PAPKH RATHS ...................... « • < * FEBRUARY 18, 1935 WAYS AND MEANS The committee In the legisla ture that has the greatest ego Is the ways and means committee. It is the one that makes up the budget after the department of revenue has made up that docu ment and the governor has ap proved It, usually reducing It somewhat. Ways and means Is the final word. The people pay on their figures. For years ways and means has had an easy Job because there has been a goodly sum of money left over from war time Income that could not be spent. It has not had to be economical; it has not been. This year it is different. Al though the money pasted well it did not last forever. The ways and means committee has not proven equal to this sort of res ponsibility and it has told the house tax committee (which must originate new taxes! that there will be a deficit of around $60,000,- 000 and it wants to have that much raised in new taxes. The state can raise this sum by borrowing, by increasing income taxes, by Increasing property tax es. The house taxation committee Is the agency that must take the first step in case of taxation. It can pasa the buck right back to the ways and means committee and in our estimation that is just what it should do. Because the ways and means committee handles the funds it is composed of experienced legisla tors— and generally very good ones. But they have been raising the budget for years and are In no position to reverse their pre vious actions. When Inflation was rife In the *«•«* -•••* *rvrv K<*nrg tip earn year there was a reason why the budget had to be increased at each session. The Republicans have stopped inflation. Prices have not been going up. There is no need to Increase the budget. When there was inflation the state was also ac quiring new citizens who brought more children, filled the asylums, the penitentiary, needed more roads and in general cost more money. That is the penalty we pay for more population. New popu lation ulways coats money, long itefore it pays its way in taxes. While the state has hud a sur plus of money as u backlog it has l>een providing services at a rate that is at least equul to the nation during the new deal days. Any petty little minority able to hire a few lobbyists has been able to have a commission established to do something for a few at the ex- penae of the many. legislatures have pasted this on to the people, who stood for it because it didn’t show up on the tax statement. Now it is going to show up—and all at once. The board of higher education furnishes all kinds of services that serve a few. Many of them could l»e eliminated and the bud get for that state function reduced from $33 million to around $25 million.

For years, in the legislature and out, it has been our conten tion that Oregon was providing more services than the majority of its citizens wanted or needed. We hold that the state must live within its income based on in come and property taxes no high er than those of other states. We feel that if the state will quit try ing to do things for the people, the people will do the things they want by and for themselves—and do them better. Asking the tax committee of the house to go all the way on the deficit is a sign of weakness on the part of the ways and means committee. It should cut the bud get by $50 million before asking for a tax increase of $10 or $12 million. Asking the people to pay an additional 25% to 33% in state taxes when their incomes are the same is not good government, not good finance, and not good politics. It is true’that the people, them selves have voted for a lot of these expenditures. But it must be remembered that they did it be cause of campaigns based on the existence of a surplus which does not now exist, and because of ex panding incomes which not now prevail. This is a time for econ omy. We hope the legislature has the good sense to provide it. If not and the people have a chance to vote for more taxes or some economy we are not in doubt that the latter will prevail. was to have some one speak for them. These delegates were the spokesmen for the people; they were in that capacity often op posed to the wishes of the crown, in fact, they only fulfilled their purpose when they were in oppo sition. The legislature is the represen tative of the people under the con stitution. T h e administrative branch, the executive department, is the legitimate heir of the king, the ruling branch. The judicial section keeps everyone In con formity with the established rules. When a legislature abandons is original function and gives pow er to the administrative branch it is failing in its work. Lately we have had entirely too much of that and the actions of the 1932 congress in voting bills without reading is the classic example of legislative worthlessness. A legislature, or congress, has the job of protecting the people against the encroachments of the executive. When its members get to thinking of themselves as a part of the government instead of delegates of the people it is time to remove them and get some new ones. Governments have been nuilt to great size and tremendous expense, largely because these re presentatives of the people have listened to the siren song of the minority and voted for more gov ernment and against the people.
