C.—Western states In general have found the balancing of their annual budgets a less difficult task than It has proved to be for those eastern commonwealths which raise and spend more money. This conclu slon is supported by financial stalls tics for all state governments for 1926 as prepared by the federal bureau of census. Oregon was one of seven out of the 11 states in the Pacific and mountain groups able to show an excess of rev enuo receipts over total governmental cost payments at the end of 1926. The excess of revenue In Oregon’s case, amounted to $1,080,000, which seemed small compared with Caiifor nia’s figure of $8(,082 000, but consld crably better than the $1,635,000 ex cess of expenditure reported by thi state of Washington. The total Oregon revenue was $22. 937 000, of which motor vehicle li censes furnished $5,967,000. general property taxes $5,148,000, gasoline ta> $3,219,000. Washington’s revenues to tail'd $31014,000, exceeding those ol Oregon by more than $8,000,000, which also represented approximately tke difference between the sums realized by the two Btates from their general property tax. The per capita general property tax levy was $5.76 for Oregon and $10.5? for Washington.
