of $73,439,602 Compare
With $71,880,270 in '38
By Paul W. Harvey, Jr.
Salem, Jan. 12. lP) Ore
gon's 1939 treasury receipts, fat
tened by liquor and gasoline
revenues, set an all-time recora
of $73,439,602, compared with
1938 receipts of $71,880,270.
The liquor revenues, includ
ing all liquor sBles, as well as
taxes, totaled $13,241,937, com
pared with $11,633,638 in 1938.
Gasoline taxes during the year
amounted to $12,030,305, an in
crease of $800,000 over the 1938
fleure.
Increases were reported for
nearly all other items except in
come taxes, which totaled $4,-
615,000, a drop of $1,100,000
from the previous year.
Motor Fees Up
' Motor vehicle registration and
license fees increased slightly to
$3,473,019, while inheritance and
Elft taxes dropped a small
amount to $535,702. The treas
ury's motor carrier account, conv
prising fees paid by motor
freight and passenger carriers,
set a new record of $1,246,020.
' Fees paid to the insurance and
corporation departments drop'
ped a small amount, totaling
$857,668 and $314,445, re
spectively. Came commission
fees and fines totaled $645,313.
The unemployment compen
sation commission's administra
tion fund, virtually all contrib
uted by the federal government,
totaled $685,788, while employ
ers' contributions to the commis
sion's trust fund were $5,713,
934. Government Helped
. The federal government con
tributed $2,846,524 during the
year for old age assistance, de
pendent children, blind persons,
crippled children and child wel
fare, while it gave $L' 2,067 for
highways.
Repayments of principal and
Interest on loans to World war
veterans, and sales and rentals
of property acquired by the vet
erans totaled $2,364,017, while
contributions of employers and
employes to the industrial acci
dent fund amounted to $4,282,-836.
; A once-wealthy man, now on
relief in Portland, laughed and
Joked when a public welfare
commission case worker called
on him.
"I was just wondering if I
could get some more to eat frbm
the federal surplus commodi
ties," he said.
"Yes, I'll give you an order.
Then you can go down and get
some," the girl answered.
"Where is the building?" he
asked.
When she told him, the Jovial
man broke down In tenrs.
"I'm sorry," he sobbed. "But
I built that building."
State officials are wondering
about the potential effectiveness
of the newly organized Oregon
Taxpayers' federation, headed by
Claude Buchanan, former Ben
ton county luijlslator.
There havu been many such
organizations before, but they
haven't succeeded in reducing
taxes. Many state leaders hon
estly hope the new one will ac
complish its aim, In spite of the
fact that there is considerable
agitation for more taxes so the
state could give substantial aid
to tile schools.
Buchanan sold the federation
wants better government for less
money.
And, speaking of taxes, the
state tax commission passed out
reminders today that Oregonlans
will have to pay about 25 per
cent more Income taxes this
year, the first payment due
April 1.
. Passenger traffic doesn't
amount to much of a railroad's
gross revenue, but without it,
the roads would be in an even
worse woy.
During 1938, revenues of rail
roads in Oregon totaled $32,235,
994, of which freight and pas
senger operations accounted for
81 and B per cent, respectively.
The Southern Pacific lines hod
the largest gross revenues, $14,
063,340, the Union Pacific being
second with $11,898,288. Then
followed Great Northern with
$1,363,561, Oregon Trunk $1,
114,342, Spokane, Portland and
Seattle $1,044,587, Oregon Elec
tric $613,768, and Northern Pa
cific $148,021.

Naval Program Now Before
Congress Causing Great
Concern Says Jap Official
By Relman Morln
Tokyo, Jan. 12. IP) Expan
sion of the United States navy
would precipitate building
race with Japan, newspapers
predicted and a Japanese navy
spokesman hinted today. One
newspaper called expansion
"the American menace."
"Naturally the Japanese navy
feels great concern," the navy
spokesman said of the 81,300,
000,000 American naval pro
gram now before congress.
"Apparently It is designed to
maintain the United States' sup
erior ratio even after lapse of
the Washington treaty."
This treaty, which expired
Jan. 1, 1837, fixed the United
States' naval ratio to Japan at
S to 8.
Asked If he meant that the
Japanese navy would be in
creased, he said, "You can im
agine what action would take
place."
Implications Seen
The spokesman said eon
construction of 52,000-ton
United States, warships, men
tioned as a possible early de
velopment by Admiral Harold
lR. Stark, chief of U. S. naval
I operations, would "concern all
naval powers,"
He commented also that as
signment of Admiral Claude
Charles Bloch to the Hawaiian
district "may be a measure to
strengthen the United States'
navy against Japan." Admiral
Bloch has just concluded two
years as commander-in-chief of
the United States fleet.
Reappearance of the Ameri
can proposal for naval Im
provements at the Island of
Guam was characterized by the
spokesman as "not graceful
attitude," In view of the con
gress' previous rejection of it
