Defending the New Taxes
TESTERDAYjwas the fateful 25th of June and all and
JL sundry of the citizens of uregon presumauiy Cuxiii
with the law and the decrees of the tax commission and paid
up on their intangibles and income taxes. There have been
Jnud lamentations coinir ud on' the onus of the intangibles
tax in particular; The poor
the millionaire. j
Tt ia always thus however. When the legislature i meets
and passes a new tax law,. it is bound to pinch somewhere;
and later on when the people find out what it is and go to
pay up then the wailing starts. No tax is popular among
those who pay it, except the gas tax and that , because the
motorist doesn't realize he is paying a tax. Nor is the
present chorus- of dissent a fit
taxes.
- The Statesman feels that
is too high, that 5 is as high as the rate should be. But

comes from securities. It might be advisable, to work the
intangibles item right into the income tax; and perhaps in
time that may be done. Meantime the taxis definitely
reaching a class for the most, part abundantly able to pay
and likewise a class which hitherto may have largely escaped
state taxation, -i' '--.j . -:.
We noted one paper complaining that this intangibles
tax was a sort of surprise tax, that when a person had loan
ed money at & expecting to get that net income he now
finds he only gets about 5Va. ' But that "surprise" tax is
just what the property holder has been suffering from the
past generation. 1 He might invest in a brick; building or a
farm and figure but that it would net him after taxes six,
seven or eight per cent on his money. But a few years later
he discovered a new road district tax, or a new school tax,
or a new city bond tax, or a new school transportation tax.
He could not plead "surprise' because he was laughed at.
The real property owner had no protection from the levy of
! continued new imposts upon his property which has resulted
in confiscation in certain instances. This very hazard of
real property is what forced, or helped force money into
"intangibles".
We shall be disappointed if the effect of the new tax
laws does not work a reversal of this trend and encourage in
vestment in real estate. City and farm property have shown
recessions in values, in part because of reduced incomes but
in considerable degree also due to the heavy taxation of real
property. Now lighten the load on real estate and increase
it on holders of stocks and bonds and there should be greater
favor shown to real estate for investment. This would indeed
help and not injure the state. Too much Oregon money has
gone afield for investment, not enough - has remained at
home to sustain j values for town property, improved -and
unimproved, and country property. 1 ' I
The claim is made that this tax will have no appreciable j
effect on the property taxes. Well it will just to the extent'
' of the amount of money that is collected, and no farther. It
will amount to some two million dollars or more; and will
definitely reduce the amount of the state property tax by
that sum. Those who see no saving on their property tax
for next year are those who have no property tax to pay,
and who ought to be taxed. We need not waste sympathy
,on them. .: . I i
We regret there is a suit impending attacking the on
stitutionality of this tax. The state has labored along under
heavy difficulty for years. The last two legislatures have
worked out this program of taxation, it ought to be given
a fair trial. Rye per cent, even eight per'centJs not going
to wreck any one. Let the law have a fair test and see if its
benefits do not compensate for its burdens; and see if any
defects that appear may not be corrected by legislative
action rather than repeal or
courts. " ' , ;
Welcome
A S HOST to the editors of
Jt. pleased to extend its most cordial greeting to our guests.
In a peculiar way the city of Salem is the possession of the
, whole state, for as the capital city it has a significance to
the remainder of the state which is everywhere appreciated.
Salem is not j ust "our town" ; it is the state's- own city. And
it is we believe, the state's own pride. ; i
From time immemorial the citizens of Salem have labor
ed to make this city attractive, a fit location for the capitol
of a gteat state. These beautiful, wide streets, these spacious
lawns, these magnificent trees, these attractive gardens are
not merely the work of a day or a year, but of decades. They
are jthe result of careful planning and long continued effort
to make this a city beautiful; Salem hopes the editors will
take time to get about the city, view its industries, visit the
State ' institutions, visit in the homes, inspect the gardens.
Salem people will be only too glad to show you the greatest
hospitality possible.
It is quite appropriate too that the president of the
association on this occasion should be Ralph R. Cronise of
the Albany Democrat-Herald. Ralph is a Salem boy, who
grew up here, was educated here,-and who learned the news
paper business in the old Statesman. Salem is pleased now
to see him return for a brief period as head of the editorial
association. 1
The Statesman, which is located just across the street
from the headquarters at the Marion hotel, extends its
greetings and wants the visitors to know that we are holding
"open house" for the remainder of the week, for the full
24 hours a day. -. . )

Rotary International Is meeting; this week In Vienna. As
Rotary has as one ot its principles the cultivation : or International

at this time in Vienna to give to that burdened city the hand of
human fellowship. It they would only pat a few Rotarians from
the various nations on the disarmament commission and leave, the
diplomats and the admirals at home, something might really bo ac
complished in 19X1. . - i. I i"

-By R. J. HENDRICKS
The "Young Democrat"!
Reference was made in this col
umn on Tuesday to the -"Young
Democrat," with a promts to
later give something more of Its
history.
Ralph O. Goer, in his famous
address at the annual meeting ot
1S7S 01 tne Oregon Pioneer as
sociation, giving details of the
1847 covered wagon immigration.
made this reference to it: "When
left Knox county, Illinois, the
democratic committee had a
small wrought-iron cannon, made
by a whig to celebrate the elec
tion of Henry Clay in 1844, and.
when he was beaten, gave it to
the democrats, and they named
It the 'Young Democrat'; and they
gave it to me to bring to Oregon.
It was a real screamer to talk
it could be heard 16 to 20 miles.
and. old mountaineers said that It
we fired that every night after we
camped, Indians would not
trouble us. And I think it was
true, for we adopted that plan, and
had no stealing only when we ne
glected to let her bark."
V V
When Ralph C. Geer. in 1847
settled on the land that became
his donation claim, he built a log
house a few rods west of his later
frame residence, .and down the
hill from the latter. In tact, he
buUt two log houses, with a single
roof covering both, and covering
also a considerable space between.
This served the family until the
frame dwelling was erected, . in
1851, on the sightly place where
it still stands, but rebuilt in sev
eral particulars, especially as to
the fireplaces.
As said on Tuesday, the "Younsr
Democrat" was used there, durina-
all the earlier years, to give the
alarm to the settlers when the
Indians threatened trouble. And
as the "Young Democrat" had a
fearful kick when fired. It was
placed against a rock, just west of
the later house on the hill and
one may plainly see to the pres
ent day the dents made in that
rock by tho kicking of the cannon, i
The friendly Indians who heard
the "Young Democrat" bark in
those days, and witnessed its re
coil, were wont to exclaim, "Ugh!
Um gun shootem back hard as
front," What became of the
Young Democrat?" Ralph C.
Geer belonged to the democratic
party in Illinois as well as in the
early days ot Oregon. But, in
common with many others of the
early Immigrants, he bolted when
the question ot slavery that
threatened the disruption of the
union became a burning issue.
