INSULATE YOUR HOME
For A Cooler Summer
A Warmer Winter
Last week we had a chance to listen to a representative group of
citizens of this community discuss the pending 3 -per cent gross tax
bill which supporters of the Townsend plan intend to present at the
November election.
This bill asks for a 3 't tax on ALL "gross income of every person,
firm, association, co-partnership or corporation residing or doing bus
iness in Oregon.” It will thus tax all wages, salaries, receipts of busi
nesses without any deductions, exemptions, or allowance for cost of
production or cost of merchandise sold.
A 3% gross tax which will strike at the consumer and the small
businessman will do more to create inflation within the state of Ore
gon than any relaxation of price controls.
Opinions among the group to which W'e listened varied as to reasons
why the 3 'i gross tax would be undesirable but all agreed that the
hardest hit would be the people whose incomes are small. Each time
that a housewife buys a 1< if of bread she wou'd pay a three per cent
tax, on the selling price of the bread. The grocer would have already
paid a three per cent tax when he bought the bread from the baker,
that three per cent "which he paid would naturally have been added
to the retail selling price, so that the housewife would also have to
pay that additional three per-cent. Then of course the baker would
have had to pay various three per cent taxes on flour and other in
gredients which go into the making of a loaf of bread. These taxes he
would have to pass on to the grocer, who inturn w-ould pass them on
to the housewife.
In the final analysis this pyramiding, of taxes on gross sales means
that Mrs. Housewife, would have to pay the total gross sales on all
previous sales of component parts of a loaf of bread or any item w'hich
she bought.
I t’s the consumer w'ho pays, and here in Oregon where there are
thousands of small families, living on middle class incomes, the pyr
amided gross sales tax would cause either indebtedness or inflation.
The group which was concerned with this problem the other night
were middle class people, just good ordinary Ashland citizens who felt
that it was enough of a threat to the well being of their homes and
families and income to spend some time discussing ’ w ays and means
to combat it.
It would be well if every family would discuss this threat before
the November elections, and would make plans to keep Oregon safe
from inflation and pyramided gross sales taxation.
