RAYMOND I Remember the Location : "Auto Wheel Specialist" 133 N. Fifth at Hoyt Bdwy. 1296 A"Gold Candidate USl?AiNfD 'PULC-i" FOR PORTLAND". During; my 25 years as a lPort land business man, I've earnestly endeavored to be considerate and fair with everyone. , i If elected I will employ the same policies in serving the City. CHAS. S HACKER ; FOR . i Reduced I r How YburlTaxesCSeii One great difficulty today is that one half the property of Oregon is -exempt from 'taxation, the timber in the forest .reserves being s conspicuous example. The only in come from the Reserves is the rentals from v stockmen for grazing, of! which, 65 per cent goes into the federal treasury, i hold ihat, since no tax is derived from this vast body of timber, all the rentals from grazing priv ileges in the forest reserves should go into the treasury of Oregon-to compensate for the vast body of taxable property held by the federal' government out of taxation. , As governor I would, use the prestige of the office in a1 movement with other governors and delegations in congress to brine this tbont. This change would produce about 13 50,000 a year new revenue, thereby les sening to that amount .the burden on prop-' '.erty now taxed. FOR SEVERANCE TAX Practically one-third of the standing tim ber in the state of Oregon is in the forest reserves and pays no .tax. Under the present law. this, timber wilt be cut off, leaving blackened stumps of untaxable property, and be .snipped 0t of Oregon without paying a dollar of tax to the state. Not only is Oregon being made poorer by the removal of this timber, but the-natural beauty and scenery of the state is being marred. A -severance tax collected as this timber is cut .and shipped would be a large source of revenue. A big body of such timber is bow contracted by the ' federal government to people from distant estates, and it will1 be removed without paying any tax unless a severance tax is at once imposed. As gov ernor I would do all in my power to levy such a tax on all timber taken from the forest "reserves. ,. While one-ha!Tof the property of Oregon is exempt from taxation, much of the other half is paying little or. no .tax because it is invested in shares of stock, bonds and prop- , erty hidden away from the assessor. This leaves but a part of the taxable property to bear the entire cost of government. This property which bears the terrific burden consists of farms, cattle, fiorses, city build ings and homes. , DIRECT TAXES HIGH In 1921 there was rajsed by direct taxa tion in this state $493,0S, an average df almost 9V4mHls on the property taxed. This is the highest direct property tax levied in the United States for state purposes. It con stitutes nearly one half of most of the farm ers taxes and in the city It often means; one fourth of the entire tax. ; C In Minnesota in 1920 the direct property tax for state purposes was St, 667428, which is about one-sixth of what Oregon property owners were called upon to pay for state purposes, and yet the assessed value Of tax able property in Minnesota is two and a half times that of Oregon. Minnesota raised the balance of her state revenue from indirect sources, viz. A 5 per cent gross earnings tax from public service corporations and a 25 cents per ton tax upon iron ore mined in ithe state. , , ' California in 1921 raised 33, 768,884 for state purposes. This money was all raised from indirect, sources, viz.: . From fees and frogs a- gross earnings tax upon public serv- ice; corporations, farmers ands property, owners in California were not called upon to pay! direct any of this 133,768,884. Wisconsin in 1921 raised by direct taxa tion only $7,801,454 for state purposes and yet? the assessed value of taxable property in Wisconsin Is four times that of Oregon. The balance of her state expenses was raised by i fees and "by taxes on net incomes.,; (n Oregon we can relieve the property owners by collecting a large ?p art of the cost of I state government from similar sources, vizi: (1) a tax on net incomes; (2) a severance tax; (3) a tax on gross earnings of public service corporations. 1 favor such a program in this state under the guaran tee that any tax . derived from new sources shall not be used for increased expenditures, but to takt some of the burden off those now bearing more-than their ust share of taxation. . , ' The practices of public utihttes became so intolerable that those t utilities nave to be regulated. A xostly public service commis sion has to be maintained for that purpose. Since the commission has to be maintained fori the regulation of tie public service cor porations, those corporations should them-; selyes be required to pay tbe ' expenses of the commission without burdening farmers, home owners, business! and other enterprise ' with that expense Such a plan would- save , the taxpayers approximately fioo.ooo - year, and 1 favor it. ' . . 1 Oregon is, per capita, the heaviest bonded state in the Union. We are jn the midst of a wild orgy of bond issues. . The thought -seems to be that we can go on issuing bonds regardless of a payday to come. later. There is a possibility of having to levy a further property tax to meet accruing Interest on these enormous bond issues.: A halt should be called In the plastering over. our state of these mortgages on the property and toil of "ourselves and our children, and the state , be returned to a policy of sound and stable finance.1- I stand pledged to such a policy. FOR CONSOLIDATION One of the first things 1 propose to do as governor will be to employ every power ot; the office to consolidate the boards, bu reaus commissions and committees that in terfere with each other' because there are so many of them. Their work overlaps and ! 1 : When I am governor I promise to advocati and demand economy in every department of state government, so tthat taxes will be re duced to the lowest possible point consistent f with good govern ment. To this end I will use tne veto .unsparin tjy. ; .. i duplicates. TherV are to6 mjny ornaments drawing salaries ad fees for doing little or no work- Fewer boards, fewer of iictals and more work by these boards and officials Is the crying need cf the state of Oregon. I pledge myself to the; work ' of correcting this conspicuous waste of the state's money. FAVORS SIMPLIFIED GOVERNMENT . Other states have-systematized and simr plified government by applying to I public business the sanie rules f efficiency and economy used in private; business. lt has not been done in) Ore goa because politicians, payroll -functionaries and hangers-on- have combined to' obsftruct the cutting away of salaries land sinecures. . 1 stand pledged to a policy of simplified government economi cally administered - .' i : We can dispens)e with many automobiles j "now operating at srtate expense.
