W ashington........... ........NO Income Tax

Oregon ___ __________ INCOME TAX
California .........................NO Income Tax
WE HAVE EXAMINED copies of the documej tary evidence aa to the
effect of a state income tax upon Oregon. We arj satisfiel aa to the gen­
uineness« of the document«.
We find that this evidence substantiates the cla m that meny millions of
dollars have been divered from investment in Oregon industries that would
provide a home market for Oregon agricultural products.
We find the damage ia so serious and of such extent that we appeal to
our neighbors and to voters in all parts of Oregon to vote for the repeal
of the present income tax and to oppose the enactment of any new state
income tax bill, at least until such time as the other Pacific Coast states
have enacted similar legislation so they cannot grow at Oregon's expense.
We do not object to paying a state income tax, but we do object to im­
posing a tax that keeps capital out of our state, retards state development
anl tends to leave our farmers dependent upon distant markets.
We resent the tendency to give Oregon the reputation of being a "back-
wari state.” Oregon’s resources and the courage and enerprise of her pio­
neer people entitle her to a great destiny. Let us ail join hands to rid Ore­
gon of legislation that handicaps Oregon development.
