Income Täi
Again We were disappointed i Repeatedly, The
Daily Tidings in its study of the income tax situa
tion has found only halfhearted arguments in favor
of this measure.
Regardless of who is to blame, undoubtedly the
state’s business is in a condition whereby more
money will be needed than will be derived from the
present sources of revenue.
The ordinary business institution, in the same
condition, would retrench, if that woqld furnish a
remedy; procure more business and tnus provide
mOre income, t>r borrow money to* tide it oVef the
emergency.-
I
While it makes interesting reading to a certain
element to yell your head off about state cutting
down expenses, The Daily Tidings cannot figure out
where this will solve the problem confronting the
state. The damage unquestionably is already done—
both in appropriations and in the elimination of the
necessary income. Thus, except for blood and thun-
dqr editorials, there seems to be no merit in this
phase of the question at present, although it could
be well applied in the future in some cases which
have brought about the present situation.
The second possible remedy is equally as use
less in the present emergency. The laWs pfoVide
only a certain income, placing limitations upon in
creases which have built up a brick wall that cannot
be surmounted by the state officials at present.
This would leavt only the plan of borrowing
moHey to tide the btrsinegs over. The state has this
importunity, if you apply the same procedure as a
business institution would take.
Yet, this plan must be supplemented with an
explanatory paragraph. .If warrants are issued, the
state, is in no better permanent condition than at
present The warrants must ba paid and*the ih-
creased income possible unefer the law Would only
make these warrants a continuously increasing sum
for several years.
‘ \
However, certain forces say there is a better way
in which the state can meet the situation. That is the
income tax method, which is proposed t6 the voters
in the !»■ Jfme

Which is the better i>lani Take their plan
and pay income taxes, or issue warraifts and pay
interest f
As We stated in the opening paragraph, The
Daily Tidings Writer has discussed the income tax
question with many who should know somethifig
about the Situation confronting the state, has read
the arguments of those favoring the income tax and
made other investigations, with the resiflt that only
once in the endorsements—personal, organisation or
newspaper—have w’e discovered one who approved
the income tax except with reservations.; Of course,
we eliminate the politicians who cannot be considered
except as biased.
One says it is the only course, another says he
favors it merely as an emergency—but we fear it
will be more difficult to drop than to pick up—;
a third says there is no better plan suggested—as
if we should adopt it merely because nothing^ else
is advocated; a fourth says its the lesser Of two' evils
—have We only evils 1U Oregon!; a fifth says it is all
right, but it plays favorites; a sixth —well oh and
on it goes, always with reservations and exceptions
and excuses.
The Tidings knew that the state Orange favored
the income tax and eagerly awaited its state 600-
vention,' hoping its endorsement Would be Whole
hearted and sound.
And this is what greeted the writer yesterday
in the press dispatch of the- speech of the state
grange master; “ Even with its faults—. ”
On and on it goes—exceptions, excuses, reserva
tions, compromises!
The Writer, like others who are open-minded,
