late Proposition 6, dealing with the in- surance companies' gross premium tax, is a constitutional amendment put on the ballot by two-thlfds votes in both houses of the Legislature. This measure would pennit the Legis- lature to exempt from tax the premiums paid by nonprofit schools and colleges to in ·µranee companies for retirement ben- efits for therr faculty members. The proposition was made necessary by a December 1967 decision of the Cali- f ?rnia Supreme Court subjecting the re- tirement programs of independent col- leges and universities in California to the gross premium tax. rhe public institutions of higher educa- tion, such as the University of California ·ill not be affected, since their retire'. ment programs are already tax-exempt. The measure would put the programs of private institutions such as Stanford Uni- versity and the University of Southern California on the same tax-exempt basis as the public institutions. At stake is an estimated $300,000 to $400,000 annual revenue loss to the state.

Supporters say this amount is minus- cule when compared to the total state budget hut a major factor in the cost of retirement programs for private colleges and universities. They say the private in- stitutions save the state $150 million a year by educating 25 per cent of a 1 1 col- lege students at no cost to the taxpayers. Opponents argue that this would be "class" legislation favoring a special group at a time when a broader tax base is needed. Supporting this measure are the State Chamber of Commerce, San Diego Chamber or Comml!rce, California Tax- payers Association, Los Angeles Cham- ber of Commerce, California Teamsters Legislative Council, and the California Real Estate Association. Opposing are the California Federation of Labor, the California Farm Bureau Federation, and the Commonwealth Club 1 of California. RECOMMENDATION-The Evening Tribune recommends a YES vote on

Berkeley Irrelevant To Proposition 6 Editor, The Union: Proposi- tion 6 would allow a constitu- tional amendment to pennit the premiums for retirement benefits f o r private college faculty and staff to remain untaxed, as at present. Unfortunately, the argument against the proposition comes from those who oppose activ- ities on the Berkeley campus. While they have a right to their opinion the question of Berkeley i completely un- related to the proposition, as Berkeley is a public-supported University. The pension funds of faculty and staff at public colleges are unaffected by the proposition. So the argument regarding Berkeley against the proposition is completely irrelevant. Proposition 6 needs a •'yes" vote if private colleges are not to be singled out for a com- pletely unwarranted and dis• criminatory tax imposition. JACK R.
