O ne o f the finest fights of this
session of the leg islatu re has been
over school taxes. School teac h er,
and some new ly organised groups
o f school officials have asked for
much la rg er sums fo r schools and
have demanded th a t this money be
taken fro m mconse taxes. These
propo— Is b rin g up a much la rg e r

Oregon I t a com paratively sm all

property taxes f o r su p o rt of all
roverm nental functions until about
15 years ago when the income tax
passed. The moneys from this
tax , however, are to he used as <
p ro perty ta x offset. I t is considered
probable th a t the income tax could
not have been passed nor retained
w ithout this fe a tu re . I t is a most
desirable featu re as f a r as pro p er
ty taxpayers are concerned.
No new taxes o f moment have
been passed since th a t time. There
are a fe w but they bring in little
