Every Forward Looking Citizen
Should Fight for Oregon and its
Development
By BRUCE D E N N IS
Author of the Dennis Resolution
When the people of Oregon enacted a state income
tax in 1928 they did so because they believed it was just
aud right. They believed it would reduce taxes. At that
time they had plenty of theory and lew facts to guide them.
They repealed that law io 1924 be­
cause it was a proved hard time breeder.
It cost the people of Oregon the stag­
gering total of $40,000,000 to learn that
economic conditions absolutely beyond
their control are such in Oregon that a
state income tax drives out industries,
keeps others from coming in, reduces
payrolls, makes it herder to obtain farm
loans, and strikes at every home in the
country, village, town or city.
• * •
But cur state is again in turmoil because a determined
effort is being made Io force practically this same law up­
on the state this year. Our people are being asked to ig­
nore plain fundamental economic facts. They are being
aeked to enact a law on a “ guess” that it will bring good
times now, when painstaking, honest investigation proved
that the former tax did drive out industries, dapital, jobs,
and millions of taxable wealth from Oregon, and a new
state income tax will do it again,
• « •
Oregon is full of meritorious projects that should be
developed. Uig public improvements are necessary to
open up our state, to bring tbe farms closer to their mark,
ets and cities closer to their bases of supplies.
Wealth
untold lies idle in natural resources awaiting the magic
touch of development capital to bring it to the tax rolls, to
create new payrolls, new activities and beter livlihood for
our people.
• • •
Since the last income tax law was repealed millions
of dollars have been loaned in Oregon by outside financial
«oncerns, at low rate», on long time, and with repayment
privilegas never known to Oregon before. If a new income
tax is enacted, and this discrimination aimed exactly at
these investors, rates will go up, much of the unlouned
funds wil be withdrawn, and our people will again face the
inescapable fact Oregon needs capital, but capital does not

This is no I in e for prattle. It is high time for plain

We can drive capital out, but we cannot force it to
come in uuless wu make it advantageous for it to do so.
Oregon, ninth state in area, is relatively insignificant eco­
nomically. 119,000,000 of America’s 120,000,000 people
reside outside of Oregon. Let ua remember the industrial
city of Detroit has over 100,000 more people than the state
of Oregon, with its 96,000 square miles. Let us remember
that 78*2,21)6 people here didn't make enough to file income
tax returns, and that only 811 people in the entire statJ
had earnings in exce a of $10 000; that of Oregon's 5000
corporations only 1078 made enough profit to file taxable
reports, that 478 made less than 95,000 and only 183 over
20,000, including all public utilities, lumber mills, flour
mills, factories, railroads and other industries.
• • •
We have 55,157 farms, one to every 15 persons, 2500
industries, one to each 880 persona. What would one in­
dustrial center like Detroit mean to our farms, our home
owners, our workers, our state? Oregon wante them,
Oregon wants capital and wants to go ahead. Oregon
wants to avert economic disaster, and instead wants to of­
fer capital, new people, new industry, opportunity to help
us grow.
That is what the Dennis Resolution it for. It guar,
antees that no state income tax can be enacted to discri­
minate against development and progress before 1940.
It guarantees to every Oregon family that the state will
not tax its accumulations when the braad winner dice.
As a prosperity making measure it deserves the support of
every foiward looking citizen.
