A Package at Too High a Price
The question of whether Oregon will have a sales tax will
be decided Tuesday when voters go to the polls at the special
election on the "tax package."
One thing that probably everyone can agree on Is that
a large number of voters should take time to ballot in order
that the wishes of the majority are clear.
This is a very important matter, and probably by now,
most persons have made up their minds how they will vote.
The choice is one that each will have to make for himself as
he determines what is best for himself, the state, and all Its
people.
We remain unchanged In our position although the pro
ponents of the tax package have sought to plug loopholes that
have made the sales tax a tough pill for the public to swal
low. We will vote no Tuesday for many reasons. We are con
vinced that the sales tax is basically unfair and discrimina
tory against those with need for larger amounts of consumer
goods (such as large families). True, food (to be eaten off
the premises) and drugs are exempt, but clothing and other
family needs are not.
We do not believe that the sales tax will reduce the aver
age person's total tax bill. Studies have Indicated that the
opposite Is true that the "average" person will pay more
total tax. (See the chart in the Voter's Pamphlet). The tax
payer's problem is not what the particular tax Is called it is
the amount of the bill he has to pay in proportion to the
amount of money he has to pay it with. Proponents seek to
refute this argument, but we are not convinced that they are
right.
We believe that the tax will be costly to collect, that it
will impose additional burden on small business, that it will
require additional bookkeeping to harass people already over
worked, that it will hurt the farmer, that it will be a nuis
ance in making sales transactions.
The 1 of the taxes that the retailer will be allowed to
Tetain to compensate for his costs would only be a small
token of the time, expense and bother that it will require of
him.
We believe that greatest recipients of the relief will be
large business and private utilities, which will benefit the
most from the property tax reductions for which the sales
tax is earmarked. The sponsors have sought to equalize this
by increasing the corporation excise tax, as one provision of
the "package," to 9 from the present 8 for financial insti
tutions and to 7 from the present 6 for other corporations.
What will the latter do to bank interest rates?
We are fearful that opening the door to the sales tax will
set the stage for higher sales tax in the future this despite
the fact that this bill earmarks all receipts for reduction of
property tax and despite the fact that the rate could not be
Increased without another constitutional amendment. Is any
one so naive as to Deiieve there will not be another "emer
gency" a few years hence when such an additional constitu
tional amendment will be proposed? All one need do is to
look at the State of Washington where the sales tax has gone
to 4 and the state Is still seeking other means of revenue.
The proposal would provide for new tax bases for school
districts, which would eliminate their need for budget elec
tionsfor a time. However, the budgets could be increased
only 5 per year, and chances are that many would have to
submit their budgets to vote again before many years passed.
This would be more difficult for them under the bill because
it also limits the number of elections that may be held on
the budgets.
Property tax relief is needed, true. But the crying need
Is not for a sales tax. The crying need Is to reduce the aver
age taxpayer's total tax bill.
We reiterate that there is too much waste In government.
The average person sees dozens of examples every day. He
sees the federal and state governments spending money care
lessly and needlessly. It has come to such a place that many
government employees have a badly distorted idea of what
is essential and what is non-essential.
The small businessman knows. So do the farmers. They
see their tax money wasted every day in a manner that they
would never even consider in the operations of their own bus
inesses. They sweat and toil to pay the taxes for this care
less stewardship of public funds.
The majority of the legislature has not correctly read the
signs in doggedly proposing this tax package. We believe that
the people will demonstrate next Tuesday that they don't
want it.
What they do want is more solid, real economy. Both
the state and federal government should hire some hard-nosed
efficiency experts to delve into every facet of government and
cut out the non-essentials. A few Morrow county ranchers
could serve well in that capacity!
The real crime remains at the federal level where billions
are being wasted. It's just too bad that the people don't have
the opportunity for popular vote on some of these things
the billions proposed for the ABM system, for Instance.
You might remember, too, when you cast your vote at the
election Tuesday that a vote for the sales tax is also a vote
to take more of your voice away from you. When the expen
diture comes from the state or federal level, you as John Q
Citizen have no direct vote on it

