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.

JOHN DEE
You're in for the surprise of your life when
you see and drive the John Deere Model "H"
the sensational new small tractor that handles
two-row equipment and completely replaces
animal power on small and large farms every
where, cutting costs 'way below their former
level, and making farming more profitable.
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."

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.
