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

The memorial will probably
take the form of a railing around
the state of Oregon seal in the
center of the state capitol rotun

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. The average increase
for females was 21.9 according
to a bulletin just issued by the
state board of health.
A graph of the Years shows a
pattern that approximtaes signal
economical depressions or wars.
In the Deriod from 1903 tier.
iod of "hard times' to 1907 the
average for both sexes dropped
from 50.5 to 47.6. in 1918 (first
world war) there was a drop of
11.8 years. In 1943 (during World
War II) the drop was 2.9 years.
BILLS RECENTLY INTRODUCED
A bill to establish a state re
formatory for men 16 to 25 years
of age has just been introduced
by Rep. John Logan, Portland.
A house highway committee
bill increases penalties for truck
overloading and makes it man

A bill to reduce income taxes
for families with two or more
children has been prepared by
the house tax committee.
