Ben Musa ID-Ihc Dalles) president-designate of the senate, termed the ses sions "very worthwhile." He said the discussions helped both freshman and veteran legislators under stand the state's complex revenue and spending problems. Tatterwall explained that Hatfield's proposed tax re form was very similar to House Bill No. 1001 which was introduced in the 19(il session, and defeated. He said the proposal would attempt "some broadening of the tax base in two way? by eliminating virtually all per sonal deductions, and by im posing a one per cent net re ceipts tax." Credit Applicable He said a $20 per depend ent tax credit would be appli cable to the regular income tax but not to the net receipt tax. He said "the proposal rep resents a significant new de parture in income taxation. It has both revenue-raising and reform aspects." In explaining other tax revenue sources, he said the properly tax has been "shrinking in significance." He said 34 states levy a sales tax, and pointed out it takes a larger share of low incomes than of high in comes.

Every newspaper headline makes it clear that this is a testing time for Americans. The Cuban crisis is one of a long and con tinuing series of challenges we face. At a time of challenge, the American future depends upon the American people: what we think, what we do, how we rise as individuals to the task of meeting great challenge with great achievement. We each have a part to play. Yours is described in the timely new citizen action guide "Challenge to Americans" of fered here which puts the crisis of the moment in the true perspective of the struggle which is likely to continue for years. The world situa tion is far more complex than the emergencies of daily headlines. As President Kennedy says: "Ve are challenged by the revolution of communism. The Communists seek power through conspiracy, terror, aggression ar,d deceit. They exploit and corrupt legitimate revolutionary forces, scavenging on poverty, ignorance, despair. "And also we are challenged by the revolution of hope in con tinents long captive to stagnation and despair. "We are challenged by the revolution in science and tech nology bringing new boons and new dangers to humanity. "We are challenged by the revolution in international relation ships. Nation has begun to work with nation to solve mankind's common problems. New international bodies are exploring un charted paths of world cooperation in the interests of world wide peace, justice, In an age of revolution, we dare not forget that we "We must match great challenges withgrea!achievements withacon slant striving lor excellence in all things. With a mature understand ing ot the magnitude, complexity, and probable long duration ot (he struggle e face. Let each ol us re solve to do something extra tor our country m this period ot trial."
