Tomorrow,\nCalifornians will have a chance to vote themselves a tax cut.\n\"But they may not do so because they are being confused by the\nmassive, big lie technique of those opposing Proposition 1. The latest\npoll shows that two-thirds of the people who say they will vote against\nProposition 1 are doing so because they think it will raise their taxes.\n\"I want to assure every voter that Proposition 1 cannot and will not\nraise their taxes. Indeed, it prohibits their taxes from ever going up\nfaster than their income without their permission.\n\"It is a Taxpayer Bill of Rights.\n\"The biggest lie of all is the assertion that local taxes will\nincrease because of Proposition 1. That is false. The Proposition\nabsolutely prohibits local tax rates from increasing without the consent\nof the people.\n\"There is one thing certain: taxes will increase quickly and much\nmore rapidly even than they do now if Proposition 1 fails.\n\"Here is the clear proof of that assertion:\n\"Pending right now before the legislature are billions of dollars\nin spending bills just waiting for Proposition 1 to fail. A few of the\nopponents and their spending plans are:\nSenator Moscone: $1.631 billion in additional spending.\nAssemblyman Burton: $356 million;\nSpeaker Moretti: $300 million.\n\"Thus, if Proposition 1 fails, these and many other spending bills\nwill be passed in short order by politicians who feel that taxes aren't\nhigh enough. Without Proposition 1, it will be very difficult for me to\nmake my vetoes of these bills stick because the politicians will feel\nthey have a mandate for greater spending. Taxes will again skyrocket.\n\"There is only one way taxpayers can protect themselves from more\nexpenditures, bigger government, and much, much higher taxes. That is\nto vote 'YES' on Proposition 1 tomorrow.\"\n#####\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California 95814\nEd Gray, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n11-6-73\n#556\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today issued the following statement:\n\"Today I fulfilled my promise to give the people a chance to vote\nthemselves a tax cut, and a limit on the percentage of their earnings\nthe state could take from them.\n\"My fellow Californians have responded---some at the ballot box,\nsome by staying home.\n\"They have opposed the proposition.\n\"This does not change the fact that the present tax burden is too\nhigh and is increasing too rapidly, and that it should not continue to\nrise faster than the people's earnings. But those who were concerned\nenough to vote today evidently felt Proposition 1 was not the solution.\nPerhaps some felt that it should not be in the Constitution; or that\nlocal taxes might somehow be increased, and the burden shifted to local\ngovernment. This, of course, was untrue but those who led and financed\nthe campaign against Proposition 1 effectively exploited these concerns\nwithout ever having to admit or explain their basic purpose; which is to\nretain unlimited taxing authority while increasing public spending and\nthe size of government.\n\"One benefit at least has resulted from Proposition putting it\non the ballot forced the legislature to give $800 million surplus back\nto the taxpayers.\n\"Naturally I wish we could have won, but I do not regret the\nattempt we made.\n\"I look upon this campaign as a first step in alerting the people to\nthe incredible rate of government growth, and the speed with which the\ntax burden is increasing faster than the income of our citizens. The\neffort was timely and worthwhile. We can all take pride in what has been\naccomplished, and we must now direct our efforts at further progress\ntoward tax reduction.\n\"I am, of course, disappointed. I wish the basic philosophical\nissues could have been more clearly drawn without the distracting,\nirrelevant and confusing play on human fears and the basic emotions of\nthe people.\n\"But we will look ahead. There can be no recount, no reassessment,\nno unproductive exchange of recriminations.\n\"I shall continue to seize every opportunity to hold down spending,\n,\nthe size of government and the taxpayers' burden.\n\"We will just have to try harder.\"\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR K ALD REAGAN\nRELEAS.\nImmediate\nSacramento, California 95814\nEd Gray, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n11-7-73\n#557\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today offered a $10,000 reward for\ninformation leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or\npersons responsible for the murder of Oakland School Superintendent\nMarcus Foster\nFoster, a 50-year-old educator who came to Oakland in 1970, and his\ndeputy superintendent Robert Blackburn were gunned down in an Oakland\nparking lot Tuesday evening.
