Cutter HOUSE TAXATION GROUP STUDIES TWO MAIN PLANS Some wags here suggest that the reason recordings are made of committee meetings is so that each successive legislature can haul out the tapes and not have to discuss the same old is sues. But while problems often tend to be the same and proposed answers may sound familiar, the legislative process is far from instant replay. One big difference this year is that Oregonians almost certainly can expect to vote on that foremost issue of legislative and public concern: tax reform. Four main ideas have been put before the House Committee on Taxation according to its chairman, Rep. Floyd H. (Hank) Hart, R-Medford. Only two, however, have been presented in bill form, and they are getting most consideration now. The two packages have been introduced in the House, where revenue measures originate, one at the request of Gov. Tom McCall and the other by Rep. Joe Rogers, R-lndependence. Both have that ring of fam iliarity. The governor’s plan is Gov. McCall’s plan would very similar to the property tax raise such an amount through a relief bill which was defeated by 3 per cent retail sales tax and one Senate vote in 1967. Rep. 16 2/3 per cent increase in Rogers’ is virtually the same as corporate taxes. Rep. Rogers’ legislation he introduced in the package would give the people regular session two years ago. a choice between a 3 per cent Both plans would limit local sales tax or increased income property tax growth. Then they tax--an increase which would propose to reduce property tax amount to about 60 per cent. es by about 25 to 30 per cent ‘Our job in committee is to through raising state aid to local come up with what we think is school districts to 50 per cent of best and most equitable for their operation costs.

APPLE VALLEY - Duane Wilson of Portland was a Jan. 31 guest in the Helen Wilson home. He and Marvin Jackson arrived home recently from a trip to British Honduras, Cen tral America where they visited Mr. and Mrs. Gary Morgan. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Pitman announce the marriage of their grandson, Kirby Pitman Jr., of Dallas, Texas to Ann Gowan tax forces now being mustered around the state by Sen. Vern Cook, D-Gresham, andformer Leader Jason Boe, D-Reeds- Rep. Hart says to look at the record: ‘I think it’s interesting to note that Sen. Cook, one of the most vocal proponents of increases in welfare and other social ser vices, thinks there is enough fat in the state budget to raise basic school support to 50 per cent? The two other main property tax relief plans heard by the House Taxation Committee— but not yet in bill form--were presented by House Minority Leader Jason Boe, D-Reeds- port, and by John Mosser, State Sanitary Authority c hair man and former representative with impressive taxation knowledge. Rep. Boe’s plan would raise limited revenue to afford tax relief only for residentail and farm property. Mr. Mosser proposes to raise the $200 mil lion annually through a combin ation of a 2 per cent net re ceipts tax and 2 per cent pay roll tax. A net receipts tax basically is a gross income tax, taking its bite from the first dollar earned; the other would be a dollar-matching levy on employers, similar to social security withholdings. ‘The Mosser plan raises valid points and certainly is worth consideration,’ says Rep. Hart. ‘As a program it may be too late, though. It represents a major shift in Oregon’s tax structure, and we may have gone too far? Whatever may come out of the committee, Rep. Hart is con fident its members will devise the best all-around plan for the people to make the ultimate He is a serious decision, young man with an exceptional sense of responsibility, but he laughs easily: ‘I can assure you we are not listening to tape recordings of sessions past,’ he says. ‘What we are doing is giving old prob lems a fresh look, and with the concrete, positive solutions we have before us, we are not going to let Oregon citizens down? ^cm NEWS Nyssan Observas SUNSET VALLEY ACTIVITIES Protest Rally According to a report re- ------BY MARTHA LORENSEN - PHONE 372 - 2186 from Scotland.
