The budget study was tabled un til the next mooting Bill Asks California Tax Study SACRAMENTO UPI-An ad ministration bill calling for a "top-to-bottom" study of taxation in California was introduced in the legislature today. Its ultimate purpose is to bring the state's tax structure up to date. Gov. Edmund G. Brown, who called the bill one of his most important of the legislative ses sion, put the problem this way: "The California lax structure is so tangled among all levels of government that tax revision is like a game of jackstraws. You can't be sure that changing one tax program won't throw undue pressure on another." The governor used the property lax as an example of a levy that has carried "too much of the load for too long" and said he would like to relieve the burden but could not. The bill's author, Assemblyman Robert W. Crown, said the results of the study should provide the governor, the legislature, boards of supervisors, city councils and mayors with recommendations to solve fiscal problems. Crown outlined the problems as: What are the fiscal require ments of California governments? Which of them should be car ried by cities, countjes or the state? Who should collect needed tax revenues to finance these tasks? What is the impact of the tax burden on various segments of the state's economy and society? The bill, which appropriates $150,000, would authorize the De parmcnt of Finance, chief fiscal agency of the state, to study and analyze all phases of local and state taxation. It would allow the director of finance to employ technical and professional help for the study and require all governmental agencies to cooperate. In addition, the bill creates a 20-man tax advisory commission to serve as an advisory body on the study. The measure apparently was the administration's hope for re arranging taxes to avoid the pos sibility of new taxes during the next four years which Brown said yesterday may he possible ?

SALEM I UPI Teen-agers dis-l agreed over proposals to raise the minimum age for drivers licenses from 16 to 18 before the House Highways Committee Tuesday. Eugene junior Nancy Hinchsliff, 16, said youthful drivers "lack re sponsibility," and should not be given a license until they are 18. John Borachcr, 1!). Seaside, said he polled about 40 classmates and "half of them said the age should be increased, the other half dis agreed." Mike Sellard, 6, North Eugene, termed this a "mobile age." and added "driving teaches responsi bility."

The committee held a hearing on three proposals to restrict youthful drivers. Rep. Phil Lang, D-Portland, is author of a bill which would raise the age to 18, except' w here youths had completed a driver training Ways, Means Troubled Over Hospital Closure 'It could be the most terrifying motion picture l i law gvoi g made I" alfrco hitchcock fa , 7:00 and 9:29 ) Leaders Meet The regular roumltaWc meet ing of Cub and Scout leaders will be held tonight at the Scout Service Center stalling at 7 30. j All den mothers, scoutmasters and cubmasteis are urged to at tend. LAST TIME TODAY David h rv SALEM lUI'Ii - Ways and Means Committee members, try ing to shut down a hospital, found themselves Tuesday night at the heart of the "dollars versus hu manity" issue. The governor has proposed shut- ling down the 80 - bed Medical School tuberculosis hospital at Portland and moving its patients to the 179-bed state tuberculosis hospital at Salem. Neither is full. The university wants to keep its TB teaching beds. On the other hand, it also wants more teaching beds in other fields. Ways and Means would like to cut the cost of a "split operation." State Finance Director Freeman Holmer said consolidating TB cases at Salem and giving the university 4 more teaching beds in place of the TB beds at Port landwould still save $13,416. Witnesses and committee mem bers made these observations: Dr. Lawrence M. Lowell, chest surgeon and sxkesman for the Multnomah County Medical Soci ety: the most TB patients and the best treatment are in t h c Portland area. The university hos pital has had "a number of firsts." Rep. John Mosser, R-Beavertnn: We are not challenging better TB care, hut we are dealing in dol lars. The question is whether we can use dollars better for humani ty 'one way or another. Dr. Ambrose Churchill. TB con trol director, State Board of Health: Oregon has a chance to make real history if it pumps sav ings back into TB control. Uncer tainty is demoralizing the Salem hospital statf.

Thoy w ould be able to get a license at age 16, but would be under curfew not to drive after 11 p.m. on pre-school nights, and after 1 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Parking of cars near schools also would be prohibited. A bill by Rep. Ken Maher, R Portland, would have the 18 year limit except for a "provisional permit" that could be issued in some cases to those 16 and over. A bill by Rep. Winton Hunt, R-, Woodburn, would raise the age limit for instruction permits to 17, and for a drivers license to 18.
