such' duplication is necessary, or
whether the two referendum can
be consolidated in one ' measure.

that, about 13000 will be saved

state to adopt a state Income , tax.'
"Prom., the standpoint of Ore
gon getting lt share of the new.
money that comes to the' Pacific
coast for Investment, ; the silliest
thing we could do won Id be to en
act a tax that would dscriraiuate
against the investment! of money
In Oregon. 1 , . . i ' , ,
"Why. punish our own state?
v , Millions Involied ;
"The enactment of the state in
come tax law is a threat of pun-'
Ishment to capital' that is seeking
investment in Oregon. This threat
has already kept millions of dol
lars out of Oregon,: while Califor
nia and Washington are prosper
ing from a flood of newly invest
ed capital. ; lf this threat keeps
millions out of Oregon, what will
happen if we adopt the Inconie
tax law?
"We have ne Income tax, law
now the federal. The state in
come tax law passed by the. last
legislature. If. fdopted by the peo
ple in lovemlUr, mean? another
income tax law. Oregon would
then be the; only Pacific coast
state to impose a state income tav
on top of the federal income tax
we already have,
"How would you like to have
to file with the state tax officers
a " sworn copy ; of your confiden
tial federal Income tax return, -re
veaung everytning about your
business? That is what you 'will
have to do if the people approve.
by their votes In November, the
state income tax law.
Defects, in Taw Seen
"But even If : we are determined
to commit the economic crime of
adding another Income tax to the
one already paid in Oregon, why
have a law that is full of defects,
inequalities and downright: in
justices, as the law passed by the
last legislature? . j
"How would you like to have
a law which allows Oregon corpor
ations and their owners to escape
the payment of one year's income
taxes? That is what Is provided
In Oregon's income tax law passed
by the last legislature.
"What do wou think of aflaw
that gives the owners of the vast
timber forests of Oregon an un
due advantage in the payment of
taxes? " Do you know that there Is
a joker ' in this state Income tax
law which permits owners of tim
ber to escape paying income tax
on their logs, cut from their land,
until such time as the selling prtte
of the logs equals the January I.
1923, value , of the timber and
then they; would have to pay on
Income tax only on the excess over
that value?. ; ' -m -;;rv,
- Discrimination Seen
"The farmer must pay on the
wneat that he grows and pay
every year. Dat the timber owner
can market hi3 crop of logs right
np to the value of his timber)
lands as of January I, 1923. with-J
nt paying a' dollar of income tax
n money receivea irom me.saw
f bis togs, f This means hat every
ody else who pays an income tax
n urefron must pay not oniy nis
wn income tax but the timber
wncr's proportion of the Income
lax. "' ;j . . j
"When the last legislature was
making Lhi.4 tax law, the state cap
itol was full of highly paid lawy
ers and lobbyists, who were 4ook
ng after the interests ' of those
i ndividnals and corporations who
hould pay 1 an income tax.: These
awycrs f and lobbyists saw to it
hat what was - originally a : good
Jill ws changed' and amended in
such a way' that ' their Interests
were absolutely protected. "That
is how the jokers In this law
Originated and it is these jokers
which make the present law so
objectionable in comparison with
the income tax laws enacted In
Other states. -
Act Called Patchwork
"The Income tax law that we
are going to. vote for or against
at the next election is a patch
work from start to finish. -The
legislature v meant well, but
shrewd men were there to protect
special interests and they did a
good job of it, - V .
j "Many, of those who are; sup
porting, this state Income tax
measure are doing so because in
it they see an opportunity, to get
money voted for their own , pot
purposes. We were told tha$ vot'
tng the millage taxes would bring
about a reduction of legislative
appropriations. Did it do so? "We
got the new . millage taxe3, but
there is no record that any of the
old taxes ( were reduced. It will
be the same thing with the in
come tax. : ; ,
It is the farmers, the workers.
the- men with a modest business.
and the men with a modest .in
come, who are going - to suffer
most heavily If this income tax
law is passed by the people at the
November election,", . .

Dr. R. "Vint Ellis,; formerly of
Salem, who has beei practicing
medicine and surgery up, in Alas
ka for the j past seven1 ? years, re
cently had j an interesting experi
ence In wholesale surgery.
His bomefis at Ketchikan, where
he ha3 built up a wide! reputation
as a surgeon. The natives out at
Prince of Wales" Island-have -been
clamoring for htm to come and do
a lot of, surgical work; but it was
too far, and the conditions were;
too. indefinite I for him to make
the tHp even as an accoramoda-i
tlon. ; But I finally the i pooled to-i
get her all the adenoids, . enlarged
tonsils, appendicitis, broken legs
and other surgical, cases of the
community, and hired- the doctor
and hi.i crew for $500 to come and!
give them a day Of snrgery.
,He. gathered nb a medical as-f
sistant and ; three - expert nurses,;
and they chartered a boat for the
trip. In a day and a half they
operated on 7 cases,' ranging alTj
the way up and down the: human;
anatomy. The . loesls totok ' the
patients off the nurse crew's
hands as fast as they were turned
oyer for home and hospital treat j
ment, and apparently-almost ; the
whole community got i In on. the
contract.,-1 -i - (.;-:.".'
The trip was. made on the coas
guard cutter Smithy 1 Most-of the
operations: were of minor, nature;
such as the removal; of. adenoids
and enlarged tonsils '
The. Ketchikan Chronicle tells
of one little red-haired - native
girl who Insisted on ibutting in?
aneaa or her turn for her beloved
operation, i Seeing some of th
leaders being dressed In their
white operating robeai, she slipped
out of the: line, for a ew minutes;
and Iheh she dashed Into the front
rank clad only a a. Blghtle" 'and
a' pair of rubber . boots, all ready
to-be carved up by the imported
whiter doctor who. was there to
make everybody well. One man
brought; a family of 14 children.
The last one he couldn't call by
name. ; ?'But I'll ask his mother,"
he eaidjand he did.
Dr. Ellis is a son of Dr. G. V.
Ellis, for the past 15 years a resi
dent , of ! Salem, i The young doctor
was prominent in the musical cir
cles of Salem, was for four years
a member of the Willamette uni
versity male quartet. - and wrote a
number j of the songs in-the .Wil
