The oth- SOLUTION OF PROBLEM ;e' group of miscellaneous i (CoBtlBBtd front ,pf 1.) . jthe general fund and the divert ing of an equivalent sum from the highway fund to market road projects. , In regard to the first four t methods be called attention to the , fact that he would not condemn them as methods of raising rev enue! tor the time being; but he wanted some more permanent alt hod worked out. The gover- ' Tif, 'believed that the Intangible tax did not meet the need for Im mediate Increased revenues and would fall within the six jper cent limitation.' ? . v; :v ; . After, reviewing; - the various bills proposed for alleviating the tax tituatlon he came to the heart ct his message; I believe an ln com tax : law can be drafted whJch 'will be free from discrimi natory, aspects and free from those appe&Lt to pre ad Ice of 'class which have attended some other Tlie, Income tax, which Gover nor Patterson recommended, would be of a graduated nature and tiate a low rate.; It would not be the Intention that its revenue place the state on a strictly cash basis at once, but when that Is accomplished It could be used as means for reducing: the general property tax. - Realizing that such a program must be submitted to the 1poopt ;the governor recom mended that at the same ' time provisions be made to llft.it out of the scope of the six per cent limitation'. The special message Jn fall fol lows: ' - Gentlemen of the State Senate and'lone of Representatives: Tou are convened In Joint ses sion today pursuant ta my request v directed to the president of the Senate and the' Speaker of the House of Representatives that you be so assembled. .My wish that I be accorded the courtesy of a hear ing by, this body was prompted by a desire to place before you, In ae- Icofdance with utterance made in my Inaugural message, observa I tions which I have assembled con- cerntng tax measures which have I jbeen presented for your conslder- have arrived after thorough and conscientious scrutiny of every aspect of such proposed legisla tion.! ! -V;-"-t:" I am Informed by the Ways and Means Committees that not withstanding their careful consid eratlpn, and even relentless parr !ng. tof appropriations proposed In the budget expenditures for con ducting the varied governmental activities of Oregon for the ensu ing bienalum will exceed the rev enues at present anticipated from all sourcei by approximately three million dollars. This estimate, moreover. Is reached by eliminat ing virtually all bulldla enW f rises,' except those necessary to I Vy out the expressed desire-of L.J . people for A a new'normal school and a tuberculosis sanitar ium in Eastern Oregon. - ' The condition thus outlined is one that you, as, members of this legislature,' hate,: no doubt, fore seen.i and I believe it has given you the same deep concern that it has given Bfc-'-H; i."? - It lis known to the members of vour bodv that this unsatisfactory V condition has been brought about f by i a combination of , circum f stance, and policies, none - of s lyhich -was directly intended " to w reproduce such a dire results' We h&vej witnessed the defeat by tne people of measures devised to add to the revenue of the state at the same time that other measures Increasing-Hhe expenditures of the state t were : approved by the peo ple. .( v-;, The people have also put cer tain limitations on the power of the legislature to increase and regulate taxation. " .? : k -fi- , . An! amendment to the constitu tion adopted not many years a so forbids the legislature to attach an emergency clause to any ' bill regulating taxation. Another , amendment prohibits any tax levying authority from.ln creasing the revenues raised by taxation in any one"year by more than; six per cent over the reve nues raised by taxation in the preceding year. The! effect of the first named amendment is that no matter bow pressing the emergency may be for a new regulation of taxes, the law designated to meet the emer gency must await a lapse of 90 days before It becomes effective. It is not a criticism of our peo- C-jpie to say that no . element ' or group thereof rejoices over an In- f crease in . taxes applying to that 'particular group or element. :f Because of the present high lev el 01 taxes levied lor state ana lo cal purposes, - there is plausible argument to be . found wby any new or special tax should not be" imposed upon a particular class of property or upon the right of any profitable activity to do business. It Is still fresh In our recollec tions that new tax revenue, bills were adopted .by the preceding legislature, were halted in their application by nse of -the referen dum and were defeated by the people in the next ensuing general election - . - . . - ' As for the six per cent limita tion amendment to the constitu tion. Its Inhibitions may apply to revenues that may be provid- resort to new taxation. In Words, thft timtrf Iya Atf. V of. $3,000,000 for the ensuing imnlum takes Into account the i maximum tax levy for state pur I Poses possible under this provision lot the constitution. - I call your Attention at this time to the furth er fact that under this provision of ; the state constitution , the six Pr cent limitation on increase in revenues may be exceeded when such excess is antiroved fcv vote, of the people, and does cot apply to taxes levied to pay bond ed indebtedness or Interest there- 57 .

