Net Receipts Income Tax Proposal Runs Into Opposition
Senate Taxation
Committee Hears
Loud Objections
Salem - JTC - Vigorous op
position to the House-approved
modlfled net receipts -fradu-a
ted income tax propoaal was
expressed Monday before tin
Senate Taxation committe.
The opposition came Irom
the Portland Chamber of Com
ber of Commerce, Anociated
Oregon Industries, the AFL-
CIO, Oregon m nesearcn
and a private tax attorney.
After almost two hours of
opposition testimony, Sen.
Walter Pearson (D-Portlaud)
commented: "Maybe we
should invite Mr. Eymann to
testify."
Main Opposition
Rep. Richard Eymann (D
Marcola) is chairman of the
House Tax committee which
drafted the proposal to raise
an additional 133 million a
hlennium.
Main opposition was to the
net receipts feature, and the
elimination of the federal in
come tax deduction.
While the Senate commit
tee made no comment, it seem'
ed likely the Senate would
strip the net receipts feature,
restore deductions tor reaerai
income taxes, adjust the rates,
and then send it to the floor.
If the Senate were to pass
such a bill, It would then have
to go to a conference commit
tee.
Rate Too High'
Rlchai a Brown and Robert
Hall of the Portland Chamber
of Commerce argued the
House bill's rate structure was
too high, and said a proposed
$22 tax credit could not ex
pand the tax base.
Hall said the major share
of the state's income taxes
now were paid by 2S per cent
of the taxpayers, and that the
House measure would In
crease their tax burden.
"You can't expect 25 per
cent of the families to edu
cate everyone else's children,"
he said.
The chamber proposes Z'i
per cent net receipts tax, with
expanded capital gain relief
and reduced property taxes.
Opposed by Labor
Tom Scanlon, AFL - CIO
said organized labor opposed
the House bill primarily be
cause of the "grass Income
tax," his term far the net re
ceipts proposal. He said labor
favored eliminating the fed
eral deduction.
Scanlon commented that
eliminating the federal deduc
tion would raise ISO million
a blennium.
Portland Tax Attorney Dav
id Patullo said high bracket
taxpayers were leaving Ore
gon because of the tax struc
ture. He said eliminating the
federal deduction would send
more high bracket taxpayers
out of state.

Italian Communist Leader Predicts
Downfall of Fanfani's Government
Rome - HOT - The powerful
Communist party polled one
out of every four votes in
Italy's crucial national elec
tions and today served notice
that this country should chart
a "new political course."
Communist party leader
Palmiro Togliatti, in a post
election statement, indicated
that the Reds would pull the
political rug out from under
Christian Democratic Premier
Amintore Fanfani and h i s
center-left government.
New High tor Reds
The Communists have re
corded a gain in every Italian
election, and the 25.7 per cent
they picked up in the latest
parliamentary voting ounnay
and Monday carried them to
a new high.
Togliatti promptly used the
gain as a lever to hint that
five years of political Insta
bility possibly lie ahead for
Ihe country, because even
though the Christian Demo
crats emerged as the largest
tingle pnrly their total was
not enough to permit them to
govern alone.
The Red boss hinted that
his party's victory should
bring the Socialists back to
the Communist fold. The So
cialists headed by Petro Nennl
have been supporting Fan
fani's coalition reRtme.
Could Make Decisions
Togliatti hinted (hat Ihe
Communists and Socialists,
who between them carry
nearly 40 per cent of the votes
In Parliament, could decide

"It seems to me certain that
a new political course has
been opened in Italy," Togli
atti said, "in which the Initia
tive of our party and of left
wing democratic forces if
united could have a decisive
part."
His statement added that
"our party has obtained a
great victory."
Togliatti's words carried the
threat of political instability
for this NATO member na
tion. If the Communists and
Socialists team up. at tho" rt:'l
In the "People's Front" in
1948, they could cause endless
trouble in parliament.
Christian Democrats Down
With five-sixths of the vote
counted, the Christian Demo
crats polled 37.2 per cent of
the vote, down from their
1958 figure of 42.4 per cent.
At this noint, the Socialists
also were running behind
their 1058 figures. They polled
13.8 per cent of the vote this
time, compared wlh 14.2 per
cent in 1958.
The Neo-Fascists went up to
5.8 per cent from 4.8 per cent,
Social Democrats 6 per cent
from 4.5 per cent. Liberals
6.9 per cent from 3.5 per cent,
while the Monarchists drop
ped to 1.8 per cent from 4.8
per cent five years ago. The
Republicans polled the same
1.4 per cent they did in the
last elections, while all others
fell from a total of 1.7 per
cent five years ago to 1.4 per
cent at present.
Most Votes Counted
With only three of the coun
try's 80.472 precincts still to
be heard from, the final re

the Senate appeared to be:
Christian Democrat and Re

chances were dim anyway.
