PIERCE USES VETO THREAT FOR REVENUE (Continued from Page One In part, the governor saya: "The one-quurtor mill nxl tux and the continuing appropriation for the battleship Oregon uhoultl be repealed without delay. Irre parable injury will he dune this ;;reat state if you fail to puss a law in a king it possible to collect the balance due on Income taxes for li3, chiefly owing from about 1700 individuals and corporations and amounting to approximately j,uuu,oou. With all these thitiKs accomplished, it still will bo found nueeasary to provide on additional su mot of at least $500,000 (it the coming biennium. The wavs and means commlt'ees have not been able to change materially the totals allowed by the atute budget commission. In a few Instances re Mictions have been made: In oth ers the committee hoa found it necessary to Increase 'he amounts recommended. 'L'nlei3 provision is made for additional revenue, there cau be no building program for the in sane, for the feeble-minded nor for the normal school. "In my first in en sage to this as- scmlily I asked for $150,000 for (he Oregon state training school. of which amount $100,000 was u. be used to complete the buildings a Woodburn, and $50,000 for re modeling the buildings on the present site into a reformatory. 1 still believe that this is the best policy to pursue. However, if you find It Impossible to make such appropriations, may I then sttg- Rest that you appropriate $25,000 jddi tonal to maintain a reform ichooi for the lagrer and Incorrigi ble b )e at the pre sen site of Iho traniing school, and make no addi tion to the amount now available for tho b u i I d 1 11 gs at Wood b 11 r ii. However, this will delay for two years the establishment of a re formatory, which ia so badly noed- d. The governor bhould be giv.;u the power to transfer to the reform school the younger men at tho penitentiary when It 1b possible t) effect reformation. "In my first message a number of sources were suggested from which the state could obtain t'dd: tional revenue. Your attention -R train raited to the fact that tne state of Iowa Is collecting $700. 000 annually from a tax on ciii rettes. Other states are collectitm moving pictures. Many are collect ing occupational taxc. Minnesota, California and other Uates are collecting a perccntag- of gross earnings of public utili ties for the support of helr ti-v government. A large number of states are collecting taxes upm natural resources, such a nil, coil and ti ruber, when removed from nature's storehouse. A number 01 Mate are collecting much higher corporation fees than Oregon. Tin1 state of California Is collecting 2 per cent on gress premiums of ml insurance. Oregon Is collecting 2.25 per cent. If the state of Or- on collected from insurance com panies at the aamv rate that is now being collected In California, this would bring about $200,000 addi tional to the state treasury durln;; the biennium after the law became operattT. We Are all proud of the insurance companies organiie I in Oregon, but there la no reason why tltey should be exempt from paying taxes. The repeal of tit's exemption (or Oregon comiwn'w would add a considerable mtm to state revenue. "Ten per ccn of the revenue Irvln Koblnson, the one man for whom Prohibition Director Cleav er claims the credit of capturing in Marion county during the past year In his famous report to the governor, Is out of the county jail by grace of the executive's cb t-ncy, an J the old question of wheth er or not the governor has a right to grxnt a reprieve In anything but capital ca-fes has again bobbed up. Irw in Robinson, incidentally. Is the man who offered bin use if vi cariously aj a sacrifice when Dewey (iearin, prominent St. Paul farmer. and son of former 1'nited State! Henat r Gearin, found his name on a warrant charging him with pos session of a still. Hobinson work ed for (Iearin The rep'leve of Robinson Is datd February 14. but only reach ed the hands of Sheriff Bower to day and was granted by the gov ernor on recommendation of I. J. Kuntz. former justice of the peace who sentenced Koblnson, Kuntz sentenced R'Mnon to pay a fine of $100 and serve five months in the county jail. His sentence which startei September 1 9 last year, would have been out within a com parntively short time, counting the days off for good time which the sheriff could have given him, pro viding nis fine had been paid. The repiieve Is 'a peculiar docu ment. It provides that Robinson be reprieved from February 14, 1925 to April 14, 1925, providing he pay $20 at the time of his re lease and another $25 on or be fore April 14. It does not say to whom he is to pay the $50 or what for, or even that it is to be applied on the fine. Or. top of that It make.? no mention of the other $250 included in the fine. Former Justice Kuntz appeared and paid the first $25 for Hobinson. The case of Robinson excited much comment at the time of the arrest. Deputy Sheriffs Roy Biem mer and Bert Smith located the mill on Oearin's ranch and seized it. There was no one there at the time. A warrant was lraued for Oearin's arrest but Robinfion ap peared at the justice court claim ing posaeseion of the still, that Gearin knew nothing about it and was entirely innocent. Robinson then entered a plea of guilty and took his medicine. Cleaver's men figured in it in a peculiar way. They evidently saw Deputies Bremnvr and Smith !eavo the courthouse for some out side de.st;nation as they followed them to the Ccarin ranch and when they arrived there invited themselves In on a still seizing party. Their presence there nave Cleaver an excuse for claiming that nis orn-je was responsible for seiz ing a still in this county, the only one In the year that they claimed any credit for. n Dr. Sun Critically 111 Peking, Feb, 16. t l!y Associat ed Press.) Dr. Sun Yat-Sen re mained critically ill from caw-er today. The famous leader in Chi nese affairs was stricken on Jnnu- try. when he underwent &n operation. ollected by the self-sustaining commissions, if paid into the state treasury, would idd $200,000 10 the general fund during the com ing biennium, which would lc only returning to the state treas ury a portion of tue amount which these activities have cost the state n supr'.'vision and in the protec tion uftorded them by the court in utne operation of law. "One-eighth of one per cent 01 the gross earnings of public utili ties would raise more than $200 -000 In the coining biennium. Ii you wilt enact such a law I will gladly sign the bill which you have passed appropriating $100. 000 for the public service commis sion. In addition to the payment of taxes on their farme and per sonal property, the wheat raisers of Oregon are also paying a tax upon every ton of wheat for sup port of state inspection. The fish industry is paying a poundage tax for supoprt of the fish commission. The same just cause exists for tax ing public utilities corporations for at least sufficient to pay tlie x pen so of maintaining the public service commission. I am still firmly of the opinion that thii- commission has not aced always m the public interest, and that it should be appointed by the '.'- rnor ond revokable at his pleas ure. However, I am willing to waive this point If will so provid" tne revenue that the cost of main taining the commission will rot ontinue to be a burden upon property. "Should you fail to provide the necessary revenue for the appro priations made, do not expect me to approve the bills, for 1 shall b 1 obliged to veto them, deeply I may regret the necessity for wli 1 action. I will not be a party tt increasing the tax burden up-r. the owuers of homes and f-.r;p property in this state when It v within your power to raise t!ii necessary revenue from rources . easily available. "It is to he n'gretted that ? much valuable time has been wanted ot this session. The re forestation problem has not re- eived the consideration at youi hands that it deserves. Hours hiv. been frittered away on minor things, when matters of vital Im portance should hare had you, most careful and earnest consider ation. Bills looking toward equol iiatlon of taxation still slumber In committee. We can retrieve muc-i lost ground . by harmoniously working together during the chw ing days of this session. It Is a most unpleasant task to veto a bill, but when I ain convinced tha a bill ie wrong I will use the veto In the future as farelessly as 1 have in the past.
