Rep. Robert Duncan, seek ing reelection, his wife Mari jane, hopeful of joining him in the House, and Senatorial candidate Gordon Hudson were allotted 15 minutes each for their answers. They appeared before an estimated 45 people at the weekly noon roundtable ' of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce. The three Re publican aspirants are sched uled to appear next -week. One question was: "At the 1957 Legislature, the 'caucus system was used to a far greater extent than ever be fore. Do you favor the prin ciple of the caucus system at the State legislature?" Robert Duncan, evidently sensing it as a dig at his party answered it first. Denied Control He denied that the votes of Democratic representatives were controlled by the party's Multnomah county legislators. He further denied that House Democrats ever agreed to be bound by the will of a party caucus. "In any Democratic caucus in the House," Duncan said, "I was free to vote any way I wanted." He added that he was "never required to vote against conscience." He said the purpose of a caucus was "to exchange ideas," and that it "serves a real function." Marijane Duncan answer ed the question hypothetical ly. "What do you mean by the caucus system?" she be gan. If, she went on, the ques tion meant "Should members be bound by the will of the caucus?" the answer was, "No." "If abused," she said, "yes, it could be very bad." Nothing Wrong ' Gordon Hudson replied, "There is nothing particularly wrong with aj political group meeting to decide policies. If I'm elected to the Senate I'll vote as an individual." The first question, on un employment compensation, contained three parts. Asked if benefits and eligibility re quirements should be restrict ed, remain the same or made more liberal. Marijane Duncan replied, they "should perhaps be tight ened;" Hudson replied, I think they should be restricted, with closer policing of recip ients." ' Time Runs Out Duncan, who answered all the questions in reverse or der, ran out of time before SP 2-4449 STANDARD OIL answering . Part "b" of the first ques tion asked the candidates if they would be in favor of employee contributions to an expanded unemployment com pensation program if the issue came up. "I question," Mrs. Duncan said, "the value of employee contributions as it would make it more difficult to tighten up eligibility require ments." "I would be in favor if it was going to be expanded," Hudson replied. The third part concerned changing the name of "un employment compensation" to "employment security," a change understood to be fav ored by labor interests. Both Mrs. Duncan and Hud son were against the change. Business Climate The second question, on Oregon's business climate, concerned whether the can didates would favor "a pro posal permitting manufactur ers to include equipment and machinery as a personal prop erty tax off-set against their 6 per cent corporate excise tax and extending this broad ened tax pff-set privilege to all business firms in Oregon." "I would have no hesitation at all," Duncan said, "in re instating the tax off-set if bus iness interests feel it neces sary." He added that he thought the rate adjustment would require further study. Mrs. Duncan said she did not feel qualified to discuss this question. Hudson replied, "I believe it is an unfair tax. -It is not a tax on ability to pay but on the method of business." The third question, on the state budget and taxation, was divided into four parts. First, did the candidates fa vor an increase of the budget over the last biennium? Dun can's reply was typical of that given by all three candidates. "I did not and do not favor an increase," Duncan replied. "But we Have to face the facts of life. It's difficult to stem the tide of demands for new services without trying to cut existing services. Any cut would have to be a cut in ser vices." On Taxation The question's fourth part asked "what areas of taxa tion would you favor as the fairest method of raising the difference?" If general fund revenue was not going to meet "a carefully considered, mini mum budget." Duncan mentioned a sales tax. "It will come in time," he said. Mrs. Duncan said the state would be "perhaps a little better off to work with the tax program we now have. I COMPANY OF 12- .V would not oppose a sales tax" she replied, "if people in my area wanted it strongly." But she referred to . "the dangers inherent" in such a tax, including the dropping of exemptions as more money was needed. "I'm not against the sales tax," Hudson said, "if we know what it means and where it's taking us." Voting Bond Issues The subject of the fourth question was "voting bond is sues." Did the candidates be lieve that property owners only should be allowed to vote? "Property ownership is no longer a significant indication of the ability to pay," Dun can replied. "No," Mrs. Duncan said. "There wouldn't many pass if property owners alone voted," Hudson said. On the subject of basic school support, the candidates were asked in the fifth ques tion first if they favored an increase. "I certainly would favor an increase," Duncan replied, "primarily because it repre sents some relief on real prop erty." i ' "I would very much like to see an increase," Mrs. Duncan said. "If it would relieve our real property tax I would fa vor it," Hudson said. But, he reflected, the money would have to be raised anyway, and it might prove to- be merely "a trade of dollars." Interrupts Questioning U. S. Rep. Charles O. Por ter interrupted the question ing at one point to declare he considered the questions "lop sided" and "obsessed: with taxes." "A Chamber of Commerce is usually a promotion out fit," he said. Where, he asked, was their concern with "how to im prove Oregon as an income producing state"? He referred to coastal trade, tourism, far ming and better and fuller use' of forest products . as more suitable subjects. Jerry Latham, chairman of the governmental operations committee, replied "that this particular1 meeting was con cerned with problems of the state legislature.
