STATUS OF OREGON STATE FINANCES rn. Great Evil
In Modern Buslnet
. By C. C. CHAPMAN, Editor, Oregon Voter
ia no
main
Unofficial report! emanating from
official source! at Salem have sug
gested that there will be little or no
deficit in state finances during 1926,
despite loss of cigarette tax and other
revenues by referendum, and that
state taxes will be reduced by more
than $500,000 for that year. Whether
there are any such probabilities
should be known soon, as the state
tax commission is required to pre
pare its estimates and levy for the
1926 state tax early in December of
this year. Here is how the situation
sites up at this time:
Direction was given by the taut leg
- Islature to the state tax commission
to levy not In excess of one-half mill
for the 1926 requirements of the sol
dier loan board officially known as tho
World War Veterans State Aid and
Sinking Fund commission. This year
the levy was one full mill. Discre
tion was given to levy less than one
half mill should the state tax com
mission decide that a leacer amount
is needed. The prospects are that
the levy will be for one-half mill or
nearly one-half mill. A reduction of
state property taxes of one-haf mill,
possibly a little more, may therefore
be expected for 1926. If the reduc
tion is one-half mill, the state prop
erty tax in 1926 will be about $500,000
less than for 1925, which will be wel
come news to property owners.
Likewise, the state tax commission
has some discretion as to levies for
other state purposes, but there
hope that it may reduce th
state levy below the $2,038,432 per
mitted under the constitutional limi
tation of increase in this levy to 6
of the previous general levy. This
year the general state levy, for pur
poses within the 6 limitation, was
$1,923,049. The increase from this
year's amount, by $115,383 to $2,038,
432, would appear to be essential.
In fact, what the state really is fat
ing is a prospective deficit, for 1926,
of from $500,000 to $900,000, do to
the referendum of measures which
the legislature intended to provide
revenue to cover its appropriation.
On the basis of figures before the leg
islature at the time it convened, this
deficit would amount to $1,470,000,
Burning its appropriations were to be
as great as ultimately they proved
to be. But before the session ad
journed, the estimates as to receipts
from income tax and inheritance tax
were revised upwards by $350,000
New revenue measures, not referend-
ed, provide an additional $208,000 for
the biennium, and income tax collec
tions have exceeded the anticipation
by nearly $30,000 more. By virtue of
this extra revenue, the theoretical
deficit now confronting the state is
only $885,000 for 1926,
But receipts from other state activ
ities also are greater than were ex
pected. In proportion as this increase
is maintained, the $885,000 prospec
' tive deficit will be reduced. Also,
there are some appropriations which
will not be needed in their entire
amounts, promising a further reduc
tion in the deficit of approximately
$250,000. t is not unreasonable to
expect that, by taking into account
the probable unexpondod balance of
such appropriations, and the probable
increased receipts from other revenue
sources, that the prospective deficit
can be whittled down to $500,000 for
192S.

Turning State' $ Evidence
State's evidence Is testimony
given by a person Implicated In a
crime. Such evidence Is presumed to
Incriminate others. A person who
gives such testimony Is said to "turn
state s evidence." usually In such
cases there Is a direct or Implied
promise from the authorities not to
prosecute the person who testifies
for the state. Naturally such im
munity from prosecution Is not
promised by the prosecuting officers
unless there Is lack of sufficient evi
dence to convict those against whom.

