Governor Meier Speaks For Oregon Sales Tax Plan In response to several requests, the Observer is herewith printing the prlnclpnl execrpts of a recent, radio talk by Gov. Meier-on the, sales tax. M, and Mrs. Taxpayer of Oregon The sales tax bill will be submitted to you for your approval or rejection at a special election to be held July 21st, Preliminary to a discussion o the measure I wish to, point out that this emergency tax bllli la the outr, growth of a statewide movement to relieve the farmers and home owners of the state from the property tax a tax, that Is so high -that It has vir tually become confiscatory. The measure Is also designed to relieve counties which ore threatened with bankruptcy on account of the rapid! increase In tax delinquencies. This deplorable situation Is duo to the fact that, In common with other states, Oregon and Its 2703 local tax )lng debaUch, for the past quarter century. . . . Fifty odd millions of dollars were collected annually In Oregon on. real property when I assumed of fice. Of this amount some forty-three odd millions represented: local taxes levied, by the statea. 3763 local tax raising bodies. In addition the state hadj a net bonded and warranty In debtedness of approximately one hundred and fifty-five millions of dollars the second) largest per capita indebtedness In, ihe United States. Recognizing that the day of reckon ing was at hand, I immediately in augurated a rigid rotronchment pro gram In state affairs, with the result that I submitted, to tho last, leglsla--. live assembly a state budget which was more than eight millions of. dol lars less than the . appropriations recommended) by my predecessor in office. This was nearly six million dollars less than the authorized op- proprlations by the 1931 legislature for tho 1031-32 biennlum. Recognicing also that the bulk of . the property tax, represented local I A sales tax is tiot a new and novel levies and that drastic reductions tax. It has been tried out -with suc must be made In the expenditures of cess. oil branches of local government If I Did time permit, I should like to any substantial relief wore to be given take occasion here to refute in de tho taxpayers. I organized ihe Ore- j tail a misrepresentation that has gon Taxpayers Equalization and Con- been spread by political enemies re servation iagiie. which, With the gardfng the effect that the sales tax support of and in co-operation with measure would have on large retail other local taxpayers' organizations, business jjnjl ituttons, but I shnjl accomplished substantial results for pause only long enough to point out local tax relief. that In a cose with which I nm fnm- Duo to the economies achieved un- der this administration and the re- ductlons achieved by the tax leagues, urogons total tax on real proporty was roauced along the first .of the year from 60 odd millions to approxi- matcly 41 odd millions, of which only $3,000,000 represented taxes for state purposes, the remainder of approxi matcly 38 millions representing taxes levied by the local tax levying bodies of the state. More than 00 per cent of the entire property tax load con tinued to be made up of local tax levies.. May T be pardoned if I pause here. to interpose the remark thgit had not these economies been achieved by tho administration, with the fUd' of the various tax leagues and gan- -jHuiions, npproximflMuy viu.uuw.mju in additional taxes would have been Imposed on the property owners of Oregon during the last biennlum. When the 1933 legislative1 as sembly convened, my message out lined the plight of our owners of. real property. i It pointed out that there Is scarcely a piece of farm land in Oregon tqr day which can be leased for n rental equivalent to the taxes against the land, and that the same wns' true with respect to the owners of homes In our oltles and towns. It pointed out that, since the foundation of our commonwealth, real property had borne the lions share of our tax burden, and eXr pressed the opinion that real propei'ty could not long do so without confis cation of the projMjrfcy 1 and bank ruptcy lor our counties and munici palities. I recommended that the legislature g.ake a comprehensive study of every BH-allablo source, of revenue, Includ ing, gift, Inheritance, tobacco. Income and sales taxes, with a view of adopt ing an emergency tax to relieve th heavy tax being borne by ourfarmers and home owners. The administration's budget - was sustained by the legislature, which arter considering for sixty days, econ omy and tax measures, cnaoted a Rcncral sales tax