Because of tho shortage or this

desirable that Oregon growers bo sure
of getting home-grown seed for next
year's crops. Some fields In tho Wil

to be a total loss have since recover

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

was roauced along the first .of the

$3,000,000 represented taxes for state
purposes, the remainder of approxi

of the entire property tax load con

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..
