Approval of this proposed amendment also puts into effect four legislative acts, each a part of the entire proposal. Constitu­ tional law cannot be changed without a vote of the people. Legislative acts may be changed by the legislature without a vote of the people. The para­ graphs below are keyed to the ballot title of the measure. Enacts three percent sales tax exempting food and prescription medicine. Prohibits increase without people's vote. The rate of the state sales and use tax, three percent, would be part of the Constitution and could not be increased by the legislature. All other features ·Of the sales tax are legislative acts, subject to change by any legislature. Major exemptions from sales tax include food for home consumption, feed, seed and fertilizer, services and prescription medi­ cines. The tax would be effective July 1, 1969 and includes taxing hotel­ motel accommodations. Constitutionally dedicates proceeds to reducing property taxes. Equivalent proceeds of the sales and use tax, less administrative costs and approximately $1,300,000 which must go to the Highway Fund, are constitutionally dedicated exclusively for property tax reduction by off­ sets against property taxes. Changes constitutional school property tax limitations; establishes new property tax bases which school districts cannot exceed without people's vote. Elementary and secondary school districts would receive a new tax base in 1970-71 substantially equal to the money available for their operation in 1969-70. The annual tax base increase would be 5% instead of the present 6%. Increases larger than 5% would require a vote of the people. Restricts number of school tax elections, provides uniform dates. Elementary and secondary school districts would be limited to two elec­ tions per year to cover additional operating expenses. The election dates in March and May would be uniform statewide. Increases corporate income taxes. Taxes on corporations will be increased from 6% to 7%, and on financial institutions from 8% to 9%. Resulting revenue is not part of the funds constitutionally dedicated t<> property tax relief. There is no increase in personal income tax rates. Rebates some taxes to low income families. When family income is $3,500 or less a refund of from 10% to 75% of the property taxes paid, not to exceed $300, will be made. The percent­ age of refund increases as the income decreases. Renters are assumed to have paid 25% of their rent, not to exceed $300, as property taxes. This is financed by the state general fund. Prohibits increased property taxes on homesteads of $20,000 or less after owner's age 65. Senior citizens, whose homes are valued at $20,000 or less may have their real property taxes frozen at the age of 65 so the tax will not increase. None of the above proposals will go into effect unless the constitutional amendment passes. DAVID G. FROST, Hillsboro ROBERT E. NEWBERRY, Beaverton KEITH D. SKELTON, Portland Official Voters' Pamphlet Measure No. 1 Property Tax Relief and Sales Tax Argument in Favor Submitted by Legislative Committee provided by Subsection (3) of ORS 255.421 WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT Oregon's tax structure was adequate in the past, but it is now out of balance and unable to meet the problems of the present and future. Oregon has two tax systems, (1) a local tax system which is dependent upon the local property tax, and (2) the state tax system which relies primarily on personal and cor­ porate state income taxes. The property tax and income tax are already unduly burdensome and oppressive. Oregon needs a tax structure that will work for years to come. THE PROPERTY TAX PROBLEM The problem is two fold. First, property taxes are too high NOW. Second, they continue to spiral as school, city and county budgets go UP. Fact: Since 1957, total property taxes in Oregon have increased approxi­ mately 120%; actually, every major index or standard of measurement applied to Oregon's property tax indicates that our dependence on this form of taxation is increasing each year. For example, in 1950-51, the per capita property tax in Oregon was $62.40; in 1968-69, it is $189.21. Can we keep going this way? Fact: Comparisons between our neighboring states show that Oregon's aver­ age property tax is higher than California and substantially higher than Wash­ ington. Both have a sales tax. Keep in mind that any real solution to Oregon's property tax problem has to, (1) lower the high property taxes NOW, and (2) keep a lid on them in the FUTURE. AN UNACCEPTABLE ALTERNATIVE Some say that we should resolve our high property tax problems by increasing Oregon's personal income tax. To raise enough money to give 25% relief requires a 65% increase in our state income tax. Oregon's personal income tax is now the fourth highest in the nation. Such a proposal would make Oregon's income tax far and away the highest in the nation. Such a plan would produce a completely unacceptable over-dependence on the income tax. Moreover, the voters have twice rejected income tax increases by huge majorities within the last nine years. A RESPONSIBLE ALTERNATIVE A YES VOTE on the property tax relief package, Ballot Measure No. 1, is a responsible alternative to our property tax dilemma.

    BILLS ENACTING EASURES CITAT O R E G O N L E G I S L A T I V E A S S E M B L Y AMENDForm and ORDER Style Manual for Legislative REPEALMeasures EXPEN PROVISIONS RE 2019-2020 Edition REFERENDUM J MEMORIALS RE PREFACE The Oregon Legislative Assembly follows a uniform system of form and style for legislative measures. This system is not set forth in full in the rules of either chamber; rather, it is set forth in this Form and Style Manual for Legislative Measures, which has been adopted by reference in the rules of both chambers. Because this manual is incorporated into the chamber rules, it is sometimes subject to rule interpretation by the chamber parliamentarians.* The Oregon Rules of Civil Procedure, as promulgated by the Council on Court Procedures, and adopted by the Legislative Assembly in 1979 and 1981 and subsequently amended, do not conform to this uniform system of form and style. This Form and Style Manual for Legislative Measures obviously cannot cover every situation. For form and style questions not covered by this manual, contact the Office of the Legislative Counsel at (503) 986-1243. *SENATE RULE 13.01. (3) Immediately after presentation to the Secretary of the Senate, the measure shall be sent to Legislative Counsel for examination and compliance with the “Form and Style Manual for Legislative Measures” and preparation of a copy for the State Printer. No corrections that might affect the substance of the measure shall be made without the consent of the sponsor of the measure.
