LOCATED ON THE B-BALL COURTS BEHIND THE STUDENT HEALTH CENTER beat Tax-plan details released WASHINGTON (AP) — Treasury Secretary James Baker told reporters Wednesday that he was pleased by the initial reaction to President Ronald Reagan's tax-reform plan from the heads of the Congressional tax-writing committees. "We have a fair shot of getting this through the Congress this year," Baker said. However, he did not minimize possible difficulties in gaining passage of the measure. Reagan and his aides withheld a detailed ex planation of his proposal until Wednesday. The 461-page explanation contained few surprises, but it did spell out a detail the president had not mentioned — that businesses will be hit with a special $56.5-biltion increase in taxes through 1989 to prevent them from reaping a windfall through the combined effects of the existing depreciation benefits and the lower corporate rates he recommends. Highlights of the plan include: •Seventy-nine percent of individuals would pay the same or less tax than under present law. The $1,040-per-person exemption would be rais ed to $2,000; the standard deductions of $2,300 for single people and $3,540 for couples would be increased to $2,000 and $4,000. Individual tax rates — now ranging from 11 percent to 50 per cent over 14 taxable brackets for couples and 15 for individuals, would be reduced to three. The new rates: 15 percent. 25 percent and 35 percent. •The total tax burden on individuals would be reduced by 7 percent while corporate taxes would rise by 9 percent. Reagan said. Through 1000. individuals* taxes would drop $131.8 ' billion; corporate taxes would rise by $118.4 billion. Details of the plan released today, however, project that by 1000. when all the president’s pro posals could be expected to be fully effective, total revenue from individuals would fall 5.2 per cent while that from corporations would rise 23 percent. Jury votes to acquit Gillis SALEM (AP) — Former State Rep, Pat GlUis was acquitted Wednesday of charges that he lied about his educational background in the state . voter’s pamphlet. The jury deliberated about two hours before 11 jurors voted to acquit the 24-year-old Portland Republican, who was recalled by voters in March. The 12th juror was undecided. Gillis was charged with two counts stem ming from his Oregon Voter’s Pamphlet state ment that he had received a master’s degree in public administration from Lewis and Clark Col lege in Portland. Gillis hugged his attorney. Marc Blackman, after the verdict was announced. Some courtroom spectators cheered and applauded. “I knew from day one that I .was always . honest, always truthful.'' Cillis said after the ver; diet. "I never tried to dodge any of this. • . „ ‘■ That's why I wanted it to.go to trial -1 knew. once it got to- this point there was ho way the" * ‘ evidence would hold out." Cillis said he was unsure whether he would try tp re-enter politics. • J . "I just don't know yet," he said ‘.'This (trial) ■", . is all I've been thinking about for the last month." Cillis was charged with a-felony .count of making a false statement in the pamphlet and a* misdemeanor count of false . signing of a statement. If convicted of both charges.

Atiyeh foresees higher tax rates SALEM (AP) — Oregonians ! would be among the estimated 20 percent of Americans whose taxes would rise under Presi dent Ronald Reagan's proposed income tax revisions. Gov. Vic Atiyeh said Wednesday. Atiyeh said Reagan's plan is well-balanced except for the provision of eliminating the federal income tax deduction currently given for state and local taxes. Oregonians currently can deduct such taxes as property and state income taxes when filling out their federal tax forms. Eliminating that deduc tion would put Oregon at a “tremendous disadvantage" compared with states where residents have had fewer taxes eligible for the deduction, Atiyeh said.
