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. I sources.
The Knight budget proposed for 3. How to finance building needs
1958-59 allocates no general fund for state colleges, prisons, men-
revenues to capital outlay but willjtal hospitals and other departments
finance building needs out of a, of state government,
bond issue which will be almost Many observers feel the only
exhausted by 1960. , logical way out of the dilemma is
The problem facing California's to levy new taxes or perhaps in-three-fold:
crease the state sales tax. But
1. How to increase state rev- even in 1959. which is not on elec
enues or cut down on state spend- jtion year, that will be unpopular
ing so that income and outgo are; with the Legislature and probably
I with the new governor
