THE OPPONENTS OF TAX EXEMPTION
----------- — __________________
The Class of Wealthy Philanthropists W hose Hearts Bleed
at Proposed Oppression of Honest Farmer
The Oregon City Courier is fight-
ing for the adoption of the f t 500
tax exemption measure and other
measures, and in its issue of August
13 it fires a broadside at the Non-
Partisan League,
of Portland,
which is fighting against these
measures. The Courier publishes
a letter which was sent out by the
Leagut last June to a selected list
of people and corporatious who
might be expected to contribute
money to the campaign to keep the
poor farmer and working mau and
small property owner horn being
fooled. The letter mentions sever­
al measures besides the exemption
proposal which are claimed to he
“ single tax” or “ socialist” ; then
calls on the recipient to contribute
“ $100 or as much more as the work
is worth to you,” for the defeat of
these measures.
The amount of the contribution
asked for indicates the class of peo­
ple to whom the letter was sent,
and therelore the class of people
who aie afraid that they would be
hurt if the measures pass.
As tor
the men who compose the Non-
Partisan League and who are so
fearful lest people of small resour­
ces will be ruined by lifting some
ol the tax burden off their shoulders,

was formerly one of the big chiefs

egon. He did not fully succeed,
but be showed organized labor how
dearly be loved them
The farmers and small borne
owners among the Herald’s readers
can readily imagine how mneb real
sympathy they get out of that
bunch, and how much the interests
of the small taxpayer lies at the
heart oi the Non-Partisan League.
They can imagine what a strenuous
fight the League would put up
against the $1500 tax exemption if
its effect would be to place a greater
burden on the shoulder cf the farm­
ers of the state and lift it from the
accumuled wealth of Portland.
In connection with the above,
the Herald is in receipt of a letter
from the Tax Liberatot, a new pub­
lication purporting to emanate from
Roseburg. To publish the paper at
Roseburg is a big scheme. Many
people would look upon it with
suspicion of it were published at
Portland, but giving it the Roseburg
date line will, of course, fool us poor
boobs. And those who ar eunfa-
miliar with the newspaper business
may not understand that the sub­
scription price of 25 cents a year
for an eight-page page paper does
not indicate a legitimate newspaper
enterprise. Few will notice the one-
cent stamp on the wrapper and
know that it is a dead give-away—
that a legitimate newspaper, just
starting, nas only to deposit the
necessary postage with the postmas­
ter and all in excess of one cent a
pound will be refunded after the
publication is admitted to the sec­
ond class rate —that it is a dead
waste of money to put a one-cent
stamp on each paper if application
has really been made in a legitimate
way.
Now, the Tax Liberator is put
out to fight the $1500 exemption.
In other words it is working hand
in glove with the Non-Partisan
League. That is why we wish to
give one extract from the letter
mentioned above. It says: “ The
farmers are one class of people who
are sharing a larger proportion of
the tax burden than they are enti­
tled to.
We have got to put less
taxes on the farmer and more on
the men of wealth; owners of stocks
bonds and mortgages and people
with large incomes.”
Isn't that fine? That ought to
catch the horny-handed tons of soil,
hadn’t it? And can not you see the
m e m b e r s of the Non-Partisan
League listed above, and all their
friends, putting up $100 apiece, or
"as much more as it worth to
them," to defeat a measure that
will take the burden of taxation off
“ men of wealth, owners of stocks,
bonds and mortgages and people
with large incomes,” and put it on
the farmer.
The Tax Liberator is the official
organ of the Oregou Rational Tax
Reform Association, which has an
executive committee for each coun­
ty. We note that the committee
for Coos county consists of one
large stock raiser and land owner;
one real estate dealer, well fixed
and semi-retired, one capitalist,
formerly a sawmill owner; one real
farmer who is an old-line stand-pat
Republican; and one other party
whose occupation we do not know
Curiously enough, it appears to
have no organization in Douglas
county, where its “ organ” is pub­
lished.
All this is given for the informa­
tion of Herald readers and for what­
ever assistance it may be to them
in considering the proposed tax ex­
emption measure. When so much
is made of the fact that the single
tax people are behind the measure,
if they are, then it may not be a
bad idea to consider who is putting
up the money for the opposition.

One of the important things
about laying a plank road is to put
the plank in the ground so that
fhere is a shoulder at each end to
keep the plank from slipping and
enough dirt thrown on the road to
work through and fill up the cracks,
then the planks will not turn on
edge.
The special road tax has been
worked into the ground. No mat­
ter how large an assessment roll a
road district may have or how
sparse the population of that dis­
trict or how small the amount of
produce that is hauled over the
road a tax can be voted and those
who pay the large bulk of the tax
are helpless to do but one thing;
stand and deliver while the other
fellow holds the sack.
Take the
road district, commencing at the
Stemmier place down the East fork
and North fork of the Coquille to
Myrtle Point.
There are good
farms all the way down that road,
and yet a special tax of ten mills
gives them just about $2,000. That
road can be made a water grade
nearly all the way down if not
quite (and why the county court
did not pour the money into a well
instead of pouring it on top of
Cooper mountain is a conundrum
to me.) The amount of money that
that district receives from the gener­
al fund is not much, is little com­
pared with the work they have to do
and the travel over that road. We
go over three mountains to get to
Coquille on a plank road which the
pig taxpayers have built, those re­
siding in the district having paid a
small part of it. We go over those
three mountains to get to Coquille
for the reason that districts down
the East fork have not any one in
it whom they can rob and they are
too poor to rob themselves.
My
judgement is that it is time to
knock ent this special district road
tax, and have instead a special
county road tax of ten mills and a
road district that wants to get a
special benefit of the county special
tax it would have to vote a special
tax in proportion to the amount
they recieved from the county
special tax.
