PORTLAND/OBSERVER Thursday A pril 8 . 1971
Kinsey
hot line
At the end of the 12thweek of
the 1971 Legislative Session, a
quick review of the action taken
during this past week shows that
the pace is speeding up and chat
many significant pieces
of
legislation are now reaching the
stage for final flo o r vote.
Property tax re lie f, as pro
posed in the Home Preservation
Plan
which was announced
e a rlie r
this session by the
Speaker of the House, Robert F .
Smith,
and Senate M inority
Leader V icto r Atiyeh, cleared
the House Revenue Committee
and came to the flo o r of the
House this week. House B ill 1317
would allow a cre d it against
Oregon income taxes of the
amount of property taxes actu
a lly
paid on$l,500 true cash
value of the homestead, or $750
fo r
a m arried person filing
a separate return.
Using
a
typical rate of $30 per $.1000
actual cash value, this would
amount to $45 in property tax
re lie f.
If the allowabel credit*
exceeds the income taxdue, or
there is no income taxdue, the
difference would be payable to
the taxpayer. Most im portantly,
this measure would d ire ct tax
re lie f to an estimated 450,000
homeowners in the state with
out the need fo r any broad-bas
ed increase in income taxes by
financing it from cuts in state
budgets and from revenue p ro
vided by a 5f increase in the
cigarette tax.
This measure was approved
over
opposition of the Hcuse
Democrats who proposed in
stead a $140 m illio n increase in
income taxes in order to gain
property tax re lie f. It
would
seem to me that increasing in
come taxes in order to finance
property
tax re lie f would
provide a real sla p-in- the-face
to Oregonians who have asked us
to hold the line on any m ajor tax
increases. Also, while it would
increase the tax burden by $140
m illio n , it would provide only
slightly more than$30 m illio n
fo r tax re lie f. The
most
objectionable factor in this plan
is that the lion’ s share of the
revenue collected from the in
come tax increase woul be us
ed to increase government
spending rather than going fo r
this needed property tax re lie f.
Along with the passage ofHB
1317 to provide property tax re
lie f, the House also voted
to
pas HB 1640 which increases the
cigarette tax from 4< to 9f per
pack. This b ill was approved in
opposition to a plan proposed by
the Democrats wherein they
would
reimbures
vending
owners fo r the actual cost of
converting their equipment, and
the costs of this provision, not to
exceed $1 m illio n , would be paid
out of the property tax re lie f ac
count.
Objection to
this
proposal was based p rim a rily
on the fact that paying the costs
of collecting this new tax might
establish a pattern which could
spread to paying fo r the costs of
collecting other taxes which are
now in existence.
The $1,500 tax re lie f measure
and the 5 f cigarette tax increase
were the fir s t two parts of the
Repbulican’ s
Home
Pre
servation Plan to be approved .
The other two parts of the plan
which would freeze the property
taxes fo r Oregonians aged 65
and older, and theplanto allow
$500
annual income
tax
deduction from monies spent
fo r home improvements, are
now being considered in the
are assured passage out of that
committee.
