Walter Pearson (D-Portland) and Rep. John Dellenback (R-Medford), at tended the meeting here. The revised constitution was given to the Oregon Legisla ture this year after two years of drafting by the 17-member Constitutional Revision Com mission. It passed the House 41-19 after some amending, but failed to get the required two-thirds majority for pas sage in the Senate. By ZAN STARK Salem -dPt- An attempt to refer the 1963 legislature's $60 million tax increase package will be made "by several groups uniting together," the editor of the Albany Greater Oregon told UPI Saturday. J. Francyl Howard, editor of the weekly newspaper, said he was not now in a position to identify the groups. 'There will be petitions, I can assure that," Howard said. If 23,185 signatures are ob tained on referral petitions, a special election would be held in. October so voters could either reject or put their stamp of approval on the tax increase. - The recently adjourned leg islature adopted a revenue program which included a $48 million increase in state per sonal income taxes. The legislature also set aside $300,000 and an October date for a special election in case the tax package was re ferred. Howard said he expected former State Representative W. H. Gwinn of Albany to be active in the referral move ment. ' Gwinn spearheaded the suc cessful 1959 referral of legis lative action which would ed by Gov. Mark Hatfield, have removed federal taxes The governor must take ac- as a deduction for computing tion before June 26. state income taxes. Gwinn was not available Saturday for comment. Howard told UPI "If Gwinn asks our assistance, we will give it." Howard's firm also publish es the Benton County Herald in Corvallis. Both the Corvallis and Al bany weeklies commented ed itorially this week that a re ferral action was pending, and offered to support the circu lation of petitions. Howard said the papers were not leading the referral drive, but were ready to sup port it because they feel "it was a disservice for the Ore gon legislature to boost in come taxes by $60 million. "People should have the right to vote on a sales tax, and we believe the legislature should have enacted a ciga rette tax." He said the fact that the legislature set aside money and a special election date in dicated lawmakers' lack of confidence in the revenue pro gram. The income tax increase measure has not yet been sign- Jack Thompson, head of the elections division of the sec retary of state's office, said Friday that no referral peti tions had yet been filed. He pointed out, however, that it was unlikely that a petition would be filed until the governor took action on the measure. If the tax increase were defeated by the voters, Hat field probably would have to call a special legislative ses sion this fall. Lawmakers would then have to find other revenue sources to keep the state out program. of the red, and probably would order major cutbacks in state agency budgets. Before the legislature ad-7 journed. House Speaker Clar- -ence Barton pointed out such, cutbacks would probably have. " to be confined to education ' and welfare services. These two items account for more than half of the state's general fund budget, Barton' -said. ; He added 'There would be '. no other place we could make major cutbacks." At the time he made the' statement, Barton called upon' educators throughout the state ' to support the legislature's tax .
