In an off-the-cuff speech harshly critical of the emergency board, Boe said that board members sweat out each legislative session and then are relieved when the session adjourns, so that they can get back to running the state without interference. The Senate president-elect called for “major policy changes and reform” and an “overall restructuring of state government.” “I think state government is where the action is going to be from now on,” he said. Boe promised to fully staff the session which opens today and to make it “the best staffed legislature” in the history of the state. The man who is to be sworn in today as the first Democratic Senate President in recent years—the last time the regular Democrats had control of the Senate was 1907, Boe said—spent the majority of his 45 minute address rfiwwang the numerous highly volatile and controversial economic problems that will be faced by the 1973-74 legislature. Boe pleaded for “understanding and compassion” from the public as the legislature tackled the task of constructing a workable tax reform program, especially in the sensitive area of property taxes. Property tax reform is not a new problem in Oregon, Boe—one of the leaders of the movement that defeated state ballot measure number nine—painted oik. The last tax measure approved by Oregon voters, with the exception of minor cigarette and gasoline taxes, was 43 years ago. That bill created a statewide income tax and was known as “The Property Tax Relief Program of 1929.” Boe refined to take a position on Gov. Tom McCall’s highly publicized tax reform program, saying at the present time, “It is impossible for anyone to support it.” He said that he would demand to see the Governor’s entire program in bill farm before he would comment an it. What bothers the Senate president-elect is that he has seen only half the program. “The Governor has referred to only in a sketchy manner the all important distribution program,” he explained. “Here is where the body is buried," Boe told the Eugene meeting of the local Democratic forum. However, be did not rule out future support of McCall’s program. “There are many parts of the Governor’s program that I like,’’ Boe said. The complicated and tangled school financing laws in Oregon received a verbal blast from Boe, farmer chairman subcommittee an school finance, as be called for a complete overhaul of them so they could be understood. “We need simplification and clarification of school financing laws,” he said and admitted that these “problems will present a challenge to the legislature.” (Continued from Page 19) CUP AND SAVE THIS ADD <£NUC ^Film Series ■ Wiqter 1973 FRIDAY, JANUARY 5.
