HAVE SOME WORRY
Comes now that chary Scotts
man George Aiken, director of the
state budget, advising the gover
nor's tax study committee that the
departments dependent upon the
general fund for support will re
quest about $12, 400,000 more than
estimated revenues during the next
two bienniums.
We, like many others, are not
allergic to cashing in on that trite
old phrase "I told you so." Dur
ing the last legislative session this
column carried a prediction of
state financial stress. When figures
on state income tax revenues and
liquor profits of normal years are
compared with present day expen
ditures with the tangents of infla
tion or depression periods. "Fol

Amens from some of the state's
best fussbudgets and budget fus

right we were. Governor Earl Snell

Now, less than three months af
ter victory, the "anvthins can hap
pen" days are here. Inflation ten
dencies are mushrooming, the cost
of government is zooming and the
government is zooming and the
state budget director is singing our
theme song.
I told you so!
PAYROLLS SLIPPING
Oregon's industrial Davroll is
down nearly ten million dollars
rrom the figures of one year ago, a
drop of 20 percent. Payrolls of firms
covered by the state industrial ac
cident commission totaled .$41,289
,262 in September, comrjared with
$45,885,689 in August, and $50, 263,-
527 in September 1944.
BANKRUPT'S TAXES
A person who is bankrupt is not
relieved of paying taxes levied by
the state or any of its subdivisions.
This includes county city and dis
trict taxes and all special taxes
and licenses of any levied taxes
nature. This opinion, written by
Justice Kelly and just handed down
by the Oregon supreme court, re
verses a Polk county circuit court
ruling which relieved a bankrupt
from paying overdue contributions,
interest and penalties accrued un
der the terms of the workmen's
compensation act.
TO ALTER GI TUITIONS
Governor Earl Snell has request
ed United States Senator Guy Cor
don to support amendments to the
law which will prohibit charging
non-resident fees for resident vet
erans at our schools of higher
learning.
In his message to Senator Cordon
the governor said; "As you recall,
the original G. I. bill contained a
clause permitting schools to charge
non-resident tuition for resident
veterans. It seems to me that will
be mighty difficult to justify this
additional charge even though the
veteran's money is furnished by
the federal government. I strongly
favor the . amendment which would
eliminate any such possibility.
ATTORNEY GENERAL'S
OPINIONS GIVEN
Small loan companies are for
bidden from collecting extra fees
in making loans, such as mortgage
lateral . . . When an out-of-state
fees when property is used for col
resident applies for a loan in Ore
gon, the Oregon law applies ... A
county court cannot use money for
funds other than the welfare fund
for public assistance. This prevents
the use of emergency funds . . .
The expenses of board and room
if necessarily incurred by the vet
eran in order to enable him or her
to attend an educational institution
will be allowable under the Oregon
tributing to the delinquency of a
laws. . . . Persons accused of con
minor may be tried by county
courts. The' judge, however, can
not send a person convicted in the
county court to the penitentiary.
BILLION IN PROPERTY

1930. Of the $1,084,558,171.87 worth

$9,000,000,000 mark.
