Tbe Scio Tribun« Page 3 General Newa ^vWOULD we stand for a law that kept 3000 families out of Oregon? Of course we wouldn't! 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 These figures show the appalling effect of this unwise tax law which antagonizes industries on which a large part of our growth and prosperity depend. Oregon needs Jobs and Markets The Income Tax kills both! Vote 312X YES and kill the Income Tax! If there are two things Oregon needs above all others it is ( I ) jobs for her workers, nhd (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. Yet the income tax law antagonizes industries and enterprises. Many au thentic cases are on file where industries MOVED OUT OF OREGON OR DECIDED NOT TO COME TO OREGON because of the income tax law. Counting loss of capita] invested, purchases and payroll, this loss is already conservatively estimated at more than $40.000.000. The payroll loss uione is already over $6,000.000 a year I The customer who quits and says nothing — I*he inmdiou* thing about thia law is th a industries do not complain—they simply par-k up and move to another .taleI They are like the customer who quits and says nothing—you never know he is dissatisfied nor why — hence have no chance to make matters right with him. Many large concerns who left or stayed out of Ore gon on account of the income taa refused to allow us to use their names because they di<i not want to lx made to appear as taa dodgers— and yet they could not af ford to carry a taa burden in Oregon which they did not need to pay in California or Washington! There is an old adage which says. "Business is sensitive. It goes only where it is invited and stays only where it is well treated " We cannot afford to AN TAGONIZE enterprises which other states are INVITING! This insidious law must go It is hurting Oregon ! Read these extracts from letters. The originals and hv adreds more like them are on file. TI ten go to the polls November 4th and rid Orc gon of this objectionable law which is keeping millions of dollars and thousands of people away from our state. th. lull <>4 OrtgM th. •<*<• locum« «•a lot*. th.n «• iMtlr-Ml it beat la 'niworywSt th. ■ ■mp.., m Clbl«.«.., which Iona.

Is that good business or good sense? The situation is critical. It must be met by intelligent voting.
