Principles Of Taxation
The principles that should shape the new tax bill j
J should be the taxation of luxuries and wealth, rather
than poverty and necessities. So far as possible taxes j
should not be laid that interfere with business.
The proposed assessments oil bank checks and 1
the additional postage charge for first class "mail, are
1 contrary to sound principles of taxation, since they are 1
assessments on business. People do not write many
letters for pleasure nowadays. Most correspondence 1
relates to business and essential matters. No matter
if the additional charge per letter is small, it is added
to the cost of every business enterprise and the people 1
must eventually pay it.- The same is true of the small
j tax proposed on bank checks. In the aggregate these
charges upon the people will be heavy. ' . I
These taxes are unfair because they come on people 1
of small means just as heavily as on those of large.
j They are a cost added to the expense of doing business
in every necessity of life. - .
Taxes on such things as soft drinks, costly cloth-
ing, amusement enterprises, etc., may seem a nuisance 1
! to the people who have to pay them. Yet they conform 1
to correct principles of taxation, by hitting the things 1
I that are luxuries. They are a form of taxation that
can be avoided by people who feel taxes most. And
those who spend money freely will not notice the small
added amount of the tax. Taxes on incomes, if not
carried to extremes, are fair because they come out
of the people who can afford to pay them. Taxes on
business like the postage charge advance and bank
check tax, hit business, and add to expense of produc-
. tion and eventually come out of the common people.
When you relieve trade of a tax so that the cost
of production shall be as little as possible, you free
i business from its difficulties.-

SURVEY SHOWS MANY
ARE DEPENDENT IN
CLACKAMAS COUNTY
Public Health Service Issues
Statistics Covering
Entire State
The cost of dependencj in Clacka
r.iasX:ounty is the sixth highest in the
ytate, according to figures complied by
Dr. Chester Carlisle of the U. S. Health
Service, in his Oregon state survey of
mental defect delinquency and depend
ency, a condensed report of which has
last been published by the University
of Oregon.
In tho amount annually spent for
widows pensions, Clackamas is second"
only to Multnomah county The figure?
lire based upon the year euding Juno
SO, 1920. Of the total of $r,09,032.4S
suent in the state of Oregon during
the period for caring for social depend
ents, $17,056.66 is cnarsred against this
county. Nearly half of the total amount
was spent by Multnomah county.
Pension Cost High
Widow's pensions pest Clackamas
county $i4,496.47 for the year on
which computations are based. The
only figure that was higher than this
was Multnomah county, with neariy
S."!S.0f!0. The total stale lismrt- is eriven
as $84,642.6. Of the 728 widows in the
state who receive pensions, 5o are in
this countv. Clackamas has a total ;t
86 dependents a year on an average,
according to Dr. Carlisle's resume, the
total in the state being 1S26. In this
class Clackamas county has the fourth
largest number.
Clackamas county has the second
largest number of persons in the in
stitutions'of the state Tne total or
Oregon is 10,167 of which 9S4 come
from' this county. Nearly 500? are from
Multnomah county. Theneyt highest
to Clackamas Is Washington with a
total of 580. Inmates of the different
institutions of the state from Clacka
mas are as follows: Botn state hos
pitals for insane, 138; State school fo:-feebie-minded,
32; State training
school for boys. 24; State industrial

