Taxation, Capital and
the Oregon Farmer
fiv BR UCE DENNJS,
Author of the Dennis Resolution.
During the heat and excitement of political cam­
paigns and confusing statements that attend them we are
apt at times to forget hard economic facts, and the hitter
fruits of some pet "‘ism’’ that looked good in theory but
do heavy damage in practice.
For this reason it is time to begin
telling a few plain truths about'land
taxation, the incomes of our ptaple, cor­
porations and industries, and again to
bring to mind the faet that eapital does
not need Oregon—but Oregon does need
capital.
And the reason why we should con-
tinue to remind ourselves and our friends
is because another effort is being made
to force tt state income tax upon our peo­
ple despite the fact that practically
the same tax cost many millions in eapital and improve­
ments to Oregon and the people of Oregon before it was
repealed in 1924. ,We c;inuot expect a proved breeder of
hard times to bring good times, because it can’t be done.
And here are a few of the reasons why:
•
•
•
In all of Oregon’s 96,000 square miles there is an
estimated population of only 825,000 people—less than 9
to the square mile. We have 55,157 farms—an average of
one to every 15 people. We have only 2500 industries
that employ five men or more—an average1 of one in­
dustry to every 330 people.
Out of Oregon’s 825,000 people, 782,25fr-didn’t have
net incomes big enough to file ineome tax returns. Of
the 42.545 who did, one-half of them showed earnings
under $3000 and only 311 had earnings in excess of
$10,000. Only one-fifth of Oregon’s 5000 corporations
made enough to file returns and of the 1073 reporting.
478 made less than $5000. and only 183 made in excess of
$20.000.
•
•
Our farms and our industries are our two main
sources for new, wealth. 7
..................................
They
both face hard problems
on account of scant and scattered population, long hauls,
competition, insufficient capital, and heavy and ever-
mounting taxes. If our farms are to prosper they have
to secure outside money for loans and money to finance
crops. If our industries are to develop they have to fi­
nance their purchases and payrolls. Both have to hav,
markets and that means new people and more industries.
•
•
•
That is what the Dennis resolution is designed to do.
It is an invitation for eapital to come in and help us all
out. We desperately need new money to open up the
state. We have to have money for farm loans and no
matter how pretty this talk sounds about state income
tax we cannot escape the economic and unalterable faet
that new capital which we require does not have to and
will not come to Oregon unless we make it advantageous
for it to do so.
We must remember that there are 120,000,000 people
in the United States. Of them one hundred and nineteen
million plus, live outside of Oregon. They have plenty of
need for the same money in case we of Oregon don’t
show that we really want, it. We tried it once—and be­
fore the people repealed the state income tax it cost us
millions; drove industries, payrolls and taxable wealth
out of Oregon and taxes still went up! Every farmer
who had to borrow money knows what it did to him, too.
•
•
•
No forward thinking and constructive citizen wants
that disaster to happen agaitf
Instead of making things hard for everybody—farm­
er, merchant, industrial worker and citizens in general,
we .want to have a purely economic problem taken out
of polities. The way to do it is to vote no against both
the Grange Income Tax Bill and Offset Tax Bill and vote
yes for the Dennis resolution. By this means we guaran­
tee to every citizen, industry, and to capital that there
will be no income tax before 1940. It further guarantees
to every family that they will not have to pay taxes on
their savings when then their bread winner dies. It is
a prosperity-making measure—it is sound business policy
and deserves every progressive citizen’s support.
