By WILLIAM WARREN Salem (U.R) When the slate of Oregon goes to the cupboard at the end of the prfsent bien nium it' will not find it bare, as Mother Hubbard did. In tact the financial bone the state will find is an estimated $35,000,000 surplus instead of the deficit that officials had antici pated only a year ago. More Than Expected The reason is that income tax and corporate excise taxes have brought in more money than ex pected by millions of dollars. At the beginning of this cur rent biennium, $42,000,000 was available as a carryover from the previous biennium. Some of the state's best versed officials had estimted that this cushion would disappear and a deficit take its place by the next biennium. But savings in state budgets plus the unexpected flood of revenue into the income and ex cise tax coffers now bring pre dictions of the 34 million dollar carry-over at the start of the next biennium. Money To Be Saved Thure A. Lindstrom, research director for the State Tax com mission, told the legislative In terium Tax committee here that only an unexpected slump in in come tax collections could up set his predictions. He said his committee. investigation had showed there would be $2,000,000 in unex pended balances July 1, 1952. Another $3,000,000 would be saved on state requirements. And $2,000,000 would be real ized over estimates on miscel laneous revenue. Delay in the sale of Oregon's veterans bonus bonds held up for several months by the fed eral credit restraint committee but now given the green light represents another $1,500,000 to the state general fund this bi ennium the sum saved on in terest payments on the $48,000, 000 worth of bonds. Another mil lion and a half will be gained in liquor receipt transfers. Income Tax Above Estimate Lindstrom said at the present rate of income tax collections there will be $15,000,000 col lected in personal income taxes above the estimates contained in the present state budget and an other $7,000,000 increase in cor porate excise tax collections. The picture drawn by Lind strom was so rosy that Interim Committee Chairman Eugene E. Marsh of McMinnville said all thought of proposing new sources of revenue to the 1953 legislature might be dropped at this time, and his suggestion was unanimously adopted by the 3ank Said Best Place To Cash Bad Checks Hood River (U.R) Joseph Tennant, who listed San Diego. Calif., as his hometown, said Tuesday the "easiest places to cash bad checks are the banks." It didn't quite work out that way for Tennant when author ities nabbed him masquerading as a Catholic priest and attempt ing to pass a forged $30 check in a Hood River bank. Sheriff R. L. Gillmouthe said Tennant was charged with try ing to obtain money under false pretenses. The suspect admitted crossing the continent "three or four times" in the past year, passing checks In sums of $25 and $30 while dressed In the black cloth of the clergy, the sheriff said.
