contends that the ommissien of

brought about the death of the

SYSTET.1 DEFENDED
Relief of Real Property by
Newly Imposed Levies
Backed by Fisher :
Defending the Oregon system of
taxation.1 Karl Fisher addressed
the Rotary club yesterday- on the
subject of taxation. Declaring
there . was no such thing as a
"good" tax law because all. taxes
were impositions upon the people.
riaher vigorously " defended ; the
new taxes on Incomes and In
tangibles as representing; a fairer
distribution of the tax burden
Where half ot the Income from
real estate in this state had . been
paid out for taxes, he felt that the
necessity was urgent for relieving
real estate Of a share of this
load. This was the recommenda
tion of tho Day tax commission of
10 rears ago; and now real prop
erty, had become even more bur
densome to its Owners. Tha result
was thst lumber.' agriculture
and gracing Interests suffered.
Seventeen states have adopted
tax on Intangibles, aald Mr.
Fisher. Oregon's rate he defended
as just, and condemned proposals
to use the aame rates aa the In
come tax law. because that' would
let many able to pay escape with
very tight tax. As it is- under
tho present income tax law to
per cent of the people escape pay
ing any Income tax.
Fisher scored the "pernicious
propaganda", that the new tax
laws were driving people out of
the state or keeping industry from
locating here. When the fnll bur
den of the tax load is paralysed
Oregon' compares very favorably
with other states, except some of
the southern states where govern
ment costs are low. Recently a
concern moved from Utah to
Portland to carry on manufactur
ing and did so- after a' careful
study of the tax burdens they
would have to assume.

as a new member of Rotary.,

ed Wednesday, that tils Is the

The ehlef danger comes from
the fact that typhoid germs are

Dr. Douglas, but It worse now.
Tho only way those diseases
can be contracted is by swallow
ing some of the water, but this la
almost Inevitable when swimming
