Newspaper Page Text) v WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 5, 1949 THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND, OREGON PAGE THREE J Money Will Be No. 1 Headache I For Legislature By Klilon Barrel t J (lJnit.il Vrets Stuff (JorreM.mlcnt) 1 Sulem, Jan. 5 Money will 'I be the No. 1 problem of the 45th 1 legislative session. This has been s the ease in the last 44 sessions. I Oregon has plenty of money In J Its treasury, including an estimat f ed $40,000,000 surplus of income v taxes, but it can't be touched un I less the voters give the word. At t the same time the cost of govern I mem is going skyhigh. J Unless sornelhing is clone to I aleviate this puradoxical situation 7 Oregon's budget books will be I kept with red ink, Budget director ! George Aiken said. "The day may not be far off," Aiken said, "when 1 the state will have to pay its bills I with warrants." I ,J Keek Revenue Source J The first thing the lawmakers probably will do is attempt to find fja new source of revenue that w ould be acceptable to the people. ? Their plans to do this two years f ago went flying out the window 1 when the voters were asked to ! approve them. it When the legislators packed 5 their bags and left town April 6, 2 1047, they held up to the voters a sales tax bill designed to solve a if good share of the state's finan I cial worries. i The measure was dressed up like a Christmas goose and stuf- fed with something for nearly everyone. On top of that the legis 1 lators told the people, in effect. "either swallow this or we'll put i a withholding tax in your tea and 3 serve up a large income tax." ). But the voters, like they had done four times before, turned j thumbs clown on the sales tax and cooked the goose that was to have 5 laid golden eggs. i The 1949 legislature probably - won't have much appetite for that particular kind of fowl. Attorney general George Neu- ner ruled recently that the legis lature could amend the corpor ate excise and personal income i tax laws so that revenues from those sources could be used to J pay slate deficits without getting r approval of the voters. If this ? ruling stands up in courts it would ' go a long way toward solving ; part of the lawmakers' monetery difficulties. Neuner made it plain, ; however, that this ruling did not apply to money already collected. Some legislators are looking tWih hungry eyes at the lucrative Pncome gambling devices , bring j 'their owners. They figure these i machines and race track bookies J should fork over some of their , swag. Opponents of this propos '' ol say that to tax such things ' would be to give them legal recog : nition. They point out that Ore- gon has a constitutional amend ment prohibiting gambling. Out of Balance ; The legislature will be con fronted with a state budget about $40,000,000 out of balance, inform ed sources indicate. State agen cies have asked for approximately $137,000,000 to operate the next biennium. These requests have been pared to around $110,000,000 but estimated revenue for the pe riod is only $70,000,000. Another hitch in the state's fi nancial tangle is the old age pen sion measure which the voters whose hearts appear to be bigger than their pocketbooks approv ed at the general election. The lawmakers have been asked to dig up enough money to finance- the act. But just for an appetizer, the lawmakers will be confronted im mediately with a $6,500,000 deficit the state has right now. It sounds like the theme song I of the 45th session will be "If 1 I had several million dollars and i you." i Scouts to Gather 48 Auto Plates Boy Scouts have launched a drive for aluminum and are col lecting 1947 and 1948 automobile plates, Modoc council executives have announced. The plates are weighed in bulk and sold to alu minum companies, at about 12 'a cents a pound. Because of the small profit the boys are making, their leaders say it will be impossible for them to canvass the entire town, and they are asking that the used car plates be left at service stations. Station owners are being asked to notify scout leaders or Leo Her bring, district commissioner, of accumulations of plates, and these will be picked up by troops. The scouts are to handle the drive primarily as a community good turn, to get used aluminum back into circulation. N.E.

