Newspaper Page TextPage 2, Register-Guard. Eugene, Ore., Wed., May 21, 1947 Granger Urges Fellows fo Eye Sales Tax Proposal Carefully Glenn Simmons, TBurston, said Wednesday he hat sent letters to every subsidiary Grange in ore gon, urging each to study the Ore gon sales tax bill carefully and de cide the Issue on the basis of fact, not propaganda. Voters of the state will decide Oct. 7 on approving or disapproving the proposed sales tax, Simmons is secretary of the Thurston Grange. "Do not be misled by propaganda that has been forced upon you through ignorance or any other name that you may care to apply to it," the letters urge. Asks Understanding "The Granges hove long stood for the retention of those demo cratic principles that make this country what It Is today. We do not care to lose those democratic principles by a lack of understand ing of the Issues that face ut at this present moment." The letters point out that the sales tax Issue will, be before the State Grange convention at Bend the first week In June. ; State's Stand "You all no doubt know of the DOW.JONES AVEBAGE8 40 bonds, 102.16, up 0.'.3. 10 higher grade rails, 109.40, off j 0,58. 10 second grade rails, S7.17, up P.M. 10 public utilities, 107.82, up 0.03. 10 Industrials, 104,24, up 0 02. stand that the State Grange takes regarding this matter. However. 'whether this stand still merits its worth when coupled with our economic development, in Oregon particularly and with our West Coast in general, is doubtful." Simmons asks the Grangers to "see for yourselves if it (the sales tax) is not the very thing that is needed to stabilize our present tax structure In the state of Oregon. Wants Discussion "Let us ask that this legislation be discussed openly at your meet ingsbe discussed frankly and above board, with due considera tion given to both sides rather man through a narrow, prejudiced viewpoint, and let us go to the state convention . . . with the idea in mind that the Oregon Granger is an individual who , , . has a mind of his own, is able to think clearly and has the intestinal fortitude to express those thoughts openly and without prejudice."