to provide revenue to relieve the owners of real property from, excessive taxation. ; I wish to make It plain, with all the emphasis at my command, that not a single iol.ar of the revenue to be derived from the proposed sales tax is to be used for additional ex Iendltures. On the contrary, every dollar so derived will bo used to re duce state and local property taxes. oo uwt there can be no possible mlsundenaandtug as to the disposi tion of revenues to bo derived from the soles tox measure, I wont to call .attention to the fact that the law DeClfiCOllV UrovlrtPfl Mint. IIiav nrJk n. be feed to replace the Inst half of tiie state property tax, the 1933 ft mill tax on property for soldiers' bonus bonds, to create a fundof $i!50.000 for unemployed relief, ind that tho balance, until the tox ex- ircs by limitation JaAv 1st. 1935. shall lie divided cqtin iff between the atnte arid counties. Specific nrovl- 3jgn Is mode that both the state and counties must use the apportioned to them exclusively to rculaco taxes that would otherwise bo levied on property. KcRrrlng to tho unemployment r.-ature of to sales tax bill, may I catl ySir ftUoj&n to the fact that It U3sbeen the policy of the federal government to insist upon the states doing their share In the relief of un employment before allocation of red era! funds for this purpose. Because uiera Oregon. I am Informed by IvaymoncJ B. Wilcox, vice chairman or the state reconstruction advisory board, that the government's request upon this state was deferred. . . . Obviously If the sales tax meas ure carries, wo will have proved to the federal government we are en titled to our share of fodorol relief for unemployed. In view of the fact that the sales tax measure constituted a new de parture in our system of taxation, the legislature saw fit to submit It to the electorate lor approval or rejection At the polls. Since the'submlssion of- the mea-. ure, lit has beemsubjectedito jk much misrepresentation, tbat-even:farm or? ganlzatlons, the particular, class tiiat the measure was drafted.-to. aid, have seen fit to, oppose if. In this con dition. I wish to- emphasize that farm products which are (old to dealers or to each other for resele are exempt: Irom ttii- tax thaf the personal property tax Is. removed from livestock, Irom Implements, from growing crops, andi that levies on farm property will be reduced both by the elimination of the state tax and by the division of the funds with the counties. . . . In addition to giving needed relief to taxpayers itoday, a lowering of the property tax will be conducive to the general prosperity of Oregon. High property taxes, drive away In dustryi discourage land ownership and contribute to the general .un employment. We should, put our selves In a position now so that when prosperity returns we can hold out Inducement to home seekers, indus try and capital, that we have a low property tax levy. It is a well-known laot that before one buys a larm or establishes a business or Industry one first asks, what is the tax rate? One Inquires whether It is high or low If It is excessive? Prospective home seekers or Investors will go elsewhere if the tax levy Is too "high. . . ; So It Is not only a question of relieving property owners to whom the property tax has become ruinous, but the future Industrial welfare of I.00 state Is at stake. Failure to, re-, llev0 property reduces employment aIKl wakes the worker's plight more distressing. Relief to property ultim- atW comes ow to the worker. iliar the business will Dav several times as much under the sales tax as It will escape In the abolition of tjie personal property a. It has. been stated that the company would save approximately 90,000, a year if the sales tax passed. Such a state- ment is utterly false. Let me also say that It has been a major objective of my adminis tration from the beginning to reduce and abolish, If possible, property taxes on our farms and our homes. Let me say too, in, this connection, that in submitting tills sales tax measure for your consideration, 'the recent legislative assembly had one purpose.'and one purpose only, and that was to lighten and make easier ycir tax burden The legislators did not want to see counties going bank rupt, school activities seriously cur tailed or suspended, and the main tenance of law and order reverting back to pioneer methods.. , As a. final nnrvn 1 T nrrrn nn i ' . --j-i - - ev j w Study the measure without prejudice or bias, and having done so, to vote your convictions, regardless of parti san politics and misdirected propa ganda.
