E d ito r NEW SPA PER P U B L IS H E R S ASSO CIATIO N •MEMBER N \LPER N A Association - Founded 1885 A Time to Listen At this particular time in O regon, with school dist rict tax levies being rejected at a rate far in excess of any in history, it seems most ap propriate to place in print the policy statem ent of the N ational Taxpayers Conference. The statem ent was unanimously endorsed by those in attendance on M arch 26, 1969, and fits the O regon scene like an old shoe. It reads: “ I h e independent taxpayer research organizations in 3 / states, com prising the N ational Taxpayers Conference, find th a t taxpayers across the N ation are im patient, angry, and concerned. So far, the heralded ‘taxpayer revolt is largely a local phenom enon; taxpayers zero in on property taxes because they can m ake th eir votes count m ore effectively. But. the taxPa yer m alady is deep-seated an d the billions in new or increased tax proposals before State legislatures this year are also the focus of taxpayer dis content. “At the Federal level, taxpayers w onder why the income surtax appears to be the only, or at least the principal solution given official support, when studies show reductions in Federal expenditures can be more effective in com bating inflation. . As taxpayer representatives, we strongly reject the idea that the record $195 billion Federal budget is austere. It can and m ust be reduced substantially, at least by the level of reductions required by the Congress last year. “We oppose extension of the 10 percent surtax, which was imposed for a single year. If, however, the V ietnam w ar continues unabated and it is the judgm ent that the surtax be extended, an integral part of the extension measure must be a m inim um of exem ptions from that limitation. “ ,,le Crux of t,lc t.axPa yer revolt is th at taxpayers feel that G overnm ent is growing at a pace completely out of step with their wishes; it is resisting changes which would produce greater efficiency and a better return lor the tax dollar. We suggest th a t elected representatives remedy this situation by carefully evaluating expensive new program s and elim inating waste in old programs, buch action will avoid expansion of the taxpayer revolt.” A Cleanup Laws Cover Total Environment Lltterbugs In Oregon may find statem ent, which for the first themselves sentenced to serve tim e uses the specific term up to five days wearing "L itter " a ir pollution," and revision P atrol" armbands and picking of the te rm ’s definition. up refuse along highways and Another first Is specific men In parks. tion of air and w ater quality Quite a few violators will In a zoning law.
