Tax Limitation Must Come
By A W. PIPES
One of the most important issues that has been
before the voters of Oregon in the history of its
statehood is coming before them in November
this year, when we shall vote on the 20-mill property
tax limitation as a constitutional amendment. At the
present time nearly one-half of the state of the na
tion have either already adopted such a measure or
are now wrestling with the issue. They have found
that the only way to force economy upon pubhc of
ficials and budget committees is by law. Some
states are seeking a limitation as low as 10 mills
and some are proposing complete abolition of real
estate taxes. Complete abolition of real estate taxes
can be termed nothing short of radical and should
not be considered by any commonwealth. Real es
tate should bear its due proportion of taxes but
that proportion should not be 80 per cent of the
total, as now exists in many states.
Oregon is asking for a 20-mill limitation which I
believe is fair, and which if adopted will do more
to reestablish a fair value to real estate than any
thing done or proposed in the 75 years of Oregon
statehood. Owning real estate has been traditional
with the American people for 150 years, and owning
real estate (a home) is one of our very best guar
antees to American patriotism and American so
ciety. This tradition under our political regime is
rapidly perishing from the hearts of the American
people because of burdensome and confiscatory tax
ation Prosperity to this nation will not return until
real estate is restored to an active market—when
people have a desire to own and improve and build
homes.
employes, are already organising to fight this
amendment. The chairman of the opposition in Jack-
son county has been on the public payroll through
out the span of his business life. They are warning
the public not to limit the taxes on real estate until
another tax is provided for to make up the de
creased revenue which real estate would yield under
the limitation provision. They have visions of forced
economy of the dawn of a new day, when tax
levying bodias, always dominated by the public
payroll employes, can no longer assess an unlimited
amount against your home and your farm, knowing
that they can issue warrants in lieu of delinquent
taxes The only way to limit moat public officials
in their spending is by law. and the only way to
protect the public official against a clamoring public
is by law.
One of the best arguments against providing for
another tax if this amendment is adopted is the
fact that in Jackson county we have approximately
TWO MILLION DOLLARS upon our books of de
linquent taxes which have accumulated since 1930
Against this delinquency we have outstanding war
rants in the various subdivisions in the county of
