The Chain Store Tax
Editorial
mment
From Other Papers
AT the tail end of the session a chain store tax bill was in
troduced, when of course the time is too short to give
a biB of that character the consideration it requires. It is
rather surprising- that the bill wasn't presented early in the
session, considering the gravy that lobbyists and politicians
and baiters might have thought to get out of both sides to
the perennial controversy between independent and chain
stores.
Former senator, now City Commissioner J. E. Bennett
sponsors this bill, so it is sure to be bristle with teeth to
take a big bit out of chains. It does, with a sharp yip also
for all stores. The annual levy starts at $5.50 a store and.
mounts up to $500 a year, which makes the bill look like a
measure to put the chain stores out of business rather than
to raise needed revenue. The levy is made per unit, without
regard to the volume of business done by each store.
This bill is like many bills in which the clash of compet
ing groups is noted. One group of dentists seeks to put har
ness on the advertising dentists. Dairy interests have long
sought to put butter substitutes out of business by the tax
ation method. The lobby is full of representatives of per
fectly legitimate businesses interested in the placing of hand
icaps for or against their own businesses. All this of course
is foreign to the old doctrine of "freedom of competition".
- Getting back to the chain-store tax, it seems to us the
independents have demonstrated the last few years that they
can compete very successfully with chains. The worst fail- counter for the scrip. They could

in recent years. There will always be independent stores; much as the redemption of the
and the chain stores are doubtless here to stay. Each will
battle for its share of the business. The chains which build
themselves into the communities through support of local
interests and participation of their employes in civic af
fairs are the ones which gain publie sympathy in contrast
with those which manifest no local interest. The proposed
special tax will not put chain stores out of business. The
way to beat the chain stores is the way many independent
merchants are doing, by aggressive and careful merchandising.
, COITNTT-XSSUED SOUP
Circulation of scrip Is success
ful where it volume Is a small
part of the circulating medium;
but it fails when the volume
forms a large share of the circu
lating medium.
So long; as the merchant or
tradesman la called upon to hon
or a few dollars of It dally, he
can get rid of it by passing it on
to other local dealers. But when
the rolume of circulating scrip
grows beyond the point where he
can exchange it locally, the sys
tem breaks down.
The weak spot In any scrip plan
of magnitude is the fact that scrip
is not legal tender, that banks
cannot accept it on deposit and
that business organisation has be
come so complex that business
men cannot conduct their bus
iness except through the transfer
of funds through the banks.
Let us suppose that Linn coun
ty would issue $200,000 in scrip,
based on a development program;
that the Issue would be evidenced
by 200,000 pieces of $1 scrip; and
that the plan of redeeming them
be the stamp plan, whereby the
merchant or purchaser would
paste a two cent stamp on the
back of the scrip piece and the
county would redeem them when
endorsed by fifty or more stamps.
The result would be that the
county would get $200,000 In
work done free of charge and that
the merchants or the purchasers
would pay for it.
But that la not the chief argu
ment against the plan. If 1200.-
000 were released in scrip In the
Albany trade territory, this Is the
way the plan would work out.
Suppose that one grocery firm.
say Becker A Roberts, would re
ceive in the course of a day's bus
iness ioo in scrip. In exchange
ior u iney would giro $100 worth
of groceries that cost them In act

would they do with the 2100 1b
scrip? It is true that they might

A Farmer's Advice
GIVE Farmer Haines of Washington county a hand. When
the embattled farmers appeared before the house com
mittee on taxation and revenue oratory flowed freely. Unan
imous were the pleas for relief from tax burdens. When it
comes to exacting jiew tax measures there have been many
threats against a sales tax, that a referendum would be in
voked and a campaign waged against it to compass its de
feat. But Farmer Haines decried attempts to break up the
program of the legislature. He said in substance:
"We have come here and presented our cause. We hare
given our ideas. We hare assurance that the legislature is In
earnest in its endeavor to do what is best for the state. We
hare confidence in the members whom we elected to come to
W Salem only a""few months ago. So when after studying the
question the legislature enacts its tax laws, let no one sign a
petition for a referendum and hold up matters in the state."
Farmer Haines got some applause; yet we are sure that
interested groups will seek referendums on bills not to their
liking. In many respects mass legislating results in a gov
ernmental breakdown. We almost have it in Oregon. Laws
are constantly "on wheels". A legislative enactment may be
held up by referendum ; or some new law will be initiated
directly. There is constant uncertainty and unsettlement over
taxes, over fish in the rivers, and other controversial sub
jects. Stability and continuity are the foundations of orderly
government. This direct voting system, carried to the ex
treme it has been in Oregon, is manifesting the same dele
terious effects which always develop with pure democracies.
We have always been favorable to the initiative and referendum-method;
but they should be more restricted. We
should rely more on the legislature, and make fewer changes
in our basic laws.
To come back to the tax question, hasn't Farmer Haines
made a good suggestion? When the legislature has done its
work, after numerous and prolonged hearings and generous
publicity, will not the people accept the verdict and let the
measures go into - effect? For our own part we have not
been friendly to a sales tax; and hope yet it may be avoided.
. But if such a tax is voted, we will follow the recommen
dation of Mr. Haines and not aid or abet a referendum
against it

outside of Albany: and this is
through no fault of its own but
through the conditions that exist
In business organisation.

Is confined to the amount which
merchants can use in paying their
local bills, the serin clan will
work satisfactorily through mu

but when the volume grows be

any virtue, the scrip plan must

Slow Progress
TT is hard to be optimistic during this winter of despair.
X The best guide however is not the news flashes of spec-;
tacular occurrences or reports of bad deals which are now
"water over the dam"; but the unvarnished, often drab re
ports from the concerns like Dun's and Bradstreet's who
live just 'as close to facts as possible. The opening para
graph in their last weekly business review is as follows :
"There was more in the reports on trade conditions this
week to generate encouragement, and more developments cal
culated to Indicate that progress has not ceased, even though its
pace may have slackened somewhat In certain branches of activ
ity. The period of readjustment now under way gives increasing
evidence that business gradually is recovering from the most un
favorable phases which have hampered its forward movement,
and that tor all the lack of outstanding gains In many important
. divisions, bearish Influences to effect recession are being resist
ed vigorously. Too much attention apparently la being focused
on catastrophes and too little interest being taken in the expand
' tag foundation that Is being- built quietly but steadily by those
possessing patience, fortitude, and faith in the future."

While you are acknowledged to

there is a possibility of a lack of

your editorial comment regarding

During my 40 years residence in

Many call it beautiful. It Is very
possible that the old-timers see
