FDR TAX LEW CUT
Closed Season on Bonds Is
Keynote ' of Campaign.
MR. TEAL ASKS ECONOMY
AH City Organizations Will Be In
Yited to Auditorium to Frame
Plan for Cutting Expenses.
' Every effort will fce made to put an
nd to the wholesale expenditure of
public money in Portland and for the j
inauguration or a sane administration
of public affairs with a view to lower
in? the tax levy, through a campaign
inaugurated by the Portland Realty
board at ita luncheon yesterday at
the Portland hotel. The board adopted
the motto suggested by Joseph N.
Teal, ex-member of the shipping
board. "Lower taxes and a closed sea
son on bond issues," as the keynote
of the campaign.
At the close of an address by Mr.
Teal, who emphasized the need for
retrenchment in public expenditures,
the board voted to devote a meetinx
May 3 at the Portland hotel to the
framing of a definite programme for
cutting down taxes. It was announced
that prominent Portlanders Interested
In lower taxes would be invited to
meet with the organization to assist
In mapping out a line of action.
Another meeting-will be held at the
auditorium to which all organizations
Interested will be invited.
Plea Blade for Cut la Levy.
The unanimous action of the board
In launching the tax-cutting cam
paign came after Mr. Teal had de
clared that If public expenditures were
not stopped, the cost of peace would
be greater than the cost of war.
"We have arrived at a point where
taxation must be reduced," he said.
There should be a decrease in the
levy. It can be done and it must be
4one." v
W. B. Shlvely, chairman of the legal
eommlttee of the board, moved that a
meeting be held to frame a pro
gramme to stop useless expenditures.
"There is need for public sentiment
being aroused to realization of the
Importance of the issue," he said. ' "I
am with Mr. Teal. I do not agree with
Herbert Gordon that the tax levy
should be held where It is at the pres
ent time. I thins: that we should go
further and demand a decrease. We
have been doing nothing but sit and
resolute and then go about our busi
, ness. We should go farther than that.
We should frame a programme and go
down the line and see that it is put
through.
Publicity Is Emphasised.
The importance of acquainting the
public with the question was empha
sized by Coe A. McKenna, president of
the board, who referred to the fact
that the Rotary club, at its meeting
Tuesday, had rejected the resolution
asking tax levying bodies to make no
further increases in the levy and had
merely contented itself with asking
for economy in public expenditures
to as great an extent as possible, con
sistent with efficient administration.
Mr. Gordon, who was chairman of
the day, explained that he was heart
ily in favor of the move for a lowering
of the tax levy.
"The reason I asked merely that the
levy be kept where It is without fur
ther Increase was because I thought
that would be all that I would be able
to- do," he said.
Mr. Teal said practically every ac
tivity in the country was passing from
the extravagance of the war period
to normal conditions and he empha
sized the need for public business to
follow suit
Big: Tax Increase Cited.
"In 1911 the state per capita tax
was $2.06 and In 1921 that had ln-
creased to $12.12," he declared. "This
was an increase of 585 per cent, while
the population increased 1614 per cent
The state tax consequently increased
S3 times as fast as the population.
During the same period Multnomah
county taxes increased six times as
fast as the population and 11 times as
fast as the wealth.
"Much of this increase was the re
sult of our own voting and so we have
only ourselves to blame. We must
learn to vote intelligently, to deter
mine what is essential and to oppose
anything which is not.
Mr. Teal referred to the proposed
$200,000 bond issue for the purchase
of fire apparatus and characterized
It as "foolishness."
"The fire department has constantly
increased in expanse since 1910," he
aid.
Surrey of Schools Suggested.
The speaker declared that no money
and no tax levy could guard against
a conflagration like that of Chicago
or San Francisco. He said the law of
averages must be taken into consid
eration and the city made reasonably
safe from fire loss. He said also he
was In favor of a survey being made
of the public schools to determine
what is essential and what is not.
He read a portion of an article, re
printed from the Saturday Evening
Post In The Oregonian of yesterday
morning, in which the need for the
lowering of the tax levy was empha
sized. Mr. Teal said that Portland had
been fairly conservative in the past
and it was due to this fact that this
city is in better condition financially
and from the business standpoint than
other rival cities.
In emphasizing the need for action
lie declared "ten earnest men in thia
city can save it lust as ten could have
saved Sodom and Gomorrah."
