COUP.
Day's IVews
By FRANK JENKINS
From Salem, as this is written
Proposed cigarette taxes and the
governor's net receipts tax re
form plan were outlined to the
house tax committee yesterday by
Representative Victor Atiyeh.
The session marked the last of
five days of hearings by the com
mittee on the major revenue pro
ducing bills introduced this ses
sion. The committee will now be
gin work to determine which bill,
or combination of bills, will be
submitted to the legislature.
The cigarette and net receipts
bills both proposed by Governor
Mark Hatfield to balance his $405
million general fund budget
were sponsored by Representative
Atiyeh.
The plan to tax cigarettes four
cents a pack was approved by
Cecil Psey of the Oregon Edu
cation association. Urging a five
cent tax, with one cent to go to
cities, were Astoria Councilman
Arnold Swanson, president of the
league of Oregon Cities, Portland
Mayor Schrunk, and Eugene City
Manager Hugh McKinley.
The cities, of course, could use
the extra cent per pack income.
All governmental bodies, in these
days, are scraping the barrel for
tax money enough to keep them
going.
Not unexpectedly, the represen
tative of the Tobacco Distributors
association termed the tax dis
criminatory. Representative Atiyeh said the
cigarette tax, modeled after the
California law, would raise $18
million per biennium. That
brings into focus this bit of in
cidental information from Wash
ington: The Commerce Department re
ports that cigarette smoking de
clined by an average of TWO
CIGARETTES per person last
year the first drop since 1954.
Average consumption was 199.2
packs per person in 1962. com
pared with 199.3 packs in 1961.
The decrease will be reversed
this year, the Commerce Depart
ment predicted, with average use
of the weeds rising to 200 packs
in 1963.
That checks rather accurately
with Representative Atiyeh's esti
mate as to the amount of money
"Oregon could expect to take in
from a sales tax of five cents
per package on cigarettes.
Oregon's population is assumed
to be about 1.800.000. A tax of
five cents per pack on the aver
age 200 packs each person is
expected to smoke during 1963
would come to $10 per person.
At that rale. 1.800.000 persons
wijld pay a tax of $18,000.'
Keep this in mind:
ff you are a cigarette smoker, il
is going to cost you more than
ton dollars a year. The 200 packs
per person per year estimated
by the Commerce Department is
an AVERAGE. It includes infants
and all other non-smokers. The
average smoker will obviously
pungle up more than $10 in the
course of a year.
And-
f course
If you are a smoker and re
sent being nicked for ten dollars
a year to help balance Oregon's
budget, you can always QUIT.
In the case of other taxes, you
don't have much choice.

Resolution
Asks 'Kill'
Of Revision
By ANN H. PEARSON
United Press International
SALEM (UPI) A resolution
asking the Senate to kill constitu
tional revision for this session of
the legislature was announced to
day by Sen. Thomas Mahoney,
D-Portland.
Its chances were uncertain, but
it met with disapproval from
three legislators who carry some
weight in the Senate.
Mahoney said the Senate prob
ably will vote on the resolution in
a day or so.
It calls on the Senate Commit
tee on Constitutional Revision to
stop further consideration on the
proposed new constitution written
by the Oregon Commission on
Constitutional Revision.
Mahoney was a member of the
17-member commission and one
of its two main dissenters.
Problems Many
His resolution says many "per
plexing problems" remain to be
determined. "The matter of a new
constitution for Oregon is not onel
of immediate urgency, but rather
should await further study, delib
eralion and opportunity for public
discussion, he said.
Mahoney said it is "extremely
improbable" that the Senate
would muster the two-thirds vote
needed, along with the same vote
in the House, to send tne docu
ment to the people.
He also said the legislature
should devote "full time and en
orgies toward matters of immcdi
ate concern."
