I. L. Patterson, for many years
one of the most prominent figures
in Oregon politics, today an
nounced himself aa a candidate
for the nomination for Governor
on the Republican ticket at the
forthcoming primary election. Mr.
Patterson baa been quite active In
the state'a political affairs 'or a
numlier of years. He has served
as state senator from Polk coun
ty and has bad other legislative
positions which give him out
atanding. qualifications for the
office which he is seeking. Mr.
Patterson in announcing his can
didacy makes the following open
statement to the voters of the
state:
In announcing my candidacy for
the nomination for Governor on
the Republican ticket at the pri
mary election in May 1926, I de
sire to call attention to my busi
ness experience. Including my ac
tivity as a practical farmer for
many years.
In early life, I was engaged in
mercantile business, but am now,
and for many years have been,
conducting one of the most di
versified farms In the Willamette
, Valley. I understand and appre
ciate the maay farm problems
confronting the farmera of this
state.
I have had legislative experi
ence as a member of the State
Senate through four regular and,
two special sessions of the legis
lature, and believe I have a
knowledge, and grasp of State
affairs that would enable me to
be of service to the people of
Oregon.
I am going to make a vigorous,
clean and constructive campaign
for the Republican nomination on
issues, saying nothing and doing
nothing against any other candi
date that could be used against
him in event of his nomination;
a campaign that will tend, as far
ns possible, to unite the Repub
lican party, ao that the nominee
niay have the entire party sup
port, thus insuring his election.
Tax Reduction.
If elected to the office of Gov
ernor. It Is my intention to bring
about a reduction In taxes.
I desire that this statement be
understood to mean precisely
what it says. I make no gesture
to give it enlarged or ancertaln
Influence. I do not refer to one
kind of taxes to the exclusion of
other kinds of taxes. I shall
never point to mere redistribution
of the present tax burdens as ful
fillment of this pledge, althoush
I believe that the tax burden
should he readjusted, nor shall I
ever offer as the fulfillment an
expensive temporary expedient,
such as postponement of Imme
diate obligations or creation of. a
deficit to make superficial show
of tax reduction.
By reduction of taxes, I mean

that the session started late, Mr.

NEW PROPOSAL
FOR TAX SLASH
Intended as Alternative
of First Plan, With No
Recommendation.
SOLONS OWN JUDGE
Latest Schedule Presented
Suggests Reduction in
' Taxation Rate for .
$4,000 Income.
(AanrUUd Pna Ussnl Win.)
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22. A new
achedule of normal Income rates
was presented to the house ways
and means committee today by Se
cretary Mellon,
The proposal suggested a rate of
one per cent on the first 13,000 of
taxable Income, two per cent on
the next 11,000, three per cent on
the next S4.000, and five per cent
thereafter.
This arrangement, the secretary
said In a letter to Chairman Green,
probably would be "more satisfac
tory" than the recently submitted
treasury schedule suggesting one
per cent on the first $3,000 of tax-
npvt 14 000 mnA K w Lnl th.M.
after.
Present normal rates are two
per cent on the first $4,000 of In
come, four per cent on the next
$4,000 and six per cent on the re
mainder. Mr. Mellon submitted the new
figures not as a "definite" pro
posal, but as an alternative plan to
that laid before the committee In
writing Monday. It really la the
third .tentative outline of ratea the
treasury has submitted. Mr. Mellon
I having suggested orally when he
appeared berore the committee
Monday that tbe rate might be
made one and one-half per cent on
tbe first $4,000: three per cent be
tween $4,000 and $8,000. and five
per cent for all over $8,000.
25 Per Cent Maximum Enough.
Mr. Mellon's letter reached the
committee Just as It was. beginning
Its fourth dav of hearings on tax
revision, with a long list of wit
nesses on hand to submit their
views on the Income and various
other levies. The letter follows:
"In my statement before your
committee on October 19, I said:
Tne tressurv fines not nmimu
any definite rate, but It presents to
you the certainty that tax reform
can go to a 25 per cent maximnm
'normal and surtax, without the
Islightest effect on our future rev
enues.' "
I "In order to assure the accuracy
or aucn a statement. It was neces-
sary for the government .actuary to
, worg out aenmte, schedules of
normal and surtax ratea . wllhln
this limit of 25 per cent, and upon
these schedules to. estimate the
'probable, loss of revenue. Tour
'committee requested that we file
the set of rates upon which the es
timates hsd been based.
I "The actuary had used the ten
tative rate schedules which yielded
substantially the same revenue,
he one originally filed wllh yon
called for the normal taxes of one
per cent on the first $3,000 of Isx
able Income; three per cent on the
next $4,000 and five per cent on
the remainder. The alternative
schedules of the actuary Is probab
ly more satisfactory and should
ave been used. This schedule of
norms! tax Is one per rent on the
first $2,000; two per rent on the
jnext $1,000; three per cent on the
,next $4,000. and five per cent on
(the remsinder.
I Proposal Only Advisory.
I "I desire therefore to substitute
thls alternative schedule for the
jflrst one already filled. Your com
mittee will work out Its own
specific rates within such limits ss
jlhe committee may determine, and
the actuary's rates are used solely
to Illustrate a possible schedule
within the limits mentioned by me.
The press has assumed that the
'actuary's schedules of rates repre
sent definite treasury proposals,
'and I am writing yon now 10 as
sure you that the treasury has
made no chsnge In the position
taken In the statement nnoted
above, and does not wish to be un
derstood to be proposing definite
rstes of tsx."
t Committee members noted that
the letter left the previously sub
mitted schedule of surtsx rates un
disturbed and that whereas the
treasury had declared the schedule
submitted on Mondsy to be pre
dicated upon repeal of the present
2.'! per cent deduction for earned
Inrom today'a letter made no ref
erence to such a repeal. s
