Report Given
By Tax Group
POHTLAND lAPi A slate
joint legislative Interim Commit
tee, meeting in Portland Sunday
suggested three ways to increase
stale tax money without incrcas
ing income tax rates.
The group, polishing a report it
will submit at Ihe next session
of the Oregon Legislature, sug
gested:
Elimination of the deduclion fur
federal income taxes.
Elimination of personal exemp
tions and substitution of dollar tax
credits after the income tax is
computed.
Uequircnicnt that self-employed
persons file estimates of income
and pay taxes quarterly.
State Sen. Waller J. Pearson
(D-Portlandi. chairman of the
committee, said that he was not
making Ihe proposals as suggest
ions only not as recommenda
tions because the committee did
not want to recommend taxes
that may not be necessary.
The final report by the com
mittee will be tilled Oct. 15 and
a supplementary report will fol
