State Property Tax
Verbal Tilt on Building
Corbett in Front
By A. L. LINDBECK
SALEM. Property owners will
contribute only $1,363,706.47 toward
the current expenses of the state
government during 1935, Of the
total state levy of $4,555,005.59
against property announced by the
tax commission last week $1,887,
008.81 is the two-mill levy for sup
port of the elementary school, a
fund which remains in the counties
and is in no sense a state tax. An
other $1,304,290.31 of the 1935 levy
is accounted for by the general
fund deficit, which, according to the
constitution, must be met if this can
be done without exceeding the six
percent increase.
While the financial needs of the
many tax-supported state depart
ments, institutions, boards and com
missions for the year are estimated
at $6,044,455.47, revenues from mis
cellaneous sources other than prop
erty taxes are expected to yield $4,
680,749. These miscellaneous sources
include income, intangibles and ex
cise taxes estimated to yield $1,
900,000; inheritance taxes, corpora
tion and insurance fees, tithing fees,
etc., estimated at $2,150,000; trans
fers to the general fund from the
motor transport division, fish and
game department, etc., for support
ot the state police, totalling $430,
749; and unexpended balance from
the 1933-34 budgets amounting to
Special milla'ges alone impose a
burden of ?1,764,485 upon the tax
payers of the state or approximate
ly $400,000 in excess of the total
property tax for current expenses.
Oregon has received more help
irom uncle Bam during the past
year in proportion to its own con
tribution toward relief of the un
employed than any other northern
state. More than 90 percent of all
funds SBent in the state this vpn r
for unemployment relief has come
Irom the lederal government. nr
cording to information received by
ue executive department. Approx
imately $15,000,000 in federal funds
have been allocated to Oregon this
year. These include $8,530,593 in
federal emereencv relief funds Jfi
000,000 in civil works funds and
$500,000 worth of commodities for
aisiriDution among the needy.
Legislative action will be neces
sarv before the state's th
mal schools can be designated as
junior colleges Attorney General
Van Winkle advised the state board
of higher education. The attorney
general's opinon points out that the
present law provides that the ex
clusive purpose and object of the
normal schools "is the giving of in
struction necessarv nr nnnrnnriiito
j i' i' - ; . . .
to qualify persons for teaching in
uie puDiic scnools or the state and
mey are oy law designated as nor
mal schools."
The most recent verbal tilt be
tween Governor Meier and Rtato
Treasurer Holman, that centering
aDoui tne Mulkey building, seems
to De just another case of much ado
aDOUt nothing in particular.
Holman, it seems, suggested that
the legislature should investigate
the feasibilitv
building into office space for state
uepartmenis, u ana when the build
ing reverts to the state pitino- to
fact that the state is now paying
Bume w,uuu a month in rentals to
provide for state activities now lo
cated in Portland.
When the governor heard of the
suggestion he immediately branded
it as "asinine and ridiculous" and
insisted that the state should turn
the property back to the Mulkey es
tate.
The building, a three story affair
jucauea at second and Morrison
streets, was willed to the state by
ranx jm. Mulkey of Portland who
aiea in wzi. The beauest. hnw
ever, was subject to a life interest
in the proDertv bv Chester v ninh
who has since died, and Marshall
ii. Armstrong, who survives
The legislature of 1929 accepted
the gift and authorized the board
of control to take charge of the
propercy ana protect the state's
interests, such as might exist. At
torney General Van Winkle, how
ever, has advised the board that at
yet title to the property has not
passed 10 tne state and will not
long as Armstrong lives.
Multnomah ennniv amv.a
in
diverting $50,000 of its nnemnlnv.
ment relief allotment this month
to the relief of its indigents but
other counties faced with the same
problem will probably have to mud
die through as best thev par, Ti
agreeing to this diversion of funds
io meei tne Multnomah county em
ergency the federal relief adminis
trator warned that "we must in
sist that relief of the iinemTiinvohie
is a responsibility of Incni .nmrv

