Portland, where he attended a meet­

not Marshfield would secure a new
postoffice building. Mr. Douglas said
that there are four applications ahead
of Marshfield and that it is almost a
certainty that the local Federal build­
ing could not be secured this year.
Mr. Douglas conferred with postal
authorities in Portland, regarding an
air mail connection with Caas Bay.
If a landing is made at Eugene, the
connection may be made between
Coos Bay and Eugene. Mr. Douglas

Once believing, as many honestly now believe, that
a state
.state income tax was the
tne solution of
oi taxation prob-
yiuu-
lems, 1 favored it. When chairman of the Assessment
and Taxation Committee of 1923 Oregon Legislative
Session I assisted in framing and
adopting a state income tax law.
It reached a few indivduals who
were making good incomes and pay­
ing little, if any, property tax, but it
drove from Oregon millions of very
badly needed investing capital, as
everyone knows who has kept posted
on this state’s affairs.
♦'

•
A direct case that forced me to .
know a state income tax at this per­
iod of Oregon’s development is un­
wise, was a million dollar investrtient which had been
planned for the city in which 1 then lived. This invest­
ment, hesitated until the state income tax law was re­
pealed. Then it proceeded to locate within that city’s
corporate limits paying municipal, high school and
other taxes willingly, it also brought in a payroll of
at least $20,900 a month.

e
This is but one instance of a large number through­
out the state, which proves that no matter how pretty
the theory of state income tax may seem to be, Oregon
can ill afford to adopt such a business policy w’hen no
other western state has it, and our dire need is to se­
cure more people with investing capital to develop in­
dustry within our borders.
.
•
♦
Lowering taxes will never be done by an ambitious
and progressive people. That has been demonstrated
time and again when seemingly worthy projects of
economy have failed of popular sanction. The demand .
of the public for improvements is so great that admin­
istrative economy effects only small savings.
*
•
•
These facts being of common knowledge and to a
great extent, of record, how are Oregon people to ob­
tain any tax relief?
x
Just one way: Attract more people and more in­
vesting capital to share the public burden.
•
•
•
No state secures new industry and new investing
capital without offering some inducement.
