Salem. With income, inheritance
and gift taxes pouring into the state
treasury at an unprecedented rate
state officials are now pondering the
problem of what to do with the
prospective surplus.
State Treasurer Leslie M. Scott
last week pointed out that recent
large collections of inheritance tax-

perty levies. A bill designed some
what along this line was introduced
in the last session but was defeated
by the legislators who "were not yet
convinced there would be any sur
plus revenues from income taxes.
Now that a surplus appears certain,
based upon 1941 collections to date

Only at the Round-Up is held this

50 entries this year and girls will
be judged not only for beauty but
for their costumes. Dolores is
shown wearing a gorgeous costume
of soft white buckskin, intricately
beaded and ornamented with fringe;
she made it herself and it took sev

black braids she has entwined otter
fur, and as a final fillip, has stuck

erintendent John C. Evans told the
board. The structure will be of con
crete construction faced with brick .
veneer. It will be two and three
stories high and more than 200 feet
long and will be located near the i
present receiving ward and north of
the main institution. Plans provide
for the addition of more ward space
as additional funds are made avail
able by future legislatures. The new ,
"work shop," according to Superin-
tendent Evans, will contain a ther
apy room, a pool, beauty parlor and
barber shop and will be as modern
in design and equipment as is to be
found in any similar institution in
the entire nation.
Appointment of Dr. Donald Wair
to be superintendent of the state
hospital at Pendleton was announc
ed by the board of control this weeK.
Dr. Wair was for many years assist
ant to Superintendent W. D. Mc-
Nary who resigned as head of the
Pendleton institution several mon
ths ago. The appointment of Dr.
Wair is in line with a policy adopt
ed by the board several years ago
under which competent subordin
ates are promoted to positions of
greater responsibility as vacancies
occur. Under this policy Dr. John
C. Evans, former asistant superin
tendent at the state hospital in Sa
em, became superintendent of the
institution upon the resignation of
Dr. R. E. Lee Steiner. Mrs. M. Wil
son Savage who received her train
ing as assistant to Superintendent
Clara Peterson Durbin of the state
industrial school for girls, is now
head of that institution. Dr. Horace
Miller, now superintendent of Fair-
view home, was formerly a member
of the medical staff of the state
hospital at Salem. Dr. J. M. Odell,
present superintendent of the east
ern Oregon tuberculosis hospital at
The Dalles, won his spurs as a mem
ber of the medical staff of the state
tuberculosis hospital at Salem.
George Alexander, warden at the
state prison, was formerly assistant
superintendent of state police and
was transferred only after E. C. Hal
ley, deputy warden had declined an
offer of promotion following the
death of Warden James Lewis.
In spite of the fact that the World
War Veterans State Aid commission
has sold a total of 2500 farm and city
properties in the past few years the
