YOUR
SENATOR
REPORTS . . .
House Bill 1002. a complete
n form or Oregon s death tax
structure, has been passed by
the Iluu.se and sent to the Sen
nte.
This bill taxes property nt the
fume rate regardless of the re
lationship of the inheritor, it
taxes the estate rather than the
inheritor, it allows a marital de
duction (assuming that a wife
has helped her husband
throughout their married life
and is entitled to ownership of
half his property), and it grants
a basic exemption on estates of
S60,(X)0 rather than the present
out moded $15,000.
The Oregon Wheat League,
The Farm Bureau, the Oregon
Cattlemen's Assn., the Bar Assn.,
and the Governors Commission
on the Status of Women joined
forces in aiding me in beating
back a determined effort by the
state treasurer, who administers
the death tax, to defeat this
bill.
In the treasurer's efforts to
defeat the bill, (and all the re-1
forms in the second paragraph
are changes from our present
law) some serious deficiencies
ii; the administration of the
death tax laws in this stale
surfaced. The treasurer is now
Intensifying his efforts to de
feat the bill In the Senate.
It was determined that the
treasurer did not have sufficient
data of past estates settled to
give the tax committee any re
liable Information at all as to
the possible fiscal Impact of the
bill. He was able to tell us about
the federal statistics and the
California statistics but nothing
about the Oregon statistics.
This caused the committee to
provide that the bill should go
Into effect July 1. 1971, so that
data could be compiled by com
petent authority in the mean
time to enable the 1971 legis
lature to devise rates on an in
telligent basis, and caused me
to determine that the adminis
tration of the death tax should
be in the State Tax Commission,
which despite having faults.
keeps meticulous and readily
available statistics.
LAST IN A SERIES
The Nations View of Rural America and
Rural Electrification
(From a national study conducted for the National Rural Electric Cooper
ative Assoc ation by International Research Associates, Inc., of New York City.
y . based on 1394 Personal interviews, sampling the adult public, one-
.J,".,"?8'01" c'tles' one-third in suburban areas satellite to these cities, and
one-third in small towns and rural areas).
Future Role of Electric Cooperatives
The great majority of the American people support the
idea of the desirability of electric cooperatives within the frame
work of the electric power system in the United States. In all,
73 per cent feel that rural electric systems should continue; only
13 per cent believe they should be eventually taken over by pri
vate companies.
Obviously, this attitude stems in large part from the favor
able opinion that consumers hold of the cooperative concept. It
appears also to stem from a feeling that there is no real need to
change the status quo. There is a general feeling that the rural
electric cooperatives have been quite successful in electrifying
rural areas and apparently consumers believe that there is little
reason to change a successful formula.
Support for the cooperative concept extends directly to sup
port for the method of financing the co-ops through government
Joans at reduced rates. While the great majority are not aware
of this method, when it is explained, 76 per cent of the Amer
ican public express support for it; only 10 per cent opposed.
Acceptance of the status quo is perhaps most clearly evi
dent with reference to the involvement of government in other
aspects of the power industry. The Pacific Northwest river de
velopment and other projects of this type, once a focal point for
controversy, are now generally accepted: 84 per cent say they
feel the government should continue to develop such facilities
and generate electric power through them. And 71 per cent be
lieve that the facilities that are developed should remain under
government control.
Even greater support is expressed for government involve
ment in the development of rivers for such purposes as water
supply, recreation, flood control and pollution control. Ninety
one per cent express approval for government initiative in this
area.

It I commonly felt that big
Pes In government is something
to rear ami mistrust. I'eopie
fear It because they do not un
derstand Its operation nor Its
goals of providing service to its
const It ueu is. lliey mlslrust It
because of its sometimes awk
ward pace in attacking our
complex problems. As a result,
people for ypars have crleU out
for modernization, reduction of
red tape, a reduction of size
and the possibility of making
the government function more
like a business.
Because of the Increasing de
mands on government, especial
ly slate government, to provide
more and more services to more
and more people, it would be
impossible lo conceive of a
shrinking In size and scope. But,
there is work afoot to stream
line state government, reduce
red tape and to make It more
functional to handle the grow
ing and rapidly developing
problems. This move into the
future Is being accomplished by
reorganization measures, sug
gested by the governor, and
being considered by the 1909
Legislature.
The first step was taken this
week by the Senate, when It
passed and sent to the House,
a measure that would transform
the Kxccutive branch into the
management agency of state
government.
Would Create Central Pool
This would be done by creat
ing a coordinated but flexible
central management pool of
specialists to bring -about more
eifectlve management of the af
fairs of the state government
and its interaction with local
and federal agencies. To achieve
this improvement, the proposed
reorganization consolidates the
Department of Commerce, the
personnel management func
tions of Civil Service Commis
sion and the Public Employes'
Retirement System as an allied
function. It would also include
the Department of Emergency
services.
It is felt that the mixing of
management, planning, finance
and personnel capabilities would
broaden the scope of resources
of the Executive Department in
their decision making and prob
lems solving process. This ap
proach is akin to the team ap
proach used in business.
Not only would this change
bring about a reduction in du
plication of effort, on the parts
of various portions of govern
ment, thus reducing complicat
ed red tape and slowness in re
action to problems, but it would
also facilitate the smooth in
put of federal funds into our
reach nearly $600 million this
state, which is estimated to
reach nearly 600 million this
vear.
BiU Would Aid Elderly
A bill to extend property tax
relief to persons living in retire
ment homes was introduced this
week. It would give relief to
those people, in the same way
It Is e ven to low income peo
ple over the age of 65, who live
in their own homes. This will
aid the non-profit retirement
homes in meeting with the
growing expenses of operation.
The inventory tax will be
phased out if a bill in the House
Taxation Committee passes this
session. The measure calls for
the repeal of this tax at a rate
of 5 a year. Proponents of the
measure claim that new busi
ness, generated from the remov
al of this tax, would make up
for the lost revenue.

The Importance of Wildlife
An article in a recent issue
of the Oregon Game Commission
magazine deserves a second
reading by all who are inter
ested in preserving Oregon's
wild birds and animals. Con
fronted by an increasing num
ber of gunners who shoot any
thing, and the growing use of
insecticides, many of our song
bird species are facing extinc
tion. Many of us who witnesssed
the multitude of migratory sing
ers that spent the summer with
us seventy-five years ago know
that. We are willing to risk lives
and spend billions to gather a
handfull of moon dust, but we
are complacent about the des
truction of feathered musicians
who did and could make our
presence on earth more cheerful.
The earth would be a dreary
place to live with only people
on it.
