f When the people of Oregon enacted a state income tax in
1923 they did so because they believed it was just and right.
They believed it would reduce taxes.. At that time they had
plenty of theory and few facts to guide them.
i They repealed that law in li)24 .because
it was a proved hard times breeder.' It cost
the people of Oregon the staggering total of
$40,00000 to learn that economic conditions
absolutely beyond their control are such in
Oregon that a state income tax drives out
industries, keeps others from coming in, re
duces payrolls,' makes it harder to obtain
faim loans, and strikes at every home in
country, village, town and city.
...... . " .
But our state is again in turmoil because a
determined effort is being made to force
I practically this same law upon the state this, year. Our- pp!
i pie are being asked to ignore plain fundamental economic 1
facts. They are being asked to. enact a law on a "jyuessB-i

The Eastern Oregon Normal School bill will carry, we be
lieve. Certainly it has had excellent and enthusiastic sup
port. Tho people of this section are grateful to those broad
minded, neighborly residents of the western part of the
'state who have recognized the merit of the project and have
worked for its success. The Observer is particularly grate
ful to tho many daily newspapers of Western Oregon who
havo given ear to our plea und have passed it on to their
thousands of readers.
Oregon, und a new state income tax will do it again.
Oregon is full of meritorious projects that should be'
developed. Big public improvements are necessary to open
up our state, to bring the farms closer to their markets and!
cities closer to their bases of supplies. Wealth untold lies,
idle in natural resources awaiting the magic touch of dc-i
yelopment capital to bring it to the tax rolls, to create noW:j
payrolls, new activities and better livelihood for our people. I
.. Since the last income tax law was repealed millions of dot

enacted, and this discrimination aimed directly at these in
vestors, rates will go up, much of the unbailed funds will be
withdrawn, and our people will again face tho inescapable
