"AN ADDED
BURDEN"
Jteprlulcd from iIh1
Voter

The consolidation of the county fair ami the Union utock
show-is both smart and neighborly, especially since both af
fairs-suffered from lack of state aid this year. The stock
sIuim? has lccomc in recent years not only a I'nion county
event of imiKiitunee but an Kastein Oregon event. Every
one throughout the county should make an effort to attend
sometime during the next three days. The show gives a most
encouraging picture of stock and agricultural activities in this
territory. To see the exhibit is to have a new j.ppreciatioii
of the resources and possibilities of a great Eastern Oregon.
i
I INDUSTRIAL OIUI-XTIONS -
The question of the proposed state income tax and what
it mfyht do to Oregon's development of the future is a matter
of sm ious importance to the people of this state. There is a
wido diversity of opinion on the subject, on what the ad
vantages and disadvantages mirht be, on the theory of taxing
incomes. Many fanners, for example, feel that an income tax
might well relieve the property burden, might allow agricul
tuie to prosper more faiily, and might attract new land set
tlers' who would add to the state's population and productive
wealth. t
Manufacturers and citizens having industrial interests
believe, on the other hand, that the income tax would keep
muci capital out of the tate, Ijdd diive some industries al
ready ha re into more atTractiveU'cns, a!uT, would actually
constitute merely a naddiliona! tax Imwlen not a property
, tax relief. I
What is the most likely and logical pninf of view? For
the average citizen it is difficult to deteimine in the present
case because the .state is in a financial mess and because the
average citizen is influenced by his associations and his job.
Here in Kastein Oregon there aie many voters for both sides
since we have both agricultural and industrial interests, but
it is worth while for everyone to rend the letter icpiinted
from the Oregon Voter in todny's Observer to appreciate
fully the manufacturers view point--that of the capitalist
who' has money awtiiahle for investment in Oregon develop
ment. Mr. Keith, author of the letter, says frankly that his com-;
pany would have hesitated seriously in making Oregon in
vestments if the piv. ent situation could have been foreseen,'
says that future expansion will be limited, will be made out
side fof this state, if the income tax principle becomes fixed
in Oregon. Whether or not a manufacturer rail or pros
pective, is justified in s;uh an attitude is umitipoi tant. The
fact that he so regards a stale income tax is the thing de
serving thought. j
i He is not alone m that opinion. In Kastern Oregon there
are several large lumbeiing concerns that ao delaying de
velcpmeut plans because of the income tax proposal. One
plant aheady lias land puicha.scd for tin- election of a large
