t. HP 'vW: ! Editor-of Oregon Voter Tells . Chamber of- Commerce of Law's Evils V ' BJg investors will not come to! f states in which there are income tax laws like that' of Oregon, -hence the Dennis resolution which .proposes to abolish all inheritance aucl Income taxes until' 1940, -is necesary if Oregon is to have the industrial development it desires, C. C. Chapman,. editor of the Ore gon Voter contended in a speech at the Salem chamber of com merce luncheon yesterday. Wisconsin, which has an income tax law similar to the one desired for Oregon, is losing many of its big payrolls and big corporations since the law was passed, he in timated. It has put on surtaxes whenever it wants money and thus hit the big incomes harder' and haxder. "I'd hate to say how many mil lions of dollars worth of invest ments are being kept out of Ore gon because the investors fear the income tax," said Mr. Chapman. "'My information on that subject is merely verbal. But I have plenty of documentary informa tion that proves fully and com pletely thatcapital is.afraid of a state that has an .income .tax like Oregon's." . Tn two income tax bills pro posed for Oregon, which, wfli be put to the ballot this fail, are the Graqseblll and .the offset bill. The Grange bill is admirably suit ed -for an Income tax, if we are to have such a tax, Mr. Chapman believes. - It will raise about $3,000,000 of revenue annually, and employs the graduated tax system, which is generally considered the best . oneT Exemptions nnder this bill are high to avoid antagonizing people of low income. In administrative features the bill is good, thinks Mr. Chapman. It is modelled after the Wiscon sin law, with the added benefit or Oregon's experience. The offset bill is identical with this one except that it has the property tax as an offset, Mr. Chapman stated. In the Grange bill the property tax is deductible from the taxable income, while in the offset bill it is not deductable, making the taxable income some Chat higher. Instead of being deducted from te taxable income, the property lax-is applied as an offset to the Simple Mixture Makes Stomach Feel Fine Simple buckthorn bark, glycer ine, etc. as mixed In Adlerika, often helps stomach trouble in TEN minutes by removing GAS.

Therefore the only tax paid is the -Income tax minus the property tax. Revenue under this bill is estimated by Mr, Chapman at be tween $450,000 and, $500,000. Other estimates agree with his, he stated. The machinery necessary for collecting and determining tax on Incomes will not pay with such a small revenue, Mr. Chapman be lieves, and he does not think this. bill Is worthy of .consideration.

Besides winning the silver loving cup offered for the grand champion Jersey cow at the Silverton Community fair, M. G. Gunderson carried away six other prizes in the stock show. Four of these were firsts, wnile the other two were seconds. E. O. Lee was a runner up on Mr. Gunderson in the Jersey class, Mr. Loe winning four firsts with no . seconds or thirds. The Silverton fair, which was concluded Saturday night, was much larger and, according to gate receipts, more successful than either -of the previous two. A great deal of attention had been given to the farm exhibits which were displayed' in the armory bal cony. Evan's. Valley carried away first prize in the community farm exhibits while Valley View rated second. Roy Skaife won first, with John Rheinhart' second, and C. Whitlock, third in the individual farm exhibits. The apple display was partic ularly attractive, causing many fair visitors to remark that "Hood River apples had nothing on those of Silverton." Henry Torvend and G. H. Ottoway were winners of a number of apple prizes. Silverton, as a community, has always been interested infill that has historical vf.ue.

() $1000 ASKED TO AID 70jp0 TQRNAD0 VICTIMS (Continued from pag. 1) Ida came today from the nation's capital. President Coolidge led the move for relief by formally asking the American people to contribute to a fund to aid those who had gone through "an overwhelming disaster." He promised such assistance as was within the means of the gov ernment, and following his lead, the members of the cabinet whose departments were In position to offer help formally placed their resources at the command of those in charge of rehabilitation work. The Red Cross was active early and the first response to the president's call was a contribu tion of 3100,000 from the nation al . headquarters of the organiza tion. Whatever fund is donated, the organization will go into ac tual work and none will be used for administrative purposes. President Coolidge asked that cbntributions in response to his appeal be made through the Red Cross headquarters here or through local Red Cross chapters. Many of these chapters already have relief workers on the scene, or on the way, and national head quarters has ordered its experts to the scene. A coast guard fleet was sent to Florida waters to participate in the rescue work. It carried a de tachment of marines and a quan tity of supplies. The war depart ment promised to do everything within its power in the way of furnishing material, food supplies and other necessities. CHICAGO, Sept. 20. (AP).