Including fees, licenses,; excises, and the like. It baa been assumed and I believe correctly that measures regulating : mis- cellaneaus revenues are not re stricted or limited by the two pro visions of the constitution which I have cited. But." in considering new possi-; ble, sources of revenue, the ques tion always arises as to whether they are in fact regulations of tax ation, as meant by ; the eonstitu tlonal restriction on the use of the emergency clause, and . likewise whether their revenues would fall within the six per cent limitation. If defined as tax measures, they offer qo relief from the prospec tive deficit, for tax- revenues may not, as I have said, be increased beyond the amount already levied or anticipated for the ensuing two years. . They would serve only to shift taxes in part from one source to another. ' . To retire the deficit by the pro cess, of Increasing, miscellaneous revenues means that not one but several new i subjects V must . be tapped, , or f the revenues from present miscellaneous sources be increased. It Is, I am convinced, not feasible to impose, the entire burden of the deficit upon a sin gle business, 'upon a single indus trial or professional group, or up on any single activity. To meet our difficulty by this method re quires that a group of companion measures be adopted. : They must all withsund the scrutiny of th constitution as to ; whether they come within 1 its restrictions on taxation: they must not be unduly depressive on business or indus try; they must not be discrimina tory as to persons, firms or cor porations engaged in the same line of business or manufacture; and they must not be eppressive - In point of administration, either up on the state or upon the subject taxed.:--: iMt i'U'.:: ri. - It is possible, ' it we consider only the matter of revenue to be derived, , to devise a' set of com panion laws which will, by careful estimate. - provide - the additional Lmoney of which the state is in need. - But I know of no group of revenue. measures which will pro vide the necessary money and still meet the other 'requirements which (1 have ; enumerated. And even if ';a series of revenue mea sures t which ' met these require ments could be devised, I doubt that this legislature would have the moraf right to force tbem Into immediate effect by use of ; the emergency clause, or : that, - as a matter of practical legislation, an emergency could be declared In the face of the combined opposi tion that these bills would arouse among those who would be called upon to pay. And without: "the emergency . clause, , appeals to the referendum would certainly fol low, with a result that cannot be foreseen. -r , , ' ; In the . category of miscellane ous reveaie : measures suggested fersaeeMnfr? Tthteeiergency are the following: ; . ' An Impost on tberfee and li censes collected, by certain state boards and commissions. . - J-, A : corporation franchise tax measured by a levy upon what It termed corporate excess. ' A tax on moving pictures. - A. tax on so-called luxuries. " A withdrawal ? of intangibles from .the scope : of . the general property, tax and the. application of'a special levy thereon. . . 1 v The use of the market road tax tor general fund purposes, and di version' of an . equivalent, amount from the highway fund to market road projects. - -':'M''-: "-, X, I commend to your attention the justice of a requirement that the state boards and commissions which are . supported by fees and licenses Imposed under authority of the state shall pay to the state the overhead costs created by the existence and (functioning of these boards and commissions. I rec ommend the adoption of this mea sure, not essentially as a. revenue device, but as a fair recognition of the principle that these , boards and commissions should, in truth, be "selfi sustaining,"' In that regard.--! suggest payment to the general fund as a permanent prac tice" of only 'such percentage n of fees and commissions as shall re Im burse the state for the expenses caused by the exercise of Its du ties as sponsor for and guardian of: the affairs of these bodies, ex cept that I shall hereafter in this message qualify the CJ foregoing recommendation as a temporary expedient.