OREGON STATEHOUSE JOTTINGS
UllHtlimtllllUlllltlltllllHUIIlllllllllllMHIIItnilllllll M Ullllll llllluillVIIHtlll
By Erie W. Allen, Jr.
(Untul J'rewi Staff Correspondent)
Salem, Ore., April 26 1B Con
siderable quiet support has been
made evident in Oregon for the
two school-support and construc
tion tax measures to be voted
upon-by the people at the June 22
special election.
But very little publicity has ac
companied this support, and fears
are felt In some quarters that lack
of public discussion may defeat
one or both of the measures.
The two proposed laws, result
ing from the recent legislative
session, provide for:,
1. $10,000,000 for a state build
ing fund (including $6,000,000 for
state institutions and $4,000,000
for school and college buildings)
and
2. A tax of one-tenth of one
cent per cigaret, to provide funds
for school support' (estimated at
$2,000,000 yearly).
The first measure, although de
scribed as a "five-mill tax levy"
Is that In name only. In reality
the money will come from income
tax surpluses, and no property
tax will be levied at all unless
some totally uniorseen circum
stance cuts down Income tax rev
enues. C. C. Chapman, editor and pub
lisher of the Oregon Voter, and a
seasoned political observer In
Oregon, puts forth the fear that
unless there is a campaign for
(or, oddly, against) the cigaret
tax, It may die a natural death,

The Oregon State Teachers as
sociation recently voted about
two to one in favor of the tax.
Most of the objections to it on
the part of school people is the
idea that schools would be sup
ported by the sale of tobacco,
something not encouraged in
schools. But most parent and
teacher groups have come out in
fnvor of it.
Chapman points out that "if
any large sum were expended to
deVeat it, the very expenditure
might tend to advertise the tax
so much that the people would
vot for It. So, there may be little
organized campaigning either for
or against this tax measure."
But he says: "Unless there Is
an organized campaign for the
clgaHet tax, or against it, it may
not carry. Or it may. Who knows?
And who cares? If anyone cares,
it is high time to get busy organ
Izing.T Chapman also believes that the
ballot title of the $10,000,000
measure may be misleading. By
the fact that It Is called a "tax
levy," and that adverse votes
might be cast by those who do
not understand that the entire
fund will come from income,
rather than property, taxes.
The ballot titles of the two
measures:
Bill authorizing tax levy for
state building fund purpose:
Levies tax for two years outside
limitation fixed by section 11, ar-
tide XI, Oregon constitution, of

support public schools purpose:
