, Technocracy would mca
sure the energy produced - so to
speak, would im-amire tiio Incomo in-
stend of Uie cnpunl in calories, ergs,
foot-pounds, British Thermal Units,
horsepower or with some of the
other terms for energy measurement
which are theoretically exact and
which would ho used up.
This, Technocracy holds, would pre
vent debt nnd huge accumulations of
wealth. The individual would receive
n proportionate share of the energy
produced. Ho would spend It In cer
tain ways for tho thiiiftS he dosired.
The energy unit would not he a mea
sure of desire ns is the dollar, but
n measurement of what actually wns
nvnilnhle and might bo economically
given to the people. All of this Im
plies cent ml distribution of Income
and a more rigid control of the di
vision of goods.
Economists are critical of such pro
posals. George Boule, economist nnd
associate editor of the New He public,
says If the nation could have such
control as this, present old-fashioned
money would do quite well.
As for Scot fa statement that en
ergy units would furnish exact mea
surements, nn economist for n Wall
Htreet fiuancinl houso points out that
the amount of energy produced from
coal oil and waterpower Is variable
nnd that the measurements of It are
nlso variable. Unless Technocracy
proposes nhsoluto control of the en
tire economic system, this economist
nays, the more efficient user of fuel
would receive more income and would
accumulate things, again unions the
state prevented such accumulation.
Booties 'Energy Money'?
Another economist holds nioro or
less facetiously that "energy money"
could be quite easily bootlegged. The
bills might be full of "illicit stills"
for the manufacture of energy which
would be wired secretly to towns
nnd cities.
It might be transported ncross nn
tlonnl lines, If such lines were al
lowed tn n technologically controlled
system. And what would happen If
transmission of power were made
possible by rndlo, n possibility now
receiving considerable study? These
would be, the economist snid, factors
tending to make energy extremely un
stable. Many economists have proposed a
commodity dollar to allevinte the'
generally admitted evils of the pren- j
ent variable dollnr. Such a dollar
would be allocnted purchasing power :
flccitriting to commodity Index nnd
would vary ns the supplies of the
various commodities varied.
Thus, money would always have
approximately the sumo purchnslug
power ami ilcbts would not vnry in
their burdcuHomcnc,
Tomorrow Machines and Debti.

Text of the Meier special message
follows In full:
Members of the state senate and
the bouse of representatives:
Section 2 of article IX of the state
constitution rendu:
"The legislative assembly shall
provide for railing revenue suf
ficient to defray the expenses of
the state for each flsoal year, and
also a sufficient sum to pay the
Interest on the state debt, If
there be any,"
Section 0 of the same article reads
"whenever the expenses of any
fiscal year shall exceed the In
come, the legislative assembly
shall provide for levying a tax
for the ensuing fiscal year, suf
ficient with other sources of In
come, to pay the deficiency, as
well as the estimated expense of
the ensuing fiscal year."
I have convened yuu in extrnordin
nry session in accordance with these
constitutional provisions which confer
on tho legislnlure the exclusive power
or mining revenue:
First, to afford you nn opportunity
of providing revenue to replace the
tax on real property for state pur
poses, action on which must be taken
at this special session If relief is to
be forthcoming for the- present year.
Second, to nfford you an opportun
ity of providing Immediate relief for
Oregon's unfortunate victims of the
world-wide economic depression the
unemployed and destitute.
Let us proceed to the considerA
tlon of theso subjects in the order
named.
To begin with It may be well to
point out thnt tho nbolltion of the
property tnx for state purposes has
been an issue before the legislature
and electorate for a decade.
This issue was precipitated tn the
IUJ.j legislative session- when Oover
nor Pierce recommended in his innug
ural message the enactment of i
graduated income tax, the revenue to
lo derived therefrom to be used ns
far as possible to replace the tax on
renl property.
'I he legittUiture enacted the mees
lire nnd the electorate approved It
at a special election held iu the same
year.
) Pierce Effort Recounted
Thereupon, Governor Pierce mused
the property tnx lovy within the six
per cent tnx ronstitutionnl amend
ment to be reduced in December,
1023, from $3.3T.n,32l to f 1,877.090.
estimating that the difference would
be nbyorbed by revenue to be obtained
from the Income) tax.
Within a year, however, the in
com ft tnx law wns repealed by the
electorate, leaving the state with In
come tnx delinquencies approximating
;i,(HH,0H),
Regardless of the repeal of the law,
Governor I'ierce again in December,
11124, reduced the property tnx levy
to $1,023,048. This second reduction
resulted in the loss of the originnl
tax base of $;W0,820 under tho six
per cent amendment, nnd tho Innbil
Ity of tho state to restore the former
base resulted in the crention of a dc
flciency Jn our stnto treasury.
