To escape com m ent or criticism , do nothing, be nothing, say nothing. Tax Confusion Is S p read in g Confusion of Oregon residents over taxation has spread into our neighboring state on the east. State officials, The Oregon Journal, The Idaho Statesman and most taxpayers seem to share in the general state of uncertainty about alleged surpluses, who is to blame, higher taxes and whether or not there w ill be tax relief —and when. Last Friday Gov. Robert D. Holmes called a special session of the legislature to convene Oct. 28 "to provide $17 million of property tax and income tax relief during 1957 and 1958, and $22 million per biennium of tax re lief thereafter.” So stated the official release from the governor’s office. The Portland newspaper’s glaring headlines announc ed, "Holmes Calls Session To Cut Taxes.” Text of the story contained this comment: “He (the governor) clari fied this statement (in the press release) by saying in come taxes will not be reduced to provide any relief for taxes paid this year but will be applied to incomes earned this year and on which the tax is due next year.” It was also pointed out that additional basic school money will be used to offset real property taxes IF dis tricts themselves hold their costs at the present level. The Boise newspaper editorialized, “Oregon’s gov ernor shows the high test of executive responsibility when he orders the Legislature to return to Salem and readjust its income tax levies back in step with the state’s financial needs.” Special session costs have been estimated at no less than $100,000 and it must be remembered that both houses are made up of the same individuals who could not agree on much of anything, regardless of party af filiations, at the record-long regular session last winter. They did provide more state funds that reduced Nyssa school taxes far le .-> than the increases imposed by the new state income tax schedules. Could it he that double-talk originating in Salem and Portland means a state sales tax is in the offing. Pres sure is growing stronger for a sales tax in most sectors other than Malheur county and the “but on the other hand” comments and political hay-makers are more prevalent each week. All w e’re sare of is that w e can depend on Rep. Emil Stunz of Nyssa and Sen. Anthony Yturri of Ontario to continue fulfilling .heir pledges of opposition to a sales tax. and the same unyielding opposition to extreme pressure groups in Western Oregon.
