STATE IS BROKE AND
MUST PAY INTEREST
ACCORDING TO KAY
Report Shows General Fund
Will Be Exhausted About
Middle of August.
EXPENDITURES HEAVY
Final Payments on Oregon City Locks
and Other Expenses Will Soon
Wipe Out Balance.

The semi-annual report of the state
treasurer is now out and furnishes some
interesting reading. The cash on hand
June 30, 1918, in all funds, was 81 ,25O,.
900, of which $533,OOO is in the general
fund. Since that date $150,OOO has
been paid out of the general fund. In
short time there will be payment of
100000 to be made, as the final pay
ment on the canal and locks at Oregon
City. This, and other expenditures
will exhaust the general fund by the
tenth or at the latest by the middle Of
August. After that date the state will
be paying per cent interest on war.
rants endorsed presented and not paid
for lack of funds" There will be
practically no more funds coming in
before October, when the last install.
ment of taxes is due from the counties,
but as many of them paid the full am.
cunt at the first payment, the pay.
ments this fall will be light.
Last Levy Small One.
The last levy was one and one-fifth
mills, and was the smallest ever made
by the state. This brought in total
of $l,200,0O0 from all taxes for 1912.
The amount expended for general pur.
poses, and for appropriations made by
the last legislature will amount to
100000 for the year 1913, and this de.
ficiency will have to be made up and
provided for in next years levy.
In addition to these sums there will
be $350,00O interest on county school
funds paid to schools shortly, thus de.
creasing the funds on hand so that the
amount Of cash on hand will be the
smallest in great many years.
A year ago there was on hand in the
game protection fund, 100000; now
there is but $4,000. The total receipts
for game protection for the first six
months of 1918 was $5l 900, and the
expenditures, $4,000.
School Fund Total.
The common school irreducible fund
now amounts to $6,4OO,OOO, a gain in
six months Of $l35,OOO.
Under the law the board in levying
the tax cannot provide for any future
expense, but must levy tax only suf.
ficient to meet known bills and ex.
penses. The board cannot levy to meet
the expense that it knows will be ere.
nted by the legislature, and hence de.
ficiencies arise.
The tax levy this year was the light.
est in the history of the state. Next
year it will be considerably heavier be-
cause the deficiencies will have to be
made up.
