o $106 Million
o Fair Exhibit
o Balanced Budget
By A. L. LINDBECK
Salem A total of $106,219,433.29
will be required to finance the nu
merous state boards, bureaus, com
missions, departments and institu
tions during the next biennium, ac
cording to estimates by State Bud
get Director Wallace S. Wharton.
Only $1,078,008.03 of this amount,
however, will be raised through tax
levies against real property, if esti
mates advanced by the" state tax
commission prove correct. Income
taxes are expected to yield $10,351,
468.23 during the next two years
and miscellaneous revenues accru
ing to the general fund during the
biennial period are estimated at $3,
800,000. By far the greater portion of this
huge financial program will come
from sources other than property
and income taxes. Gasoline taxes
alone are expected to produce $22,
594,000 with automobile license fees
and operators' licenses contributing
another $6,376,140 and truck and bus
licenses and fees adding still an
other $2,240,000 toward the support
of the highway department and the
state police. Revenues of the state
liquor commission for the biennium
are estimated at $17,007,141 from the
sale of liquor and permits alone
with $2,023,105 more to come in from
license and privilege taxes. .Cost of
the. liquor to be sold through the
state system during the next two
. years is estimated at approximately
$11,000,000. Of this amount, together
witn tne overneaa costs or tne com
mission must be deducted from the
commission's revenues before the
"profits" can be taken out for sup
port of the state relief program.
Federal funds also play a big part
in the financing of state functions.
The unemployment compensation
commission, for instance, expects to
call on Uncle Sam for a total of $13,
393,550 with which to pay the claims
of jobless workers during the bien
nium while the highway commission
is counting strong on federal aid for
its road program to the extent of
$5,378,000.
Inheritance taxes are expected to
yield $900,000 during the biennium,
corporation taxes for the two years
are estimated at $655,000, licenses
paid by isurance companies, $1,700,
000, hunting licenses $1,063,487 and
fees and licenses collected by the
Jish commission, $321,000.
Revenues of the state's numer
ous self-sustaining activities, other
than those classified as revenue-raising,
are estimated at $1,733,313. Of
this amount $603,000 will be raised
through forest patrol levies.
Oregon is at least to make a start
toward a creditable agricultural ex
hibit at the San Francisco World's
fair. The emergency board meeting
here last week authorized the ex
penditure of $15,000 in the construc
tion of a booth to house the agricul
tural display. Additional funds will
be sought at the hands of the leg
islature with which to maintain the
display during the fair.
Progress on the new state library
The name of Noble wherever cow
boys ride signifies highest quality
in saddles, and it may be news to
some of the proud possessors of these
saddles who have not visited the lo
cal factory that it is not a preten
tious streamlined, whistle-tooting
concern of monstrous machines
seething with , hordes of sweating
workers but a neat little two-man
shop, a shop where E. G. Noble and
Joe Snyder, two craftsmen of the
old school, ply their trade unpre
tentiously but conscientiously. And
though this factory has taken on
some signs of streamlining of late,
the owner of a "Noble" or "Heppner"
saddle would be safe in gambling
that every dot and flourish in the
stamping, every stitch and rivet go
ing into its assembly was placed
there by the man whose name the
saddle bears.
It, is only when a considerable
rush of orders or illness on the part
of Mr. Noble makes it impossible for
him to keep up with the slowing de
mand for horse millinery that the
man whose name has been connect
ed with fine saddles for more than
half a century impresses his helper
into the saddle making department.
But even then it would take a prac
ticed eye, indeed, to detect where
is much more rapid than had been
anticipated. Miss Harriett Long, state
librarian, expects to begin moving
into the new building about the mid
dle of December. It is expected that
two weeks time will be required to
move the nearly 400,000 volumes to
the new stacks, working crews in
two shifts of eight hours each.
Dalles Prepares
Big Welcome for
E. O. Wheat League
The Dalles Harry L. Brown, as
sistant secretary of agriculture, from
Washington, D. C, Governor-elect
Charles A. Sprague and Senator
elect Rufus Holman will be featured
speakers on the program of the East
ern Oregon Wheat league here De
cember 2 and 3, according to the
program issued by officers of the
league.
The coming of these state and na
tional leaders, added to the previous
list of important program events,
makes certain, in the opinion of lo
cal committee members, that the
convention here will be the largest
in the eleven-year history of the
league.
Brown is coming direct from
Washington, D. C, to appear on the
program, where he will discuss the
relationship of the Pacific north
west wheat industry to the national
wheat program. He will be heard
Saturday forenoon and will also
confer with committees in charge of
drawing up reports on the national
farm program. Sprague will be the
principal banquet speaker Friday
evening, while Holman is scheduled
to speak on Saturday.
The Dalles business men have
joined hands with Wasco county
farmers in preparing an outstanding
welcome and program of entertain
ment for the hundreds of wheat far
mers expected at the convention.
Leading business houses are prepar
ing elaborate window displays em
phasizing the wheat industry. An
early morning boat trip around the
harbor and docks has been ar
ranged to explain the facilities be
ing developed for joint rail, water
and truck transportation. A comedy
pageant featuring the building of
the Bonneville dam is being pre
pared as an entertainment feature at
the banquet.
Members of the committee in
charge of local arrangements are
Harold Sexton, sheriff; Emil Schano,
vice-president of the wheat league;
W. W. Lawrence, county agent; W.
S. Nelson, secretary of The Dalles
Chamber of Commerce; Charles
Harth, William Ragsdale, Harry
Ragsdale, and L. Wernmark.
Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Ferguson and
children are going to Adams to spend

one left off and the other began, for
both Gene and Joe graduated from
the same school, in fact spent many
of their years together in the shop
here, and each exemplifies the nice
ties of their period craftsmanship.
Such products of manufacture are
becoming ever rarer in this highly
mechanized age. Hence it is not
strange that while Mr. Noble was
finishing a saddle for a man up in
Washington the other day another
outside man, an official holding a
substantial position with a large
company, walked into the shop and
inquired about having some leather
shaving kits made. So it is that the
type of craftsmanship that has made
Noble saddles famous is bringing a
demand for it in other leather ar
ticles. Oh, yes, the streamlining process,
you ask? Well, Gene and Joe moved
into a new location a few months
back and since have painted it in
side and out. Joe just completed a
piece of streamlined wood handi
work to increase capacity for win
dow display and conveniences are
being installed for patrons of the
shoe repair department. Still, the
cheerful big wood heater in back
continues to be the spot where many
gentry of the town assemble and
discuss topics of the day.

possible.
