ANDERSON SACRAMENTO ( Califor nia s new governor faces a finan cial headache when he takes of fice in 1959. No matter whether it will be Democrat Edmund G. (Pali Brown or Republican William F. Know land, the problem will be acute. The financial crisis facing the state is brought about by a num. ber of factor s unprecedented growth, demands for new and bet ter services in such fields as men tal hygiene, a falling off of business generally in the last few months and the need, perhaps necessity to find new revenue to finance wa-' ter development. Outgoing Republican Gov. Good win J. Knight is no more respon sible for the financial plight of the state than is the Legislature with which he has operated in the past five years. Knight foresaw the need for new revenues as long ago as 1953 but the Legislature at that time refused to enact a cigarette tax or increase liquor, horse racing and beer levies by enough to bal ance the need for additional in come. In the budget Knight submitted to the Legislature Monday, Feb ruary 3, he asked for no new or higher taxes although his own fi nance department admitted state revenues in the 1958-59 fiscal year will fall about $100,000,000 short of matching general fund expen ditures. Knight said he was not seeking new taxes because he had been told by influential leaders in both houses of the Legislature that the legislators would not vote for tax increases in an election year. By 1959, when either Knowland or Brown will take office, the state's financial outlook will be even darker. Robert Darkness, chief of the budcet division of the state De partment of Finance, estimates: equal. the 1959-60 budget will be between I 200 and 250 million dollars out ol balance. To further complicate matters, the estimated deficiency in '59- 60 cannot be made up by using surpluses and reserve funds, most of which were whittled away by the Legislature and by Knight to balance earlier budgets. Nor does the budget picture for next year include any general fund money, that is money from such tax sources as the sales tax, for water development. And water, according to Harvey O. Banks, state director of the Department of Water Resources, should get about $125,000,000 a year for an indefinite period if the state is to go forward with the Feather River Project and other units of the California water plan. Not only that, but the state should spend, according to Darkness, about $80,000,000 a year from gen eral fund sources for "hard core; 2. 1 How to Finance orderly de capital outlay." that is new plants j velopment of the state's water re and buildings for state agencies.
