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.
