New Taxes Or Less Spending
Oregon’s legislators have had literally dozens of pro
posals for new tax sources as a whole or partial means
of solving the state's financial dilemma. Suggestions
range from ridiculous to partially feasible, but the gen
eral attitude seems to be that residents of Oregon want
to have their cake and eat it too.
According to reports from areas west of the Cascades,
the state faces the possibility of a $67 million deficit for
the ensuing biennium. Just why the news was announ
ced in a surprised tone immediately after a meeting of
the interim committee a few weeks ago is not known,
but reports are that requests for funds now total $225
million with only $156 million in revenue in sight, in
cluding an $8 million surplus
There are two favorites for new sources of revenue:
a 6-mill state advalorum tax and a 3 percent sales tax.
The former would raise only $20 million and the latter
would raise $60 million.
A sales tax would last about 10 days, or just long
tough to get a few thousand signatures on initiative
?titions as the voters of the state have done five times
the past. Petitions would be plentiful in Eastern Ore-
in and signers here would rally to the cause to help
ksure defeat of such a measure.’
lit seems that the idea never occurred to some of the
ute officials—and a large part of the general public—
it spending more than was taken in would leave a
ficit. Few if any of those attempting to solve the pro-
|m with proposals for new revenue have suggested
It Oregon might try to cut expenses instead of casting
)ut for new sources of revenue.
Recording to reports, there are many farmers and
111 business men who have experimented with such
Ian and found that it works. Individuals in both of
le groups have on numerous occasions found them-
?s*with more expenses than revenue and have solved
iroblem by cutting their overhead until new sources
kcome could be found.
ir instance, how many people know how much of
Hr tax money is going for public payrolls right here
A \ Malheur county? It might be considered that Malheur
county has about 1.5 percent of the entire state's popu
lation, so the statewide payroll would amount to a tre
mendous sum if the state’s ratio could be based on this
county.
Do the people of Oregon want this huge payroll, ex
pecting that the money will be returned bv virtue of
the fact that in theory it is spent locally? Do the people
want all the services they have voted for and have
asked their legislators to enact when they go to Salem 0
Do they want to have hundreds of fancy frills and ex
pensive brochures that state bureaus issue regularly to
glorify office holders, yet fail to issue a word of protest
until they have to pay the bill? Do they want more and
more state funds in the hope that they will “reduce"
local taxes?
If the people of Oregon want all these things and
many more they will have to pay for them.
Higher property taxes as proposed will not solve the
deficit problem and w ill add to the burden of the pro
perty tax payers. A sales tax, untruthfully ballyhooed
as a means to “hit everybody" is a drag on retail business
and would bring economic hardship for all business in
border counties like Malheur. Higher income taxes, an
other proposal, would hit the working man and business
man alike, for it means higher salaries to replace the
extra cost and in turn some cutbacks in the number of
employees.
Our proposals may go unheeded, but at least we beat
all the state officials in making such revolutionary sug
gestions.
