Editor of The Journal The Taxpayers', league of Portland submits herewith the following statement for- the consideration; of ; the voters in connection with tax at $3.00p.-P 000 Which It is proposed to levy on the property within the city of Portland for the proposed 1925 exposition., V- r It is recognised " that' some . tateresU and Individuals win receive- special benefits.- Therefore' 81,000,000 of 86,000,000 is to be raised by private subscription: Frinte subiritioos .;..ii,.j.- 1.000,000 - Toux : ...e.oo.oos Portland's share of the $5.000,000 Jo be raised by taxation is at least $3,000,000.

'i ' i It iflay be lawful to levy taxes to pro mote and maintain fairs, expositions and other unnecessary activities, but is It wise ,or jorudent course.' to follow? At best th benefits of the fair are debat.. able and speculative.

Is this precedent one . the proponents of -the fair desire to be followed generally Co ercion as a means of securing an end is doubtful policy. p - . " - - ' - -" . ' We suggest that consideration be giv en to the stem fact that 'the power to tax involves the power to destroy." ; . - What we need, not what we: want, should be the baais of tar levies. - "We, shaft get back .to - sound tax basis and a sound income basis when we have asked ourselveslaborer. ft'arw professional man and capitalist. Alike Sot what we can spend, if even moder ate Indulgence in luxuries and leakage and waste are granted but what we can save and-do without So-far there has not been anywhere an honest facing or the facts." r - - 'V-- '- TAX DECLARED 1.ABGE .The public is again told that. the tax Is a trifling matter to each taxpayer This excuse has been , worn threadbare in its use-to justify extravagant taxa tion and nothing indicates more strongly the weakness of the cause than that it la found necessary to use it. It seems to be assumed that any law of econom ics, taxation or good government may be violated with Impunity If .the people can bo led to believe that either the offense or the tax is not great. This "bfng little-is a classic excuse. We call atten tion to what Solon of Athens said about 2500 ears ago In discussing taxation, and which Is as true now as it was then. He said, in effect, thati . ' . .""Those at the bottom pay out of their necessiOea A little Wer up they pay out of the comforts, and sUU higher Up they pay out of their luxuries. . 1 What is forgotten is that it .to M toe small Uxes added together that make UDoibtlessto some an Increased J" of but litUe importance, as It .to P" on to others, but to many it Is Jurden hard to carry and deprives theni 1 not only of comforts, but Also of pleasures they are enUtled to. , The following statement will give an idea of how 'kittle taxes" grow . 1B8T WE FOEOET . i Tha 1 tax burden to now In many case taxpayers are unabl to pay the taxes on their property.
