Sales Tax Package Awaits Decision Of Voters Tuesday (Continued from page 1) ing whool programs. 4. Specialized tax relief Is provided to the elderly and low Income personsthe two groups that many feci are carrying a disproportionate load that often forces them to vote against school tax measures. 5. The state tax base for the support of public services would be broadened. Disadvantages that it cites: 1. There is no new monev for schools In the package. All pro ceeds of the sales tax would go to reducing property taxes, not to Increasing revenues for elementary and secondary schools. 2. The 5 per year increase allowable without a vote Is not sufficient to cover inflation, selary increases, and other in creases In costs. 3. The sales tax represents the last major source of tax reve nue. Using It for property tax relief, as this measure will do, will eventually force local gov ernments to turn once more to property taxes for revenues needed in the future. Others Take Positions Other groups also have ar gued the pros and cons from other points of view such as business from the standpoint of the cost of collection of the tax, which Is at least partially off set by a 1 reimbursement to the retailer for his collection costs. Opponents believe the sales tax to be discriminatory in that those with large families, which require a sizable quantity of consumer goods, will pay more sales tax than smaller families I or single persons with less needs, even though the large family may have considerably leas income in proportion. Oregon cities and towns close to the boundaries of adjacent states are generally strongly op posed to the sales tax package because they gain considerable revenue from shoppers in the other states who come across the line to trade and avoid the sales taxes they face at home. Voted Down to Dot The sales tax has been ar gued for years in Oregon but in the past voters have turned It down on every try on the bal lot. However, proponents point out that it has not been placed uerore voters lor manv vears and that times now are differ ent with a much greater bur den on property. What the voter turnout will be Is hard to determine. While there is great interest In the tax situation, there Is always considerable voter lethargy when only one issue Is present ed. The public meeting held Fri day with Marion D. Thomas, public policy education special ist, here to explain the matter, under sponsorship of the Farm Bureau, brought a very sparse turnout, despite the sponsors ef forts to publicize the meeting and draw a crowd. Whether this indicates a lack of interest or whether It indicates that the voters' minds are made up will be determined as of June 3.
