A fter sailing through an easy period m arked by little
tax consciousness, residents of M alheur county, as well
as other parts of the state, are faced with a conglom
eration of taxes that they do not like nor understand.
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.
