. Collection of Income taxes by
the state tax commission this year
will be legal despite the conten
tion of Sen, Lew Wallace of Mult
nomah county that the legislature,
in adopting the Walker tax reduc
tion plan at the 1943 session, un
constitutionally delegated its pow
ers to the. commission, Attorney
General George Neuner held in an
opinion, I Friday. . , - J ,
Sen. Wallace, who - previously
received a negative reply to his
inquiry as; to whether t a special
legislative session would be able
to change the income tax cormula
in time to: affect this year's colt
lections; also requested; the 'opin
ion on the point of constitution
ality, j!' : i '
The .1943 legislature established
the formula authorizing the tax
commission .to reduce the income
taxes for this year and the "com
mission j later fixed the :' reduction
at 75 per cent Income taxes to be
paid this year are based on in
comes ; for j 1943. Several sponsors
uf the proposed special legislative
session suggested that the income
tax reduction under the walker
plan bei reduced ' as low as ' from
10 to 25 per; cent and that the tax
funds recaptured by such action
be used for postwar work.. L ,
It isj only when the property
tax reduction account! has a Ire
serve of not less than $5,000,000
that the state tax commission is
authorized to allow , a discount in
personal income . and corporation
excise taxes, Neuner dedared.
Neuner said the amount ot re
ceipted 'income tax revenues in
excess ! of j applications! to reduce
property taxes in the hands of
the state treasurer onf June 30,

I must assume that the tax
