Vernon Cook (D-Troutdale) said today he had filed a mi nority report to findings of the Legislative Interim Tax committee and that he op posed a proposal to tax cig arettes. " Cook said he agreed with the majority , of many of the findings but could not join in recommendation for revi sion of the income tax law. He said he believed any surplus available at the 1961 session should be used to re duce property taxes and made available for use in education and public welfare; that in the absence of the require ment that income tax reve nues be increased above their present level he did not be lieve it necessary to impose a gross income tax "which in its effects disregards the abil ity to pay"; that he opposed substitution of a cigarette tax for a part of the tax now raised through the personal income tax system, and that the proposed bill while cut ting total revenue "actually increases the tax burden on a very high percentage of those now paying income tax. and imposes the greatest ini tial burden on low income earners with moderate to large families." He said he did not' consider a cigarette tax to be a fair tax and called it "nothing more than a selective sales tax."
