Voters to decide referenda across
U.S.
By The Associated -Press
Taxes, especially those levied
on property to support schools,
are under attack in various Nov.
7 ballot propositions across t h e
country.
Also facing voters are issues af-
fecting the environment, e q u a I
rights, criminal justice, the me-
chanics of government, mari-
juana laws and the 1976 Winter
Olympics as they decide on state
referenda, constitutional amend-
ment and the like.
California is asking voters if
they want to legalize the private
use, but not sale, of marijuana.
The measure is not expected to
receive many favorable votes.
Michigan, Oregon, Washington,
California and Colorado confront
the issue of property tax and
equal support of public schools.
Proposal C on the state baliot
would prohibit local property tax-
es for public schools and direct
the legislature to come up wi'h
new financing.
Proposal D would lift the con-
stitutional ban on a state-grad-
uated _income tax, which some
say might lead to an increase of
as much as 100 per cent in the
present 3.9 per cent levy.
While chances for passage ap-
pear good, the state AFL-CIO
opposes the °property tax ban for
fear it will lead to a sales ta:
The question on Colorado's bal-
lot is whether to shift the esti-
mated $350 million ca! lected Jia
property taxes for schools to
other revenue sources.
The measure has the backing
of labor and the citizens lobby,
Common Cause, in the hopes of
evening out wide disparities in
per-pupil expenditures.
Opponents, among them Gov.
John Love, fear state government
won't have enough money to oper-
ate if the other sources prove in-
adequate.
The property tax pays 80 per
cent of public education's way in
Oregon, and the State Farm Bur-
eau has succeeded in placing a
proposition on the ballot to pro-
hibit this means or rianc';ig
Arrayed against the proposi-
tion are virtually all other mna1-
or interests in the state, who fear
schools will close if the legisla-
ture can't agree on alternate ie-
venue sources..
The stakes aren't as great in
Washington, where voters a r e
being 'asked -to repeal a tws-
mill state property tax that sup-
plies $50 million annually for
public education.
In California, Proposition , 14
would cut property taxe i state-
wide by an estimated $3.2 bilion
a year and increase state sales
corporation, cigarette and liquor
taxes by an estimated $1.8 billion
annually. The legislatuu2 w o u 1 n
have to come up with the rest of
the funds needed to balaocc the
property tax cut.
The measure equalizes EchooT
support statewide, but foes say
that's done by cutting s c h a o 1
aid by $771 million a year state-
wide.
Proposal B in Michigan and a
similar proposal in North Dakota
would allow women less than 20
weeks pregnant to have an
abortion performed by a certified
doctor.
A unique Colorado ballot pro-
position could turn away t hi e
Winter Olympics scheduled there
in 1976.
The state has spent some $1.9
million in planning for the games,
but growing opposition and un-
certainty over the full cost in-
volved prompted the ballot-box
answer on whether to cut off fur-
ther funds.
A negative answer would send
the Olympic Committee looking
elsewhere since federal support
is contingent on local support
and without either, the games
could not be held.
The environment occupies a
large space on New York's bal-
lot with the question of whethe'r
to approve a $1.15 -billion bond
issue. It would devote $650 mnil-
lion to water quality projects,
$15 million for cleaner air and
$350 million for land.
Two referenda in Florida would
together provide $240 million for
state purchase of environmentally
endangered lands, and parks and
recreation sites.
Four states are taking a look
at some aspect of the crimin-i
justice system. New Mexico and
Connecticut are asking for ap-
proval of six-member juries fol-
lowing U.S. Supreme Court sanc-
tion of juries with fewer than 12.
Rhode Island's proposed con-
stitutional amendment would re-
store voting ,rights to prisoners,
and a proposition in California
would restore the death penalty,
which was knocked down by the
state supreme court.
Five states. Hawaii, Texas,
New Mexico, Washington, a ni d
Colorado, have their own version
of an equal rights amendment
for women on the ballot.