YOU MIGHT SAY that this
week's column is concerned
with the future of journalism
for we propose to dedicate it to
kccond graders at Heppner tie
mentarv school. They have been
studying about newspapers and
have published their own pa
per. "Sifond Grade Headlines.'
On Thursday of last week, Mrs,
Luciie Peck brought her second
traders down to The Gazette
Times for the "cook's tour." Al
though the Youngsters were lm
oressed with what they aw and
showed enthusiastic interest, I
think our staff was more Jm
pressed wilh them than they
were with us.
Since their visit, we've been
reading their paper, and we
find considerable news in the
community that we had not
known.
Here are some of the stoiles
from "Headlines :
Craig Robi.son and C. J. Balfe
will be new shoe shiners at
Dick's Barber Shop. Maybe in
the summer or fall."
MIKE BRINGS TICK TO
SCHOOL Well, it all started
when my Father came home
from the woods. When he went
into the bathroom, the tick fell
off. Then in the morning my
Mother found it. When I got up,
she gave it to me. So I took it
to school and that is where H
Is now."
"SECOND GRADE VISITS
NEW BUILDING. The Second
Grade went to the new Colum
bia Basin Electric Co op build
ing on May 9. The new build
ing is beautiful. In the confer
ence room there was a carpet
and a movie screen. If you
want the garage door to go up
or down, all you do is press
a button. The rock on the out
side is very pretty. It is sand
stone, I think."

SPORTS: Kickball. We have
kick ball teams. The Blue Team
beat the Red Team by 22-0. The
Red Team beat the Blue Team
by 6-5 and 9-4. Today Ron
Young slipped on base. He fell
into a mud puddle. Was he

He tried to kick the ball and

BLACK TOP ON PLAY
GROUND. The man took the
ground out. One tractor was
used and some trucks were used
too. And there was one steam
roller. Our class watched the big
tractor pick up the grass. It was
real noisy. It took three days
to do it. They put a black top
under the swings. We now play
giving us the maps and metal
leads. Very truly yours, Maur
een Healy,
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Sherman,
I like the metal names. And
the folding machines. And the
press. I like the Fairchild. The
rollers was neet to. When the
metal when It was hot boy it
hurt. The Ink was stinky. Very
truly yours, Ron Ward.
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Sherman,
I like to go to the machines
to wach it operat. I like the
folding machines best of all.
The thing I didn't like was that
ftink house. Mr. Raymond,
thank vou for showing us
around. Very truly yours, C. J.
Baue. phthank you.
WE MIGHT explain that the
stink" which left an impres
slon with the kids was the odor
of burning plastic from the
Fairchild Scan-A-Graver. which
makes the picture engravings
for the paper. And they're
right, the printer's ink is stinky,
too!
Well, out of a gang as lively
as this bunch there should be
at least one who will be on
the New York Times staff some
day.

