Portland Man Gives Some
Good Advice to People
of Oreflon.
Joffcrson Myers ,of Portland,
writes a letter to The Telegram
Jn which ho voices a goucrnl protest
ngnlnst present hlglv tax lovles. In
tho courso of his letter, Mr. Myers
enys:
"At this tnxpaylng time, tho pio
j)lo of Oregon nre spenklng In no
unrortnln tones against tho" present
lawn which encourago spendthrift
officials In their mnd oxtrnvngtuico.
J so - no way to reduce tho present
Increaslngnnd wpll-nlgh unbonrablo
burden of taxation, except through
tho aid of legislative members
Wedged to reduce. Tho way to rc
duco tnxatlon Is to reduce, not to
shift tho burden. A strong legis
lative body upholding tho hnuds of
n fearless Governor wloldlng tin
pruning knife, Is my Idea or Oro
Ron's greatest neod, Tho citizens of
Oregon enn havo this, but not
by nn Indolent or lazy policy of re
fusing' to g"t Its good citizens In the
IloUV as cnndldnteu, by potitlous or
otherwise, or by fulling to go to tho
rollB and voto. I hnvo great confi
dence In tho women votorB of this
Btntc, bcllevclug that women are
Konornlly more careful nnd econom
ical lu their expenditures than mon.
All parties are Interest d In good
nnd economical government. Have
wo In tho state of Oregon ro'lucod
tho coBt of living by creating addi
tional officials, boards and commls
filons In tho last t' n yo.irs? And nro
conditions generally Improved In
proportion to tho Increase of ex
penditures? In 100r tho population of Oregon
was 'I Gn, 000. The total tnxablo
property In Oregon was J.109,000.
000. Tho total tax s pafd by nil
counties In the Btntc for Htato pur
poses was $1,000,000, not Includ-)
nig (no common bciiooih. in juiu,
five yours later, population G7H -000;
nHHossed valuation of all pron
orty, $841,000,000; total taxes paid
by nil counties for H'ate piirpoxcH,
$1,528,000. In 1!)t:i, Ktlmatel
population. 800.000; assessed valua
tion of all property In the Btntc,
9D1,noo,000; lotul taxes paid by
nil rountleH for Htato purposes, ?!,
ICi.OOO. This dnos not Include tho
tnlBcollanoouB taxes collected by tin
Htnto for automobile licenses, cor
poration tnxes, Inheritance taxes, and
fish und game licenses and other
Hoiirc s, amounting to a eonsldptublu
mini, I have not i o figures on tho
latter at this time, but they can lie
obtained from the Secretary cf State
or State Treasurer.
"If 1 wor- to inako any sugges
tion to voters, at tis time It would
bcT'tlils" Thnt you roqulro from each
mudldnto for Governor and from
oneli cnndldato for tho two brnnches
of tho legislature a doflnlt state-1
mont as to how he proposes to ro-'
ltioo the cost of government In tho
utnto of Oregon.
"Another Huggestlou Is lu th'-1
nntiirn of a warning agaliiBt tho pres
ent reckless Issuance of bonds, conn-'
ty, city and school, without consld
oiutlon ns to their payment when
iluo. If the present rat of Increase
hi taxation and tho cost of govern
tunnt continues, how long will, it
take boforo we will bo on tho vorgo
of bankruptcy, nnd tho consequent
repudiation of our bonded obliga
tions? And how will fuliiru goner
aliens bo ablo to meet their obliga
tions and pay our debts?" .
