No alternate source of revenue is provided. No one likes property taxes. And we all agree that some form of tax relief for home owners is imperative. But right now, property taxes are the mainstay of Oregon's grade schools, high schools and community colleges. Who pays property taxes? This year, it required $367 million in property taxes to operate the schools. Of that $367 million, homeowners paid less than half 38.5. The remainder, over 60, came from business and income property. What other revenue sources are there? The $367 million from property taxes is almost equal to all the taxes collected for the State General Fund from income and corporate taxes, liquor and cigarette taxes, corporate excise taxes, etc. That's why it would be extremely difficult to find another source of revenue that could completely replace the property Jax. Economists estimate that it would require a 9 sales tax or a 130 increase in income taxes to replace the revenue from property taxes. Here are some other possible sources of revenue, totaling under $41 million far short of the $367 million which schools would lose if Measure 9 passes. Possible alternate revenues: Item Rate Est. Income Cigarettes 4pack $12,000,000 HotelMotel 5 6,000,000 CamerasFilm 2 on wholesale 760,000 Wine 46 gal. 1,400,000 Cigars 10 of wholesale 400,000 RestaurantBar 5 17,500,000 Admissions 10 2,500,000 Total Revenue 40,560,000 Total replacement needed next year $367,200,000 These taxes would raise approximately 19 of the revenue needed to replace loss of property tax school support. Is there any tax relief in sight? Right now, the Governor, the Interim Legislative Tax Committee, labor and business groups and school organizations are working on a new approach to school funding that will substantially reduce the tax load now carried by property owners. The new tax package will be presented to the Legislature early in 1973. Who opposes Measure 9? Some of the individuals and groups opposed to Measure 9 are: Governor Tom McCall Ed Whelan, AFL-CIO Carl Halvorson, Portland Chamber of Commerce Dale Parnell, Oregon Superintendent of Public Instruction Honorable Edith Green, U.S. House ot Representatives Robert Humphreys, Farmer, Sublimity The Oregon Grange Farmers Union AFL-CIO League of Women Voters Associated Oregon Industries Oregon Congress of Parents and Teachers Oregon Education Association Oregon Women's Political Caucus Oregon School Boards Association Portland City Club Oregon Council of Churches Who supports Measure 9? The Oregon Farm Bureau, who sponsored the measure, is the only major organization to support it. They feel that the property tax places an undue financial burden on farmers. However, both the Oregon State Grange and the Farmers Union oppose Measure 9. Will schools close if Measure 9 passes? No one knows. A new source of revenue would have to be found to replace the $367 million in property taxes. Next, a new school funding program would have to be prepared and passed by the State Legislature, then voted on by the people in a special election. If voters turned down the new tax package, school operating funds would be cut by 70 on June 30, 1973. So let's not substitute a crisis for a problem!
