The Pro and Con of Proposed Income Tax A Correction. The statement was made in these columns a week ago that * * If one paid a property tax, it is presumed that such tax would be upon a home and that his tax upon his home would not be greater than the rent paid by the non-home owner, so there would be no discrimination. ’ ’ There is an error in the above statement that is almost inexcus able, but uo one called it to our at tention. The fact is that tho home owner could deduct from his gross income any amount paid in taxes in any form, except inheritance tax, the tax imposed by the act or improvement taxes. The interest upon his in vestment in a home and other ex penses of keeping up a home would offset for the home owner the amount paid in rent by the non- home owner. KEENEY ON INCOME TAX. An interesting communication anent the income tax has been re ceived from Ben F. Keeney, for many years county assessor, member of the legislature when the income tax bill was passed and recently appointed to fill the unexpired term ot Herbert E. Walker as county assessor. Because the communica tion arrived too late for publication in full in this issue and because publication in the next issue would bo too late, the following resume is made: .1 ¿1 millions. These profits will not be assessable until the lands are sold or until the products thereof are sold. Timber laud owners do not seem to bo anxious for an income tax. We have not heard them yell ing for one, yet if wo were to ven ture a guess it would be that they are hit about as hard as any class of property owners in the state. When we add the unreported incomes from property owned by industries and business concerns, the unreported incomes of farms and residence properties and the accru ing profits upon non-tillablo laud to tho 16 2-3 per cent referred to by those who attempt to show a small iucomo paying the bulk of tho tax es, we are likely to find that we have about 75 per cent or 80 per cent of tho income to pay 75 per eent or 80 per cent of the taxes. This can not be proved, becauso there are no data with which to provo it, but tho facts given do prove that it is far from correct to say that 16 2-3 per cent of income pays 80 per cent of tho taxes. Lane county’s assessment rolls represent the best efforts of an average assessor, yet they are a tragedy because of the absence of property not listed. Tangible prop erty represents 98.7 per cent of Lane county’s tax roll and intangi ble property 1.3 per cent.
