Ballot Measure 9 would strip Oregon
public schools of 70% of their operating
funds by eliminating the property tax.
No alternate tource of revenue it
provided.
No one likes property taxes. And we all agree
that some form of tax relief for home owners
is imperative. But right now, property taxes
are the mainstay of Oregon s grade schools,
high schools and community colleges.
Who pays property taxes?
This year, it required $367 million in
property taxes to operate the schools. Of
that $367 million, homeowners paid less
than half—38.5%. The remainder, over 60%,
came from business and income property.
What other revenue sources are there?
The $367 million from property taxes is
almost equal to all the taxes collected for
the State General Fund—from income and
corporate taxes liquor and cigarette taxes,
corporate excise taxes etc. That's why it
would be extremely difficult to find another
source of revenue that could completely
replace the property tax. Economists
estimate that it would require a 9% sales
tax or a 130% increase in income taxes to
replace the revenue from property taxes
Here are some other possible sources of
revenue, totaling under $41 million—far
fhort ot the $367 million which schools
would lose if Measure 9 passes.
Possible alternate revenues:

Is there any tax relief in sight?
Right now, the Governor, the Interim
Legislative Tax Committee, labor and
business groups and school organizations
are working on a new approach to school
funding that will substantially reduce the tax
load now carried by property owners.
The new tax package will be presented to
the Legislature early in 1973.
Who opposes Measure 9?
Some of the individuals and groups opposed
to Measure 9 are:
GovernorTom McCall
Ed Whelan,
AFL-CIO
Carl Halvorson,
Portland Chamber of Commerce
Dale Parnell,
Oregon Superintendent of Public Instruction
Honorable Edith Green,
U. S. House of Hepresentatives
Farmer. Sublimity
The Oregon Grange
Farmers Union
AFL-CIO
League of Women Voters
Associated Oregon Industries
Oregon Congress of Parents and Teachers
Oregon Education Association
Oregon Women's Political Caucus
Oregon School Boards Association
Portland City Club
Oregon Council of Churches
Who supports Measure 9?
The Oregon Farm Bureau, who sponsored
the measure is the only major organization
to support it. They feel that the property
tax places an undue financial burden on
farmers. However, both the Oregon State
Grange and the Farmers Union oppose
Measure 9.
Will schools close if Measure 9 passes?
No one knows A new source of revenue
would have to be found to replace the $367
million in property taxes. Next, a new school
funding program would have to be prepared
and passed by the State Legislature, then
voted on by the people in a special election.
If voters turned down the new tax package,
school operating funds would be cut by
70% on June 30, 1973.
