In The Legislature
By GKORGK r. Fl.lTCRAf'T
Readers of the last column will
recall that the history of our
disappearing surplus was traced
and (hat the important points of
tne .Net Receipts tax measure
(H.B. I08.ii were outlined.
Several additional tax proposal'
have been introduced including
one by Senator .lohn Hare, Wash
ington County, which calls lor a
simple 10 per cent reduction in
income taxes.
Continuing the task started
that of examining each of the
maior tax measures H.B. 1014 in
troduced by Representative Musa
proposes to broaden the income
tax base by three methods: it1
reduce the personal exemptions
and credits for dependents from
Two 'Crises'
Seen Strain
On Forces
WASHINGTON i UP! '-The Air
Force told Congress today that its
tactical forces may not. be able
. to deal with two crises at the
same time.
Air Force Secretary Eugene M
Zuckert said experience gained
from the Cuban and Berlin crises
indicated that the quality and
quantity of tactical fighters "may
not be adequate to cope with two
or more simultaneous contingen
cies."
Zuckert and Air Force Chief of
Staff Curtis LeMay testified be
fore the House Armed Services
Committee, which is holding "mil
itary posture" hearings. Today's
session was behind closed doors
hut opening statements of IeMay
and Zuckert were made public.
Zuckert told the committee that
the Air Force was studying pro-pa-als
for improving tactical
forces, the military term applied
to fighter planes and airlift air
craft. Among the steps plann-d
he said, was the development o(
the all-purpose supersonic fighter
to be used jointly by the Air
Force and Navy.
Roth Zuckert and LeMay also
called for improvements in the
V S. air defenses.
"Our present fighter systems
are aging and would not be effec
tive against Soviet supersonic and
even subsonic bomher attacks with
Advanced "stand-off, missile sys
tems." Zuckert said. "Accordingly
intensive study is being given to
the need for development of an
improved manned interceptor."
The Air Force is known to be
concerned over several recent
slops including cancellation o(
the Skvbolt air-to-ground missile
that diminish the importance of
manned bombers in relalinn In
ballistic missiles.
IeMay told the committee that
bombers will continue to represent
the bulk of l.S. strategic forces
through 17.
Ilay said that "ideally V S
military posture should be a col
lective strength of mixed forcei
manned and missile, with the
unique capability of being applied
individually or in concert."
Hike Planned
By Air Force
MT. HERO. Ore. a PI' - The
Air Force plans to gel into lh"
S0-mi!e hike act.
Capt. .lack Benie of the local
Air Force Station said a group of
oflicers and men plan a round
trip hike Friday on an old loccinp
trail to Willamina and hack
Purpose of the hike, besides
physical fitness, is to deliver a
Inter of acceptance In a Willam
ina group lor the Hcho airmen to
take pari in a donkey basketball
game at Willamina March 1.
( apt. Renzie said about 10 per
sons had signed up lor the hike
and would leave about 4am
"We hope to he bark by mid
nicht." he said.
The round trip distance is about
50 miles.
PL
SMO to $500, -2' remove federal
income taxes paid as a deduc
tion and 1 31 provide (or a mini
mum tax of at least M on all
returns filed.
H.B. 1014 changes the "bracket"
tax rates. The first Sl.oon of tax
able income is assessed at t.ie
rate of three per cent and in
creases to eight per cent in incre
ments of Sl.tioo. but subject to a
provision that the over-all tax rate
does not exceed six per cent of
total net income minimum lilinc
lee excepted.
The Musa proposal retains the
general theory ot our present in
come tax structure bv allowing
fur deductions and exemptions
'except lor eliminating the ted-
eral tax deduction'. These are ap
plied to gross income before ap
plying the lax percentage.
The state tax deparlment esti
mates that H.B. 1014 will increase
income lax revenue about $15,
IHO.OOO which is considerably short
of the amount needed to meet the
governor's proposed budget.
A third income tax bill is H.R.
I1F.8 introduced by Representative
.lohn Mosser of Washington Coun
ty. His measure calls for a flat
five per cent rale on all taxable
income after an allowance for per
sonal and dependency deductions
Itemized deductions for interest,
taxes, medical expenses, etc. are
still continued in Mosser's plan.
but only to the extent that thev
exceed 10 per cent of the adjusted
gross income.
H.B. 1188 like H.B. 1014 calls for
the elimination of the federal in-
ome tax deduction.
Mosser makes no claim that
his plan will broaden the base by
increasing the number of "low in
come" taxpayers. Rather he would
increase trie personal exemption
from $600 to $800 for an individual
and to $1,600 for a married cou
ple. L'nder his plan, the depend
ency credit remains at $1,600. H B
1188 would repeal the special
treatment for capital gains
leaving all income taxed at the
rale of five per cent.
The tax department has made
no estimate of the amount of tax
that Mosser's plan would bring in.
but the author contends that it
would bring in more than the
governor's $31,000,000 proposal
Mosser would use the extra reve
nue to increase basic school sup
port and according to him, "re
lieve property taxes."
Obviously, the taxation commit
tee has a wide choice of ideas
with more yet to come) on how-
to solve the revenue proDiem