Tho we Fool Questions
The bright red motorcar skidded
violently across Hie road, shot
through a hedge and landed on It
lite in a rnuchlv nlowed field. The
biennium as are jot provided for ,jriver crawled painfully out of the
wreck and stood looking at it, the
picture of gloom.
After a while, a pnsser-Dy looaea
through a hole In the hedge.
Hi'llo !" he ptcI n Imed cheerfully.
uring finer even than this, so that by
more liberal estimates as to unex
pended balances and prospective re
ceipts, the anticipated deficit may be
reduced under the $500,000 but it will
require sharp pencils to get it below
that sum.
Even with this deficit in prospect,
there is little probability that the
Btate will have to go on the warrant
basis, at any rate for any long period
during 1926, for the reason that mo
tor vehicle license fees and gasoline
tax, ultimately destined for highway
work, are captured at first by the
general fund and there held until the
period arrived for their5 transfer from
that fund. This accumulation into
the general fund, while obligated as
to its final destination, is available
for cashing warrants so long as it
visits in the general fund. While
theoretically the funds available for
general state purposes may be ex
hausted, use of the highway funds
temporarily in the general fund may
tide the state throtgh without hav-
ng to stamp warrants "not paid for
lack of funds."
This temporary use of highway
funds may be regarded as not exact
ly the best financial practice, and it
does set a bad precedent for abuse.
Nevertheless it would appear to be
justifiable under the law and also by
good business. It woud be unfor
tunate to withhold payment of state
warrants when funds were on hand
from which they might be paid, pro
vided the amounts so paid out could
be restored in time to permit their
transfer to the highway funds.
Even with this happy prospect for
1926, the deficit at the end of that
year will be a real one, and revenue
must be found to cover it. If the cig
arette tax is upheld by the people, and
also the 'bus bill and the 10 bill,
the .proceeds of those measures will
begin to come in about Jan. 1, 1927.
They may yield a sufficient amount
to provide for the 1926 deficit and
such state expenditures for the 1927
28
by existing revenues. The 1927 leg
islature will have that problem be
fore it, and it bids fair to be a serious
problem. In the event of failare of
the three referred revenue measures
at the November, 1926, election, the
problem would attain the proportions
of a crisis in state finances and
would force resort to new sources of
revenue which, if taken to the people
by referendum, would tie the situa
tion up for a considerable part of the
year 1927 and possibly most of 1928
This is looking into the future, but
there can be no escape from such
crisis unless it is provided by the
vote of the people at the 1926 election.
In conclusion, it may be said that
tho optimism as to avoiding deficit in
1926 is not justified, that additional
revenue will be required to cover that
deficit and the minimum essential
requirements of the 1927-28 biennium
and that the prospective half-mill re
duction of state taxes has no relation
whatsoever to this deficit. It also is
possible that the deficit ' may be
glossed over during the campaign
year of 1926, due o tho use of funds
collected for another purpose, but it
will be none tho less real and can be
wiped out only by revenues other than
those which are now in sight.
The figures upon which foregoing
analysis is based are all from official
sources, and are as follows

Deficit
Notes to Foregoing Table.
Neither of the foregoing total fig
ures includes the two-mill tax for
state aid of elementary schools, which
yields $4,267,762, or slightly more for
the 1925-26 biennium. This amount
does not reach the state treasury, but
ia distributed by and in the counties
in which the tax is collected.
The estimates as to receipts from
the 1926 millage taxes are those in
the Blue Book, except that one-half
mill has been deducted as to the sol
dier loan millnee. In the event of
the valuation of taxable property ex
ceeding that upon which the Blue
Hook millage tax estimates were bas
ed, the millage taxes will yield slight
ly more. Any such excess in yioia
goes direct to the activities for which
the millage is levied. Part of the
millage taxcB are not voted by the
people, however, so they come within
tho 6 limitation. As to millage
within the 6 limitation, tho excess
yield would give that much more
money to the benefited activities, but
would leave that much less in the
general fund wherewith to finance ac
tivities subsisting from other than
millage appropriations. In propor
tion as such excess levies divert mon
ey from the general fund, the estimat
ed deficit for 1920 will be Increased.
For each 1 of such Increase In as
sessed valuation, approximately $20,
000 would be diverted from the goner
1 fund, thus Increasing the deficit
by that amount.
Likewise, the total as to appropria
tions and mlllaga taxes Is tnken from
the 1925 Blue Book, excepting that
one-half mill, $537,600, has been de-
$ 886,858
ducted on account of the reduction of
1926 soldier loan millage of at least
one-half mill, thus making the esti
mated requirements for the biennium
$15303,068 instead of $16,340,568, the
Blue Book total (see page 167).
As to the cash balance of Dec. 31,
1924, this would have been $216,897
larger if that amount had not been
expended beyond the original estimat
ed requirements of the 1924 tax levy,
Were it not for $537,746 income tax
collections in 1924 over the $1,260,000
estimated to be raised by an income
tax, the state general fund would
have shown a deficit of $218,987 at the
end of 1924, except as unexpended
balances of 1923 appropriations tend
ed to wipe it out.
In proportion as actual receipts
cecd those listed as coming from
sources other than property tax, the
deficit will bo reduced. It is reason
able to expect $100,000 reduction of
deficit from such receipts.
In proportion as appropriations by
the 1925 legislature aro not expended
during 1925-28, the deficit will be re
duced. It is reasonable to expect
$250,000 reduction of deficit by virtue
of such unexpended balances.
Expenditures sanctioned under au
thority of the emergency board would
increase the deficit, unless equaled
by receipts under the auto title trans
fer act, which seems doubtful.
Taking all the foregoing probabil
ities into consideration it is doubtful
whether the deficit can be reduced
much under $500,000, but we will
know more about It aftor Secretary of
Stato Sum A, Koser, makes public the
figures ho is compiling in relation to
the subject.
