If additional state reve nue is required over and above what present taxes would bring In, what method would you pre fer? ! A, 1 Dm firmly opposed to any tax Increase. Moreover, 1 ;im convinced we can reduce our stale income tax substantially from what it is under the new law. If the Republicans had adopted the tax plan proposed by the Demo crats in the last legislature, we would have had adequate funds yet not be digging so deeply in our pockets to create a Inrge sur plus fund as we now are doing. Also, although the slate docs not collect any property tax, I believe we should try to reduce or make equitable property taxes by no (derating the reappraisal pro grain. 0. 2. Does Oregon's constitu Hon need major revision? if so which nu'ihini do your prefer, by convention or amendment? A -Ofcifon's praGllco ol m;tkiiu: nlnmst nil laws approved by the people inlo a conslltullbhal amend men! has resulted in a constitu tion so involved and lengthy as to make revision moat necessary.

Should additional qualifications be re quired of local districts to partui pale in slate funds? A. I would prefer seeing the local districts handle their own needs. However, in the districts rcreiiinc slate aid I believe they should meet cerlain Standards. The practice has hcen lo adjust tliesc standards snmcwnai to uuirrcu needs and abilities and seems fairly satisfactory. (). 4.

Four years ago Kefauver really campaigned in Oregon and made many friends. When the primary , election returns were in Kefauver won the Oregon delegates by a received but 20.353 votes in Ihis 'slate, Moreover a few scattering polls taken by newspapers thus far in dicate a slight lead for Kefauver. Senator Wayne Morse cancelled a number of scheduled meetings including one, Tuesday night at Sliver ton and another at Willam ette university in Salem Wednes day night. Important business in the United States senate next week was given by Morse as his reason for cancelling the meetings.

McKay on Trip Meantime Douglas McKay isencc was possible now legislation getting into high gear, having made a flying trip through a por tion of eastern Oregon with reports indicating that he was greeted by good crowds and loud receptions at all of his appearances. Hitchcock, who has been cam paigning for a month or more, is not slowing up, but appearing at noonday and night meetings as well as these popular 'coffees' in various homes where he meets the women.

Approval of the- sales tax was announced by the interim com mittee last month, leading to a prediction by some state officials of an almost certain passage of the sales tax at the next legisla ture. State Sen. Rudie Wilhclm, Portland, interim committee chairman, indicated the commit tee will use the 1955 sales tax bill as a base from which to build the new bill. The 1955 measure was approv ed by the house but was defeated in the senate after a lengthy de bate. It provided for a three nor cent low. As a result, income taxes were j upoed some 60 percent including i a 45 per cent surtax.
