Thursday, May 23. 1963 Page 5 Salem Scene Disagreement Over How to Raise Taxes Prolongs Adjournment Disagreement betw e e n the House and Senate over how to raise taxes has given the 1963 Legislature the dubious distinc tion of holding the longest ses sion in history. The old mark was equalled Tuesday, May 21, on the 128th day. Most legislators are hopeful that things will wind up late this week, however. But it all depends on whether the House and Senate can agree on a tax package. Several weeks ago. the House voted to raise most of the $60 million additional money need ed by the state during the next two years by levying a 4c per pack cigarette tax, plus a "net receipts" income tax. This pro posal went to the Senate. Then, last week, the Senate Taxation Committee came out with a re-worked version of the tax bill, which completely elim inated the cigarette tax. The Senate Committee felt that the best approach was to rely on an even stiffer income tax. The Senate proposal would raise approximately $52 million in new revenue, all through in creased income taxes. The House version would rely on income taxes for $35 miliion and cig arette taxes for $12 million. Basically, this is what the Students to Attend State FTA Meeting Marv Johnson and Gail Hos- kins, Heppner High school jun iors, will attend the summer con vention for Future Teachers As sociation on the Oregon College of Education campus, Mon mouth, July 7 through 11.

Eisner Senate proposal calls for: A tax range of 3 to 7. (The present rate scale is 3 to 9.5). An increase in the personal exemption from the present $600 to $650, and in the case of joint returns, from the present $1,200 to $l,dUO. A reduction in the depen dency exemptions from the present $600 to $400. A minimum tax (filing fee) of $10, or $20 on joint returns. Elimination of the federal tax deduction on state returns. As reported several weeks ago, the House version also elim inates the federal deduction and calls for a flat 1 tax on all income up to $16,000 or a flat li tax on all income over $16,000, with no deductions or exemptions. In addition to the flat scale, the House proposal would also impose a graduated tax, ranging from 1 to 6, but in this area deductions would be allowed. The House plan would sub stitute a $22 credit on computed taxes, rather than the present $600 personal and dependency deduction. In simple terms, the Senate's tax plan would cost more, as far as income taxes are con cerned. The House version would require a smaller income tax hike, since it could rely on cig arette taxes to obtain some revenue. Either way, taxes will be raised. Senator Anthony Yturil (R- Ontario) was one of the three members of the Senate Tax ation Committee who voted against the program. He said he favors a cigarette tax and the House-passed "net receipts" ap proach. Other members voting with Yturri in committee were Senators Donald Husband (R- Eugene) and Vernon Cook (D- Gresham). Senators voting for the bill in committee were Chair man Boyd Overhulse ID-Mad ras), Robert Elfstrom (R-Salem), Walter Pearson (D-Portland), and Glen Stadler (R-Eugene). The $10 minimum tax feature in the Senate version would serve to broaden the tax base and obtain revenue from many low income taxpayers who now pay nothing. "It was the feeling of the ma jority of the committee that since by far the major part of the state's expenditure was for education, those people having children to educate were equit ably the ones who should be paying the cost," said Sen. Overhulse. "I am sure that every taxpayer with a family recog nizes this fact and is willing to bear his share of the tax load." House Speaker Clarence Bar ton (D-Coquille) spoke out against the Senate's tax plan. He particularly opposes the pro posed reduction of the depen dency allowance from $600 to $400. "The House should insist on an equitable tax bill," said Bar ton. "It shouldn't be hesitant to spend plenty of time to resolve the tax situation to its satis faction and for the good of the people of the state." If he Senate approves its Tax ation Committee's proposal, it would then go to a House Senate conference committee, in an attempt to resolve their dif ferences. And while they're doing this, the one fear in their minds will be that the final plan also must not be too objectionable to the voters. For in Oregon, the people have the right to initiate a ref erendum and possibly overrule a new tax. They've done it be fore.
