FOREST GROVE,
DO YOU WANT SINGLE TAX?
How It Would Effect Taxpayers in
Washington County, by
Benton Bowman.
I wish to call attention to the con
stitutional amendment to be voted up
on at the June election, amending Sec.
l.-'A n. IX . oi the btate constitution so
tnat “ all dwelling nouses, barns, sheds,
outhouses and all other appurtenances
thereto, all machinery and Duildings
used exclusively
tor manuiactunng
purposes, and tne appurtenances there
to, ail fences, larm machinery and ap
pliances used as such, all fruit trees,
vinos, shruDs and all otner improve
ments on farms, all livestock, all house
hold furniture in use, and all tools
owned by workman and in use, shall
be exempt from taxation.’ ’
AU property devoted to municipal,
educational, religious, or charitable
purposes is already exempt.
This measure is proposed by the
Oregon Tax Reform Association, and
seems to be the single tax theory of
Henry George and others. They claim
that the property to be exem pted is
comparatively small, and to this I wish
to call particular attention. Let us
see how it will affect our own county,
alone:
A summary of the assessment for
1907 is as follows:

M edford would pay no more than the
adjoining land pastured or sown to
| grain. The same is
true of hop
| ranches and prune orchards.
It is proposed to assess land values
(n ot acres) and to discourage specu
lative holdings. Tim ber lands have
com m anded high prices, and the as
sessment was raised to a point where
they will pay their share of tax. Now
what will these same lands be worth
when logged off? Canyons, gulches
and stumps have no great value (and
value is the only thing to be taxed,)
unless it be for goat pasture, and the
goats are to be exempt.
Then the burden must com e back
on lands and town lots down on the
plain. Then if the logged off lands
are allowed to be sold for tax and the
county has to buy them in they are
free from tax while the cou "ty has
them.
So let us look before we leap into
this visionary, socialistic experiment.
Oregon has already adopted enough
freak measures to make her a subject
of ridicule, and to discourage capital
from seeking investment here. Safe
and sane laws will be sufficient induce
ment for industries to com e this way.
Higher taxes means higher rent.
So the renter is no better off than be
fore. If the poor man’ s house is to be
exempt he must pay more tax for the
ground to set it on. Let us not make
it so high as to discourage people from
owning land. The most reliable citi
zen any country can have is the man
who owns his home.
T o o much property is already ex
empt from taxation. Yet it all enjoys
the same benefits and protection as
the property paying the tax, and it is
but just and fair that all should help to
contribute its share. Let us consider
this matter before we vote upon it.
