Sales Tax Seen Top Issue For 1965
SALEM (UPD-Sales tax advo

getting their program to the peo-

While it appears unlikely it will
happen now, indications are the
sales tax issue could dominate
the 1963 session.

anti-sales tax lawmakers feel the
voters should be given a chance
to make the decision. It's been!
almost a decade since there has
been a statewide vote on a sales
lax.
At present, the House is strong
ly anti-sales tax, and the Senate
is pro-sales tax.
In both 1959 and IBM the Senate
substituted a sales tax or House
approved tax measures. The
House was able to vote down the
maneuver on both occasions.
Nationally, 37 states now impose
sales taxes.
Oregon's neighbors to the north
and south, Washington and Cali
fornia, levy sales taxes.
Proponents argue it is a "pain
less'' lax, and in most cases pro
duces more revenue than antici
pated.
Opponents charge a sales tax is
unfair to low-incomt families.
Indiana was the latest state to
impose a sales tax. Four other
states have boosted existing rates
this year to meet the need for
more revenue.
Several other states are consid
ering rate boosts. Others have
closed "loopholes" and tightened
up collection procedures. (
Pennsylvania is considering a .i
per cent hike which would take
its sales tax to 4 5 per cent, high
est in the nation.
The states that do not now levy
a sales tax, in addition to Oregon,
are Alaska, Delaware, Idaho,
Massachusetts. Minnesota, Mon
tana, Nebraska, New Hampshire.
New Jersey, New York. Vermont
and Virginia.
Last year the sales tax states
collected more than $5 billion.
While a sales tax may be "pain
less." it is not without its head
aches. V
Some states ease the problem
by collecting the tax on every
thing. But when there are exception,
there are headaches. If you ex
empt food, do you also exempt
restaurant meals? If drugs are
exempted, are such items a?
aspirin and band-aids considered
drugs?
The sales tax plan that was
killed in the House this session
exempted food and farm supplies.
A businessman w ho has to pay
a sales tax when he buys a de
livery truck won't agree that a
farmer should be exempt from
the tax when he buys a tractor.
There are collection problems.
