People who do not understand the taxing system cannot possibly vote intelligently on tax m atters. Most officials charged with assessing and collecting taxes have a good knowledge of the tax situation, hut m any w riters who have been writing about taxes for m any years have lots to learn about them and the average laym an knows practically nothing about them However, hi* has to form a decision for his voting that is often based on faulty reasoning caused by lack of knowledge. Responsibility for the tax troubles existing in cities, counties and school districts in Oregon can be charged alm ost entirely to the general increase in living costs caused by the w ar and the six per cent lim itation. From 1942 to 1950 no business could survive if the owners were restricted to increasing their expense budgets only six per cent each year over the year before, because costs have doubled and in some cases tripled during th e eight-year period. Yet, officials are called upon to do th at very thing, unless the six per cent lim itation is exceeded through a vote of the taxpayers. The tax situation could have been relieved in Oregon by the legislature through establishm ent of a new tax base. This new base could have raised the level of ta x ation through budgets and at the same tim e preserve the six per cent limitation each year to restrain spend th rifts sitting on taxing boards. The confused situation is causing confused th in k ing among those discussing the proposed special levies in the county and school district. For instance, some think th at placing more property on the tax rolls would reduce the necessity of exceeding the six per cent lim i tation. This, of course, is not true, because a change in the assessed valuation would m erely raise or lower the milluge or more equally distribute the tax burden. Assessed valuation and millage have nothing to do with the six per cent limitation. The budget sets forth the am ount of money that is to be raised by taxation and the assessed valuation and the millage determ ine how the tax burden as authorized by the budget is to be distributed. Some other tax problem s are ju st as hard to understand. Perhaps, the confusing tax situation would be less confusing, if this confusing editorial w ere abruptly concluded.
