The following are ten para mount reasons why Oregon voters should vote 119 No against the proposed law: 1. ThU raw would cause triple income taxes. Oregon taxpayers have all the taxes they can pay now. ' 2. Consumers would not have as much money left to purchase necessities, which would be higher in price due to pyramiding taxes added to the coat of producing or manufacturing them. S. Farmers would' have to take th market price for their produc, and they would thus hav to pay th tax. They should be encour aged to produce, not discouraged. 4. Th enactment of this law would encourage wast and great er consumption by those receiving benefits under It, and discourage longer hours of labor by the labor ing men and greater production by th manufacturer or processor. 9. The cost of this tax added onto th cost of Oregon products would put them in a position where they could not compete with 'the same products from states not having this tax. S. New industries would be discouraged from coming to Ore gon, and thua state employment would be cut. Oregon would b th only state with both a net and a groas income tax. 7. This law would not b fair to those who have been Investing aavlngs in life insurance policies throughout the years, because a a . iney wouia nave to pay a 3 per cent tax on cash received there from. Nor would this law be fair to those who hav savings in the bank er invested in property, be cause auch aavings and profits would not purrhas nearly so much to th higher prices brought about by this tax. 8. This tax would not b fair to thoa holding mortgages nor to thoa who must make paymenta on tries mortgages. Th holder would pay 3 per cent on Interest received, and th person paying interest and principal upon the mortgage would b less able to make payments on Interest and principal when due. 9. Under this law, the aged would not be assured of steady regular payments of an amount sufficient to pay all their living routs during times of depressions when others would not hav large enough groas incomes to yield enough taxes to finance such pay ments. There would be no r serv accumulated. Every penny received would be paid out every month. 10. Finally, this law Is contra ry to th laws of common sense of man, and also to th laws of God: "If any would not work, neither should he eat . . . " 2 Th. 3 10: Wherefore do y tend money for that' which Is not bread? and your labor for that which satis fied not? ..." Is. 55 2; "... Who is able to stand before envy?" Pr. 27.4. The supporters of this law appear to me to be extremely lazy, extravagant and envious of those who toil and save.
