chairman of the constitution
al revision committees of both
houses, Sen. 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

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.

would order major cutbacks

Barton pointed out such,

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 '
