Merchant
Marine Is
Held Vital
New York, Oct. 8. Until Anver
lcn us a whole awakens to the tact
that national economic stability Is
dependent upon the etubllah
ml of a national merchant mu
rine, there can never tie un Amer
lea merchant marine. Chairman
Lanker of tbe snipping board de
clared in an address before thfl As
sociated Advertising Clubs of the
World.
Reviewing the work of the prcs-
9nt board during Its existence nt
16 weeks he asked the "alienee
and Indulgence of the country,''
declaring that If these were not
given "America's economic life on
the seas, fur tbe next generation,
is dark Indeed."
"Until the farmer In Kansas, the
industrial worker In Indiana, the
miner of Arizona, realise," said
Mr Lasker, "that the regularity
and volume of their dally wage is.
In a measure, uc depestUiat oa the
establishment of an American
merchant marine as Is the conl inn
Ity of eiaplovment and tbe wage
or me dock worker In Baltimore
or han Francisco, there can he tin
assured hope that the flag of the
united NtaUw will be maintained
as It should he on tbe seven sea.
Sound economics accept as funda
mental that national prosperity Is
based cm continuity of employment
at wages consonant wit a Ameri
can standards of living.
"When surpluses accumulate,
rices are demoralized and em
ployment end until the excess has
been consumed,"
The sixteen weeks of work by
the present board, he said, "havtj
accomplished only a mere begin
ning bat a Teal beginning of the
foundation upon which a substan
tial structure of accomplishment,
we hope, may, in good time be
erected."
The per capita tax of Salem this year is $31.94, which
means that for every man, woman and child in Salem that
amount is paid in state, county and city taxes.
The taxes paid by the people of Salem total $564,752. The
assessed valuation of the city is $11,620,413. The rate of
taxation is 48.6 mills, or nearly 5 per cent on the valuation
The total tax paid by Woodburn is$58,444, by Silverton
$55,817, by Dallas, $42,066, by Independence, $24,272, by
AumsviJle, $5343 by Aurora, $7196. by Falls City. $12,644. by
Gervais, $6402, by Hubbard, $11,522, by Monmouth, $11,973,
by St. Paul, $2543, by Scotts Mills, $3240, by Stajston, $17,654,
by Sublimity, $2533; by Turner, $5952, and by West Salem,
$6380.
The per capita tax as compiled by the Oregon Voter is as
follows: Aumsville, $31.25; Aurora, $31.43; Dallas, $15.58;
Falls City, $12.72; Gervais, $23,89; Hubbard, $36.01; Inde
pendence, $21.24; Monmouth, $20.57; St. Paul, $15.90; Scotts
Mills, $15.58; Silverton, $24.80; Stayton, $27.20; SoMimity,
$14.73; Turner, $20.60; West Salem, $30.67; and Woodburn,
$35.29.
The rate of taxation, in mills, in these cities is as follows:
Aumsville, 45.3 mills; Aurora, 45 mills; Dallas, 39.5 mills.
Falls City, $49.8 mills; Gervais, 39.1 mills; Hubbard, 55.6
mills; Independence, 49.6 mills; Monmouth, 49.8 mills; St.
Paul, 45.9 mills; Scotts Mills, 51.9 mills; Silverton, 50.8 mills;
Stayton, 51. mills; Sublimity, 42.4 mills; Turner, 36.5 mills;
West Salem, 53.1 mills, and Woodburn, 66.9 mills.
If the proposed miflajre tax to finance the 1921 Portland
exposition is imposed, the cost to the people of Marion county
will be $124,392, which wDl still further increase the taxpay
ers load, ine cost to the property owners ot I'oik county
will be $52,539.
While the assessed valuation of Marion county increased
only 10.24 per eent from 1911 to 1921, and Polk county in
creased but 25.6 per cent, taxes collected in Marion county in
creased 77.6 per cent, and in Polk, 80.4 per cent in the ten
years. The per capita taxes increased in Marion county 218.2
per cent and in Polk county 195.2 per cent in thi speriod, and
the tax rite increased 255 per cent in Marion county and 121
per cent in Polk county.
If we are ever going to check taxation before it becomes
confiscation, the time to begin is now. There is no objection
to Portland's holding an exposition. There is serious objec
tion in making the taxpayers of the state pay for it. The per
capita tax is already excessive, but as half the people pay no
taxes, the actual taxpayers' per capita is far greater.
