Hatfield-Appling
Dispute Said Only
Mailer of Views
Salem-IUPD-Gov. Mark Hat
field said Monday although
he and Secretary of State
Howell Appling Jr. have
strongly opposing views on
future of the Board of Control,
it only amounts to "a differ
ence of opinion."
Both sit on the board along
with State Treasurer Howard
C. Belton.
Appling and Belton are
against the phase of Hatfield's
reorganization plan which
would eliminate the board
and transfer the state insti
tutions to other new depart
ments. Last week Appling deliv
ered a scathing attack on the
plan. But he too emphasized
later that he and the gover
nor have not had a major
falling out over the issue.
"Anything as comprehen
sive, far-reaching and impor
tant as government reorgan
ization is going to garner up
opposition," Hatfield said. But
he added that he' has yet to
hear anyone flatly condemn
reorganization as such.
Sees No Need
Hatfield indicated he sees
no need for a bill introduced
Monday morning that would
hike interest on veterans
home and other loans from
4 to 4VS per cent. He said
the program should pay for
itself but his latest informa
tion is that it is doing so.
He indicated he would sup
port a bill that would re
store the right of a public
hearing before the state grant
ed a beach easement. Bills
sent to him Monday by the
Senate would'allow Interna
tional Paper to get a pipeline
easement across the beach
Without such a hearing.
Hatfield said the Oregon
Land Board grants many
easements of many types and
all are subject to public scru.
tiny. He is strongly in favor
of this, he said.

"She ran away with
my agent last week, but
I can't kick."
"I'm sorry to hear that,
but at least you still have
that soft job at the
studio."
"What job? They fired
me three months ago
but I can't kick."
"With all that bad luck," marveled Slezak, "why do you
keep telling me you can't kick?"
"Because," moaned the friend, "I'm in a cast from the

Proposal Would
Eliminate Any
Tax Deductions
Salem-IUPU - A radical new
approach to income tax in
Oregon which would tax in
comes twice and still cut state
income taxes by one-tenth for
many people may be temper
ed a little in an effort to win
passage through the legisla
ture. ,
The House Tax committee
is considering amendments to
soften two of the bill's most
extreme feature. A flat one
per cent income tax, and
elimination of any deductions
for charitable contributions.
The changes would restore
a slightly graduated tax, and
would permit dollar deduc
tions from the final tax bill
if charitable gifts amounted to
three per cent of the income.
Two Different Taxes
Actually, even though the
bill would tax the entire in
come twice, using two differ,
ent formulas, the total would
be lower than what most peo
ple now are paying.
If the committee goes along
with the changes, here's how
the bill, proposed by the In.
terim Tax committee, would
work:
The first tax on the income
would be called a gross in
come, or net receipts, tax. It
would amount to one-jialf per
cent for income under $2500,
one per cent for incomes from
$2500 to $25,000 and one and
one-half per cent for income
above $25,000.
On this tux, there would not
be any exemptions or deduc
tions. Effect would be to tax
some lower bracket families
now escaping any taxation.
Second Tax
Then the whole income
would be taxed again in
another way. The second tax
would be called a net income
tax, and also would have a
graduated formula that would
increase rates on higher in
comes. There would not be a $000
exemption for each dependent
as now granted.
But instead, for every ex
emption the taxpayer was en
titled to for himself, his wile
or children, he would subtract
a flat $20 from his final lax
bill.
Only other deductions the
taxpayer would get would be
for extreme losses, high medi
cal costs, or charity contribu
tions equalling at least three
per cent of his earnings.
10 Per Cent Less
The reason the average in
come tax would be 10 per cent
less than it is now, is that the
bill would bring in $20 mil
lion less than the present law.
There would also be a sav
ing in taxing a few low brac
ket families for the first lime,
and in requiring husband and
wife to file joint returns,
which would push their rates
up on the graduated scale.
Originally, the Interim com
mittee intended to make up a
good deal of the $20 million
by levying a three-cent-a-pack
cigarette tax, but Gov. Mark
Hatfield has led the fight
against thut bill and it may
die in committee.
Rep. Richard Eymann, tax
committee chairman, said he
didn't know what Hatfield
had in mind to raise the
money, if it still is needed.
One way, however, would
be to pass the new tax plan
with higher rates, even though
that would mean less tax re
lief.
