Jarvis blasts government waste
Staff Reporter
Bv DAN WINTER
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—A miss-proclaimed "rugged bastard," sometimes known as Mr. Proposition 13, spoke at a convention here yesterday about government waste, the need for patriotism in America and California's tax reform measure,
The speaker was crusty, 75-year-old Howard Jarvis.
The California delegates to the annual convention of the American Hotel and Motel will be joined by the faculty, the podium and Jarvis delivered a half-hour, fire-and-brimstone-style speech to the crowd.
He raised his fists and called for renewed patriotism among Americans by taking a watchdog role on the government and its overseeing.
JARVIS OUTLINED his three-point program of cuts in federal spending and personal income tax. His plan calls for decreasing federal spending by $100 billion over four years, increasing annual income by 20 percent yearly for four years and repealing the capital gains tax.
jarvis, a retired executive, is the coauthor of California's Jarvis-Gann amendment and passed by California votes in June, will shake that state's property taxes by an estimated $7 billion this year unless it is found unconstitutional by the California Court.
Jarvis said a tremendous attempt to redistribute wealth in this country was

"And now look what has happened. Proposition 13 brought 76 percent of the registered voters in the state to the polls. And then a 30 percent during the last election year."
Jarvis said his fight to get Proposition 13 on the California ballot started in 16 years ago.
HE SAID Proposition 13 showed the nation that the people could control government and have a strong say in the way things were run.
the promotion of tax reform, Jarvis said, is like selling a great problem in the field of ethics. It also reflects the idea of tax reform by and for the people took so long to catch on in the minds of
"The John Dees of this country have not looked out for themselves," he said. "We have always looked to Washington and the governments to save and maintain the government."
Jarvis said many state, local and national candidates rode to victory in the general election on endorsements by his organization, the American Tax Reduction
He said the endorsers helped elect 89 candidates to the 96th Congress. If his

Jarvis said Long told him that government was out of control and that the Congress did not know what it was doing. He said Long told him that unless someone got his hands on the government and stopped its overspending and the carelessness of federal agencies, America was going to experience a financial disaster.
Removal of sales tax on utilities sought
TOPEKA (AP)—Three Republican members of the Kansas Senate said yesterday that they were introducing legislation to remove the sales tax from utility bills, a proposal that was advanced earlier by Gov.-elect John Carlin,
Doyen said sales of coal and wood used for heating would also be exempt from the tax.
In a prepared statement, the three senators said they discussed the proposal with Republican Gov. Robert F. Bennett last year "when it became apparent the governor's recommendation on the governor's recommendation for reduced utility rates for the elderly."
Senate President Ross Doyen, Concordia, said he had been joined by Sen. Nell Arasmith, Phillipsburg, and John Crofoot, Cedar Point, in pre-filling a bill that would exempt sales of natural gas, electricity and water from the sales tax.
"THERE'S BEEN a lot of concern about removing the sales tax from food," Doyen said. "But I believe it is even more important to remove the tax on public utilities."
THEY PLANNED to introduce it then, the statement said, and the governor felt there were several other tax relief measures that should be given a chance.
He said a rich person might have a food bill several times that of a middle- or
Arasmith said in the statement that "we've been paying sales tax on our utility bills since 1857. We've got the power and now is the time to take this tax off."