io mean mat any additional indi

migni want to advance will have
be in addition to the $250,000
to
a
month which Oregon has agreed
to
pui up to match lederal funds
for
relief of the unemployed. This
would necessitate sale of certifl
cates of indebtedness against
tUre lidUOr Droflts a nrnz-eriiirn
which Governor Meier is very much
opposed.
The State ilOHDltal for Insane
at
Salem reached a new population
record this week with a total
of
2878 patients, 1479 men and
1199
women.
Refusal of Senator finrnett tn
lease his pledges from their prom
ise to support him for the gavel-
wiciding jod would seem to have
npiKcu tne pians oi tne .Democratic
minority to dictate organization
of
tne senate through a coalition
the "Progressive" members of
with
that
body. Corbett is said to have 18 of
the senators signed on the dotted
line and even though two of these
should desert him, which is not
likely, he would still have enough
votes to insure his election to the
presidency.
With the leadership of the two
legislative bodies thus apparently
settled attention now turns to the
legislative program. Governor-elect
Martin who was in Salem this week
on a house-hunting expedition re
fused to discuss the message which
he is now whipping into shape ex
cept to say that it would deal with
number of important problems.
Regardless of what recommenda
tions the governor may have to
make, however, it can be taken for
granted that there will be the usual
grist of bills demanding attention.
bmall truck owners are organiz
ing for another attack on the bus
and truck bill. Even the big truck
operators think that the motor
transport fees are too high and will
demand a revision downward, a
proposal that can be expected to
meet with plenty of opposition.
Hotel and restaurant men are pre
paring to send a powerful lobby to
Salem in the interest of an amend
ment to the liquor control act to
permit the sale of hard liquor in
eating places with or without meals.
The free-power-for-nothing boys.
undaunted by the defeat of the
Grange Power bill in the recent
election can be expected to renew
their demand for a hydro-electric
commission with authority to con
struct state - owned transmission
lines. The old age pension bill is
due for a general revamping, pos
sibly into an old age insurance set
up along the lines suggested by La
bor Commissioner Gram. The au
tomobile association is sponsoring
dog bite" safety responsibility
measure which does not at all sat
isfy the compulsory insurance ad
vocates. Unemployment relief is
still a live issue with liquor profits
wholly inadequate to meet the need.
These are only a few of the prob
lems with which the lawmakers
will have to wrestle during their
stay in Salem. Governor-elect Mar
tin's planning commission is ex
pected to contribute a number of
others.
Neophytes in the house and sen
ate are breaking into print with an
nouncements of their intentions to
come to Salem, enact the govern
or's program and get home again
well before the expiration of the 40
days for which the constitution al
lows them to draw pay for their ser
vices. All of which gives the veter
an lawmakers a big laugh. For they
know that law making is not so
simple a matter as that With the
views of 90 members to be recon
ciled to an acceptance of the great
est good to the greatest number
and with constituents and lobby
ists pulling and hauling this way
and that in their efforts to influ
ence legislation, the forthcoming
session can be depended on to be
just as interesting as any of those
that have gone before and to run
all of the allotted 40 days and
nights and then some.
Society folk in the capital city
are looking forward with a great
deal of pleasurable anticipation to
the coming of Governor and Mrs
Martin to Salem in January. They
have already arranged for the lease
of a beautiful home in the Fair
mount hill district of south Salem
and are expected to enter actively
into the social life of the city to
which they will be introduced at a
reception and ball to be given in
the armory on the night of Janu
ary 14.

"WHAT IS THAT TO THEE?
FOLLOW THOU ME." Jesus Christ
was walking along the shores of
Galilee and was followed by Peter.
Peter looked back and saw John
coming along behind; he imme
diately grew jealous and asked
Christ what John was tagging along
for, and received the answer above
noted.
The meetings with Teddy Leavitt
are drawing to a close; just a few
more days now and they will be
history.
What are you doing about your
relationship to God, to Jesus Christ,
to Christian living? Talking about
others is no answer to this quesn
tion; criticising others is no an
swer to ths question; feeble and
petty and futile alibis is no answer
to this question.
Waiting to see what my husband
or wife or sister or friend or neigh
bor is going to do is no answer to
the question as to what we are go
ing to do about answering the call
to Christian service in Christ's own
Church.
Waiting for some one else to take
the right step is a very poor excuse
for our failing to answer the pray
er of Jesus for the oneness of His
people.
What are you going to do with
Jesus? Are you gong to boldly
step out and follow Him in His
way? Do so before these meetings
close.

O.S.C. Agricultural Staff
Confers on Big Program
How to bring to Oregon through
out the coming year the maximum
advantages from state and federal
aids to agriculture will be the chief
theme of the annual agricultural
staff conference at Oregon State
college December 17 to 20, Inclusive.
This conference, called by W. A.
Schoenfeld, dean and director of ag
riculture, will include all of the reg
ular and emergency members of
the county extension staffs, the
branch experiment station superin
tendents, and the resident staff in
extension, experiment station and
resident instruction division. While
a number of out of state officials
will be present to take part in the
conference, most of the program is
devoted to intensive consideration
of Oregon's situation in relation to
national and regional programs.
Several members of the staff, In
eluding Dean Schoenfeld and F. L.
Ballard, vice-director of the exten
sion service, have recently returned
from conferences in Washington,
D. C, where they were called in
connection with the latest agricul
tural developments. They will re
lay the information gained to the
entire staff here in Oregon.
Among those to take part in the
program who are not on the local
staff are W. A. Rockie, superinten
dent of the Pacific Northwest soil
erosion station at Pullman; Harry
B. Carroll, advisor of the rural re
habilitation program; Clifford L.

In carrying out its national pro

culture is making more and more
use of the extension and research
organizations of the various states,
says Dean Schoenfeld. Only thru
maintaining complete and efficient
state organizations can the full ben
efits of these national projects be
obtained for Oregon, he says.
Plans will be discussed at the con
ferences for shaping the general re
search, extension and teaching pro
grams in agriculture so as to fit in
most completely with the present
national trends in agriculture. Ef
fort is being made to retain as
much as possible of the normal ser
vice activities of the organizations
throughout the state in the face of
the greatly increased emergency de
mands on the time and efforts of
the staff.
Eugene Lane county farmers
purchased 36,000 pounds of Grimm
alfalfa seed in 1934, a survey by
County Agent O. S. Fletcher shows.
This was enough to plant approxi
mately 3000 acres of alfalfa, and
while many farmers probably failed
to obtain stands because of adverse
weather conditions, Mr. Fletcher
estimates that not less than 2700
acres of this crop were successfully
established in Lane county this
year. This is a considerable In
crease over the previous alfalfa
acreage In the county, he says.
