The 1971 Legislature, which
will adjourn before the end of
the month, has faced-up to the
monumental task of meeting
the legitimate needs of govern­
ment without resorting to a
large tax increase.
When the lawmakers con­
vened in January, everyone re­
cognized that Oregon was in
the midst of a grave fiscal
crisis.
One veteran legislative cor-
respondent correctly assessed
the situation in December, when
he wrote that solons would be
facing “the worst money pro­
blem in years, and perhaps
in history.”
Taxpayers held their breath
as spending requests for state
agencies and departments were
nearly double the amount of
revenues available.
Pressures mounted on all
sides for a massive tax in­
crease.
Educators asked for
large infusions of new taxes,
County governments asked for
more taxes. City governments
asked for more taxes.

Last winter got mighty cold,
says Mr. Broner. “We would never have
made it if we hadn’t changed to electric

can’t think of anything you can do to
an older home that adds as much com­

electric heat.”
