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.

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

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.
