Balkan states arc said to he taking military precautions against the spread of terrorism in Bulgaria, which flared to its high mark with the re cent attack on King Boris, assassin ation of General Gheoghieff and bombing of the Svett Krai cathedral, where ICO persons were killed. Troops Are Moved Roumania is reported moving troops toward both her liussiun and Bulgarian frontiers. Jugo-Slnvia is guarding her border; indirect reports says Greece is mobilizing n part of her army but will uot intervene unless Greek frontiers are threatened. Greece, according to these reports will regard an increased Bulgarian army as a menace to the Balkan status quo. Greek agents arc re ported en route to Belgrade to renew negotiations for a Greek-HInv alli ance. Intervention Feared Houmania intervention will follow nny attempt to establish a communist republic in Bulgaria, it is declared hi dispatches from Bucharest, where sen sational accounts of the Bulgarian sit uation huvc been received. Belgrade dispatches to London say a serious diplomatic conflict between Itoumiinin and Bulgaria appears pos sible unless Bulgaria nbiuiiitjns her suspicion of .lugo-lSlav complicity in the campaign of terrorism in Bul garia.

SAl.KM, Ore., April 24. Some oh servers here see a violation of the law, .sections 4214 nnd 4215 of the Oregon code, by Governor Pierce, and Former State Treasurer Myers wiien they refused last December to levy a state tax large enough to meet the state's need as shown by the budget, and claim this will, toward the close of the present year, and the year fol lowing, make It necesaary that the constitution he violated In the amount of the state debtor that a special session of the legislature be called to grapple with the financial snarl. "jhis is on the nsRumpUon that the intorests back or the tobacco tax nnd Tithing act referendum succeeed in getting the, referendums on the bal lot. Article Quoted Article 2, section 7, of the state constitution provides that the debt of the slate in excess of its ability to pay shall not exceed $.10,000, hut with the tobacco tax held up by the refer endum until nfter the general elec tion in-Novemher 1028 nnd it may he defeated then the state will at the end of this year be without fumla to meet the shortage in funds caused by the curtniltnent of the tax levy. And because of the ft per rent coiw stitutional tax limitation a shortage will nlso he faced nt the end of RI20. When the fall of 02." arrives (he I slate treasury will be shorter of funds than it has been for years, says Slate Treasurer Kay, due to t ho short levy. While the tax commission should, to meet the requirements of the state budget, hnve levied in excess of ,t mills, it is accused of arbitrarily levying only 1.8 mills. It is declared this was for the deliberate purpose on the part of the governor to place the legislature in a hole in revenge for the repeal of the state Income tax. This means that the state tax for this year is only about ?I.0('MHK. Half of this amount is now coming in nnd the other half will not he due until next fall. Shortage Is Shown The shortage between the tax levy land the funds actually needed .was I about $2..00,OOn for the bienniuin. in cluding budget estimated of $1,700.01)0 which the budget commission referred to the legislature without recommen dation. The legislature, without an adequate lax levy to fall back upon. I found itself unable to appropriate enough money by about $l..V0,iXtO hepre the enactment of the tobacco bill nnd other revenue producing ! measures, and subsequently appro ; priation vetoes by the governor. On jlhe assumption that the money would be forthcoming from the revenue acts all absolutely necessary appropria . tions were made, 'i he secretary of state has no option but to issue war rant up to Ihe full amount of ap propriations, and if the funds are cut short by the referendum it will be I necessary for Ihe state to borrow money far in excess of the ,f Mrf 1 constitutional allowance so the war ; rants may be paid. n mm 0 I Facing Anarchists 1 1 tswwssr , i"s . v .