with the aid of the entension division
of the University of Oregon. The sur
vey -as requested by the Oregon leg
islature in an effort to collect the data'
necessary before wise legal meg.sure-5
could be taken to prevent mjjch of
the dependency in the state and to
properly care for depen-ients.
In his report, speaking of the cost
of social inadequacv in Oregon, Dr.
Carl;sle says:
"From time to time various legt-s
lativo bodies all over the country have
askej thatthe cost of mental disease.
mental defect delinquency and depend
ency be ascertained for tha informa
tion of the public. This request, is ir
effect a confession that our fjstem of
keeping public records of expenditures
bis not been sufficiently systematiz
ed to proc'uee a perpetual inventory''
the number and cost of inadequate
citizens. A glance at the usual finam:
ia.1 report of the average county of any
state will demonstrate two things.
One is that all public expenditure.-!
may be divided into two classes, i. e
fa) expenditures made for construct
ive civic purposes (ood roads, edu
cation, public hea!th, industrial pro
ieets, heat, light and general main
tenance of government) ; and (b) ex
penditures made on account of the in
adequate, non-constructive citizen (the
mental defective, the delinquent, the
dependent) and the cost vo the gov
ernment in maintaining these sub
normal types.
Itemization Lackiig
"The second point to be noticed in
the review of a published financial
leport is that in the case of the" in
i'd equate,' delinquent and dependent
types, there is not sufficient itemiza
tion to inform the pub'ic as o the ac
tual per capita cost of all such inade
quate types, including the total over
head costs of courts, sheriffs, police,
jurors, Witnesses and all the other
avenues for expenditure which the in
adequate conduct of the subnormal in-
individuals entails upon the public
treasury.
"For these reasons it has been found
practically impossible to reach all cost
of all individuals who were dependent
because of mental or physical defects,
Jisease or disorder, or who were de
pendent or economic reasons beyond
their control, or who were delinquent,
whether sentenced or committed or
not. We can say, however, that, in a
word the total number of the grossly
inadequate type of citizen in Oregon
represents about 5 per cent of the
total population of the state, while a
further 5 per cent are border line cases
.f social inadequacy all of whom arj
forever potential social liabilities.
Remedy Is Given
"Exclus've' of .all state expenditures
mad -j for the constructive citizen pur
poses, we may say without fear at
contradiction that practically every
cent spent from publfc or private
sources for the detection, detention,
care, treatment and maintenance of
ihe mentally and physicnlly subnor
mal, the delinquent and the dependent
is expended on account of the soeial
inadequacy of this small minority if
ihe population. This illustrates how.
if we hope ultimately to reduce such
p-iblic costs, it is absolutely neces
sary to eradicate the fundamental
nauses of such social inadequacy and
citizen failure.
"In such a program the segregation
of the unfit, and the scientific rehab-
litat-i'ji of the potential failures upon
a basis of individual development
capacity must be systematically, ade
quate and patiently carried out, one
generation after another, and in the
moart'me we must be awake to th-s
danger of Laving our soc'al body re
infected by "an unrestricted irflux )f
those who have a social history ef
criminality, pauperism and crippling
mental or physical disease or defect."'

the inflammation can be reduced and

toward the project. An ordinance to
this effect rlissed- its first readinsr
July 6, and was published. It was to
come up for final action at the council
meeting July 15. But it didn't. Nothing
was ever done about it, and at thj
specia; sessions of the solons?, nothing
was heard m regard to the play
ground. This, according to legil opinions nit
on the subject, amounts practically v
the death of the ordinance If any ap
propriation is to be made by the city
f-ntirn new proceedings will have u
be instituted, acording to City Attor
ney O. D. Eby.
Options Have Expired
In the mean time, options on'tho
two pieces of property, for the pur
chase sum of $7,S00 have expired. Th.j
appropriation has been agreed to by
:he school board, but the property can
not be bought without augmentation
by the city's portion of the frnd.
The agrement for the purchase, sub
stantially made by the city when thi
council passed the ordinance upon its
i"irst reading with but one dissenting
vote was with the provision that the
school board was to eq'-up tbe pro
perty for an all-year children's p'ay
ground, and to assume the responsi
bility of upkeep arid management.
Le?al advice as to right of the city
ana school board to make the pur
chase differs. Verbal opinions to fhe
effect that the school board both can
and cannot appropriate funds for the
purpose without a special election to
voe the money have been given.
Legality is Questioned
In .egavd to the legality of the city's
ictic-n, Attorney Eby holds that the
purchase can be made- with fun.ls
on ha -id tn.it are not to be used for
any speciaY purpose. The appropria
tion of money which are in funds to
he used for such purposes as the re
tirement of bonds, etc., will not, ho
believes, be legal.
The district attorney is to be asked
for an opinion upon the matter from
the .school board's angle of the affair
Altho Livy Stipp has rendered a
verbal opinion, he has made no of
ficial statement as to the law in the
case.
Before a purchase can be made the
legality of the matter will have to be
cleared up, new options will have to
be obtained and new proceuings in
stituted in the city council to appropri
ate the funds for the ciy's snare.
