Salem, Oregon, Thursday, January 31', 1957 I-age 2 Section I THE CAPITAL JOURNAE Hoiise Group to Vote On Sales Tax Friday 6-3 Rejection of Bill Eyed After Foes Heard . The Oregon Democrat adminis tration tax program will be an nounced within a very short time, Rep. Clarence Barton, (D., Coos), chairman of the house committee on taxation, said Wednesday at the conclusion of a hearing on the proposed sales tax bill. The committee will vote on the tales lax bill Friday afternoon and judging by expressions of the nine members of the committee the bill will be voted down, six to three. Opponents Heard Opponents of the sales tax had their innings Wednesday with Tom Scanlon, of the state Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO, Elmer Mc Clure, master of the Oregon State Grange and Harley Libby, pres ident of the Oregon Farmers Union, expressing disapproval of the sales tax package. Scanlon declared that he did not consider taxes a burden, saying that the people receive a great deal for their money in services. He pointed out that history of a tales tax showed that exemptions originally placed in the bill were Sadually dropped, thus making e sales tax truly regressive. Grange Opposition Cited McClure pointed out that the late Grange historically had op posed sales tax proposals and had always backei up income lax. Mc Clure opposed reference of a sales tax to tlic voters, saying that it would be a waste of public funds. : Libby said he would agree that the sales tax would benefit some farmers but contended the great majority of Oregon farmers would be penalized by such a tax. The Farmers Union, he said, felt that the tax should be assessed on the basis of ability to earn rather than the necessity to spend. Hep.

I Uiesv inferred that hn flirt nnt have too much hope that his pro posal would bo adopted by the Committee but he warned Ilia com mittee that care must be taken to avoid placing a stato lax on property. 'That is my main concern" Gicsy said. "I want to be sure there is no danger of adding to the woes of the property tax pay ers of this state. Their burden is too heavy now." (nosy predicted that with the spending proposals contained, in Governor Holmes message to the legislature, the final state budget would be close to $318 million. Just where is this money com ing Jrom," he asked. "I would (Hairnet Ihrif vnil Ktliftv.

The committee voted to ask the joint ways and means committee to give them an estimate of the amount of money that will be needed to meet the financial ic qucsts as represented in appropria tion bills, already in and those projected for introduction. MEET THE LEGISLATORS Pearson to Ask Probe Of Assessment Policy Chairman Walter J. Pearson (D), Portland, of the Senate Tax Committee said Wednesday he will ask his committee to investigate assessment policies of the Slate Tax Commission.
