Budget Deficit
Impure Air
District Carving
By A. L. LINDBECK
Salem. The legislative ways and
means committee, that reputedly
hard boiled body of senators and
representatives whose function it is
to pass on all requests for state
funds, appears to have become re
conciled to the restoration of a defi
cit in the state budget. This, too, in
spite of the fact that general fund
revenues for appropriation purposes
are aproximately $2,000,000 greater
than they were two years ago when
. the committee insited on a balanced
budget.
The carefully balanced budget pre
sented to the lawmakers by the gov
ernor was first thrown out of balance
when the ways and means committee
refused to approve the governor's
proposal that the income tax division
of the state tax commission be placed
on a self-sustaining basis. That ne
cessitated a general fund appropri
ation of some $306,000 and a book
keeping deficit of approximately
$240,000. This deficit was further
increased to in excess of $300,000 by
approval of other non-budgeted
items and predictions are that the
budget will be at least $500,000 in
the red before this session ends.
Reaction of the Oregon lawmakers
to the visit of the Washington dele
gation which came to Salem this
week to discuss Columbia river fish
ing problems, was anything but fa
vorable. Spokesmen for the visiting
legislators were very tactless in
presenting their views and their
"demands" served only to antagonize
the Oregon legislators to their plan
for a tri-state commission to ad
minister fishing problems on the
Columbia. Instead of coming to any
agreement between the states as had
been hoped the conference between
the legislators of the two states end
ed with a decision to ask for another
interim committee to make a further
study of the problems involved.
Members of both legislative bran
ches have done a lot of complaining
throughout the session about the air
in the House and Senate chambers.
Not that there is any scarcity of air
such as it is. It isn't the quantity but
the quality that is at fault. It seems
that when the capitol was construct
ed the planners made all arrange
ments for a complete air condition
ing unit but ran short of funds be
fore the installation could be com
pleted. There is now no provision
for washing and purifying the air
that is being continuously pumped
throughout the building. This the
lawmakers claim, is responsible for
the epidemics of colds and flu that
has confined many of the lawmakers
and their clerks to bed during the
session. So now a resolution has been
introduced calling upon the secretary
of state to make an immediate in
quiry into the cost of completing
the air-conditioning system with a
view to appropriating the necessary
funds at this session so that the im
provement can be made before the
lawmakers gather here for another
session.
At least four cities have entered
bids for new armories. These are
Baker, Grants Pass, Oregon City and
LaGrande. All of these bids are being
referred to the ways and means
committee for consideration but with
the budget already out of balance
prospects are not good for any arm
ory appropriations at this session.
The senate did not take kindly to
a proposal to abolish the State Land
Board and substitute a new State
School Fund commission for admin
istering school lands. A resolution
providing for a constitutional amend
ment covering this change was de
feated this week. The proposal was
sponsored by a group of senators at
the request of a group of Portland
educators who have been most out
spoken in their criticism of the land
board's policy of handling school
lands during the past few yeara
Come midnight Friday of this
week and the state legislature will
have been in session the full 40 days
Heppner
for which they are presumed to be
allowed pay at the rate of $3 per
day. Not that the constitution says
anything about 40 days. It merely
limits the pay of the lawmakers to
"a sum not exceeding $3 per day"
with the per diem allowance for any
one session fixed at a maximum of
$120, which divided by three ac
counts for the 40.
But the point is that with the
session now in its sixth week little,
if anything, has been accomplished
that can justify the session and such
major legislation as has been intro
duced still remains in the hands of
committees to which the bills were
assigned, some as early as the first
week of the session. Among these
are the speed bill, the big truck bill,
the legislative and congressional re
apportionment bills, the workmen's
compensation bills and the unem
ployment compensation bills.
While it still anybody's guess as
to how much longer the session will
run most observers around the cap
itol agree that it still has another
two weeks to go, although that will
depend largely upon the temper of
the lawmakers themselves.
Congressional reapportionment of
the state in anticipation of an in
crease in the state's representation
in Washington, has been boiled down
to the problem of carving another
district out of the big first district.
The House committee on reappor
tionment has definitely decided
against any change in the boundaries
of either the second or third dist
ricts and is now at work trying to
agree just where to divide the first
district. Two proposals are receiving
the serious consideration of the com
mittee. One of these would create
a new fourth district out of the
southern end of the first with Lane
county forming the northern boun
dary. This proposal would divide the
district fairly equally so far as area
is concerned but with the prepon
derance of population in the nor
thern district. The second proposal
would include Linn and Benton and
possibly Lincoln counties in the sou
thern district, making for a more
equtable distribution of the popu
lation in spite of the larger area
covered by the southern district.
Speaker Farrell did not get very
far with his plan to extend a bit of
relief to the Oregon motorists by re
ducing gasoline taxes from five to
four cents a gallon. Naturally the
highway commission, anxious tio
keep its hands on all the money in
sight, opposed the proposal. Only 10
members sided with the speaker, 49
voted negative.
