we stand for a law that
kept 3000 families out of O regon
Of course we wouldn’t!' So it’s up to us to vote the
antagonistic Income Tax Law out of existence!
For it has already lost for Oregon payrolls amount’
ing to more than six million dollars ($6,000,000)
a year! And six million dollars means at least
3000 families who are lost to Oregon’s popula­
tion in just one year under this dangerous law.

Oregon needs Jobs and Markets
The Income Tax kills both!
Vote 312X YES and kill the Income Tax!
If there are two things Oregon needs above a 11 others it is ( I ) jobs for her
workers, and (2) markets for her products. Every new enterprise or in­
dustry brought into Oregon means more jobs. Jobs support population. Ev-

customer who quits and says nothing —
I he insidious thing about this law is that industries do not complain—they «imply
products.
Yet the income tax law antagonizes industries and enterprises. Many au­
thentic cases are on file where industries MOVED OUT OF OREGON OR
DECIDED NOT TO COME TO OREGON bXw of the income tax law
Counting loss of capital invested, purchases and payroll, this loss is already
conservatively estimated at more than $40,000,000. The payroll loss alone
is already over $6,000,000 a year I
pack up and move to another state I They are like the customer who quits and says
mA* ’T’“ nTr feV* td'“aIti’fied nor why —he«e have no chance to
make matters right with him. Many large concerns who left or stayed out of Ore­
gon on account of the income tax refused to allow us to use their names because
they did not want to be made to appear as tax dodgers—and yet they could not ef-
