Levy On Property Aiked
By Governor Patterson
(Continued from Page 0e)
with authority to give degrees.
He made these tax recommends
tions:
1. Levy a state property tax for
the first time since 1940. This
could raise a total of $30,000,000
in the two-year budget period be
ginning next July 1.
. z. Remove the federal income
tax exemption in figuring state in
come taxes. This would raise an
other $30,000,000.
3. bubmlt to the people a oro-
posea Dona issue to carry out much
of the building program for col
leges and state institutions. These
bonds would be paid off by addi
tional property taxes -
The deficit, including the $18,860.-
077 building program, totals $63,-
870,077 for the next two-year
budget period. The state would
have plenty of money for this pe-
riuu uy accepting inuse recom
mendations. ,
Pointing out that the' voters have
rejected a sales tax five times,
Gov. Patterson declared Oregon
shouldn't have that type of tax un
less the people themselves initiate
- ' ' ::. -,
He said he has cut his budget
requests to the bone, and that ths
Legislature must raise new: rev
enue instead of making further
cuts.
While recommending those steps,
the governor asked the legislators
to give serious study" to two oth
er proposals which he said have
merit.
These would extend the excise
tax on corporations to other types
of business, and would boost state
income tax rates.
Stepping into another area of
controversy, Gov. Patterson asked
that unemployment compensation
benefits be increased; that payroll
taxes oe increased on those em
ployers who contribute most heav
ily to unemployment; and that
coverage be extended to employers
or (ewer tnan tour persons.
Oregon s jobless benefits, which
are a maximum of $25 a week for
26 weeks during any one year, fall
tar snort of the original intention
that benefits should amount to half
of the weekly wage, he said.
increase payroll taxes, he de
clared, are needed to save the
shrinking unemployment trust fund
from being depleted.
uov. Patterson rejected the High
way Commission's request for a
two-cent a gallon gasoline tax in
crease to build new roads. But he
did ask for an $11,000,000 bond is
sue for roads.
The Highway Commission has
spent all of the $72,000,000 road
bond money made available in the
past five years.
On the power question, the gov
ernor asked the Legislature to
send three memorials to the feder
al government. One would ask the
government either to build John
Day Dam at once, or to decide to
build it in partnership with public
ann private agencies.
The other memorials would ask
the government to comnlete Chief
Joseph, McNarv and The Dalles
dams on schedule: and to build
Is portion of the Cougar Dam on
he reKenzie. and Green Peter
Dam on the Santiam.
The governir called for legisla
tion to control the use of ground
water, and to create a state water
resources hoard In take over the
duties of the various basin com
missions. .-.- ,
He asked for enough money to
let the Oreeon Development Com
mission study taxation and freight
rales as Ihey affect new industries
which might come to Oregon.
The governor renewed his re
quest, originally made two years
ito when' he first took office, (hat
Eisenhower Asks Right
To Reduce Tariffs
(Continued from Pag One)
Eisenhower said, still causes "un
warranted, delays'! and hampers
commerce despite passage of the
custom - simplification act last
year.
2. Private Investment abroad.
He recommended a cut of 14 per
centage points in the tax rate paid
by corporations on income earned
abroad, and asked Congress to de
fer the tax on income of foreign
branches until the funds are re
moved from the country wnere
earned; and to study the further
use of tax treaties by recognizing
tax concessions made to foreign
capital by other countries.
J. Technical tBoMratlon. He
said this country should carry for
ward its technical assistance pro
grams, concerned with "know how
rather than large funds." Eisen
lrd favorable action on
his request for technical aid funds
in his budget message aue s:u;
week. ; , , . -.-... 1
4. General Agreement en Tariffs
ml Tnda. This country and 33
others are now reviewing the Gait
agreement for lowering oftrade
barriers, Eisenhower said, to sim
plify its terms. When the proposed
revisions are complete, he said,
the results will be sent to Congress
for aonroval. .
5. International Travel To en
courage travel abroad by Amer
icans, an important source of dol
lar for many countries, Eisen
hower asked Congress to increase
the duty-free allowances for tour
ists from $500 to $1,000. '
i. Trad fairs. Eisenhower said
this country has embarked on a
major program of particioation in
international trade fairs. Until re
cently, he said, this country has
been "conspicuous by Its absence"
at such industrial displays while
the Soviet nations have entered
costlv exhibits. He said he will
ask funds for further participation
in fairs.
As to tariffs, the message fol
lowed generally the broad lines of
last year .
The President declared Congress
can "add immeasurably ' to the
security and well - being of the
United Sates and the rest of the
free world" by giving him auth
ority to:
1. Negotiate tariff reductions not
exceeding 5 per cent annually for
three years on selected products.
2. Cut any rates which exceed
sn ner cent down to that level
over the three-year period.
S. Reduce by not more tnan one
half, in three years, the tariffs
on goods which are not now being
Imported orwhich now are being
'mnorted "only in negligible quan
tities.
the state have a convention to
write a new Constitution.
He also asked that the three-man
tax commission be replaced by a
single tax commissioner, and that
the Motor venicie ueparimeni ;ie
placed under a separate adminis
trator. The governor would appoint
heads of both of these departments.
The Motor Vehicle Department
now is administered by the Secre
tary of State.
Under another proposal, Portland
State Extension Center would be
come a degree-granting Institution.
As to the building program, Gov.
Patterson asked- that Legislature to
appropriate money for the most
vital parts of it, and then submit
a- bond issue to the people to get
the rest of the money.
He mentioned three protects in
his message. These are the Stt.-
000.000 mental hospital In the Port
land area; the reformatory near
Salem, and a classroom building
for Portland state.
Gov. Patterson spoke at a joint
session in the House chamber.
Chief Justice Harold J. Warner ad
ministered the oath of office.
