The Reagan plan would have raised the state sales tax by a penny on the dollar to six cents and boosted various other levies to pay for a variety of property tax cuts.

The sales would have raised about half of the $1 billion and about that much would have gone to homeowners in property tax cuts. It also would have imposed payroll withholding of the state income tax which now is paid by most Californians in one lump sum on April 15. Reagan said he would make it the prime goal of his second term starting in January if he is re-elected over Democrat Jess Unruh Nov. 3 And he promised to campaign against the 13 senators including Republican Clark Bradley of San Jose whenever he is in their districts while on the campaign trail.

Sen. Lewis F. Sherman, R-Berkeley, who sponsored the amendmentonthe floor, countered by saying "the question here is not whether 18-year-olds are mature enough to vote. The question is whether all voters of California are mature enough to vote on this issue."

The 22-13 defeat marked the second time this month that the Senate rejected a proposed constitutional amendment to lower the voting age.

Congress has approved legislation granting 18-year-olds the vote but this is now being tested in the courts and Gov. Reagan has announced that California does not consider the congressional action constitutional. The proposed amendment by Assemblyman John Briggs, R-Fullerton, would also have given 18-year-olds all the legal privileges and responsibilities of being adults except the right to drink. Sen. Clark Bradley, R-San Jose, principal spokesman against the measure, said he did not believe 18-year-olds could vote intelligently.
