The fate—and length—of this session will be decided by whether the legislature res ponds to the all-important question of property tax re lief, according to Speaker of the House Robert F. Smith, R- Burns. The youthful (37) cattleman and former YMCA All-Ameri can basketball player was elec ted to the speakership by the Republican-controlled House this year after serving an un precedented two terms as ma jority leader. He is back in his office, tackling a mountain of early-session paperwork, following a bout with the flu. “I believe both houses will adopt an alternate revenue method, and submit it to the neople early in the spring,” he says. “I support the governor’s urogram, but we will consider ill the alternatives.” The measure envisioned by Rep. Smith is similar to Gov. Tom McCall’s proposal and to the one which nearly came out of 1967’s special session. Rough ly, it calls for a 3 per cent re tail sales tax for revenue to reduce property taxes by 25 to 30 per cent, and imposes limitations on local spending. Local tax relief could be ac complished either by channel ing state revenue into school support or into the state’s di rect relief fund, Rep. Smith feels. The fund to aid local government units now includes state budget appropriations and half of cigarette tax re venues. All sales tax proceeds should go back, one way or the other, he says, except for the esti mated 2 per cent administra tive cost to the state. (The fi gure does not include retailers’ administrative costs.) Such a plan to relieve pro perty taxes with a sales tax is considered likely to gain Senate concurrence. The real ouestion still is how voters will treat such a choice, and the House Taxation Committee is meeting this week with cit izens in various communities to sound out public sentiment. “I think it has a good chance of passage this spring,” the Ruth Lyons, a long time Lyons resident who recently moved to Salem. Mrs. Lyons is a retired local post master •md well known in the area. All neighbors and friends are invited to attend. speaker says. “If not, we must then re-evaluate our situation —and I am in favor of an aus terity budget program which will give every dollar possible for property tax relief.” Perhaps more precisely, then, the fate and length of the 1969 legislative session will depend upon how most voters view a sales tax. If the answer is no, lawmakers could find budget-slashing proced ures carrying them into the summer months. There is another property tax relief plan, supported gen erally by the House’s Demo cratic minority, which shuns the sales tax and would give relief only to residential pro perty and farm property. Less money would be required, and proponents figure some 50 per cent relief could be found in the existing direct relief fund (now earmarked for equal re lief for all classes of property) plus revenue which would ac crue by eliminating the fed eral deduction on state per sonal income tax returns and by adjusting some user taxes. Speaker Smith generally re flects majority sentiment, how ever, in opposing departures from Oregon’s longfought sys tem of equal assessments and taxation. “When you open the door to such methods of distribu-I tian it soon becomes a pork1 barrel,” he states. “Those seg ments of society with the greatest political strength gain the greatest rewards. ‘Secondly, there are many, many people in trouble be-; cause of our property taxes—’ homeowners, agriculture, busi-. ness. By attacking the problem through a homeowner relief' plan, we help only one seg-t ment”. On phase-out of Oregon’s in-' ventory tax, another form of property tax relief, Rep. Smith I says he believes funds should be appropriated from the state to offset resulting losses to city and county governments. Phase-out plans of Gov. Mc Call and House Minority lead er Jason Boe, D-Reedsport, would not include appropria tions, in the belief that lower inventory taxes would stimu late local economic growth and broaden tax bases enough to cover initial losses. In some slow-growing counties, argues Rep. Smith, this simply would not be true. I Some other items for prior- 3—The Mill City Enterprise, Thursday, Jan. 30, 1960 sai-y work done. If he is ruf fled by criticism of his organ izational methods—for examp le, his appointment of only Re publicans to committee chair manships—it does not show. “Ten Democrats are vice chairmen,” he notes. “I wank ed to distribute ability and ex l>erience among committees for the greatest contribution to state government, and this I did from my observations and not partisan choices.” And to underscore his rea soning: “No man, especially here in the legislature, is an Island. Each must find 30 oth ers to join him if he wants to pass a bill," he smiles. “This is the real test of leg islative effectiveness, whether he may be speaker or a fresh man representative.” ity consideration in the House: —Elections: “In view of re cent court decisions, we are going to get deeply involved in Oregon’s Corrupt Practices Act, firat determining ground lules for a candidate to run f.r office. I believe there is no validity for a loser to be come a winner by court order. We should change to allow an appointee to be named, possib ly by the governor, when a winner may not legally serve.” —Beaches: “Last session’s beach bill will be changed tech nically for rezoning in line with the State Highway De partment survey and recom mendations. I support the gov ernor’s proposal to sell open market bonds to allow the Highway Department to buy those lands necessary for pub lic access and preservation; this plan would in no way in volve or compete with our highway construction pro- gram.” —Air/Water Quality: “We must first protect agriculture in the Willamette Valley, but must also find a better way to s.lve the field burning prob lem. We also have to continue closing the gap in the double uanuard which lets existing in dustry aDide by one set of anti- ixillution rules and asks in coming industry to observe an other.” The soft-spoken House lead er clearly is out to get neces- Being appreciated is a rare experience for many handicap ped people, until they come to non-profit Goodwill Industries.
