POLLUTION In its various forms was rated by 53 percent of the 856 persons surveyed in Oregon as the most serious prob lem facing their commmunity. Although the degree of con cern varied in the four survey regions of the state, the rating of other problems ran from the economy (in second place), through transportation, crime and morality, education, plan ning needs, housing and popu lation, and improvement of irri gation and drainage. Imposition of STIFFER PEN ALTIES for air pollution violat ors topped the list of programs favored to Improve environment. Next in order were stiffer pen alties for visual pollution; more parks and recreation facilities; more funds for highway and street improvement; more funds for transportation facilities and restriction of new industry in the state. A general business tax was favored as the most acceptable means of paying to "really eliminate pollution and Improve the quality or me environment. Other means mentioned In de scending order were sales tax, personal Income tax, gasoline tax, utility tax, telephone tax and property tax.

When the amount was decreased to $100 a year, the FAVORABLE RESPONSE rose to 47 percent. The report pointed out that the "Pacific Northwest has op portunities to deal with these (environmental) problems that are no longer possible in other more industrialized areas of the country. "Oregon," It was stated, "is a relatively unspoiled area, al though it is not immune to pol lution and land misuse."
