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 popula­ tion in just one year under this dangerous law. 59 Industries lost to Oregon in a single year— others threatened 1 hese figures sh o w th e a p p a llin g effect o f th is u n w ise t a x law w hich a n ta g o n iz es in d u strie s on w h ich a larg e p a rt of our g ro w th a n d p ro sp e rity d ep en d .

Vote 312X YES and kill the Income Tax! 22 If there are two things Oregon needs above all others it is ( I ) jobs for her workers, and (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.

The customer who quits and says nothing— The insidious thing about this law it that industries do not complain__they shnpJy pack up and move to another state I They are like the customer who quits and s a y nothing— you never know he is dissatisfied nor why — hence have no cK -v * to make matters right with him. Many large concerns whA’ Uh Or stayed out of Ore­ gon on account of the income tax refused to allow us to use their names because they did not want to be made to appear as tax dodgers— and yet they could not af­ ford to carry a tax burden in Oregon which they did not need to pay in California or Washington I There is an old adage which says. "Business is sensitive. It goes only v'here it is invited and stays only where it is well treated." W e cannot.afford to A N - 1 AGONIZE enterprises which other states are INVITING I Yet the income tax law antagonizes industries end enterprises. Many au­ thentic cases are on file where industries MOVED OUT OF OREGON OR DECIDED NOT TO COME TO OREGON bee ause 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.
