STANDS ON
FAIR INCOME TAX
BE,-OR Hi
Ideals K. Beaa, speaker of the bouse,
who l In Portland with his promised
income tax bill in his pocket ready for
introduction in the hoaae on Monday
next. - is against the 1915 exposition,
against the submission of any financing
proposition . to .the, people, against the
whole thing, lock stock and barrel un
less the show la to be financed by aa
Income tax and no farther general prop
erty tax burden bo put upon the people.
Mr. Bean has his Income tax bill' all
worked out except some minor and incidental-phases
ot It. What it contains
be la not yet ready to divulge other
than it pais the entire burden of financing-
the exposition upon the Income earn
ers of the state.! It is framed to take
care of the entire -cost of the fair, Port-
J land tax, state tax, private pumcripiHra
N : and alt r-,.'i. J "
8TATSTAX OPPOSED
"I am under ho mandate," Speaker
Bean said at the Imperial today. "I be
lieve the exposition would be beneficial
w . u iiw iuu mm m .nwii fw
S favor of producing it at the expense of
any additional property tax levied
against the taxpayers of the state. I
will not vote for any proposal to fix
such a property tax upon the state and
1 will not vote to submit such a propo
sition to the voters of the state. I be
lieve It would be most unwise and unfor
tunate for the best Interests of Multno
mah county and of, Portland if a fjnahc-
1ns- nlan were to be submitted to tne vot
ers of the whole state and fastened upon
the taxpayers of all the state, against
the opposition of the upstate vote, by a
; bir favorable majority hi Multnomah
county. Knowing the sentiment of my
. district as I do, I would not vote to suo-
ij . Ject them to such a situation."
lt FaTOIlS SHORT SESSION
?! f The speaker also holds that the spe
ll' ' cial session should be a short one.
if, aider ation of business down to the two
definite propositions outlined ny me
s-overnor." he said, "to the consideration
of the exposition measure and the road
protection question.
"Personally," he continued, "I am In
favor of taking- the road plan outlined
by the special committee appointed by
the governor and putting it into effect.
': It may be that the legislature may find
ii; some changes In this more to their 11k-
; " Ing. bat I do not believe this is the
time for continued ana long drawn out
public hearings and discussions. I am
In favor of the -legislature giving these
two big subjects its best thought, and
acting speedily upon its best judgment.'

mainder of the week and will go to Sa

U. S, Headed for 1
Bolshevism, Says
Farmer of Union
The United , States is approaching a
state of Bolshevism similar to that
which exists in Russia ; along more
subtle lines, perhaps, but .with certainty.
This was the gist of a statement by
Walter B. Pierce of Union. Or, to mem
bers of the Portland Realty board in
luncheon today at the Multnomah hotel.
"We farmers are getting less for our
wheat now than we did S? years ago
when I began farming. We are also
getting less for cattle than we have for
25 years. Where we used to pay freight
rate of $60 a car we now pay iizu. in
Union .county we had about an 1800,000
wheat crop last year. The state taxes
on the land on which we raised this
wheat amounted to $212,000."
In recommending; measures for the re
lief of the .farmer. Pierce suggested that
larger income taxes take the place of
high real estate taxes. ,
