SIXTEEN MEOrORD (OREGOW) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, May 8, 1998 Personal Income Surtax Expected To Be Accepted Salem (U.R) The 45 per cent surtax on personal income . taxes passed by the Legislature to brine in some $44,000,000 , toward meeting an anticipated deficit in the next biennium is expected by its sponsors to be accepted by the people without challenge at the polls. But if the act should be re ferred, the Legislature which wound up its work and adjourn ed Wednesday night, made pro visions for a special election this fall to pass upon the program. Special Session Sean If the measure should be de feated, then a special session of the Legislature probably would be called, the lawmakers said. And if no other solution accept able to the people was found, it would mean, they said, that the state would have to impose a property tax for the first time in many years. The state has been using the income tax as a proper ty off -set tax, and has left the levy against property to local levels of government. Should the cigarette tax of three cents a pack designed to bring in an added $10,000,000 be referred, and not the income tax, then there would be no special election. The matter would go on the ballot in the next regular general election in November, 1956.
