McBain suggested a manufac turers' and wholesale transaction tax which would exempt retail levies ' and, food. Galloway said he feared that such a tax would result in complications and would not be constitutional. Shifting many of the secondary roads In the counties to the stale highway map, so as to reduce the county road levies and there by leave more funds available for old age assistance and other re quirements, also was broached by Representative Carl Engdahl of Pendleton. A straight sales tax also was mentioned but none of the mem bers thought such a levy could be voted in Oregon. Revamping of the entire nub ile school tax system 'also was suggested as a means of reducing governmental costs. "Our . present school tax sys tem Is a relic of the " horse and buggy days," Engdahl averred. Gust - Anderson of Portland asked If it would be possible to raise the income tax rate in the higher brackets. " Galloway said the income tax this year would yield approxi mately ' $,000,000 as against $3,200,000 in 1936. "We haven't the large incomes of Washington and California," Galloway continued. The suggestion was made that some savings aim might be made by investigating the expenditures of existing state departments and institutions. Members of the committee will contact the county courts, tax or ganizations and other groups with a view of obtaining suggestions as to how additional revenue may be raised. Particular attention also will be given the distribution of state funds. All meetings of the commission will be held in Salem. Members Include Gust Ander son and B. T. McBain, Portland; Roy E.
