One Year .. ........... —------------- ----- ---- -.................................... . : ad ECUADI Kent Grange Meets In Regular Session MEMBER NOVEMBER 15, 19*5__________ . \ SALES TAX FOR PENSIONS On the last day of January the people will decide whe ther or not they wish to pay a sales tax for old age pensions or not. Tnis opportunity was given because of laws enacted at the special s?3 non that reduced the age limit for old age assistance from 70 to 65 to conform with the federal law. There was no need of making this change without providing some means of raising the money that (will be needed. While an increase in the property tax was suggested in some quarters it did not get a favorable reception and the sales, or gross income tax will be used for pension purposes if so voted. Under the bill proposed there will be exemptions for the principal foods including bread, meat, vegetables, fruits and milk Sales of less than fifty dollars per month are also exempted as are gasoline sales. There was no thought among the majority members of the legislature of forcing a sales tax on' the people. It would not have carried without the referendum feature giv ing the people a choice. It was felt that some SURE means of providing for old age assistance should be provided now instead of waiting for some for some future date and some of the less practical plans. Relief for the aged will be available in the spring if this bill is given a majority. No other method promises aid so quickly. There are, it is true, many serious objections to a sales tax. If the people feel that its objections are greater than the advantages that would come from its use for the pur poses specified it will be defeated. It is the people’s choice; they have a decision to make. EQUAL REPRESENTATION An attempt was made at Salem to make it mandatory that each of the appointing powers, the governor, the speaker of the house and the president of the senate, appoint one of their three members of the capitol building committee from each congressional district. It failed in the committee of the house. Still, it is not too late for the three men to recognize the political divisions of the state. It was argued that every citizen in the state would be interested in the building of the capitol and that the geo graphical location of the members of the committee would be of no consequence. Also it was said that if any large number of the building committee came from distant parts of the state the expense would be higher than if they were drawn from nearer to Salem and Portland. The arguments offered against geographical distribu tion of the committeemen do not seem to be sound. East ern and southern Oregon citizens should have representa tion on the board equally with those from the more settled sections of the state. The governor, the president of the senate and the speaker of the house should consider the advisability of this before making their selections even if the law does not make it mandatory. The proposed «ales tax is esti mated to raise between $3.500.000 and $4,000,000 annually.' It would levy a tax of two per cent upon, all retail sales except fresh , fnjits. butter, milk, eggs, meat and fish and a tax of one-fourth of one per cent on wholesale sales. The tax would be paid by the dealer upon gross sales each month but would be passed on to the consumer through added cost Of a total of 174 bills introduc ed during the special session—all of them representing real emer gencies in the opinion of their spon sors—73 made the circuit of the two branches. A number of these however, will doubtless be vetoed by Governor Martin. Considerable interest attaches to the fate of H. B. 71, the unemployment insur ance measure, and H. B. 60, the new agricultural marketing agree-, ment act. both of which were de clared to be unconstitutional by their opponents in the House and Senate. Governor Martin is ex pected to be guided largely by the advise of Ralph Moody, assistant attorney general, in his attitude toward measures where the ques tion of constitutionality is involv ed Moody acted as the Governor’s legal advisor during the session and was probably the busiest man mound the legislative chambers, not only writing most of the im portant bills, but analyzing and in- terpreting most of the others the committees which had them in charge. The special session was one of the most expensive in the history of the state. The last 20 day session cost the tax payers ap proximately $42,000. A total of $60,000 was authorized for the ses sion just ended but not all of this will be used. The exact cost will not be known until the bills are in. including those for printing the house and senate journals and the session laws. In Other Days From the Observer Nov. 16. 1906.
