POItTLAND. Oct. 21.(AP)
Die firm organized opposition to
the proponed special session of tin
legislature to enact an old-age pen
sion transaction tax was under way
today following an appeal by Hen
f. Osborne, secretary of the Ore-
gon State Federation of Labor
M25 nffllluted unions to combal the
proposal. i
"Do not he deceived. A sales tax
by any other mime Is just as odious
us if it were culled u sales tux,"
(Osborne said iu a letter to the
unions and to central una district
councils.
The letter urged that union mem
bers refrain from signing petitions
being circulated by the Townseud
organization asking the session,
and that they write legislators up
posing the proposed tax If the ses
sion is called.
It asserted that the suggestion
of a transactions tux for pension
purposes was u subterfuge, the
real purpose of tho move being to
relieve large property owners uud
to prevent the imposition of heav
ier Income tuxes upon the larger
incomes.
The letter recalled that Oregon
voters had turned down proposals
for a sales tax on three previous
occasions.
