Salem — Secretary ot State Olcott
has announced that his estimate of the
expenses of the State department for
the next two years is $8,775,396.47.
The budget is based upon estimates
submitted by the various departments
to provide the legislature with some
thing tangible for use as a basis in
making biennial appropriations. The
estimate is an increase of $802,075.64
over the expenses of the present bi
ennial period.
Under the law the various depart
ments must submit estimates to the
secretary of state not later than No
vember 15, and he must have a com
plete itemized statement ready for the
members of the legislature several
weeks before the beginning of the ses
sion.
“ The estimate includes $58,224.62
allotted by the emergency board to
meet deficiencies in sundry appropri
ations for the current biennial period
which were found to be inadequate for
the purposes intended,” said Secretary
Olcott.
“ Of the total estimate of $8,775,-
396.47 the sum of $1,650,588.51 is
provided for by fees, licenses, contri
butions and so forth, paid into special
funds which, under existing laws, can
only be used for specific purposes,
though it will be found that in some
cases the estimated receipts do not
fully cover the item of estimated ex
penses, and in others that they are in
excess thereof. The sum of $275,270
is derived from the Federal govern
ment and private subscriptions, which
are not paid over into the state treas
ury and disbursed upon warrants of the
secretary of state.
“ The special annual millage taxes,
that is one twenty-fifth o f a mill for
the Monmouth Normal school, three-
tenths of a mill for the University of
Oregon, four-tenths of a mil! for the
Oregon State Agricultural college and
one-fourth of a mill for road purposes,
aggregating $1,898,000; the annual
continuing appropriations,
$1,121,-
362.97, and the estimated amounts to
be provided for by appropriations by
the present legislative assembly, $3,-
889,095.64, making a total of $6,908,-
458.61, is the amount which under
existing laws must be provided for by
a direct tax on the people of the state
during the years 1915 and 1916.
Upon this latter amount, however,
is to be applied the estimated receipts
of the state treasury not applied by
law to some special purpose, aggregat
ing $952,118.94, leaving a net total of
approximately $5,956,339.67, which
will be required to be raised by taxa
tion and apportioned among the coun
ties of the state through the medium
of the annual tax levies for the years
1915 and 1916.
"O f the receipts from sundry source,
that is, those not applied by law to
some special purpose, only those eman
ating from the Corporation depart
ment, after deducting departmental
administration expenses; from the In
surance department, less $15,000 an
nually for departmental administration
expenses; from fees of the clerk of
the Supreme court; fees of the state
engineer, State department, Treasury
department, and the State Water
board are diverted to the general fund
for the payment of general govern
mental expenses.’ ’
Estimates of requirements for the
various state departments for 1915 and
1916 are:
Accounting department, $20,000;
county fairs, $95,400; state fair,
$172,2*6.27;
banking department,
$39.660; barbers’ examining board,
$6600; board of control,
$15,000;
bounty wild animals, $80,000; capitol,
Supreme court building and grounds,
$57,915; inspection child labor, $5000;

O. A . C. Preparing for
Farm ers’ Week Feb. 1
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis— More Oregon farmers and other
persons engaged in productive industry
than ever assembled before at the
Agricultural College Farmers’ Week,
will be on hand when the next session
opens on Febuaray 1.
This great
mobilization of the industrial interests
of the state will not be due to war or
other destructive causes, but to the
fact that closer and more extended co
operation than hitherto characterized
these annual gatherings has now been
effected. Much of the most important
work of the session will be do.ie in
groups rather than by individuals and
at the same time the previous high
standard of special, technical instruc
tion and demonstration will be carried
by specialists of the different depart
ments of college instruction.
Indeed the work of the course will
be unlike that of any similar course
ever before offered in Oregon. The
progressive citizens of the state who
will attend will be massed in conven
tions, congresses and conferences, and
their thoroughly organized and con
certed efforts will be brought to bear
in the solution of the most pressing
agricultural problems. It is impossible
to state just how many industrial and
social organizations will hold conven
tions here at that time, but enough
have already been arranged for to
make the occasion one of vast im
portance in the rapid and harmonious
development of the state.
West May Visit Belgium.
Salem — Governor West may go to
Belgium. He was invited Thursday
by the Belgium Relief committee to
accompany the relief to the war-
stricken little country.
His answer
was as follows: "While it is going to
be rather difficult for me to adjust my
affairs so as to meet this situation, I
feel it my duty to respond. However,
I will endeavor to give the committee
a definite answer within the next few
days.” The invitation was signed by
Samuel Hill, Octave Goffin, C. Henry
Labbe and Joseph Van Homissen.
judge, "and that is all the job is
worth.”
J. G. Moore, county treas
urer, who. according to the report of
the State department, had a shortage
of $116 in his accounts at the time of
the examination, declared that there
was never a shortage.
Crook Boundary Puzzle».
Gateway—There is much discussion
throughout Crook county as to whether
it still is intact or whether a portion
is Jefferson county. The district judge
rendered a decision in favor of the new
county but the case has been appealed
to the Supreme court. Should the Su
preme court uphold the district decis
ion, no less than three towns, Metolius,
Culver and Madras, are after the tem
porary county seat.

a member of the board o f directors of

for export fruit is heavier and that a
better condition in the apple market
is expected.