Before each Legislative Ses
sion informal goals are set for
the lawmakers to accomplish.
These goals are set by opinion
makers, editorial writers, legis
lators and the citizenry of the
state. With the end of the 55th
session, I believe the 90 lawmak
ers can boast of a most product
ive session.
Probably the only major cas
ualty of the entire session was
the failure of the Legislature to
pass legislation aimed at pro
viding better facilities, staffing
and salaries for itself and its
employees.
Executive Reorganization
Executive reorganization has
been the pet project of Oregon's
governors over the last few dec
ades. However, the success of
previous reorganization was
limited. This is, not the case
this session with- six of the sev
en of the governor's proposals
being accepted by the lawmak
ers. These proposed changes in
elude:
. . The abolition of the
member Board of Control, which
administers the state's 11 insti
tutions. This board will be re
placed by the Division of Hu
man Resources which is direct
ly responsible to the governor
for Its activities.
. . The creation of an en
vironmental quality control de
partment.
. . . The executive department
which lumps several depart
ments together, to create a co
ordinated but flexible central
management pool of specialists
to bring about a more effective
management of state affairs in
its relations with federal and
local agencies.
. Department of Transpor
tation and
. A revenue division to re
place the tax commission.
Taxation
Property tax relief was again
the key issue of this session.
This problem was dealt with
virtually at the beginning of the
session with the referral of a
3 sales tax to the people for
their approval or' rejection June
3.
Also the Legislature is put
ting the finishing touches on a
proposal that will give business
its long awaited inventory tax
relief.
Education
One of our primary concerns
each year is education. Again
this session we have added ad
ditional funding amounting to
$20 million to our basic school
support to the state's 356 school
districts. This will bring the
budget up to S15S million for
the biennium.
We have taken steps to aid
our private colleges and univer
sities by providing a $100 grant
per student. This is an attempt
to maintain our fine private
higher educational system which
provides instruction to 5,703
Oregon residents. Also, we have
appropriated $165 million to op
erate our state's 10 universities
and colleges.
Urban Affairs
To aid in some of our urban
problems, the Legislature has
produced a mass transit bill
which would provide for a sys
tem to handle our growing pop
ulation difficulties in Oregon's
metropolitan areas. Also we
have created a Metropolitan
Service District. This super dis
trict will be able to coordinate
the services necessary for the
functioning of the metropolitan
area. These services include
water, sewage, air pollution,
and solid waste.
To aid in annexation of one
area to another we have creat
ed a Boundary Board Commis
sion. Ccurt System
To insure that every person
has the right to receive fair
treatment by our judicial sys
tem, according to our constitu
tion, the legislature remodeled
our court system by creating an
appeals court. The court will
consist of five judges and will
direct its attention toward re
lieving the Supreme Court of
45 of the current work load
in criminal, probate, domestic
relations, and state agency ap
peals cases. This change is nec
essary because of Oregon's in
crease in population; its 68 in
crease in the number of appeals
filed over the last four years,
and the expanded work loads
on the courts because of recent
Federal Supreme Court rulings
that provide greater protection
to individuals charged with a
crime.
Land Usage
The legislature took action to
insure that agricultural lands
stay as such for our generations
by passing a zone-usage bill.
The bill would zone counties,
through their own direction, to
stop the acreage erosion of our
agricultural land.
Probate Code
This session the lawmakers
completely revamped Oregon's
laws pertaining to wills and set
tling of estates. This was the
culmination of four years work
by a committee set up by the
Legislature, and will greatly
help the citizens because of the
tremendous reduction of red
tape in probates.
Drug Abuse
Through action of the closing
days, the Mental Health Divis
ion is now able to beef-up out
patient care to provide for vol
untary treatment of drug ad
dicts.
One of the biggest break
throughs was House Bill 1691
which allows the state to fur
nish users of hard narcotics a
synthetic drug. This treatment
allows the addict to drop expens
ive narcotic habits, usually sup
ported by thefts, robberies and
prostitution, and to go on doses
of methadone costing only ten
cents and having none of the
ill effects of heroin.
Also legislation was passed to
stiffen the penalties of mari
juana and LSD pushers, and re
duce the punishment on those
who use the two drugs. This is
to get at the pusher, rather than
the user.
This summary is only a small
portion of the legislation pass
ed by this year's assembly. But,
believe from this summary
you can see that the lawmakers
were busy during the 124 days
of the 1969 session.

Ponderings
By W. S. CAVERHILL
A Novel Idea
One morning recently, when
our coffee club was in session,
a stranger approached. We in
vited him to join us. Conversa
tion turned to taxes. That shook
him loose. He startled us with
a novel idea and presented fig
ures to support it.
"Have . you fellows noticed
how many people in public serv
ice are basing their claim for
compensation on their capital
investment in education? For
example, if a qualified special
ist has invested $30,000 in prep
aration for his line of work, ,
Kerhaps he should pay taxes on
is investment. Cert a i n 1 y a
farmer who has invested $30,000
in land and equipment has to
pay taxes on it whether he
makes or loses."
The fellow didn't ask our
opinion. He didn't want it.
