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.

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.”