-;- -ci- Vkr.s -s ; The corporate, excess, tax, the tax on moving pictures and the tax on luxuries, do not fit. into a well ordered,! permanent - system of taxationrsuch aa we should try to achieve In Oregon. The corporate excess tax Is, In the final analysis, an -income tax Imposed upon one class, to the ex clusion of all other , classes ; If strictly administered, its cost- of application would be "very large, and its annoyance and cost to the subjects faxed would be similar to the annoyance and costs occasion ed them by the federal excess pro fits tax, now repealed. - -.v Taxes "on amusements and, lux uries have been imposed by the federal - authority only as emer gency .means, of raising War reve nues. They are not adapted, as I have said, to a well ordered sys tem of taxation, and have, under the federal system, justly acquired the opprobrious - name of "nui sance" taxes. . As regards these three , mea sures, I wish to be understood as not condemning them outright as temporary devices for raising pub-' He revenues for which there ia a dire and immediate need. In the absence of more permanent meth ods and more equitable methods of providing funds. It may be nec essary to adopt; one or more bt them. My hope Is that" we can agree upon a more permanent and equitable method of alleviating the state's financial condition. . The intangibles tax is an indir ect method of applying an Income tax to that class of property. It operation the tendency is for rev enue derived from that source to fall off for fhe first few years from the sums that were raised by applying the general property tax to Intangibles, but thereafter to show a yearly increase under intelligent administration, until the proceeds greatly exceed the proceeds.: derived -by the older method. The intangibles - tax, therefore, does not meet the need for immediate increased revenues, whatever may be its other merits, and moreover . would fall within the six per cent limitation.' - . The proposal .that the market road tax be diverted to the general fund and market roads 'be built out of general highway funds is a circuitous method of avoiding the six per cent limitation. If such, a plan were, to have favor, I see no reason why It should not be ap proached directly. A flat division of highway funds for general fund purposes would produce the same results. But at best it-would be a temporary , way out of the pres ent difficulty. If we provide by temporary expedient for the pres ent deficit, there is the same pro blem td meet two years hence. This is apart from the restrictive effect the measure would have upon the general road program. ; There" is, in fsct, another cir cuitous method of avoiding the six per" cent limitation.' by Uhe exer cise of which , the burden of the deficit would . fall upon general property. The six per cent limi tation does not apply to tax reve nues raised for the payment of principal of "or interest on state bonds. , ?;;-- ; .t - , , ..The. principal and . Interest of the major part of .'the highway bonds outstanding are paid put of moneys derived from automobile licenses and gasoline tax. I be lieve there would be no legal ob stacle to' a requirement that the state fund transfer to the general fund $1,500,000 a year, and for the State Tax commission at Its next meeting to increase the gen eral property tax by an equivalent sum to be used in retirement of' state highway bond principal and payment -of interest thereon. - I look Upon this device as un desirable because of the increased tax obligation thereby imposed upon some classes of general pro perty, and particularly upon agri cultural lands which are now al most, if not quite, at the limit of their ability to pay. I suggest to you, however, that a drastic situ ation sometimes calls for drastic remedies. It may be a sound pol icy for a commonwealth to go In to debt for permanent improve ments, but it is unsound and dis astrous for a state to run largely into debt for current running ex penses." I believe yon will all agree that the general property tax must not be Increased except as a last resort. . But the general property ; tax 13 -v now a imajor source of ; state ; revenue. ' , If, through pride of opinion, or refu sal, to accept sacrifices, we divide Into factions and through that di vision produce no form of relief, the . necessity that' government shall continue makes unavoidable the addition of greater loads upon the . revenue sources that ' ' have once: been established and which we have failed to assist in their plight. I am coming to this legislature in the hope that it will. In its able counsel and assistance, help . me to avoid the application of a dras tic remedy- one which could vir tually all ' be applied by exercise of. administrative power. f : 1 have sought diligently for some plan' of taxation which wll spread the needs of the present emergency .: equitably among all classes who have: ability to . pay. I am, convinced, that such a plan Is the only plan that ought on merit to be considered. I have explained to you -the obstacles in the v way - of adopting any fair system