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.
