Uovel State Income Tax Plan
Draws Interest of Committee
Salem - (UPD - House Tax
Committee m e m b e r ex
pressed interest in a novel
state income tax plan here
Wednesday.
But they appeared unrecep-
tlve to a proposal to send a
sales tax plan out to voters.
even after seeing a proposed
ballot.
The Mosser income tax
plan and the Rogers-McKinnis
sales tax proposals occupied
the committee Wednesday as
it continued a general survey
of major revenue raising
measures.
Also before the committee
are the governor's net receipts
income tax, the Musa income
tax plan, the Eymann-Over.
hulse income tax for property
tax relief, and the cigarette
tax bill.
Rep. John Mosser (R-Bea
verton) said his plan would
raise some $43.5 million in
new revenues.
Features Listed
Its essential features are a
flat 5 per cent tax, with in
creased exemptions to give
lower bracket relief. It would
eliminate the federal income
tax and capital gains deduc
tions, and allow other deduc
tions only in excess of 10 per
cent of income.
Mosser said in spite of the
flat rale, his plan in effect
would retain the graduated
income tax because of the ex
emptions. He said key features of the
plan were its simplicity and
the removal of pressure on
tax payers to escape higher
tax brackets.
Mosser said taxpayers In
the lower brackets are carry
ing most of the income tax
load now. He said Oregon's
income tax under the present
graduated structure averages
out at 5.1 per cent.
Reps. Joe Rogers (R-Inde-pendence)
and Don McKinnls
(D- Summerville) said the leg
islature should submit a sales
ax plan to the voters.
Rogers said the voters
should be given alternative
tax plans, plus a chance to
reject both of them. He added
a legal precedent for a vote
on a choice of tax plans was
set in 1947 when the voters
defeated cigarette and sales
taxes.
The Rogers 3-cent sales tax
would raise some $152 million
a biennium. The McKinnis
plan, which exempts food,
would raise about $128 mil
lion. Both would use part of the
take for property tax relief.
Rogers said he thinks any
tax plan will get to the voters
sooner or later. He said the
legislature could increase
public confidence and reduce
organized resistance by a re
ferral. Rogers conceded a sales
tax would shift a burden onto
the average consumer. But he
said it is this consumer, rath
er than property and business
interests, that is asking for in
creased services such as
schools, welfare and police.
McKinnis said a sales tax,
in effect, would tend to
"equalize" the tax burden.
McKinnis said farming is
worth $500 million a year,
and Rogers said unless prop
erty taxes are relieved,
"You're going to drive a great
many farmers out of this Wil
lamette Valley."

In Safety Program
Mayor James Dunlevy has
announced enrollment of the
city of Medford in the 1963
AAA Pedestrian Safety pro

gon State Motor association.
The city's pedestrian acci
dent prevention activities and
the actual pedestrian death

dent records receive awards.
"The AAA Pedestrian Safe
ty program has two impor
tant values to cities that
enter and file pedestrian acci
dent reports," Charles E.
Snell, president of the Oregon
AAA motor club, said.
It enables city officials to
evaluate the effectiveness of
their own accident prevention
activities and it serves as a
national recognition for the
safety work of city officials
who win awards as a result
of the program and accident
record.

Limit on Number
In School Class
Sacramento fUPD A power
ful group of state senators
was preparing legislation to
day that would set a limit on
the number of students in a
public school class.
A spokesman for the group,
who declined to be identified,
said that the men had not yet
settled on a limit, but that
they were consulting various
studies and suggestions.
The legislation was certain
to cause a furor in public
schools, where many adminis
trators are already angry at
a legislative attempt to cut
class sizes by requiring the
schools to spend more money
for teachers.
The legislature made its
attempt two years ago when
it passed a bill requiring ele
mentary districts to spend 60
per cent of their income on
teachers' salaries. High school
districts were required to
spend SO per cent and unified
districts 55 per cent.
The bill's author. Assembly
man Charles B. Garrlgus (D
Reedley) said that he believed
the schools were underspend
ing for teachers, not because
of a fund shortage but be
cause they were spending too
much on administrators and
other non-teaching employees.
This is the same opinion
held by the senators who are
preparing the new legislation.
However, they believe that
their approach will clamp
down on administrative costs
even harder than the old Gar
rigus bill, which they sup
ported. Actually, according to Gar
rigus, his bill has not been in
effect a full year because of
technical delays in the start
of its operation. However,
legislation has been intro
duced in the current session
to repeal it.
Sen. Donald Grunsky (R
Watsonville) author of the re
peal, said that because of the
Garrigus bill many school dis
tricts were being forced to cut
expenditures for instructional
supplies, books and "enrich
ment" materials, post pone
maintenance, and curtail or
reduce the number of librar
ians and counselors.

Raising Academic Standards
For Higher Education Proposed
Salem -OTD- Raising tuition
fees will not result in big de
creases in out-of-state enroll
ments, the Ways and Means
higher education subcommit
tee was told here Wednesday.
Legislative fiscal officer
Kenneth Bragg said a better
method would be to raise aca
demic standards. He said that
2,709 of Oregon's 6,264 out-of-state
students come from
California where tuition in
state colleges is $76 and at
state universities $150.
Committee members then
turned to projected enroll

Barry gave statements to

on Check Charge
five of which he cashed in
Medford stores. The sixth
check was passed in a Phoenix
store, he said.

whether higher education's
projections were low or high.
He suggested setting $2 mil
lion aside in the emergency
board in case the estimates
were low. '
Rep. Stafford Hansell (R
Hermiston) said he might ask
that out-of-state enrollments
be limited to 10 per cent of
an institution's freshman
class.
Bragg opposed a suggestion
by Rep. John Mosser (R-Bea-verton)
that the legislature
appropriate an "open end"
amount to be based on actual
enrollment.
In discussion of projected
enrollments, it was brought
out that some figures were
based on present high school
enrollments, and others on a
percentage of persons between
18 and 24 years of age.
Hanesll's attempts to get all
the statistics relating to a sin
gle set of figures brought
chuckles from fellow members.
Higher Education Chancel-
lor Roy E. Lieuallen explained
that lower and higher educa
tion had coordinated their fig
ures so that there 'would be no
overlapping. He admitted en
rollment projections were un
certain and "could go either
way."
He also told committee
members he wanted "to take)
a look" at Bragg's suggestion
to place Si! million with the
emergency board.
