NO TAX RELIEF A great many people are expecting the Oregon Legislature to do something substantial to provide property tax relief, while at the same time, they are providing very substantial increases in salaries for teachers and other public officials, new building programs and expanded public services generally. It is an impossible order. Many people think that this relief can be provided through the passage of a sales tax, but there are also many people who are convinced that a sales tax might get on the books with some promises of relief in property taxes, but that in- creased budgets would soon eat t up the additional revenue and the people would then be permanently saddled with a sales tax while their property taxes rose back to the old level and went beyond. This is a very real possibility, and, in fact, a very likely prospect. Statistics compiled by the Oregon State Tax Commission show that the estimated annual cost to a family of four under the proposed three percent sales tax would be as follows: personal income $6,000 to $6,999 - $110; $7,000 to $7,999 income - $119; $8,000 to $8,999 - $128; $9,OOJ to $9,999 - $140. As against this sales tax all the property owner would save, according to ~ Tax Commission figures, would be the following: $108 on a $20,000 home; and $62 on a $30,000 assessed valuation. A taxpayer might Ret some relief on his property taxes, but he might be paying this much or more in a sales tax. The latter might be less painful, but the net result wouldn’t help him very much. The plain, bald truth of the matter is that there can be very little tax relief except through the federal government, axd there will be no tax relief through the federal govern ment as long as we are spending $80 billions annually on war. This country simply cannot provide the facilities and the services which the people want and need here at home while carrying on a full-scale war in Vietnam, It is that simple. The war is wrecking us. (Wallowa Enterprise) OWYHEE COMMUNITY CHURCH Rodney Frost was guest speaker during the May 18 morning worship service at Owyhee community church.
