DINNER 8-10-1 1-34 A 5867-80B7"4 SAGITTARIUS NOV. 23 e OtC 22 l-40-52-65(; S6-74-77 Study Shows Residential Property Carries Large Tax A study of rctil property as sessed 111 Jackson county shows that residential proper- ty, urban and suburban, and rural tracts under 20 acres are paying approximately 60 per cent of real property tax ation, Jackson County Asses sor Ray Schumacher said Fri day. "This group represents 75 per cent of the total units as sessed and consists primarily of home-owners." Schumacher pointed out. "This is the first time such a study has been made in any Oregon county, to my knowledge." "Many opinions have been stated as to what class of properly is carrying the bur den of ad valorum taxation," Schumacher remarked "Prior to the completion of this clas sification it was not known, and was based on personal es timates. Now Jackson county can show definitely who is carrying the burden." Commercial Properties Commercial properties pay over 13 per cent of the proper ty taxes collected and repre sent 4 oer cent of the total tax units. industrial properties are less man one-naif of 1 per cent of the total units and about 8V2 per cent of the val ue. Agriculture lands of all farms over 20 acres (20 acres or more is considered a com mercial farm by the assessor's office) represent 4 per cent of the units, and approximate' ly 4 per cent of the value. Timber assessed represents 3 per cent of the total units, and 6 per cent of the value, the study shows. Other Property Other property assessed as real property represents less than 1 per cent of the total. This study and compilation shows the need for tax repre sentation of the home owner who pays the greatest share of property taxation," Schuma cher stated. "Property tax preference by exemption or preferred treatment of valua tion now is limited to the mi nority groups. Each legislative year, the legislature is faced with bills and lobbyists urg ing additional preference. I believe that the results of this study will be compara ble to all western counties in Oregon -if this classification study were made by all coun ty assessors," Schumacher said. "Eastern Oregon coun ties with large areas and small population would show a dif ferent picture. Given Some Relief "Over the past few years I have decided that the home owner should be given some relief in property taxation, so I advocated the five-point plan which would give relief to all taxpayers, not just a few who fill the halls and lob bys of our legislature." Primary purpose of the five-point plan is for proper ty tax relief and properly tax limitation, Schumacher ex plained. Property lax relief under the plan would be ac complished by redistribution of the school tax load. This plan would replace part of the school lax by en actment of a 3 per cent sales lax. It has been estimated by tax experts- that this would raise approximately $60 mil lion in Oregon, and this is con servative. This would carry one-third of the anticipated school costs in the next blen nium, Schumacher said. General Fund Revenue "Income tax and general fund revenue contributed $49,- 1 Wtiffafyj NO 4-2513 355,324.16 in fiscal year ing June 30, 1959, according to the apportionment of basic school support June, 1959, by the state superintendent of public instruction. Larger con tributions are anticipated for the next biennium. This would leave one-third of the costs to be carried by real property taxation at the local level. This could be done by districts or by a uniform county school levy. "Under this plan all tax payers would be paying for education. No one would es cape," the county assessor in sisted. "No one class of taxa tion would pay a dispropor tionate share." Property tax relief without BLM Plans Tour of Access Road Project Medford district of the bu reau of land management has scheduled a field review of the Salt Creek Access road project for prospective bid ders Tuesday, March 28.

ROE SUNDAY, MARCH 28, end-isome maximum limitation vt'nnlH iM.K' flllnut nllinp lavino districts to absorb this saving, and In a short time the proper ty taxpayers would be seek ing relief again, Schumacher pointed out. "Real property as the base for taxation has lost the ori ginal concept of ability to pay when land was the source of income," he argued. "This is brought out in the study of property classification ratio for Jackson county." The five-point plan recom mends that a limitation of 20 mills of true cash value be the maximum that real prop erty would pay, he explained. This would mean that proper ty would not be taxed at over 80 mills based on a 25 per cent ratio. "My plan proposes that dis tribution of the school taxes under the plan would be dis tributed on the average daily membership formula," Schu macher explained. "Senate Joint Resolution 31 incorpor ates the tax limitation and proposes the 3 per cent sales tax for schools This is applied as a direct offset to property tax. . "Oregon taxpayers should have the opportunity of vot ing on these amendments," the county assessor argued. "Senate Bill 474 increases basic school support to $140 with approval of the amend ment. I would like to recom mend that this be amended to include an automatic escala tor clause increasing this to income from sales tax and no surplus would be created in the school fund," he said.
