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.
CAT SOUNDS ALARM
Greenwich, Conn. (U.R) An
early-morning alarm sent police
converging on the Round Hill
club. They caught the "burglar."'
It was Minnow, a pet cat, which
stepped on a floor alarm button
hidden under a rug.
