SALES TAX DE­
BATED WED.
)
-»--------—
•
There were four or five hundred
people in attendance Wednesday eve­
ning for the sales tax debate between
Senator* John Goss, of Marshfild, and
Peter Zimmerman, of Yamhill eounty.
As a debate on th* merits ef the
law, passed by the legislature, and
which wiM come up on referendum
vote at the primary, the evening's
talk* appear to this writer to be die-
appointing.
Mr. Gosa made a good talk on th*
inception ef the Mil, its history, and
the need for state’ and county funds
which the law would produce.
Mr. Zimmerman'» opposition to the
law was expressed in large degree in
what is known in th* United States
as "red” propaganda.
The kind of
talk that assails the "big boys” in
business as trying to fasten a tax on
the man who haa nothing in order
that the rich may escape taxation; a
taking away from those who have
and giving to those who have not; a
letting up of class prejudice end
hatred, a thing that has no business
in this country.
After listening to Zimmerman’s
talk It is our opinion that Dr. Jas.
Richmond and the member* of the
Anti-Sale« Tax League here have ad-
vanced, at their weekly meetings, a
great deal more logic*! reasoning, and
have offered more real objection* to
the sales tax than th* Yamhill man
did in his tirade against the rich.
Such talk may get him somewhere
in politics, and he left the impression
that he waa a follower of Bob LaFol-
lette and expected to go places by fol­
lowing the same methods, but unless
hia talk ie made for the aoie purpose
of advancing his own interest*, and
mean nothing, he would be a danger­
ous man to place in power.
Senator Goss stated that the sales
tax bill came to the senate on the last
day of the special session and it *u
