The tax reform measure, Prop. 1, was
troduced to the state legislature last
jrch by Governor Ronald Reagan. When
e legislature refused to place the mea-
re on the November ballot, the gover-
r led an Initiative campaign to gather
i' necessary 920,000 signatures to set
narrow's special election.
• blowing are some Important argu-
rnta on the effects that Prop. 1 could
ve on the future of state spending.
MIAT EFFECT WILL PROP. 1 HAVE
ON THE TRADITIONAL STRUCTURE
OF STATE TAXING?
Prop. 1 proposes a constltutlonally-
M limitation on the amount of taxes the
ite could collect. Reagan has said of
a plan, "It would amend the state con-
mnlon to reduce by nearly 20 per cent
rer a 15-year period and permanently
mil the share of personal Income state
ivernment could spend.
the initiative would also permanently
and create other new «peclal levies.
' The 7.S per cent tax credit contained
in the Initiative will mean an annual state
lnvome tax savings of about $10 for toe'
typical California family, while the very
untypical $100,000 family will realise a
$5G0 savings."

the tax reform would cripple legislative
ability to control the state budget, allow-
ing for the veto power of the governor
State Assembly Speaker Bob Morettl said,
"the proposition places a steadily decreasing celling on what state government
can spend. Two-thirds of that budget goes
for local assistance. As state subventions
(subsidies) are reduced, the pressure will
be on local governments to Increase the
sales and property taxes, Initiate a local
income tax, raise business license fees.
Reagan cays the immediate effect will
be an overall reduction In taxes. Within
the first year after Prop. 1 becomes
effective, the 7.S per cent figure would
represent a tax cut, with the provision
that families-with animal Incomes of
$8,000 or less would not be taxed, nor
would Individuals with Incomes less than
$4,000 be taxed.   '
Nlles Miliar, executive secretary of.
the Fresno County Taxpayer!' Association, which is endorsing the measure,
said the state legislature will no longer
be able to mandate programs to local
government level* without also sending
necessary funds to cover all costs.
AGAINST
Principle opponents of the measure
claim that the tax celling will force program funding down to county and local
government levels.
Many democratic legislators claim that
passage of Prop. 1 would mean massive

Equal rights for women - this
time allowing equal athletic opportunities - has once again
been challenged and discarded
In the California State Legisla-
Thls month Governor Ronald
Reagan vetoed SB 1227, Introduced by State Senator Mervyn
Dymally (D-Los Angeles) to provide equal opportunities in athletics for male and female student participants.
The bill was going lo provide
equal opportunity-for equal athletic participation and facilities.
Specifically It was designed to
prohibit the use of public funds,
for state universities and college athletic programs conducted

Dr. PatThomson, CSUF physical education Instructor and
