balancing the budget. The prob
lera confronting the Oregon law
makers is no simple sixty-four
dollar question. It is more like
a $64 million question $63 mil
lion to be more nearly exact.
This huge deficit in the general
fund budget is accounted for by a
$-15 million gap between the $200
million budget presented to the
legislature by the governor and
the $155 million in available
revenues under existing statutes,
phjs an $18 million building
program.
The House tax committee, in
which all revenue measures must
originate, has trimmed the bud
get deficit down to $55 million
by the simple expedient of arbi
trarily lopping $8 million off the
building requests presented by
the board of control and the
board of higher education. This
gap can only, be bridged by cut
ting budget requests or by in
creasing state revenues.
In any state but Oregon this
problem would be a compara
tively simple one. The legisla
ture would work out a program
of new levies that would produce
the required amount and pass it.
In Oregon this problem is com
plicated by a constitutional pro
vision which precludes the use of
the emergency clause on a reve
nue measure. This leaves all
revenue measures wide open to a
referendum for 90 days after the

Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Cutsforth
returned from Salem where they
were called last week by the ill
ness of an aunt of Mrs. Cuts
forth.
Mrs. W. I. Miller of La Grande
reports that her son Pvt. Earl L.
Miller has been among those re
cently sent from Fort Leonard
Wood, Mo., to Europe. ,Earl was a
resident 'of Lexington for some
time, graduating from this school
and making his home with an
aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. C.
C. Jones.

special Easter services at the
Lexington Christian church.
legislature adjourns. Oregon is
the only state whose legislature
operates under such a restriction.
And past experience has shown
that opponents of tax measures
are quick to avail themselves of
the referendum privilege.
Oregon has not levied a tax
against property for state pur
poses since 1941 and it is the
policy of the legislature to leave
that field to the local taxing
units so far as possible. In fact
a statute approved by the voters
in 1952 limits a state property
levy, if one should ever become
necessary, to six mills plus an
additional amount to cover bond
retirement and interest.
The House committee's tax pro
gram sets out to recapture a mil
lion dollars appropriated two
years ago to finance construction
of a new reformatory and picks
up $6.5 million in additional
revenue from the personal in
come and corporate excise tax
over the estimate on which the
budget deficit is based. Both of
these items have been branded
as "wishful thinking" by veteran
legislators most familiar with
the state's financial picture. It
also relies on a $2 million cut
in budget requests which so far
has not materialized. In fact
indications now are that the bud
get will be above, rather than
below, $200 million by the time
the legislature completes its
work.
The committee expects to pick
up $4 million through an in
crease in the price of liquor, $2
million more by bringing public
utilities under the corporate ex
cise tax, $3.7 million by increas
ing the withholding tax from one
to two percent and $10 million by
a tax of three cents a pack on
cigarettes. This latter levy faces
almost certain referral to the
voters.
The backbone of the new tax
program, however, provides for
an increase in the personal in
come tax. This is to be accomp
lished, first by reducing exemp
tions and dependency credits
from SHOO to $500, secondly by In
creasing the tax rates, and third
ly by application of a surtax of
from 5 to 10 percent, dependent
upon the amount necessary to
complete the budget balance.
This latter part of the tax pro
gram is already under heavy fire
from labor and farm groups be
cause, percentage wise at least,
it bears more heavily on incomes
in the lower brackets than on
those in the higher brackets. In
any event it is generally predict
ed that it will be subjected to
close scrutiny and probable dras
tic revision by the senate tax
committee which received the
tax program only last week.
END IN SIGHT
Legislators made bad news for
the taxpayers last week but
there was one bright spot. They
are going to quit two weeks
earlier than they planned.
The surprise passage by the
House of 32 per cent boost in
income taxes started a reaction
against a generally accepted
view that the Legislature would
continue through May.
The sine die date now Is ex
pected to be April 23, which
would be a normal 104-day ses
sion. Two days less than the
record session of 1949.
The income tax increase is ex
pected to produce $24,500,000 and
a cigarette tax of 3 cents a pack
is estimated will bring $10,100,
000. Both measures are certain
to be subjected to referendum.
Rep. Loren Stewart, (R) Cottage
Grove, chairman of the House tax
committee, has started a move
to have a special election this
summer, if referendum petitions
are filed against the bills. Legis
lation is being drafted for a spe
cial election, if needed, to de
termine as early as possible what
the voters want.
CAPITAL PARAGRAPHS
If you expect to make a trip
to the capital soon this tip may
help. The Salem Traffic Safety
Council, in a get tough move, ad
vises that jaywalkers in the main
part of the city and the capital
zone be arrested.
The Oregon Journal has an
nounced that Larry Smyth, its
political editor, will resign as as
sistant to Interior Secy. McKay,
May 1 and return to his Portland
position. Douglas McKean, pre
sent political editor now cover
ing the legislature for the Jour
nal, is to return to his Portland
City Hall assignment.
State bulletin: "In the opinion
of the Attorney General and'eon
curred in by the state department
of finance and administration, no
driver of a state automobile may
ask for or accept trading stamps
in connection with the purchase
of gasoline, oil or any other pur
chase by state credit cards. This
will be considered as receiving
gifts."
When Secy, of Interior McKay
visits Europe next month he
hopes to visit the Neuse-Argonne
region in Frnce where he was
wounded.
