Group gives voice to higher ed
By Julio Swenson
At ft time of im reusing con
t ern about budget < uts dealt to
Oregon colleges and universi
ties. higher education support
ers have formed a political
at tion committee to help them
further their cause across the
state
The committee, named the
"Campaign for Oregon's
I uture," comprises students,
faculty, alumni, parents and
other supporters with a mission
to firing tax reform to Oregon
and to advot ate higher edut a
tion, said Kandy Me Donald,
director of the ( ommiltoe
"What vve saw was a 1 a■ k of
voice for higher edu< ation." said
John Goodman, the committee's
campaign administrator, on why
the committee was formed
Hus is a wav to give those |ieo
pie a moans to .1 voice "
funded by private donations,
the i ommitteo helps to recruit
higher edui ation boosters, such
as parents of college graduates
and alumni, to work on local
pro-Ballot Measure 1 cam
paigns. Mi Donald said
Since the i ommittee's estab
lishment in August of this year,
its volunteers have urged voters
to support Measure 1 which
would enact a r> peri util sales
tax with the revenue devoted to
kindergarten through l<tth grade
si hools and community colleges
— through the mail and by
phone
The future of the University
and si hool system statewide is
at least in part dependent on the
outcome of this election, Good
man said
"The damage that will bo
done to si hools if this measure
doesn’t pass will be irrepnra
l* 1 «*." h»* said.
Since ballot Measure 5 a
property tax limitation propos
a! — was approved In voters in
1990, more than $4H million in
budgeted state funds at the l ’ni•
versity has been cut in< hiding
more than 300 f.u ult\ and staff
positions. 200 classes and 24
degree-granting programs,
according to the University of
Oregon Alumni Assih iation
Whether Measure 1 passes or
fails, the committee will contin
ue advocating tax reform, a need
that has been talked about for
some time. Mt Donald said
"It s important for the Univer
sity and students that we not
give up until we solve the Mea
sure IS situation,” lie said.

tries like mining. will only have a i peri ent tax
applied to it. but machinery used to restore the
land after mining will be taxed at 5 percent, the
regular rate
"We re encouraging environmental degradation
and discouraging rei Initiation by the tax struc
ture." (ardoza said
On the other hand, for Associated Oregon Indus
tries. a statewide business lobbying organization,
even a 2 percent reduction in the tax rate for some
mai hinerv wasn't enough.
(’.arv Carlson, the organization's vit e president,
said the manufai luring communitv was seeking
"outright exemption" from the tax on merchandise
and equipment used in manufacturing
Associated Oregon Industries, which includes
manufacturers, retailers and others working in
business, had submitted a tax proposal to (he Leg
islature after more than a year of work
The Legislature altered the plan to the point that
AOI believed it could no longer support the tax.
Cardoza said
The tax's inefficient \ stems from the fact that it
i lists mon' money to administer per dollar collect
ed in tax than any other tax. he said
Cardoza said people who own small businesses
or produce goods in their own homes will he
fore ini to start filling out paperwork, and lor them,
this tax will he like a "driver's license to be able to
vend It makes vending a privilege and not a
right "
Hot ause some businesses will have to fill out tax
returns on a monthly basis. Cardoza said the pro
posed tax is invasive.
Carlson said his organization also believes retail
ers should he compensated for having to serve as
the state's tax collet tors t inder the proposed plan
retailers would he compensated In being allowed
to keep a pen outage of the sales tax tlun collet t
In 11)95. the Legislature would decide w hether
further compensation to retailers is netessary and
if so. how mm li the i ompensation should lie

Both Cardoza and Carlson believe the legisla
ture did not make enough of an effort to increase
government effii ienoy before turning to a sales tax.
"They didn't fund education and then came to
us holding school children as hostages to ask for
a sales tax." Cardoza said "They could have shift
ed other monies around and they didn't.”
Despite their anti-tax stance, (iarlson and Car
doza said they are not against education.
"Opponents are saying if you oppose the sales
tax. you oppose si hools," Cardoza said. "We need
to perpetuate some type of (education) system, and
il the schools need more money, we ll work on a
campaign ."
Carlson said many people interpret his organi
zation's stance as being one where the group
"turned our hack on education."
"We've probably done more for education than
any other group in the state-." he said.
The organization's support of education
includes a study done on education reform, an
awards program to i elehrate excellence in teaching
and administrating, and production of a video that
showcases ideas on administration from principals
across the country. Carlson said.
Cardoza is skeptical of the sales tax's chances
of passing.
"Traditionally, we have an anti-sales tax history
here m the state," he said, adding that he- believed
the percentage of voters in favor would in< reuse
The increase, he said, will probably he because
of a change in demographics, including .in
increase in the number of voters from California
and Washington, who he said might he more

Should the sales tax fail. (iardoza said, the tax In
