EIGHTIETH YEAR
. Salem, Oregon, Friday Morning, November 7, 1930
No. 193
LAW CALLS FOR
INCOME TM Of!
1 929 EARNINGS
Change may be Sought as
Legislature Meets to
Make 1930 Start
Collection in Remainder of
This Year Impossible,
Officials' View
By C. A. SPRAGUB
As a result of the adoption of
the Income tax at Tuesday's elec
tion the people of Oregon may be
called on to pay an income tax
on their 1929 incomes. The law
was passed by the legislature in
1929 and Its operation was held
tip because of the referendum fil
ed against It. The people haying
Toted in the affirmative the law
goes Immediately Into effect. The
law contains this provision:
"Such tax shall first be levied,
collected and paid In the year
1939 and with respect to the net
Income received during the calen
dar year . . . 1929."
Interpreted literally this means
that the income tax on IS 29 in
comes of Oregon residents will
hare to be collected during the
remaining part of 1930. a scant
two -months period.- Few people
have made any plans' to pay this
. Income tax. The question Is wheth
er the filing of the referendum
and holding up of the operation
of the law, serves as a stay of one
year, making It applicable to 1930
incomea and payable In 1931: or
whether the literal interpretation
is to be followed and tax collected
on the 1929 Incomes.
Inquiry at "the state tax com
mission disclosed the fact that they
were at sea on the point and would
ask the attorney general for his
opinion.
Property Tax
Waa Levied
This is true, that since the in
' come tax was held up by referend
um, the state board of equaliza
tion In fixing the property tax levy,
took no account of recepits from
an income tax and accordingly
collected from general property
the amount which would other
wise have been contributed by an
income tax. On the other hand, it
levied and collected and allowed
for the Intangibles tax, which now
has been declared unconstitutional
in its present form.
In case the attoraey general
holds that the income tax was
postponed a year by virtue of the
referendum, there will probably
be no objection; but an attempt
to collect the tax on 1929 Incomes
"in 1930" would meet with rather
strenuous objection, it Is anticipat
ed. In that event the legislature
might cure the matter by a spe
cial session making the effective
date for an Income lax the 1930
Incomes. Or If the matter were de
layed long enough the regular ses
sion could cure it. Even if the at
torney general held the 1929 date
did iiold, there would have to be
about 90 days allowed for prepar
ing and filing returns which would
make it fall within the time the
legislature met, giving that body
time to alter the year for the Ini
tial Income tax it it chose.
I Income Tax
Constitutional?
The question has been raised as
to whether the income tax would
not be declared unconstitutional
because It applies only to individ
uals and not to corporations,
which was the ground for declar
ing unconstitutional the Intang
ibles tax. However, In that case
