U' HARVEY JR petitions would be signed, delaylnc and It would be submitted to the It's true that the legislature could make up any deficit by having a state property tax for the first time in 30 years. But the legislators think that property already is soaked enough by local taxes, Also, the people probably will pass a bill next November to limit any state property tax to only 6 mills. Where could the budget be out? talking, it looks like the schools would sutler from any big budget cut. Of the state's total budget, ed ucation gels 50. 8 per cent. This Includes 36.3 per cent for public schools, and 16.5 per cent for the state university and . colleges. Public welfare gels 17.6 per cent, and state Institutions 11.3 per cent. All other state appropriations total only 30.4 per cent of Uie budget. The legislative tax authorities feel thai the only place where any big reduction can be made in In that 36.3 per cent for public schools which Is the state's basic school aid to local districts, If that school help Is reduced or eliminated, il would put Uie burden of paying school costs back on Uie local districts, which would mean higher local properly taxes. However, there are a 'aw rays of hope, such as the fact that Income tax collections are higher, and that I lie people might vote the I'ltiurct tax of 3 cents a packnge In Novem ber. But there are other gloomy signs, too. Increased federal Income tax rates probably will reduce this year's income tux collections, be muse federal taxes are deducted from Oregon tax returns. Another gloomy sign Is Inllntlon, which keeps slate government costs mounting rapidly. a if ru in A RnMlAl session the tax until the general election In November, 1954. During 1953 and 1954. this tax couldn't be collected, and the state would go broke. Oregon would have to Issue warrants like It did in 1933. Its credit, not very good now because of the slate's rapidly in creasing debt, would be worthless. But Paulus' Idea of a special session would get around that. It would let the 1953 legislature know exactly w here It would stand. The Legislative Interim Tax Committee would draft a tax bill. special session. By September, the of the Oregon legislature next fall looks like a good possibility. Oov Douglas McKay, a staunch foe of special sessions, admits It might amount needed would be known. This tax bill would be passed at the special session, and then be submitted to the people at a special election In November or December, If the people approved the new tax, then the 1963 legislature could continue spending on the present scale. But l the people defeated It, then the lawmakers would whack the state budget down by 40 mil lions, or whatever is needed. "0ldat40,50,60?"
