No Oregon resident can right fully "hold up his head" because of the shameful overcrowding and other deplorable conditions at the various state institutions said Robert S. Farrcll, secretary of state, at an open meeting of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce Friday at the Holland Hotel. Farrell urged his listen ers to vote for the bill authoriz ing a tax levy for a state build ing fund at the special state elec tion June 22. Prefacing his remarks by an explanation of the slate's basic tax system, Farrcll emphasized the fact that the money needed to enlarge and properly equip the state's institutions is already on hand but that due to the me chanics of the state income tax law and the six per cent limita tion law, voters must authorize the special levy which in reality they will never pay because the existing income tax money off sets it. Program Explained Explaining the contemplated building program, Farrell said that it would be in the nature of a post-war program and would include new buildings needed for the state's educational insti tutions as well as new buildings and enlargements for such insti tutions as the state hospital, the state schools for boys and girls and the Fairview home for men tally deficient, persons. Making an example of the boys' training school, the state official declared that this is so overcrowded that boys can be admitted only when an equal number are discharged. The state hospital for the insane has 200 more patients than it was built to accommodate, and pa tients even sleep in the halls, Farrell said. Fairview has 100 more than it should be required to care for and a large wailing list, he added. "In Oregon we don't think how much can we do for these unfortunate wards of the slate," he said, "but how little we can do for them." No Boondoggling Farrcll further explained how the ten million dollar building fund would be administrated and assured his audience that there would bo "no boondoggling." Previously the state officer had declared that he believed federal funds should be used for only two types of projects, highways 6 I; Tuntvd ami Tempered Slop talking about the wcntlicr do something about It I Wlirn It's cold yon wear nn overcoat so when It'a hot wear a Michncls-Strrn Rochester tailored tropical worsted.

The state now has a fund of $15,625,221, Farrell said, of which five million has been set aside "for a rainy day" and ten million of which is surplus and cannot be spent without authori zation by the voters, which is asked in the special election. "In order to use this surplus, the vot ers must vote a ten mill levy on real properly, five mills this year and five next year," he ex plained. "The tax commission will levy the tax and then the in come tax surplus may be used to wipe the tax out. The legislature cannot authorize the use of the income surplus because of the six per cent limitation law. This levy wjll be merely the mechan ical device for making use of the existing money. You are not voting additional tax collections on your property." Development Reviewed The state official opened his talk by reviewing state develop ment phases, speaking of a tim ber program in the Scappoose district, of the land "blocking" program in the Malheur county area, of oil and natural gas de velopment projects near Clat skanie and of the Coos Bay coal operations.