Ihis deficiency was tho beginning
of the state deficit concerning which
there Is now so much discussion.
I wish to remnrk here thnt this re'
cltnl should not be construed ns I
criticism of Governor Pierce's com
mendable effort to eliminate the prop
crty tnx for state purposes.
Dcspito the depleted condition of
the treasury, succeeding legislatures
continued to appropriate, funds in ex
cess of the revenue nvniluhlo under
the Impnired tnx hnse, thereby stead
ily Increasing the deficit.
Culling attention to this alarming
situation and the necessity of retir
ing the increasing deficit In order to
preserve the credit of the state, the
lute Governor Patterson In bis mes-
go to the 1021) legislature, in part,
said:
You are nwnro that at the Inst
session of the legislature appropria
tions were niacin aggregating npproxi
mutely $4,000,000 in exrcs of the
nvniluble state revenues for the bien-nium.
'Of these appropriations 1 vetoed
hills providing for SUOO.OO leaving n
def'rit of more than $2,000,000, which
I hoped might bo taken enre of by
the Income tax measuro punned by
tho legislature nnd referred to the
electorate.
'The income tnx measure wns de
fenteil nnd as n result tho revenues of
tho general fund will be insufficient
by approximately $2,00o,0tH to meet
the obligations thereon fr the Men
nium ending December HI, 102S."
Started $3,000,000 In Hole
When 1 assumed the governorship
In ll'.'U, the deficiency in the treasury ,
hsd increased to npproximntely !!,- !
OOO.tKHt.
With u view of keeping this Inher
ited deficit to the lowest possible level
nnd ViHh the further view of so re
ducing state expenditures thnt the
property tax for stnte purposes might
be eventually nUt Halted in its en
tirety, I inaugurated a rigid retrench
ment progrttm In stnte nffriira begin
ning with the 1W1 lenislntivn session.
n my recommendntinn thnt legia
1st ore repented the mills gc tnx on
renl property fr market roads,
amounting to $2,20,10 biennially.
On the adjournment of tho session
I vetoed appropriations totaling $020,
02ft.
Included In these vetoed appropria
tion! wns $IW0,iM0 of the 91,1st, m
npproprinted for the state's higher
Institutions of learning.
Htmnltnneously with the veto of this
half million dollnra I nlo vetor-d the
emergency clause of this npprnprin
tion bill, thereby paving the way for
the successful Invokement of the ref
erendum against the bulunce, amount
ing to 181,173.
After the adjournment of the ses
sion 1 nlso instituted drastic economy
measures In state affairs resulting in
Havings of approximately $1,000,000
out of appropriations authorized for
the biennium.
At my request there was also fli nil
nated from the 1032 and 1033 tax
levies the millago property tax for
tho Warm War Veterans' Commis
sion amounting to more than $1,000,
000.
Had not these economies been ef
fected under my administration more
than $4,000,000 in additional taxes
would have been Imposed on the
property owners of Oregon during the
last biennium.
Hnd not these economies been ef-
fected, the state deficit would have
been substantially Increased.
To give still further relief to the
distressed taxpayers tho filiate Tax
Commission omitted from tho 1032
levy for stnte purposes the entire tux
on property amounting to $ IfSOO.OOO.
The commission then estimated thnt
with the economies nnd curtailment
introduced In stno nffnirs during my
administration sufficient revenue
would be available from tho excise
and intangibles taxes and from the in
come tax and other receipts to de
fray the cost of the stnte govern
ment nnd the institutions of higher
learning.
.Hut, due to the economic depres
sion, there was a shrinkage bcyoud
all expectations in revenue from these
sources, a shrinkage of approxi
mately $2,000,000, nnd a further
heavy shrinkage will be unavoidable
during the present year.
Emergency Becomes Acute
When it appeared likely Inst sum
mcr that the ehrinknge in revenue
would be so great thnt the property
tax would have to bo restored, unless
additions Income could be mode avail
able, our State Tax Commission
joined hands with the Oregon Tax
payers Equalization and Conservation
League in the initiation of a measure
revising our present Income tnx s
as to provide moro revenue.
This measure, nnd two other mens
ures to control local tax levies and
bond issues, were rejected by the
peoplo at the recent general election.
In nn effort to compensate for dim
inishing revenue, nothing hns leen
left undone, in my opinion, to effect
reduction In stnte expenditures.
In the stnte budget submitted tn
you the approved Appropriations nre
$8,00.r,213 less than the npprnprin
tions recommended to the lost legis
lature by my predecessor, and $-V
888.011 less thnn the authorized np
proprintions for the last biennium.
If this budget is adopted by the
legislature and no greater levy is
made thnn Is now mandatory under
our constitution, the stnte deficit, can
bo reduced by the end of the bien
nium to approximately $1,000,000.
