Some Take the High Road The ovial IP a 3- Editor's Corner By Charles V. Stanton 1 4 Th Ntwt-Rtviaw, Roiabiirf, Ort. Oregon Tax Referendum Poses Dangers ' Gov'. Mark Hatfield took a roundhouse awing at the Oregon Legislature in hid statement which permit HB 18-16 to be come law without his signature. "I do not support this tax bill," Hat field asserts. He adds: . , "If compounds the inequities of the present impact on our citizens. There could be a special legislative session. I am not at all convinced, however, that reassembling the same individuals who worked for 141 days and could arrive at nothing' better could achieve an improve ment. Indeed, the results . could be worse." The Governor observed that a f u 1 1 month before the Legislature convened he had presented a budget and program for raising the necessary revenue. He had urged tax reform. During the recent ses sion the House came up with a sort of tax reform but ran into an obdurate Sen ale which refused to accept the program submitted by the lower house. The re sult was a compromise which satisfied no one. Petitions are being prepared to refer the tax program to the people. Newspa pers and a great many public leaders Hie urging Oregonians not to sign these petitions. , Gov. Hatfield, despite liis criticism of the new tax program, says: "This bill must be allowed to become law so that orderly government, can continue and so the essential public services can be pro vided." Thoughts of reconvening the legisla ture to adopt a new tax program are dis tressing. Yet with the comparatively small number of names needed on refer ral petitions, this is very possible. If the 23,185 names are secured a vote will be held Oct. 15. That's when, in effect, the stale starts pouring money down a ratholc. First, this special election will be costly. i Then, if the referral vote is success ful, indicating the people want another lax plan, the legislature will be recon- , vened. It Isn't likely a legislature which couldn't agree in 141 days is going to be in accord at a forced session. So, more money will be spent uselessly. . Now, what is likely to come out of such a special session? Roseburg's V. O. Kelsay thinks the legislature will take the obvious approach. The job of setting up an entirely new system of taxation is un likely. The obvious stop is to take a meat W He bid Set By ROBERT C.

"cultural aitualion and outlook te- i pun jui isuru oj inr agncuiiur FRIDAY, JULY 5,1963 axe to the 1963-G5 biennium budget, to whittle it back to the present level. Despite growth of population during the last two years, particularly in t h e schools, present expenditures couldn't be appreciably raised. The constitution does not allow the state to operate at a deficit. Since most of the increase for the next biennium is for education, this is Ihe area where cuts would probably be made. On the elementary and secondary level, the first step would be to push back the basic school support increase allowed by this year's legislature. The direct result would be a healthy boost in property taxes, which are al ready oppressive. (The basic school sup port' fund has the effect of offsetting lo cal property taxes). Another likely out would be in the budget for higher education, particularly Ihe $11 12 million for new college con struction. This means a threat that col leges won't have room to meet the tre mendous increase in enrollments. Kelsay says the biennial budget con tains no' fat, so the result would be to cut back drastically on necessary serv ices. Still another danger which would boost taxes even higher is the shortage of time. The legislature's 1903-65 budget goes into effect, if it is not referred. Sept. 2. This means, the new rates will apply lo all of 1963. But if a special session is necessary, a new rale will not go into effect until 90 days after the session adjourns. This would nush the effective date far into 1964, Thus, part of 1963 would not have been adjusted to the new rate, such as in employe withholdings. The new rates would then have to be even higher to make up for the money not collected on 1963 income. There is always the danger the tax would be referred also. If this happened, money coming in would dwindle to a trickle. The state has enough money to larry It through until tax payments start coming in next April, but not much long er. It all adds up to a terrible mess for which we would pay a great deal more than we will under the lax law passed by the 1963 legislature. Many, including The News-Review, agree that more than a token reform of the tax structure is needed. It should, however, be made in an orderly way by the 1965 legislature. Otherwise, fiscal wreckage will result. In the basement of the Phi Kap house. I I'here was none of this vodka- drinking you read about now.

The federal government is ex pected to go MUCH DEEPER in the hole in the next 12 months. President Kennedy's $98.1 billion budget for fiscal 1964 projects a deficit of $11.9 billion the sec ond highest in peace time. Only the SI2.4 billion Eisenhower deficit in 1959 would top it.
