6 Heppner Gazette Times, July 23, 1942 STATE CAPITAL NEWS o War-Time Budget o No County CO's o Upped Values By A. L. LINDBECK Salem The budget which Gov ernor Sprague will present to the next legislature for its consideration will be a "streamlined war-time budget" he told news men this week. That is, he explained, it will be pared down to absolute necessities. The new budget, the governor said, will take into consideration numerous salary increases as well as increases in commodity costs. "The state is having a great deal of difficulty in keeping key men on the job in the face of better pay offered by private industry and the federal government," Governor Sprague said. "But as an offset to the pay scale there will be a reduction in the number of people on the state payroll. A number of state depart ments are finding it possible to op erate with less help now since the demand upon their services has been substantially reduced. We are also short-handed at some of the state institutions where it has been found impossible to replace exper ienced professional help." Another saving would be made in capital outlays, the governor point ed out, with typewriters and auto mobiles being rationed. The governor said that he thought the legislature should continue the appropriations made by the last ses sion for new state buildings a $1, 000,000 office building and a $325, 000 treatment hospital at the state institution for the mentally ill and to make additional appropriations for other badly needed buildings so that this work could be undertaken without unnecessary delay after the war ends when there will be a need for work of this type to take up some of the slack in employment.

And when you learn the price, you'll wonder how John Deere can give you so much in a tractor that sells for so little. In addition, the Model "H" not only burns low cost fuel but it uses only 13 to 12 as much fuel on the many jobs within its power range, as would larger tractors handling the same load. Come in, see it, and get "the surprise of your life." BRADEN-BELL TRACTOR & EQUIPMENT CO. gible for military service have been granted deferment as , conscientious objectors, according to records of the state selective service board. During the first World war Oregon produced only 17 conscientious ob jectors. The 124 includes men who would be classified in 1-A. Eighteen others with slight physical disqual ificatons have also been granted de ferment as conscientious objectors as also have a number who were found to be totally unfit for military service. Multnomah county with one-third of the state's population is credited with 25 conscientious ob jectors, or one-fifth of the state's total. Linn county with 13 and Yamhill with 11 have the greatest number in proportion to population. Morrow county has no conscientious objectors so far. An increase of $3,282,835.58 in the assessed valuation of public utilities in Oregon from $168,867,974.87 in 1941 to $172,150,810.45 in 1942 is re ported by the state tax commission. The apportioned valuation of util ities in Morrow county was increas ed from $2,380,254.21 to $2,448,576.83. There will be no state fair in Oregon this year. This definite an nouncement was made by Governor Sprague following a conference with J. D. Mickle, state director of agri culture and Leo Spitzbart, manager of the fair. Cancellation of the fair was decided upon because of the tire shortage as well as labor sit uation, the governor said. Judging of Four-H exhibits which win blue ribbons at county fairs will be car ried on at the fair grounds during the week usually given over to the fair and the annual sale of Four-H club fat stock will be held as usual except for the boys and girls in charge of the stock on its way to market none of the club members will come to Salem as in normal years. The old bull -dog of the navy of an earlier era, the battleship Oregon, now resting snugly in Portland har bor, may yet be called on to do its bit in the present conflict. The war production board has written Governor Sprague suggest ing that the state contribute the battleship, "to be used as deemed wise by those in authority at Wash ington, D. C." In reply the governor has express ed the state's willingness to sur render its claim to the ship to the navy deparmen but only on the re quisition of the secretary of the navy. In offering the ship to the war effort, if and when needed, the governor expressed the hope that "the Oregon could go forth as a fighting unit, either remodeled into an air-craft carrier or something of the sort, and not just be melted down in scrap or junked." David Eccles, former state budget director but more recently assigned the job of coordinating Oregon's in dustrial development, is back in Salem where he will devote the next few months to a study of the tax problem with a view to prepar ing a report for the benefit oi the next legislature. Careless smokers who toss their burning cigarettes onto the highway while driving through forested areas are liable to find themselves explain ing their careless habits to some justice of the peace this summer. The state police as well as all state forestry officials have been instruct ed to strictly enforce the law which prohibits such practice in the effort to "keep Oregon green." The state, which only recently ac quired an old natatorium at Baker with a view to converting it into an armory, is now returning the build ing to the ciy which will rent it to a newly organized company which will engage in the manufacture of war materials. Governor Sprague and State For ester TCels Rogers spent the first three days of this Week on a tour of the coast counties inspecting fire protection preparations and the op eration of the forestry development program. The officials visited the Hamlet station in Clatsop county where considerable reforestation work is in progress, the Tillamook burn area where salvage operations are being carried out, and the El liott state forest in western Doug las county. The state police have been engag ed in a roundup of slot machines the past few weeks. The round-up was ordered by Governor Sprague at the request of Lieutenant General J. L. DeWitt, commander of the western defense area, who was particularly interested in the removal of these nickle-grabbers from areas in which troops are stationed. State departments and institutions contributed 61.36 tons of rubber in the recent drive, it was reported by the board of control. The state has also contributed 194.96 tons of scrap metal to the war effort so far. NOTICE OF FINAL ACCOUNT Notice is hereby given that F. W.
