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. We have ln»en too gener

example, huge payments ,to fam

built up a basic school fund so
large that we drain it away on
services that few can us<>and we
deprive local districts from res
ponsibility.
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.
