the initiative's passage, but

made public.
In addition, Bellamy said,
proposition 6 "was not written
for Oregon law," noting that
"many other aspects of the
ballot measure are not good in
terms of the way it was
written."
While not offering whole
hearted support for the pro
perty tax initiative, Bellamy
expressed apprehension on
what would happen should the
measure be voted down.
"If it doesn't pass, govern
ment officials will ignore the
pleading for lower taxes," he
said.
Bellamy said that his cam
paign has been underlining the
need for state government to
become "fiscally responsible"
to its taxpayers. "I will not
support any bill that increases
taxes or introduces new
taxes," unless such legislation
clearly earmarks specifically
where the funding will be
spent.
While terming Oregon's cur
rent property tax system
"regressive," Bennett said he
opposed ballot measure six.
Should the measure be
approved, Bennett said he
believed the urban-oriented
Legislature would "place the
farmers' exemption on the
chopping block."

state spending, the measure's
passage would really serve to
limit the spending, and thus

the Democratic candidate.
Should a community decide it
needed a tax base above $2, 50
per thousand dollars of asses
sed valuation to fund a special
project, it couldn't be done
should measure 6 pass. A local
government's ability to raise
its own taxes "is a freedom it
should be able to enjoy," he
said.
The candidates were asked
their positions on current
federal proposals to desig
nated vast tracts of U.S.
Forest Service land as wilder
ness area, as outlined in the
Rare II program. Both candi
dates indicated they opposed
massive wilderness designa
tions. "The National Forests were
established for multi-purpose
use, and they should remain
open for multi-purpose use,"
said Bennett, adding that he
believed the U.S. Forest
Service is overreacting to
"public interest legal action."
legal action."
Bellamy said wilderness
status for vast forest tracts
"eliminates resource manage
ment." He noted that he

The board delayed action on
setting a new tax base.
Doherty recommended going
to the voters in November
with a five-year package, in

adjustments.

will not likely be completed
until October, which could
result in canceling shop clas
