I Melrose Crange Breaks With State On Sales Tax (Continued from Page One) has been made through the. state income tax. Income lax revenues, it continued, "have become inade quate to pay the expense of the administration of state govern ment." Necessity for the staie to again levy a property tax to sup plement revenues was foreseen in the resolution. The paper continued that "prop erty owners already are overbur dened by the levy of property fax es oo the local level," and added that "thousands" of non-property owners in Oregon are the source of "a great portion of the increas ed school population." The Melrose Grange's criticism of the state organization's policy followed. Copies of the refolution are to be sent to other subordinate grang es in the county for study before Pomona Grange convenes. The Oregon State Grange, in an nouncing its policy, maintained that a sales tax "is based upon the need to buy rather than the ability to pay." "There is no demonstrable need for a general sales tax in Oregon and there never has be.n," the statement of the state executive committee read. The state organizaion claimed the state has been on "a spending spree" in the past few years and called on the Legislature to find ways to economize. "The Legisla ture," it said, "should first elimi nate tax exemptions now enjoyed by many special interest groups in the state." Other farm groups, Including the Fai'm Bureau Federation and the Farmers' Union, have gone on rec ord as favoring the sales tax. A copy ot the Melrose resolution ha's been turned over to the Rose burg Chamber of Commerce, and tt will be referred to the commit tees on agriculture and education, according to Harold Hickerson, secretary-manager. The Associated Press in Port-, land Thursdav said the Melrose breakaway was the first reported there from any point in. -the state.
