I Our horse and buggy tax
structure won't meet the needs
of the 60's. That's obvious from
talking to the hundreds of people
coming to Olympia the days.
Those who want funds - those
who worry about the taxpayer -
they all say the same thing, "It
needs overhauling." And I agree
with them.
As considered by the House
of Pepresentatives this week, • the
ax package would put the ques-
tion of tax reform, on the ballot
next November for a vote of the
people. Here are the highlights
of the package. See how it affects
you :
1. Reduces the constitutional
property assessment require-
ment: from 50 per cent to 25 per
cent of true and fair value. This
is especially important for all
property owners now because a
recent: Supreme Court decision
makes the threat of raising tax-
es to the 50 per cent level a very
real one. You just received your
property tax statements. Double
lhe anmunt and you will see what
we are saving you from.
2. Reduces the sales tax to 3.5
par cent and eliminates the sales
tax on food and prescription
drugs. This is a tax reduction
for everyone, but it would parti-
