TOM JOHNSON APPROVES
PROPOSED TAX REFORM
Tom L. Johnson, mayor of Cleveland,
(., who sprang into national fame
through his redtentloss fight against
corporations and in particular the street
railway company of Cleveland, from
whom he finally wrested a three-cent
fare, looks with favor upon the pro
posed exemption from taxes of labor
products in this state. In a letter to
a Portland friend Mr. Johnson says:
"I have your letter of the 1.1th with
eiicvlosures. You may be sure it gives
me pleasure to know the progress Ore
gon is making along the lines of adopt
ing a system of taxation according to
benefits received, and the exemption
of those labor products which do not
benefit by the outlay of public money
in your state.
"The adoption of the proposed con
stitutional amendment must of neces
sity enormously increase your wealth
production. Monopoly now forces pro
duction to a small part of the wealth
producing land, whether it be fanning
land, manufacturing sites, iron, -eon I or
oil lands that be considered ; a vast
acreage remaining unused held for spec
ulation. ' ' Probably the greatest evil results
from the fact that the more indus
trious the farmers of any district, the
better their buildings, fences and
drains, the greater the value of un
used adjoining wild Innd. Thus, under
our present tax system, their progress
iveness it capitali.ed into greater in
debtednos to he nssnmed by their sons
and daughters whrn they purchase near
the old homestead, with in many cases
the additional handicap that the best
timber has been cut and sold.
"Kxcmption of manufacturers' d
chinery sod building, with thp com
petition between manufacturers to sell
gitud. hoiihl enable them to supply
their output to the farmers cheaper, bv
at le:it the amount of the tar they
now pnv, while making n large profit
a heretofore.
"Prom every viewpoint your prop
ortion commends itself to me as a long
step
the direction of justice and ft
grander civilization
"With heartiest best wishes for your
surcttM, I urn. sincerely vonrs.