Included in tho levy for state pur
poses for tho present year is a tux
on property amounting to $2,075,000,
which Is approximately $1,1125,000, less
thnn the property tax levy for the
yenr juai.
The remainder of the levy amount
ing to $l,riO0,0tM), represents revouue
which it is estimated will be derived
from the excise intangibles and in
come taxes.
In view of the tremendous shrink
age In revenue and the existing defi
cit, the State Tax Commission hnd
no alternative, under the constitution.
but to restore a part of tho property
tax levy for 1033. Unless additional
revenue Is provided from some other
source tho commission will have no
alternative hut to continue the levy
on real property In 1034.
Whether this restored property tax
shnll renin in and be continued here
after is the question you have been
convened to determine.
Tho time has come, In my judg
ment, when your honorable body
should devise ways and means for
abolishing this tax in its entirety for
ever.
Property Relief Urgent
Since the foundation of our com
monwealth, real property has borne
the linn's shnre of our tnx burden, not
only for stnte purposes but for local
purposes - counties, municipalities,
and other political subdivisions.
In view of the economic depres
sion, real property. In my opinion.
cannot longer carry this load wil bout
confiscation nnd bankruptcy confis
cation for property and bankruptcy
for our counties, municipalities, and
other political subdivisions.
As Governor, I hove none every
thing within my power to solve the
financial problem with which we nre
confronted; in fact, In instances, linrc
gone beyond the strict letter of my
legal prerogatives.
Let me sav here that a solution
of your problem does not He, ns some
of you may feel, In further retrench
ment. If you were to nbidish the
whole administrative end of the state
government and close the doors of
all Its departments a property tnx
lcvy would still be mandatory under
our stnte constitution so long n the
present stnte deficit remains, unless,
of course, other sources of rvenu
nre made avnilnble to supplant n
property tnx.
What this source of revenue shall
he is for you. the duly elected rep.
resentatives of the people and the
sole authorised revenue-raising ssen
cy of the state, to determine.
Favors Sales Tax
Naturally, In matters perinminc to
taxation, the counsel and ndtlce of
our Mntc lax I omtniMion is invsln i
able.
Accordingly, t have bad the com
minion make n comprehensive survey
of every available source of rceitue.
including gift, inheritance, tobacco,
income, and sules taxes, and the data
assembled are now ready for jour
consideration. ,
I have been advised by the
commission which has carefully
considered the whole problem
that, In Its opinion, a general
sales tax, patterned after the
tales tax adopted by Mississippi
In 1932 to solve Hs financial and
tax difficulties, offers the only
means of providing sufficient rev
enue to permit tho cancellation
of tho state levy on property.
My study of the subject has
also led mo to tho conclusion
that a general sales tax Is un
avoidable, and I urge you to give
it your earnest and serious con
aideratlon, However, I am not
unalterably oommltted to any
speclfio remedy, but am willing
to give my support to any con
structive and practical tax plan
this legislature may formulate to
replace and abolish from our
state tax system the present an
tiquated, burdensome and Inequit
able tax on real property.
As already indicated, the second
subject you have been convened to
consider is relief for the unemployed
and destitute.
Problem of Relief
A pnrt of the revenue raised by
nny mensurn enncted at this session
should be allocated to unemployment
relief. According to data assembled
by the State Unemployment Relief
Committee there are now approxi
mately 67,078 unemployed in the
stnte, many of these heads of fam
Hies in destitute circumstances.
The stato has received a total of
$23,538 In loans from the Recon
struction Finance Corporation for re
lief, and an npplication for $725,000
for Multnomah county has been sub
mitted, but no further relief funds
wilt be forthcoming from the federal
government until the state of Oregon
has exhausted its resources.
The problem of affording relief to
those unfortunate men, women and
children is ns much a duty of the
Htute as of the federal government.
Although we may not be able
to provide employment, we should
at least make provision for relief
so that there will be no avoid
able want or suffering In our
state.
In my opinion, not less than
$500,000 should be made avail
able for relief purposes during
your special session.
In conclusion, let me earnestly ap
pend to those who may have come
here with political prejudices to rise
above them.
In this hour of our people's dis
tress nnd need wo should lay aside all
petty grievances, personal animosities
and blind partisanship.
Let us in these deliberations de
vote ourselves unselfishly and whole
heartedly to the best interests of
Oregon nnd her people. In the words
of Woodrow Wilson, "Let politics
stand adjourned,' during our deliber
ations on the grave problems before
s.
I thnnk you.

The tiieory of technological unem
ployment Is substantially correct, Mr.
Krb snid, nddiug that there was noth
ing particularly new about that idea
sinco the world had realized it since
the earliest indtistrinl revolutions in
England. To make the units of energy
substitutes for money as the basis of
value would eventually place them in
the same position as money, and con