Representatives of coast schools announced this at their midwinter meeting yesterday. Season play is finished the second Saturday after the last Thursday in November, the conference ruled. Specifically exempted from the rulins are games played in Ha waii. The action means Oregon's ap pearance in the Cotton bowl this year was the last time a coast school may go east or south for a bowl game. Although conference teums pre viously were barred from other games only by an unwritten rule, Oregon had to obtain league per mission to appear in the Cotton bowl. Iiule Abolishment Suggested A request of the Tournament of Roses association, sponsor of the Rose bowl, for abolishment of a Big Nine rule permitting teams to appear in the New Year's game jnly once in three years was for warded to the western confer ence, PCC Commissioner Victor O. Schmidt announced. Michigan, Big Nine champion this season and last, was not al lowed to come to the Rose bowl Saturday and cannot come next year if it wins the title again. Schmidt said the conference did not approve or disapprove of the association's request. Big Nine Commissioner K. L. I Tug) Wil son told him the request would be taken under consideration by the western conference, Schmidt said. The conference barred football or basketball players from par ticipating in their sports in sum mer physical education classes, after criticism was leveled at 18 members of the Oregon football squad for taking such a class last year and presumably studying football. Praetios Banned -A regulation was issued that prohibits spring football practice from starting until the spring se mester and bans practice at the end of the regular fall schedule. Officials are now allowed to work freshman games of the schools they attended. Tommy Fitzpatrick, supervisor of league football officials, denied that an attempt was made to put Kield judge Jay Berwanger on the spot in North western's disputed Rose bowl touchdown. He answered Jim Masker, su pervisor of Big Nine officials, who felt Referee Jim Cain tried to shift responsibility for the rul ing to Berwanger. Art Murakow ski's score gave the Wildcats their 20 to 14 win margin over California, although some critics said he fumbled the ball before scoring. 'I have no quarrel with Jim Masker, but I can't quite figure out his reasoning," Fitzpatrick said. "In one breath he criticizes Cain for putting Berwanger on the spot and in the next breath he concedes it is up to the otricial in the best position to report his Willamette Grade School Destroyed Willamette, Jan. 5 tlP A $300,- 000 fire destroyed the Willamette grade school here this morning shortly before classes were to be gin. The blaze, of undetermined ori gin, broke out about 8 a.m. while students were leaving their homes for school. Minor Davidson, the janitor, was alone in the building at the time and called the fire de partment. Four other fire companies from surrounding communities were called but were unable to control the fire until it had gutted the one-story brick building. Officials estimated total loss at $300,000.

Sport Parade By Oscar Fraley (t)nilrd l're Sport Writer) New York, Jan. 5 'll'i -The fast break in basketball was on the pan today in court circles wi h a new blast by Don (Dudey) Moore of Duquesne but despite the con versation nobody is going to be able to hitch the stars to a horse and buggy. If a coach has boys who can go faster than Friday's pay check, he's going to teach firehouse bas ketball. And If the lads are slower than bank business on Sunday, I hen the coach is going to "won der" like Moore whether there shouldn't be less of a blaze under the baskets. Moore, who proved his ability by advancing this year from high school to college basketball coach ing, recites as a more thrilling sample a game in which he play ed back in woeful, hungry 1931!. HaJ Good Center "I was playing at Duquesne and we had a center who usually got the tap under the old center jump," Dudey recalled in attempt ing to substantiate his point. "In most games we managed to bold the other team to two or three field goals. "Well, we came to New York to play City college and held a four point lead at hulftlmp something like 16 to 12. "At the end of the third quar ter," Moore added, "they were two points ahead. So they froze the ball and in the whole fourth quarter didn't take one shot at the basket. Meanwhile, they made four foul shots, kept the ball away from us, and won by six points." After reciting this "thrilling" episode of the old style basket ball, which must have had the customers sleeping very soundly In the aisles, Moore went on to "wonder" whether the pendulum hasn't swung too far the other way. Scores Higher Certainly today scores are as tronomical compared to those of the past. But most coaches, ex cept those without speedsters, and, more important, the fans, agree that the swift pace and ra pid exchanges make for a more Interesting contest. Nothing is as deadly as those back court exhibitions of drib bling and freezing the ball. Professional basketball has taken the tip and where they hit the hoop for hard cash it's (he more points the merrier. With these tactics, (lie pro Basketball Association of America reports attendance up about five per cent overall with great increases in Chicago and Boston and advances in Baltimore and Philadelphia. The pro loop's Walt Kennedy admits, however, that he had a shock last week in Jacksonville when he was introduced to a man as a "BAA official." 'Oh, yes," replied the man, "I've heard of your track meets In the Boston Garden." "I wondered whether he really meant our high scoring or wheth er he was referring to the Boston Athletic association which puts on track meets," Kennedy grin ned. fRU 800KUT Lnrn what modern science i is doin$ to solve problems of heanne loss for people cruelly handicapped.
