In 1971, $18.5 billion of property was exempt while $20.3 billion of property was subject to tax. Of the exempt property almost half was owned by federal, state and local go vernments When we turn to privately-owned property, the legislature should take a long, hard look at the big four that could meaningfully b<- taxed on the same basis as other pro perty. They are automobiles, literary and religious organi zations, farm lands upon which taxes are deferred and repro duction ( small) timber. When Oregonians pay only $10 annual license fee for an automobile there is an under valuation of $1.5 billion a vear. in neighboring states automo biles are taxed approximately in accordance with their actual value. Of course, it would take a constitutional amendment in Oregon to use the automobile license fee for general pur poses or to relieve property taxes. Literary and religious or ganizations do not pay $537. million a year in taxes. Even if taxation of some of them such as churches was limited to the payment for the services that they receive froni government this could still bring in a tre mendous amount of money. $580. million a year is lost from farm lands being taxed for farm use rattier than tin- way other property is assessed, though a portion of this money comes back if the farm land under the deferral tax program is sold. Reproduction timber in wes tern Oregon, that is timber which is under 12 inches in diameter breast high, is com pletely exempt from annual taxation and this costs $106. million a year of taxes. There are a mighty host of other exemptions for property taxes. A successful argument was made for each exemption when it was first put on the statute books, but often tiie of one of the world's most quoted newspapers Rep.

At the national level Con gressman Ullman recommends that every exemption from the federal income tax be reviewed over the next four years to see if they are still valid. 1 urge the Oregon legislature over the next four years to re view each and every one of the $10 billion a year of exemp tions from property taxation so that it stands on its own merits under today's condi tions. The legislature should make a specific finding of the importance and necessity of any tax exemptions ttiat it votes to continue. If only a few bil lion dollars a year were add' d to the property tax rolls, the rest of us who are now paying property taxes would pay far less.
