Labor Adopts Policy Against Tax Proposal Osborne Voices Views Over Station KOI!\ Proposed 'Pax Amendment Stands as Destructive \ o Labor Secretary Ben T. Osborne, executive sec | retary of the State Federation of Labor, declared that organized la | bor was against the proposed 20 i mill tax limitation movement, i speaking over radio station KOIN I Saturday night. ; According to Osborne, the pro jposed amendment is the most vic j ious and potentially destructive i piece of legislation ever offered to I the voters of Oregon. In his speech Osburne, who not only spoke for organized labor, but for 40 or 50 civic, social service and educational groups, states: “That the proposed measure is a more serious threat and a great er menace than all of the red agi tation that has been done in Ore gon in a decade.” Public education would be the most crippled of all public servic es, said Osborne. “Organized la bor, more than any other one group was responsible for this sys tem of education. Labor takes this position because we believe in the principles of democracy, and a democracy can succeed only to the extent that the people are in formed.” Curtailment Shown Osborne quoted statements is sued by State Superintendent Howard, which showed what the adoption of the amendment would do in curtailing school facilities, including the closing of high schools, or the alternative of pay ing tuition to attend them. Selfish Interests Sponsor “The amendment is sponsored by a group which is acting in its own selfish interests, and which has no regard for the welfare of the great mass of citizens of Ore gon. It is designed to relieve the wealthy, and shift the burden of taxation more and more on the shoulders of those least able to pay,” the speaker declared. Other statements by Osborne in dicated (hat labor believed that if the amendment was adopted it would have demoralizing effects on all public schools and the fire and police departments in every city in Oregon. Public payrolls would be reduced, public employees discharged, and the public would be the ultimate ones to suffer. Small Tax Reduction In refuting arguments made by lhe exponents of the measure Os borne told of the comparatively small reduction in taxes which would be made to the small prop erty owner, the loss of valuable public services including the edu cational facilities of the state, and Ihe fact that by the adoption of an unjust form of taxation the small landholder or property own er would have to puy many times the tax he is now paying. Osborne told of the inability of the state, if the proposed measure diould pass, to meet such necessi ties as care for the aged and other uncial insurance.
