We lack a copy of the constitution of the League of Oregon
: cities but if there is anything in it that juntfie.1 the effort
now being made by its officers to whittle away the structure
of the local budget law we think the constitution should be
amended to remove that justification or the league disbanded.
. The budget law has been on the statute books for over 20
years. Its purpose is to bring tax payer participation into the
business of budget making and to provide a means by which
the tax paying public can be informed regarding the expendi
tures that are to be made possible by taxation. That means
has been the required publication of the estimates that the
budget makers have agreed upon. When the law was new
and before it had been interpreted the estimates were pre
sented in a detail since decided to be unnecessary. Two years
' ago an attempt was made by the legislature to clarify the
law but when the Yamhill county court sought, under the
amended statute, to present only a meagre set of figures as its
. budget estimates the supreme court rebuked it and, in ettect,
- left the law as originally enacted.
Still desiring clarification the state association of finance
ofncei-K, cooperating with a committee from the Oregon news
paper publishers association, has worked for the past 18
- months in the preparation of a new budget measure and it
was introduced by Representative Marsh, the speaker, on
y February 2 as house bill No. 335. This measure clears up
; the difficulties that 20 years of experience with the old have
' developed. It meets the objections to the TJ43 amendment
raised by the supreme court decision.
And now comes the League of Oregon cities with a pro
posal (senate bill No. 195) that would get around the decision
and provide for the publication of estimates such as those for
which the Yamhill court drew the rebuke. The league officers
will urge that their measure provides that the estimates and
original estimate sheets shall be on fife and open to public
inspection, thus providing all needed opportunity for inter
ested tax payers to get details, and they will assert that news
papers, such as this, that support hosue bill 3B5 and oppose
senate bill 195 do so on account of their financial interest in
the use of large advertising space. They will urge that their
desire is to save advertising cost.
Our reply is that our interest is m providing the tax payers
with the full details of the proposals that their servants are
making' for spending their tax money. The record of this
column is a fairly good one.'we think, on saving money for
the tax payer by means of critical inspection of published
budgets. We think that the public should be informed of its
iffairs by the publication of budgets and tax proposals.
- How about getting into this yourself you, the reader of
these words. If you think it's a desirable thing to continue to
.publish budgets about as they have been published in the past
' and if you think house bill or something like it should be
passed write us and say so. We'll pass the word along to the
legislature. If you think the reduced publication such as is
sugested by senate bill is sufficient tell us so and well pass
that word along. ..
Do you want to be informed by means of an advertisement
as in the past or do you want to see a little money saved? It's
your tax money that will be spent. What's your preference ?
THIS WAS BOVGHT . ' -.
Well, for the first time, we are writing a piece for this
column for which, as you might put it, pay has been offered.
No one, so far as we can remember, has ever had the temerity
to offer anything of the sort before and it may seem strange
(hat on this first occasion we should fall. But have charity and
before you condemn us hear our story.
It was our friend, Bob Fox, (Postmaster Robert H. Fox,
officially) who came to us with the proposition and we ac
cepted his offer more for the purpose of helping him than on
account of the personal gain.
Here is the story. Over at the post office a new method of
sending small sums of .money by mail is now in operation. It
takes the place of the former postal money order and has
been devised for the purpose of simplifying things both for
the office and its customers. Instead of filling out a money
order application and having a postal clerk then go through
all the detail of making out the order the customer buys a
so-called postal note (actually it is a stamp) for the amount
of money he wishes to mail, attaches it to a card that he gets
with the stamp, writes in the name and address of the payee
nnd mails it. Before giving him the card the clerk who sold
the stamp has written in three places on the card the value of
the stamp (the top size is $10) and imprinted in three places
with a rubber stamp the name of the post office and the
date. That's all he has had to do. The customer pays five cents
for the service whatever the size of the note. j
There are lines on the back where the purchaser writes in
his name and there is a coupon on which he may make a
record, if he wishes, of the person to whom and for what he
sent the stamp. This, f course, is to be detached before mail
ing. The stamp itself is on another coupon which is to be de
tached at the office where the stamp is cashed and only there.
This is important. The payee signs on the face of the note
when he receives payment.
Bob Fox wanted to get the story of this new postal note
over to the public and he wanted us to do it for him. So that
we might know just what we were writing about he bought a
stamp, made the note out to the paper, went through all the
rest of the procedure and then brought the note to us. It lies
on the table beside us as we write.
And there you have the story of the new postal note and
of the first time we have taken anything for a piece in this
column. It's only a 50 cent stamp, at that.
P.S. We are giving the note to a stamp collector who may
like Bob Fox's autograph, aa well.
