The speakers, Jerry Mor tensen, Tom Ness and David Silberstein, were in Medford as part of the university's 30-year-old Symposium program, whereby every spring groups of speech students travel throughout the. state discuss ing topics of current interest before various civic organiza tions. They were introduced to the Roundtable audience by Bruce Lowell, graduate student in speech. Mortensen, a senior in busi ness administration, said Ore gon needs more tax money to support its various public agencies, but the problem, he said, is how to get it.

Mark Hatfield. Both measures will become effective 90 days after the legislature adjourns. The full crew law repre sented a victory for the rail road brotherhoods. The rail roads had introduced a bill to revoke the law which re quires three brakemen on mainline freight trains. Pollution control is aimed at ending spoilage of air and water by industrial wastes and sewage.

(UPD Mississippi Urged To Miss Conclave Gulfport, Miss. -IUPII- State Democratic party Chairman Bidwell Adam said Monday he thinks Mississippi should stay away from the 1964 na tional convention "if condi tions and circumstances are as hot as they are now." "If you don't intend to sup port the nominee, the best thing to do is not to go to the convention." said Adam, who broke with the national party last fall when federal troops were sent to the Uni- LaT Sir tv ' LaT H Lil' LaLar BbBBF ' aW to3l SI i-ISayH LVaffl aaraj as3S I e-aT I S tjb1 I IT t" .as avarJ L: BHSsasaaaal It' I i i ' Avanti-inspired... 1 i j ' v I I Bonneville-tested!

"The trouble now is that a , Ness supported the cigarette The speaker pointed out man takes home less and less as he earns more and more." He said the graduated in come approach to tax is ba sically "confiscatory" and "acts as a leveller." Mortensen argued against the proposed cigarette tax. which would levy, as it is now being considered in the state legislature, a 4 cent tax on each package of cigarettes. He labelled the measure as "discriminatory and unfair," pointing out that large seg ments of the state's popula tion would receive benefits from the tax without making any contribution to it. He also opposed property taxes, which he felt were "very unfair to to some people." Advocatas Salas Tux The speaker advocated a sales tax at a proposed 3 or 4 per cent rate, which he said could be collected on an "easy, pay-as-you-go basis." Morten sen, in addition, favored a 1 cent a gallon gasoline tax to help finance the state's road building program. Silberstein, a freshman in biology from Daly City, Cal if., said that "taxes should be paid based on ability to pay." not on a flat rate basis. Oregon's tax system is in need of "reorganization and simplification," Silberstein said, noting that estimated revenue for the next bien nium will fall about $17 mil lion short of the $405 million requested by Gov. Mark Hat field. Proposes Elastic Percentage The speaker proposed that Oregon's income tax be based i on an "elastic percentage" of the federal income tax. He too opposed the property tax. i "The aged with their limited incomes just ran't afford it." 1 he said. The third speaker, Tom Ness, a senior in snprh from Eugene, favored keeping Ore gon's tax structure "more or less as it is now." The total effect of the struc ture now is "slightly progres sive," he said. "The average person pays a slightly higher percentage tax as his income rises," Ness said, "and this is right and should be maintained." Studies Fail To Show He said the present tax sys tem "puts the burden where the burden can be borne." He said to his knowledge studies have failed to show that the graduated income tax system has any measurable effect on that if a person resented the tax, all he had to do was quit smoking, but he predicted that few would stop, or even lessen their consumption, if the measure were enacted. 6 years old U Oregon8 WMIM'-i.r-! - t Superbly smooth and mellow Fine Straight Kentucky Bourbon Taste Favorite since 1869 m 010 NItUITlOE OlSTIlUtT 60.. lOOItfllll.
