He would en act a sales tax from which would be paid the operational M alimta Tf tha anlaa f n i irl n't rniqp enniltrh mdn- ey, he would have the additional amount needed paid out of ; :-r"ZlSJ the state's generalcund. The operational school tax, as nejbu5tel. to be pres(,nt and awake proposes it, would be administered at the state level, ana would be allocaWl to school districts on a school child unit, based on the class of the district. The departure from the present system of budgeting, he contends, woulrt be a chal lenge to school administrators to "work within the level of comparable costs." "Enactment of these laws" says Schumacher, "would cut($)ie school tax on property to "less than half," the amount presently imposed. Property OvjrburcJrafd It is the contention of the Sackson County Assessor that real property is overburdened with taxatn. Reappraisals have been made, and will be made, he says, in an effort to secure better equalization of the tax. Rut reappraisals do "not eliminate the burden of taxation when most taxing districts are faceitwith increased costs and wanted sers--ices." o The greater share of the taxSiollar, he asserls, is spent for school operation, adding that "Most taxpayers agree that this is an essential service and few would sacrifice this for lower taxation." People, he contends, are becoming resistant to proper ty taxation. Thus a new tax base is essential. Separating the cost of capital investment from the cost of oppration, according to his like 50 mill off real property He would substitute a sales tax for operational costs. "While these school taxes must still he paid," he savs, "the payment would be less pailful tinder the sales tax and income ijix and would be more editable. "Also, 1 believe that the voters of OreRon would accept the sales lax if it wii coupled with this positive property tax offset Adoption of. such plan, in -nn in foJnVoblo nn.ifinn Oregon in a favorable position Hlvy Tx Systtrt Uititi There is no question in my mind but that Oregon's pres ent tax system, which places the Hhole tax burden on property and income, is a barrier to new industry and busi ness, o The sales tax opponents contend that an income tax will do everything a sales tax will do. Rut we still must face the practical) viewpoint that the men who decide where an industry or business ito be lo cated are men in what we miftht call the upper income group. They are not going to advocale location of an in dustry in nn area where they personally must pay a high rate of taxation when they can go rS a neighboring state where their own taxes will be less and the loud will be more widely distributed. o Wo can cry all we please that this selfish attitude shouldn't prevail, but all our crying won't overcome the fact that no administrator in his right mind is going to advocate the establishment of a plant where his own per sonal tax is higher than elsewhere. I would disagree with Schumaker, however, in one re spect. O A sales tax, I believe, should not fa enacted for one particular purftse. It has long litten my contention, and has previously been stated in thra column, that we iieed nn entirely new tax program one that would put a (imitation on the prop erty tax, would give us a sales tax as an offset to both in come and property taxes and would start income taxes at a higher level, to take care of the people in the low in come group. Such a program, in which the sales tax would be a part of the whole, rather than n added tax, would have pub lic apfvoval, I believe. Lenten.
