SALEM Ifl Oregon's Legisla ture, which meets in only five more months, probably will have to find at least 50 million dollars of new revenue to finance the state gen eral fund for the next two-year budget period. This bad news means that there probably will have to be 50 million dollars worth of new taxes. It will give the lawmakers a serious 'fi nancial problem. The picture looked just as dark at this time four years ago. But suddenly, the income tax yield major source of state finances- took a big spurt with a pickup in business, and that balanced the budget. But now, prospects are that income- tax receipts will decline. With so many unemployed and with business suffering from the lumber strike, it looks like income tax receipts will drop. The deficit could be more than 50 millions. The 1953 Legislature had a sur plus fund amounting to 44 millions, but the surplus facing the next Legislature will be down to 7 mil lions. That means the last Legis lature was 37 million dollars better off than the next one will be. On top of that, the new Legis lature will have to find an extra 5 millions for public welfare, and some money for new college and institution buildings. Add this to increased costs in other branches of government, and you have the extra 50 millions that are needed. The two-year budget of the 1953 Legislature totaled 193 millions. The new budget will be well over 200 millions. ; Metal ALL WHITE CUSHIONED ARCH WEDGE PLAYSHOES. ReguUrly S.98.

The Legislature could levy 24 million of it by a tax on property. Oregon hasn't bad a state property tax since 1940. There's a law that limits a slate property levy to 6 mills, or about 24 millions. The rest of the needed money could be collected by new taxes. However, this would be' difficult, because the voters have a habit of &lapp ing down new taxes. The property tax could be as sessed without the voters getting a chance to defeat It, People often blame the Legisla- 1 vprmlf whn rinn t like npw tuxes. don't hesitate much when it comes to voting to spend money. Of the 193 millions appropriated by the 1953 Legislature, the people voted to spend 77 millions of it. This latter amount includes 66 millions in basic school aid to school districts. Reducing state expenses is a lot easier than it sounds. In the first place, 53 per cent of the budget is used for education. This includes 36 per cent for grade and high schools, and ,17 per cent for colleges and the university. Another 14 per cent goes 'for pub lic welfare, and 19 per cent is used for state institutions. Those costs are hard to cut, be cause the number of children in the schools is Increasing, the popu lation of state institutions is on the rise, and demands for state wel fare help grow. The cost of general government totals only 6.7 per cent of the budget, so. you can't cut much there. Beaded rims resist denting; plastic handles. High gloss outside, sun-ray Inside. 8 cup.

Jodcufi By DOROTHY HOE AP Women's Editor American business men suddenly have found that It's fun to decorate their offices, says Melanle Kahane, who tells them how. "Just as everybody all at once seemed to discover the American home," says this decorative dec orator. "Men have discovered of fices as a field for personal ex pression. With all the current to- do about interior decor, any one would think that up to now we've been hanging from trees.' Miss Kahane, known as one of the ton figures in her field, ar rived in New York's decorator's row from Sioux Falls, S.D., by way of Paris. She has designed interiors for homes, apartments, offices, showrooms, restaurants, hotels and factories. Says she: "All this sudden office-consciousness really makes very good sense. Anyone can work better in plea sant surroundings. The Army can. Industry can. So can executives. but they were the last to discov er It. "A lot of the country's most im portant financiers were still back in the golden oak office era until recently. "But all that Is changing fast. The biir bovs have found that they can cet more done in an office that is restful and functional, with everything planned for their con venience. They are discovering that it helps to have an easy chair nr a couch where they can relax for a few minutes, or a television spr. where thev can keep up with congressional hearings and other events which affect their business. "Besides, a lot of men find that one way to be a success is w iuu. successful and a handsome mod ern office provide the right back ground." Today' smart office looks more like the library at home, says Miss icohnne. It can come equipped with all conveniences such as kltchen- ettes, refrigerators, Dars, dressing looms and TV sets. "A man's home is his castle, ' Ketffromme srirl...sTav Smart and Uealthy By , BESSY,' The Basin Bossy Maybe It's not the H-bomb we should have been worrying about all this time. No, sir . . . it's the H-llne. That's the new style of 1955 as dreamed of ny one Christian Dior, Paris (that's in France). And frankly, we cows have ,too much faith in you hu- mans' nature to ; believe you would f stoop to the ex tremes this Frenchman has BESSY plotted upon you. Here's what he has done: The waistluie goes clear to the hips, which are "Just" permitted, and that's all. Sloping shoulders weakly hold up coats and Jackets u-hirt, rfiarh limt hplnw thft hiDS. The accent isn't on anything fem inine at an. it s on a siraignt unc, a "flat look", and something des tined -to turn men's eyes to else whereanywhere else. ; At least that's what we cows think. And Buster, my bull friend, tosses in his two-bits in agree ment. If It ain't feminine, he says, it ain't worth it. Now there's another French de signer named Jacques Fatti, and he has set his '55 fashions based heavily on femininity. And to show tie s thinking or you gals and not fame (or notoriety), M. Fath has tried to design a fashion for every type of figure. This gets our vote. 5.000 to 0 in the Klamath Basin (that's how many of us dairy cows there are here). The only trouble is, Dior's fash- Ions have a habit of catching on. A habit we do approve of is the milk-drinking habit. When nature Intended milk for food, she meant It far everyone.

In order to do his best work, he needs an office with facilities to meet whatever j emergency arises." i Miss Kahane says the era of red j leather chairs and steel desks has passed. Nowadays the men prefer handsome tweed upholstery and furniture that could fit in a modern living room. Some like modern decor, some are traditional, but the idea is to make the office look like a room at home. KEEP America GREEN Adjusted Air Regulations Planned For Jet Airliners SEATTLE Ml Major changes in 'the nation's civil air regulations, to adjust them to jet-age flying, are in prospect. This became evident Thursday following a conference between Frederick B. Lee, civil aeronautics administrator, and William M. Al len, president of Boeing Airplane Co. Boeing has high hopes that Its jet-powered, four-engine 101, for which the Air Force announced an initial order last week, also will become the first airline Jet trans port in the United States. Allen told a reporter, after the conference, that Lee agreed that some major changea of U.S. civil flying rules may be required in Actress, Producer ' Plan To Marry SANTA MONICA. Calif. M Gloria Grahame, 35, who won an Oscar as the best supporting ac tress of 1952, and television pro ducer Cy Howard say they plan to marry within a week. Howard, 38, -produced such radio and TV shows as "My Friend Irma" and "That's My Boy." Miss Grahame has been married twice before, to actor Stanley Cle ments and film director Nick Kay, father of her son, David, 5. 25 REWARD for information leading to the arrest and conviction of person or persons entering Klamath Sportsman's Associa tion Clubhouse at the end of Dover Street in Lindley Heights.

This advertisement is sponsored by the following: for commercial use. He said one rule made obsolete by jets is that a new type of air plane be flown ISO hours before .being granted a certificate; Allen said that while with an earlyrday Boeing airliner this meant the equivalent of five flights across the United States, and with the Stratocrutser it meant 12 such flights, with the 707 it could mean 30 transcontinental flights. Allen estimated that it would cost Boeing more than a million dollars in insurance, crew, fuel and other costs to meet this re quirement. Allen said that while Boeing is greatly Interested in commercial development of the 707, bs an air liner, Its first obligation is to the Air Force order (or tanker ver sions. The Air Force has declared itself In need of jet-powered tank ers for high-altitude, high-s peed aerial refueling of jet bombers such as the Boeing B52. "We won't be In a position to talk prices and delivery schedules with the airlines until we see where we stand on our military obligations and make certain that the Air Force is satisfied," Allen said.
