Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
FOE YEARS It has been known
that the state of Oregon baa a fi
nancial deficit, but nobody haa known
just HOW BIO the deficit la. The
publlo haa heard mucb talk about
It, but no facta.
nv.in.rf nnrlncera and accountants
of the state highway department
tackle the Job. and In a Htue w
than three daya Inform us that on
February 1 the cash deficit In the
state treasury will be 52,302,000.
That la fact-finding efficiency.
THE STORY "ofhow these trained
fact-llnders from the highway de
4 partment came to tackle the job or
running down the deficit la Interest
ing. The state treasury, short of money,
called on the highway department for
help In the form of a loan. The
highway department asked: "How
much do you owe already," and to
thla the treasury responded: "We
dont know exactly, but THINK it
i. about so much."
Whereupon the highway department
answered: "Very well, we'll sena w
our engineers and aocountanta and
FIND OUT what you owe. If It Isn't
too much, we'll help you"
-ith wAnTS nit tntabllshed by these
1 trained employees of the highway
department, are reassuring.
The state of Oregon hasn't ready
money enough at the present moment
to meet lta bills, but It ISN'T bank
rupt. With good management, reve
nues from PRESENT taxeB should be
aufflclent to meet all expenditures,
pay off the existing deficit and build
up a cash surplus of a HALF MIL
LION DOLLARS by May 1, 1939, or a
little better than two years hence.
Not a bad situation at all, Is It?
IN RECENT weeks the air haa been
full of rumors about the serious
financial condition of the state or
Oregon. These rumors have affected
unfavorably the state's credit.
But when the facts are finally es
tablished, it Is discovered that the
atute Is really In pretty fair condi
tion and that all the doubts regard
ing lta credit have been unjustified.
That la what happens when real
brains are applied to the public's
business.
a-l .
WERE la an Interesting little story:
Two years ago an oregon-Dorn
employee sent to the first vice-president
of the great General Motors Ac
ceptance corporation, as a Christmas
gift, 20 pounds of Oregon walnuts.
' He received an enthusiastic letter
of thanks, stating that the recipient
had never before known there were
such walnuts, and last year this same
employee was requested to buy several
consignments of Oregon walnuts to
be sent as gifts to friends of the official.
ANOTHER story along the same
line:
Two years ago an Oregon grower
won first prize for his walnuts at the
annual nut show. A few weeks later
he received from a large eastern candy
manufacturer a request to submit
samples of all his various grades.
He sent the samples, and a few
days later received by wire an order
for ALL the nuts he had left. A let
ter, following the wire, stated: "We
didn't know walnuts of such quality
were grown In this country."
HERE la the lesson:
The Oregon walnut la a QUAL
ITY product. As Its quality becomes
known In the markets, orders follow.
For It Is quality products that are In
demand these days.
If we are wise, here In Oregon, we
will specialize on quality products.
AND DON'T forget this: Quality
was never more Important than
NOW, when competition Is exceed
ingly keen.

One Solon Falls Hard
For Barnes Sales Tax
(By Mary Grelner Kelly)
SALEM, Jan. 24. (Spl.) Out of
the 100 people who crowded the com
mittee room In which was held the
public hearing on the Jackson Coun
ty homestead exemption bill last
night, only one man actually fell for
the idea. That was Dr. James A. Best
of Pendleton, a committee member,
who listened hard, lost his balance,
and tumbled, chair and all, off the
platform.
Aside from that, there was much
talk but no excitement. Former Gov
ernor Os West tried to start some,
when he began asking droll questions
on the merits of the bill.
His efforts to grab the spotlight,
however, proved futile, as Chairman
Nichols of Roseburg was not In the
mood for oratorical horseplay at that
hour. He immediately Insisted on a
Dutch lawyer by the name of Mc
Carthy, doing an Interpretative dance
on the constitutional aspects of the
bill.
J. C. Barnes was demonstrative In
his affection toward his brain child
as be heaped verbal caresses upon It
for a little more than an hour. Henry
Conger, well known Jackson county
Granger, followed him to the plat
form snd did his effective bit.

Shortly after Representative Ralney
of Illinois, democratic leader, had
said neither revision nor cancellation
might be expected from the confer

opened In the senate.

With two wonderful vacation trips
as major prizes, the contest Is creat

AUDIT DISCUSSED
iOURT
Matter of an audit for the county
books was discussed today at the
regular session of the county court
with all members present, but with
no decision.
Representatives of the Ray Lescher
Co., and the William R. Rauch and
Son auditing firms of Portland con
ferred with the county court this
morning. Representatives of other
auditing firms were scheduled this
afternoon.
It was hinted this morning that the
audit would cost "$6000 or $10,000."
This cost is regarded by the court as
too high. It Is figured that between
$4000 and $5000, or less, la ample, and
all the county finances can stand at
this time rtth relief demanding the
most attention,
Competltie bids will probably be
asked for the auditing, with the right
to accept or reject all bids. .
The county court also discussed
bids from oil companies for the fur
nishing of gasoline the coming year
for county machinery.
