Bill Passes
SALEM. Feb. 17.— (UN)— The
Pktteraon income tax bill passed
the senate and legislature late
today by a vote of 27 to 3.
The measure was debated for
two hours before the vote.
Senator Miller, chairman at the
senate committee on taxation and
assessment declared that there
doubtless were many senators
who had different views aa to
what the bill should eon tain, M t
a condition confronted the state
and the hill before tbe senate
would meet the problem.
Some Opposition
Opposing the bill were Senators
Klepper, Banks and Upton. Klep-
per insisted that the remedy was
to put the tax base back to three
million dollars, where it was when
it was cut down by Governor
Pierce and then pass the Hamil­
ton reassessment bill. This bill
would increase the assessed val­
ues of the state from »200,000,-
000 to »600,000,000 and would
do away with the necessity of a n ,
Income tax. Klepper pointed out
that the crisis was not so im­
portant that it required the Im­
position of a tax on the people.
He warned that the bill would
meet with defeat when It is voted
oil.
