Salem Firm Escapes TaxlTravel Bureau
Rolls, Charges Baum llitfc Fvenls
That' from 1100.000 000 in
$1 50,000,000 worth of person
al property in Oregon isn't on
the tax rolls wis just one of
the statements of Rep. David
Baum of Union county when he
; was picturing whit he called
, the "tax mess" before a large
meeting at Mayflower hall Sat
urday afternoon.
A lot of Umber Isn't listed
at all, he said, and went so far
as to declare that one Salem
firm with a valuation of $150,
000 had been in business 10
years without being on the tax
rous.
Baum was one of several!
members of the legislature who
were put through a grill of
questions by representative of
1 labor, farm and a score of oth
er organizations in a gathering
sponsored by the Oregon Farm
ers Union.
Elaborating on the tax snarl
Baum said that assessments
range from 5 to 90 per cent
of actual value, although per
centages of assessment are
supposed to be equal. :
In one Willamette valley
county, he said, six canneries
were given the same assessed
valuation as one cannery in
another county adjoining.
The Union county man said
there is no disposition in the
legislature to increase taxes,
but that an effort is being made
to equalize them and correct
existing errors. He rapped mer
chants who hold goods on what
is called consignment and to
which, he said, they make no
claim of ownership until after
assessments have been made.
"We think we have this phase
of it licked," he said.
As for income taxes Baum
said an effort is being made to
reduce them by half a million
dollars.
Legislators appearing at the
meeting were each given 10
minutes to talk, which was fol
lowed by 20 minutes of ques
tioning. V
Rep. Mark Hatfield of Mar
lon county discussed the civil
rights bill, the proposed con
stitutional convention, Initiative
and referendum and trie elec
tion laws.
: Of the clvU rights bill Hat
field said, it demands equal
rights in all public places. He
predicted the bill might have
a rough journey through the
House of Representatives.
Among other speakers were
Rep. Monroe Sweetland of
Clackamas county, on develop
ment of resources and the
power surcharge; Rep. Alfred
Corbett of Multnomah county,
on social welfare bills; Rep.
Phil J. Roth of Multnomah, la

gren of Clackamas, on agricul
ture; and James Morris, station
