Senator I Corbett concluded the arrament for the tax in an ex tended aad cool-mannered d!s casslon of the state's financial situation, the Imperative need for new revenue and the pb'lity of a general sales tax to meet present emergencies. Tb Multnomah county senator said he voted against the sales tax la the special session be cause he was not assured the de ficit was real, because he thought budget economies might close the gap between revenue and outgo and because he felt other taxes might -be devised.

"This legislature has passed laws which' make it easy for cities to default, has cut down educa tion's funds, has done nothing to help the landowner, and has seen the sorry spectacle of Oregon's bonds without a buyer," Corbett emphasized in urging the sales tax as a necessary emergency measure. MI cannot for the life of me understand the mentality of peo ple who fight the heavy tax on farm property and yet oppose the sales tax." he added.
