Oregon Wednesday, September 11, H6J State Tax Revolt Brings Sudden Economy Moves SALEM (UPD - Legislators and state agencies are so fearful of defeat of the $60 million tax ' increase bill at the Oct. 15 elec ' tion they are unintentionally con ' tributing to Its defeat. They seem to be over-reacting to public pressure for economy. An example Is the Sept. 6 meet .''..tag of the State Emergency Board. This Is a group made up of leg islators. They serve as fiscal .. watchdogs when the legislature Is not in session. , - When state agencies need more money because of emergencies or ' because the legislature forgot to ' appropriate funds for certain jobs, ' they take their case to the Emer ' gency Board. At the Sept. meeting the Emergency Board refused to grant appropriations asked by the: Justice Department and the State Tax Commission to Implement new laws. Told to Juggle Resources Both agencies were told to jug gle the money and people they al ' ready had, and to get the job ; done without any more money. ;;' Emergency Board members told ' the agencies a "tax revolt" was v underway, and that they had to economize. 'J, The reaction of the man on the street is that the only reason economy Is being stressed is be cause the tax Increase measure J has been referred. He wonders If : the legislators would have been ; as economy-minded if a referen '. dum were not pending. The legislature set aside $300, 000 to finance the Oct. 15 special election. The Emergency Board cut this to $275,000. This was pure window dressing, because the law sets aside the full $300,000, and the full amount will have to be spent If. it Is needed. If that amount isn't needed, it won't be spent, regardless of the Emergency Board's action. But the man in the street thinks it is an economy move. Salary Cut Eyed At the previous Emergency Board meeting salary increases for state workers were approved only through the end of this year. The idea was if the tax measure is defeated, the salary increases would be withdrawn. But it may not work this way. The state can't play ping-pong with an employe's paycheck. If the tax bill is defeated some; workers may be fired, or all may be forced to take days off with out pay. But the basic salary rates will stay up unless the Civil Service Commission adopts a lower salary schedule. Emergency Board members are worried. They're afraid of What can happen to the state's govern' ment if the tax bill is defeated. They're sincerely concerned about the state's education pro gram, which will be the hardest hit.
