PAGE FOUR LEGISLATURE SWIFT AND HOT The Forty-Eighth Legislature Assembly of Oregon will con vene in regular session at the Capitol m Salem January 10 It is destined to be a high- tempo affair. This is assured by a state wide keen interest in the prob- abi' f ’ of a state property tax and/or other burdensom taxes, inc renerai sales tax with exemptions on foodstuffs. The tax horror tension is not relieved by the fact that this legislature will have an unusual ly large number of members who ious legislature experience. In perience. Only four of the 30 members of the Senate are without prev ious legislative experiecne. In the house only 26 of the 60 mem bers will be serving their first terms. The drop in income tax rev enue and the immediate nec essity for more buildings for state wards and students poses an engima that is hot on both ends. The only answer seems to be drastic cuts in expendi tures and more taxes. Things get spastic whenever members get to voting "no” on appropriation bills for districts represented by other members. Having observed 29 legislative sessions in Oregon we assume to predict a swift-moving but lengthy session with signal lead ership.
