"Thi* politicians are in charge They believe the
public is unwilling to increase taxes." said Mar

(■'ducation and Reseats h Center
In July when the House refused to allow
a special vote in September by mail ballot, (»ov
Barbara Roberts opted not to put the Oregon (ax

Roberts should have t ompromised and put the
Oregon Tax (Man before the voters on the Novem
her (mllot. said University President Myles Brand
"We should have had something out to lie voted
on Arguably it would have failed, but we should
have started the process," Brand said
Roberts said in a recent meeting of the Associa
tion of Oregon Fai nitres that "timing is every
thing." and until Oregonians si*e and understand
the cuts, they won't support tax reform, an idea
that has lai-ii duh!n*d the "blood-on-the-table strat
egy '
"There is nev er a good time to put a tax propos
al on the ballot The longer you wait, the harder it
is,” Brand said
Roberts said it would have failed
"To have gone to the ballot and failed would
have k'lled any opportunity that we had for anoth
er year." she said
there is an abundant number of other tax pro
posals in the legislature right now. including a
bridge financing proposal by Rep. Cynthia
Wooten.
Bridge financing addresses budget i rises over
the short term It provides a short amount of time
to change the system for the long term
"There will (hi lots of bridge financing propos
als It will happen at the end of the session They
can't afford to talk about taxes now." Hallock said.
“It s definitely a fall-back position if you don't
get tax reform." she said
Brand and the Oregon Student Lobby prefers
‘I’ve seen nothing to indicate
that the majority of legislators
are ready to do the hard stuff
— come up with a tax proposal
for voters
Rep. Jim Ecimunson,
D-Eugone
Rep Tony Van Vliot's sales lax proposal
VI jet s proposal. House Joint Resolution 4 pro
vides standard exemptions for food, utilities, rent,
mortgages and medical costs. The bill also
includes state income tax reductions
The money raistnl by H|R 4 is mandated to go to
public si bools up to the community college level.
Brand prefers Vliet s proposal to others because
it would stop the effec Is ol Measure 5 at the end of
1993.
Matlock. who is a former state economist, said
she would rather see a gross-receipts tax because it
would broaden the tax base and keep rates down.
The gross-receipts tax is an excise lax on busi
ness that is levied against gross income, gross pro
ceeds of sales, or the value at products.
"If all businesses pay it on their entire receipts,
you could keep the rate really low. In Washington
State, the rate ranges from one—half percent to
one-and-a-half percent." she said.
Speaker of the House l-arry Campbell has a pro
posal that would stop further rate reductions
required by Measure 5.
House Joint Resolution 60 would permanently
retain the 1993 property tax rate limitation for
schools and limit increases in single-family resi
dential assessed values to 2 percent.
“That would make a huge difference to schools.
That would leave some flexibility for the schools
through property taxes. We would have to pay a
lot less through income taxes." Hallock said.
Bosnian Serbs reject peace plan
MOUNT JAHOR1NA. Bosnia
Herzegovina (AH) — The Bosn
ian Serbs' self-proclaimed
parliament effectively rejected a
U.N. jreace plan to end the war
in Bosnia early Thursday by vot
ing instead for a referendum on
the plan
The vote defied pressure from
the Serbs' backers in Yugoslavia
and abroad, and heightened
prospects of military interven
tion to end Europe's bloodiest
conflict since World War II
After the vote, the president of
Serb-dominated Yugoslavis
Dobrii-a Cosic said, "The (Bosn
ian) parliament took the worst
decision, and I don't know what
the next night will bring "
In New York. Bosnia's U.N.
mission slammed the decision.
"It's pretty damn clear that
the Serbs have no intention of
following any directive from the
West." said Miles Kagusz.
spokesman for the Bosnian mis
sion. told The Associated Press.
The vote past midnight came
after days of furious diplomatic
efforts to get the Bosnian Serbs
to accept the plan, already
approved by Bosnia's Muslims
and Croats.
At the mooting, leaders from
Greece and Yugoslavia joined
Bosnian Serb Leader Radovan
Karadzic in pleading with the
lawmakers to accept the plan to
avert military intervention.
Karadzic, who accepted the
plan Sunday at a peace confer
ence in Greece, said, '’Either we
accept this plan, or we can
expect fierce attacks by NATO
forces."
CORRECTION
An article in the May 5
issue of the Emerald deleted
part of a statement by psy
chology Professor Jacob
Beck. Beck said he doesn't
believe the new race, gender
and non-European require
ment is anti-Semitic, but be
does believe it ignores Jews
as a racial group.
The Emerald regrets the
error.
