NO PROPERTY TAX 1951-52
William Collier says a state
property tax levy probably w on't
be needed during the coming bi
ennium. No one is in a b etter posi
tion to prognosticate. He is head
of the research division of the
sta te tax commission and advisor
to the legislative interim com m it
tee on taxation.
The final report of the legisla
tive interim tax com m ittee, epi-
thetically “ The L ittle Hoover
commission,” will be completed
this week. In eight m ajor points
it recom m ends:
1— T hat the tax base of any
taxing district could he established
or changed by a m ajority vote of
the district.
I2>— A bandonm ent of the proper
ty tax field by legislative action
ra th e r than by constitutional
am endm ent.
3— Repeal of the state property
tax.
4— A 3-eents a pack cig arette
tax to finance the veterans bonus.
6— Repeal of 14 exem ptions in
the excise corporation law and re
peal of the personal property o ff
set of the same law.
6— G eneral personal property
assessm ent revisions.
7— A 2 per cent tax based on
business net income in place of
the personal property assessment.
8— That th e office of county as
sessor be made non-elective and
that the assessor he appointed by
the county court from a list of
qualified persons selected on m erit
by the state tax commission.

interim com m ittees and other
committees set up by the legisla
tu re are being moved from the
com m ittee rooms that will soon
echo with legislative debate. For
the first time since the completion
of the building 13 years ago, most

been furbished and repainted.
The responsibility of finding
space for all state departm ents is
one of the hex w orries of the sec
retary of state. He is moving his
own tra ffic safety division to the
hearing room in the state library
building.
The question of office space is
a touchy one with Newhry. ( on-
stantly perplexed by lack of ade
quate space for other departm ent
offices, he has deliberately passed
up space for his own divisions in
order to fill needs of others.
Completion of the Public Ser
vice building provided little relief
in the Capitol group as most of
the departm ents now in th at build
ing came from downtown Salem
locations set up a fte r the Capitol
burned in 1936.
Pending completion of the High
way building some departm ents
are operating under congestion
handicaps.
REFUNDS STILL WAIT
Perhaps the state of Oregon
owes you money in the form of in
come tax refunds. T here’s more
than $46,000 in unclaimed state
income tax refunds in the w ith
holding tax division that Tax Com
missioner Kay Smith would like to
deliver to claimants. Checks that
were mailed to the rightful claim
ants were returned marked "un
claim ed" by the Post office de
partm ent.
Substantially all of the tax p ay
ers to whom the cheeks were sent
apparently had moved from the>r
form er location without leaving a
postoffice forw arding address.
,f the money represented in
these checks is not claimed by the
end of the c u rre n t biennium , it
will revert to the general fund.
