Newspaper Page TextTHURSDAY OCTOBER . 21,41820. 8 THE .OREGON DAILY, . JOU RNAL, PORTLAND, OREGON. SlfJGLE TAX AIMS AND TO EXEMPT L TOR FOUR YEARS Seven proposed amendments to the itate constitution and four measure -U propositions In all are to.be submitted to the voters of Oregon for their approval or rejection at the general election to be held on Tues day. November 2. For the Informa tion of the voters, these various pro posals will be summarized and their provisions stated in brief form, com mencing with the first o appear on the ballot and continue In the order in which they will be found there. All are Important, some of vital mo ment' to the future welfare of the state and its citizens. Because of this, every voter owes a duty not only to the public, mit to hlnmelf In dividually to digest these different amendments and measures and to register his vote for or against each according to the conclusion he reaches as to the wisdom or unwis dom of each. The "Single Tax Constitutional Amendment" is the fourth proposl-i tlon to appear on the November bal . Jot, It would amend section 1 of article 9 of tho state constitution. Should the amendment be adopted that section of the consitutlon would Front July I. 1921, to and until July 1. .1925, all revenues necessary for the maintenance of state, county, municipal and district government snail be raised by a tax on the value of landT irwspeo live of Improvements In or on H, and thereafter the full rental value of land. Irrespective of Improvements, shall be taken in lieu of all other taxes for the maintenance of government, and for such other purposes as the people may direct. The Intent of this amendment is to forever prevent the exploitation of the individual through the monopoly of natural or community made values and opportunities." That this amendment would entirely overturn the existing theory of taxation In Oregon may be seen from a glance at the section it would supplant which reads : "The legislative assembly shall, and the people through the Initiative may. provide by law uniform rules of as sessment and taxation. All taxes snail be levied and collected under general laws operating uniformly throughout the state." PEOPLE HAVE POWEB . It may be stated, however, that this overturn of the existing order, through the adoption of the amendment would follow ffom Its mandate, and become ef fective through statutes of procedure, the enactment of which would follow as a matter of governmental necessity, though as the constitution now stands, the same result could be obtained by statutory amendment alone whenever the legislature, or the people, through the initiative, might so direct. In other words, clearly lt would be possible with sectton 1 of article 9 of the constitution standing as it Is to day, for either the legislature or the people of the state, acting within the scope and under the authority of the constitution, to wipe out existing stat utes governing the assessment and col lection of taxes and . to substitute, the whole machinery of the single tax theory In their stead, should the time ever come when the majority of the legislature, or of the voters, might so decree. The ex isting constitution is broad enough in Its terms to embrace the single tax when ever the legislature or the people might decide to substitute It for the existing system. Therefore, It is unnecessary from a . constitutional standpoint to al ter the fundamental law of the state preparatory to instiling the full rental value of lands as the sole basis of governmental revenue. That may be done under present constitutional power and it may not be done in either event without supporting statutory legislation. which. In itself, would be sufficient to bring about the change in system should the people desire it , LAND WOULD BEAK BCRDEN" The amendment proposes a four year interregnum between July 1, 1921, and July l, 1925, during which the naked value of land and .nothing else, shall be the basis of all governmental revenue. During that time the business block, the residence, whether palace or hovel, the power stations, dams, transmission lines, rails, rolling ' stock ana everything be longing to the public utility corporations, everything owned, other than land, by all the corporations and individuals of the state, would go scot free of taxa tion. Land alone would bear the bur den of government. fter that interregnum the full rental value of the land, irrespective of im provements, would bear the whole load. And the full rental value would be the sole basis of taxation. The inheritance tax would go by the board. There could be no tax on the gross earnings of cor porations, no income tax either as to corporations or as to Individuals. The man who owned no land would pay no tax. The land owner would pay all the expenses of government, state, county. municipal and . district.- , . i Those who desire to sea the adoption of the amendment should vote "30 X Yes" ; those who desire to see it defeated should its "S07 X Ko." . -. r r Challenge to Debate Is Sent to Harvard - University by Reed Harvard university is the aim of Reed's latest debate challenge. Not con tented with the triangular debate con tract which has been signed with the University of Oregon and Oregon Agrl cultural college, the Reed debate man ger, Lewis Jones, has sent a challenge to the eastern university. George L. Koehn. head of the history department at Reed and debate coach, has arranged debate tryouts for Friday.

The. name of the association was changed by a practically unanimous .vote from "Garage and Repair Men s associ ation'' to " Portland Automotive Trades association," the change being brought about by repeated misinterpretation of functions and the confusion of the pub lic as to its scope. Unffer the new name, all automoive trades forming a part of the Industry are recognised. Automotive Trades Change Title and Make Nominations J. V. Bischoff. Virgil Cooper. R. C. Powell and C. L.