of Increasing miscellane ous revenues; : and ; I have ex plained to you n my ' opposition, which I believe 1'lsjyours to the singling out "of general property for. Increased taxation. Every avenue I nave approached has fin ally,1 by devious courses, led back to one plan or scheme which meets the situation. I present It with reluctance, for the people of Ore gon have several times expressed their views on this form of ; taxa tion and on only one occasion, and then by a majority of! less than one thousand, approved! it, only to reverse their will at the first op portunity offered. V. --.. I would remind you that in the election last November there was presented to the people an amend ment to' the constitution declaring it to be the policy of Oregon that no income tax should be adopted by this state for 15 years, i That amendment was overwhelmingly defeated. I 'J believe : Jt, was de feated because the people of Ore gon feared that I an emergency arise within 15 years which would involve the state In unpleasant consequences If this form of. tax ation were precluded from consideration,'-, VJU ' j-k: i.? 7! i-; i ' I come to you with the convic tion, that the emergency which, the people of this state foresaw might arise, : has ; now arisen. :f I bel ieve an income tax law can be drafted which will be free from discrim inatory ; aspects.? and : free from those appeals to prejudice of class against class which have attended some other efforts to apply this form of tax. It Is my conviction that an income tax properly drawn will.- produce ,-' revenues sufficient to meet the oresent emergency, and yet be so Ught in Its applica tion that: capital v or Industry will not be reluctant4 to come to this state. ? It is my observation that the antipathy of new capital and Industry to tM income tax is not to the payment of a moderate In come tax, but to an apprehension test venturesome and extravagant policies, based on the false assumption that income tax money is easy, money,' will gradually en croach upon and increase the in come tax until it becomes unbear able, --'-y - " -' In this connection it. may be pointed out ttat . in one of the constitutional provisions to which I ' have . fcert-'inbefore r? :rr- , tiers Ij a strc::j i t Helen Bolton Delighted iWith Reception on Tours Thinks (Gentlemen Prefer Blendes, Touching Stray Lock Says, Td Have to Say They Do In Self Defense, Wonlda'tl?" ! t T "By FLORENCE CARTVVRIGHT ; Helen Bolton, star pf the Cradle Snatchers, which played last night at the Elsinore Theatre, sat in the. lobby of her hotel, just after dinner, entirely surrounded but certainly not dominated by legislators. While senators expounded on bills and measures in thundering voices, Miss Bolton, in her well placed contralto, talked of the receptivity ; of small city audiences. !j "" ,; "They're marvelous," she. said. ;f'We , expect a certain amount of cooperation from our audiences n large cities. xney are seasoned piay goers and See - dozens of productions every season.

If the legislature shall, be pleased to- grant T certain ; other measures which I recommend, 1 1 am confident that this system. wilt pull the state out of its financial dilema within a reasonable time and that this will be done without undue hardship to any class of the peoole or any class of property The plan assumes a careful su pervision of state expenditures which will be attained-by the cre ation of a state budget official with direct 'responsibility placed : upon . the Governor. Another measure providing for. expert state supervision of local assessments should facilitate ' the reform i of assessments until a much more equitable distribution of the tax load than at present prevails has been accomplished. I assure the legislature again! that I have given ray best thought to. this, problem and that I have Invited and received the disinter ested counsel of many persons of sound ' Judgment. I ; repeat that the ; principal recommendation I have made has been decided upon with considerable : reluctance In view of the oft expressed contrary opinion of. the people. But I am confident that the people them selves s will as readily, sense the serious nature of -the emergency which confronts us as you and I. and will be found as ready as "you and I to sacrifice previously con ceived opinion and surrender pro portionately, of their means that the good financial narae of Cre ron ar.3 the prepress c! cur fzb lls isUtiUwia tlall be preserved., "What chance do you think the West has for a theatrical future as long Ss the stage is centralized Jn Newark?" !';: ' ; ; ; . ; ' But It Isn't centralized in New York;, insisted Miss Bolton smil ingly.
