BAILEY TELLS STATE NEEDS Taxation Adjustment is one Essential Says Demo cratic Candidate Discussing the development of Oregon, Edward F. Bailey, demo cratic candidate for governor, op ening the fall sessions of the chamber of commerce with aa ad dress here Monday noon. One L4rondredand ten chamber mem bers were out to greet saiiey ana to start the tall work of the or ganization. Adjustment of Oregon's taxa tion system and improvement of transportation were stressed by Bailey as imperative to Oregon's delayed progress. "I favor an income tax. Re search has shown that 75 per cent of the costs of government in Oregon are being bora' by peo ple who earn' 25 per cent of the Income. Right here in Salem, state tax investigation showed 29 i-per cent of the Income from an office building went for taxes and I consider this proportion exhor bitant," Bailey averred. In opening his address Bailey said Oregon had every vital neces sity tor a great state. Improved distribution of the cost of goT ernment and an increased spirit of goodwill in the state, with a lessening of sectional provincial ism among varied areas of Ore gon, are needed for development. Bailey declared. "I have said right In Portland that that city should spend more of its money upbuilding the en tire stale if it sought progress for Itself," Mr. Bailey stated. "I do feel that every farm, every busi ness which is doing well In the up-state reflects to the Interest of the metropolis." In his introductory remarks Bailey poked fun at the other candidates, not mentioning them by names. He alluded to Meier's reported offer of donating the four years' salary to the state as "political bargain merchandise" while he claimed Metschan was offered "the damaged goods of re publicanism at the same high prices."
