we stand for a law that
kept 3000 families out of Oregen:
Of course xvc wouldn't! So it's up to us to vote the
antagonistic Income Tax Law out of existence!
For it has already lost for Oregon payrolls amount
ing to more than six million dollars ($6,000,000)
a year! And six million dollars means at least
3000 families who are lost to Oregon's popular
tion in just one year under this dangerous law.
Oregon needs Jobs and Markets
The Income Tax kills both!
Vote 312X YES and kill the Income Tax!
If there nre two things Oregon needs nbovc nil others it iu ( I ) jobs for her
workers, nntl (2) markets for her products. Every new enterprise or in
dustry brought into Oregon means more jobs. Jobs support population. Ev
ery increase in population means a better market for farm and factory
products.
Yet the income tax law antagonizes industries and enterprises. Many au
thentic cases arc on file where industries MOVED OUT OF OREGON OR
DECIDED NOT TO COME TO OREGON because of the income tax law.
Counting loss of capital invested, purchases and payroll, this loss is already
conservatively estimated at more than $40,000,000. The payroll loss alone
is already over $6,000,000 a ycarl
59 Industries lost to Oregon in
a single year others threatened
These figures show the appalling efFect of this unwise tax law
which antagonizes industries on which a large part of our
growth and prosperity depend.

Kon on account of the income tax refused to allow us to use their names because
