CAPITAL INC WO
Expenses Cut
Executive Clemency
The Tax Dollar
By A. L. LINDBECK
SALEM. S t a t e appropriations
for the forthcoming biennium set
forth in the new budget as having
been approved by. Governor Meier
total $10,017,952. This amount, ac
cording to Henry Hanzen. budget
director, is $1,205,199 less than the
appropriations made by the legis
lative session of 1933 and $5,450,136
under the appropriations for the bi
ennium of 1929-30.
In spite of a normal increase in
the populations of state institutions
and the materially Increased cost of
commodities used by these Institu
tions the budgets for all of the in
stitutions have been held down to
the level of the current biennium.
Salaries and wages have also been
approved on the basis of the leeis
lative cuts decreed by the 1933 ses
sion with a recommendation that
the pay cuts be continued for an
other two years.
No major capital outlays have
been approved by the governor in
the new budget but a supplemental
budget listing building needs at the
various institutions totalling $1,174.
725 Is being submitted to the legis
lature without recommendation.
Diversion of a portion of the mill
age revenues of the department of
nigner education to the state's gen
eral fund as was done two years
ago when $508,000 was taken in this
manner, is again recommended by
the governor.
The budget director renews his
recommendations that all self-sustaining
and revenue producing de
partments be required to appear be
fore the ways and means committee
end justify their expenditures in
the same manner as do departments
depending upon appropriations. He
also recommends that all state ac
tivities be required to submit quar
terly statements of expenditures to
gether with estimates of expendi
tures for the ensuing quarter and
that the governor be empowered to
eliminate any expense item which
he might consider to be unneces
sary.

Governor Meier has extended ex
ecutive clemency to 150 inmates of
the Oregon penitentiary during the
past iour years, according to rec
oras at the state prison. Of this
number 35 were under sentence for
murder and six for manslaughter.
A total of 122 prisoners have been
liberated on conditional pardons
issued ty tne governor. Prison rec
ords show that Governor West is
sued 181 conditional pardons, Gov
ernor Withycombe 162, Governor
Pierce 135, Governor Olcott 43,
Acting uovernor Ritner 27, Govern
or Patterson 25 and Governor Nor
blad 21.
Thirty-six prisoners have had
their sentences reduced through
commutations granted by Governor
Meier. Eighteen of this number
were serving life sentences for
murder and of these 15 have now
been released. Two other men un
der sentence to hang for murder
have had their sentences commuted
to life imprisonment
In addition to the penitentiary
inmates who have been extended
executive clemency the governor
has granted conditional pardons to
106 persons sentenced to terms In
county jails for minor violations of
the law. Of this number 32 were
under sentence for drunken driving.
Profits from the sale of hard liq
uor in state stores and agencies
had passed the $500,000 mark on
November 30, according to a report
by Administrator Sammls. Indi
vidual liquor permits issued this
year expire on December 30 and
new permits will be necessary after
the first of the year, the Liquor
Control commission warns.
Oregon property owners contrib
uted nearly $9,000,000 less toward
the support of government this year
than they did in 1931, according to
the state tax commission. Except
for the counties all tax supported
activities show reductions In their
demands upon the property owner
during the four year perlor.
Port districts show the greatest
reduction in tax levies, the 1934 re
quirements being approximately
only 50 percent of those for 1931.
Tax levies for road purposes are
shown to have been reduced nearly
40 percent since 1931, due largely
to repeal of the market road tax
and the shifting of the burden for
support of secondary roads from
counties to the gasoline tax and
motor vehicle license fee revenues
of the state highway department.
Reductions in the state levy
against property amounted to 32
percent In the four year period due
in part to salary cuts and other
economies in governmental expen
ditures. Schools show a reduction
of only 15 percent In their aggre
gate tax levies since 1931 and city
levies are below those of 1931 by
only 13 percent.
County levies show an Increase of
more than 27 percent since 1931 due
largely to the old age pension and
Increased demands for direct re
lief. A summary of public expendi
tures compiled by the tax commis
sion shows that support of the com
mon schools took 40 percent of
the 1934 property tax dollar, 23 per
cent went toward the support of
city governments, 13 percent to

least, is indicated by the fact that
June this year un-helri its renutntinn
for being the most popular month
in which to take the matrimonial
plunge. Six marital knots were tied
in June this vear.
January nroved tn he the
popular month for the stork's ar
rival, with nine births recorded for
the month. That tha hahv
should choose to usher in a baby
year with such activity also sug
gests a trend toward normalcy. It
may be surmised that thA e-rnnrt
old bird has wearied toward the
close of the year, with no signs of
activity yet recorded for December.
Vital statistics for the year were
gleaned from the remHi In thA
office of the county clerk, augment
ed in the case of deaths from the
files of the Gazette Tmes. The flies
were used in order to list Morrow1
county residents who died
the county, in which case the place
of death is indicated.
