Mann Urges Public Opinion Probe on Taxes Rep. Irvln Mann Jr. of Stan i field told tho llepimer Morrow county Chamber of t ontinerce August 2!. that the permanent tux study committee should probe public opinion In every way possible to determine If either n sales tax or n broader based Income tax would survive a referendum In 17. whether or not tho I St limitation kuc roods. He made the talk here (ust before the circuit court panel of Indues In Marlon county ruled that the yt' measure should not be placed on the ballot be cause of Insufficient number of petitioners. Tho matter I now Mibli-ct to appeal to the slate Supremo Court. Analyzing tho properly tax limitation measure, Mann said a defeat of the proposal should not be Interpreted h n lack of public concern about oppressive property taxes, but rather its n recognition of the obvious de fects of the measure. Rep- Mann noted that the emergency clause may not be attached to a tax measure by the legislature, making it refer endutu of any new Ux llkelv. A tax which Is good If the Init iative passes is also Just as good If the Initiative docs not pass, he added, so long as tin- oople will approve of the tax In n ref erendum, and If It substantially and fairly reduces property tux es. This Includes n sales tax. ex panded Income tax or any other tax. he said. Proposal Features Told Four principal features of the !' proposal listed bv the rep resentative include the follow ing: 1. limits property taxes to l''r of market value. 2. repeals 0'i limitation on budgets of tax ing agencies. 3. requires tax commission to adjust budgets down to comply with the limitation. 4. provides for ex cepting public improvements and public schools from the limitation by a vote of the ma turity of the voters lit the time of a statewide primary or gen eral election, but 3J't of Un registered voters must vote "yes". To nil intents and purposes, Mann said, the measure limits propertv tax to 00 mills, since counties of the jjtute are now on the same tax ratio. He cited the example of a home with u $10,KM) market value. Multiply ing this bv IV;, the result would be $150. Using the same market value nnd the 2.V.. ra tio, the assessed value would be $2500. Bv multiplying the $2005 by tit) mills, the result Is the siime $150. Hep. Mann pointed out that in adjusting various rode areas in a county, the tax commis sion would have the problem of i. ringing the urea with the highest tax within the 00 mill Registration Set At Blue Mountain Registration for Blue Moun tain Community College will be Wednesday through Friday, Sep tember 21-2.1. from H:'M) a.m. on til 4 p.m., President Wallace W McCrae announces.

If n school district was cxivptcd from the limitation bv 33 vote of the registered voters, this portion of the properly tnx load would no longer be Included In the GO. mill limit. This would leave other agencies In the code areas Involved free to Impose taxes up to the 00 mill limit. Hep Mann said. The repiesenlatlve snld Hint he fi-cls that nnv new tax mens ure should be tied to n prop erly tax reduction. "If the 1 1)1 limitation docs not pass, we should remove the symptoms that got It on the hnl lot In the first place," he snlil. Arguments Aqalntt Arguments ngalnst the limi tation measure that he pointed out nre: I It doei not provide for re placement for $120 million lost to schools and local govern ment. 2. It gives the tnx com mission dictatorial owers. 3. It would menu excessive seasonal cost for the tax commission. 4. it could nctunllv Increase prop erty taxes las cited In the above illustration. 5.

Improvement In assess, ing procedures. Rep. Maun said he did not see how it would have the advant age listed In the final two points hv the proponents. He said that he ha n "long stand ing feud" on the mcthoci of as sessing furm proertv but con siders that Oregon, by and large, ha an Ideal assessment pro cedure.
