Forum at

The cacophony over the tax relief plan
proposed by Governor Tom McCall will be
greatly augmented Saturday as Legislators
for Responsible Tax Relief will sponsor a
public tax forum at the Eugene Hotel from 9

The group is a 37-member bi-partisan
group of legislators opposed to the tax plan.
The forum will begin with an impartial
overview of the plan and its ramifications by
Richard Munn from the Department of
Revenue and Dean Ellis, council to the Senate
Revenue Committee.
Their presentation will be followed by a
discussion featuring three legislators who
oppose the plan. Speaking will be Sen. Vernon
Cook (D-Troutdale), Rep. Stafford Hansel!
(R-Hermiston) and Rep. Sam Johnson (R
Redmond).

segment including proponents and opponents
of the governor’s plan.

Fadeley slams
tax opponents
Most opposition to Gov. 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.
