PRUNINIG TIME Most legislative logicians have been approaching the budget bal ancing problem from the 'create more tax" angle. A few, however, reason that the economic angle needs first consideration, and trimming expenditures comes first. Recent talk of resorting to a state property tax (Oregon has had no such tax for nine years) also revives the courage of sales tax advocates. Do not be surpris ed to see a sales tax bill appear any day now. Senator Howard Belton, Canby, chairman of the big ways nd means committee has asked all department heads to revamp the budgets of their departments that were presented to the committee at the start of the (season. It is the economy-minded sen ator's concept that the commit tee should trim the budget down before attempting to create new tax resources. The deadline for presenting the worked-over reports is March 22. "When the amount needed for the next biennium is more defi nitely established, that will be the time to consider new taxes," says Senator Belton. TO RAISE WELFARE TAX The four and one half mill lim it now Imposed on counties for welfare purposes would be raised to six mills in a bill requested by the sub-committee of the ways and means committee. The six mill figure is only tentative as the bill is in the drafting stage but will be ready next week. "If such a bill would become law," said Rep. Frances Zieg ler, chairman of, the sub-committee, "the state could save ap proximately $100,000 a biennium in the state welfare budget." The state welfare commission has presented a budget calling for the expenditure of $72,000,000 for the coming biennium. This is an Increase of $12,000,000 over the welfare budget of the last bi ennium. MEMORIAL SANCTIONED A resolution to erect a memor ial to former Governor Earl Snell, former Secretary of State Robert place. The garden club will begin work in the city park Thursday of this week.

I'M To meet the need, Standard looked to the undeveloped Rangely oil field, 600 miles away in Colorado. , A new refinery was built. To keep coHtrf down, it had to run steadily . . . have con stant flow of product. So A certain minority in U. S. feels big companies Bhould be broken up though these companies have helped keep the nation strong. The U. S. was thankful for big companies in the last two world wars . . . and is now, in these critical times. This is a big country with big problems. To meet them it needs large and small companies. We'll continue doing a good big job for you and the nation, STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA plans ahead to serve you better S. Farrell, and former Senate Pre sident Marshall E. Cornett who were killed in a plane crash October 28, 1917, near Lakeview will doubtlessly be adopted by the house. The resolution was unanimously adopted by the senate thin week. The memorial will probably take the form of a railing around the state of Oregon seal in the center of the state capitol rotun da. For several sessions legisla tors have felt something should be built to prevent people from walking on the seal. The'resolu tion directs the governor to ap point a committee to raise funds for the memorial. LIFE SPAN WAVY The estimated average length of the life of males increased 18.4 in 48 years.
