Tom McCall’s tax reform program is based upon wantonly selfish and destructive motivation. State Sen. Edward Fadeley said in Eugene Thursday. Speaking at the weekly meeting of the Lane County Demoforum. Fadeley (D-Eugene) accused opponents of “trying to take advantage of the people of Oregon Fadeley labelled one opposition leader, Sen. Vem Cook (D Troutdale) a habitual “no-man” who is “always against an idea that isn't his own.” “Cook is really a destructive demogogue,” Fadeley said, because he has betrayed his own principles in order to become “a hired gun, or a political bounty hunter for Eastern Oregon monev.” Fadeley said that two other opponents of the McCall plan, : Rep Sam Johnson (R-Redmond) and Rep. Stafford Hansell fR Hermiston). are Eastern Oregon millionaires who will pay i much higher taxes if the plan becomes law. Johnson is best known in Eugene for his bias against higher education, Fadeley said. “He thinks the University should be \ shut down ” Fadeley characterized Hansell as “an honest, able man” : who is also the "architect of our current fiscal crisis. ” “When Hansell was head of Ways and Means, property \ taxes tripled.” but education was denied a fair share of state \ revenues. Fadeley said. “’ITie Hansell policy was to keep it all at 5 the state level and let the schools suffer.” The McCall plan is “the best shot at fair taxation and good school financing we have had,” Fadeley said. “Everyone who ; makes less than $16,000 and owns a home will be net gainers. Renters with low incomes will be net gainers.” The only ones : who stand to lose are people with “high incranes and low capital investments — people like lawyers,” quipped Fadeley, who is an attorney. Oregon Youth Lobby urge 18-year-old vote SALEM - (Special) — A representative of a newly formed high school student lobby Wed nesday presented the Senate rules committee with a letter from the youngest state legislator in the country supporting a measure that lowers the age qualification for Oregon legislators to 18. John Dilorenzo, a Beaverton high school student currently organizing the Oregon Youth Lobby, read the letter from Rep. Stephen Duprey, a 19-year-old New Hampshire legislator The letter urged the Oregon legislature to lower the age qualification for legislators “le make young people more responsive to the needs of the future” and to “give the voters a wider choice to express their w ishes ” The letter stressed that giving 18-year-olds the right to seek office would not “guarantee that vour legislature will be inundated by them.” Duprey reported in the letter that 27 candidates under 21 sought seats in the New Hamp shire House of Representatives in ihat slate’s last election, but only two were successful. He warned, “By not granting this right to our young citizens, we are inviting apathy. Before too long, young people will become frustrated by their lack of direct control over the future," the letter continued. “For a minute, imagine yourself being able to vote, but not to run for the seats that you now hold. How anxious would you be to par licipate?” The measure ( HJR 14) passed the House last month and is now being considered by the Senate. During the hearings in the House, no one under 21 opposed the measure. In the Senate committee meetings, however, an 18-year old Klamath Falls woman testified against the bill. Telin Ozier told the committee that though she feels mature enough to be a legislator, 18-year olds "as a whole, have not lived long enough to be discerning when faced with the multitude of problems and situations that face a legislator." She urged the committee to “assign a do not pass recommendation” to the legislation. Currently, 18-year-olds in Oregon can run for every local, county and state office except district court judge, governor and state legislator. The committee took no action on 'he measure Wednesday.
