State Gives
Living to
5 Per Cent
fly the Associated Press
Five per cent of Oregon's pop
ulation was supported by the
state during 1937, Including 37,
000 on relief, 9000 on the state
payroll and 6500 In state Insti
tutions. The state payroll was about
11.000.000 a month, while $11,
300,000 was spent for all wel
fare activities.
Rising living costs raised per
capita costs at all 11 state in
stitutions. All Institutions finish
ed the year well within their
budgets.
The only major Institutional
appointment during the year waa
Dr. John Evans, assistant super
intendent of the Oregon State
hospital, to succeed Superintend
ent R. E. Lee Steiner, resigned.
The penitentiary's new lethal
gas chamber, authorised by the
1937 legislature, was installed.
New buildings authorised dur
ing the year included the 81,
000.000 state library building at
Salem and 8178.000 In additions
to the Eastern Oregon Tuber
culosis hospital at The Dalles.
In the belief that I would soon
be returning to Ethiopia with the
assistance of the League of Na
tions, I brought with me only
what I considered would be enough
for my temporary needs. Halle

tive poverty in England.
