Why Oregon Should Not Adopt
A State Income Tax
1. We are paying a high property
tax and a high graduated federal in
come tax, and will be called upon to
do that for many years to come, and
to add a state graduated income tax
would make it almost impossible to
get peopre with capital to come to
Oregon and locate or develop new
industries, and people now operating
industries and having capital would
go to some state w here there was no
state income tax.
2. A graduated income tax penal
izes large industries, as the tax rate
would be graduated from two to
twenty per cent of all they could
make above operating expenses for
taxes. To add twenty per cent more
by state income tax would compel the
owners to shut down the industry,
throwing thousands of people out of
employment. Our paper mills have
to compete with paper that is ship
ped in from Germany, Sweden and
other low-wage countries, for a great
deal less than paper can be made for
under American high wages.
3. The people who pay income
taxes farmers, dairymen, fruit grow
ers, sawmills, etc., are the ones who
give employment to labor. To load
them with a state income tax is real
ly a blow at laboring men and women
who would suffer seriously from un
employment. 4. If all states had a state income
tax it would be different. To single
out Oregon, alone, for this experi
ment would be very expensive and
unjust and unless all other states
enacted this law, soon there would
be no one living in Oregon making
anything more than a bare living.
What kind of a state would that be?
5. Daniel Webster in the Dart
mouth College cases argued that the
"power to tax is the power to de
stroy." Taxation has already become
destructive to industry, prosperity
and development in Oregon. The

Reports Show Business Re
vival .
In commenting on the Federal Re
serve system, a recent report of the
Economic Policy Commission of the
American Bankers Association, dis
approved and condemned without any
reservation the unwarranted attacks
that have been made inside of Con
gress and without on members of the
Federal Reserve board, individually
and upon the board as a whole. After
an economic survey of conditions,
throughout the country, the report
stated that a much greater feeling of
optimism prevailed in the nation, pro-
auction in most lines is again stim
ulated and sales are increasing so
that manufacturers and farmers have
ittle surplus on hand.
"In other words," the report said
"liquidation has been completed in
nearly all lines of activity throughout
the country, and costs have decreased
except in the items of labor, trans
portation and taxation. Even as re
gards labor there has undoubtedly
been a considerable lowering of
prices, especially as regards agricul
tural labor.
"Everyone seems to feel that the
worst is over, that interest rates will
continue to fall and that business
failures for the rest of the year will
not be unusually large.

Build Your Own Home
At this time, when business struc
tures and apartment houses are go
ing up on all sides; the thoughts of
the man of small income naturally
turns to possibilities of building his
own home.
' From both the economic and social
standpoint, there is no more import
ant question before the people than
the building of real homes.
Living in apartments is not cheap
and cannot be made so. Cheap liv
ing contemplates the family's doing
for itself much that it cannot do in
an apartment house.
An apartment house or a flat is an
impossible place in which to raise
small children.
The public playground is a poor
substitute for one's own back yard,
properly equipped for the kiddies.
It should be the aim and ambition
of every man to own his own home,
and it is the part of good citizenship
to help in making that not only possi
ble, but practicable.
We Are More Than Lucky
Do you ever stop to think how
lucky we of this country are, or do
Let Lasker Pinch Himself
The breadth of vision of the Am
erican farmer as reflected through
the American Farm Bureau, in con
nection with the development of an
American Merchant marine, is
i-trangely at variance with that cf
Chairman Lasker of the Shipping
Board, who has exhibited interest in
the agricultural section of the country
more in words than in action. Mr. J.
R. Howard, President of the Amen
ran Farm Bureau Federation, has
written to the Shipping Board, ap
proving government subsidy for ships
until our flag can be established on
the high seas, recognizing that the
development of our foreign trade de
pends largely on our ability to dis
tribute American products in Amer
ican bottoms. What a striking con
trast to the picayune policy of the
chairman of the Shipping Board
one of America's leading advertis
ing men, who scorned every means
of contact between the government
and the sixty odd millions of the peo
ple in country America.
Lasker is on record as admitting
that the American Merchant Marine
never can be a success unless it is
backed by the whole-hearted interest
of the people of rural America.
When he took hold of the shipping
reins there was in hand in fact,
there had already started a splen
didly conceived plan of educational
advertising aimed at teaching the
American resident in interior towns
and villages how closely their pros
perity is related to the water rail
roads that must carry American goods
to distant markets. This, however,
did not please the worshipper of the
Saturday Evening "Post." With a
stroke of the pen, Lasker swept the
whole of country America aside and
began to pour American money into
the columns of a number of the na
tional weeklies and the influential
cities. The poor little country pub
lisher might go to the devil, and his
reader, if he wanted facts relative to
American shipping, must get them
from some source other than his
home town newspaper.
Lasker's move was announced as a
suspension and not a cancellation of
the plan, but experience shows this
was but a sop to still the tongues of
the men who, had they cared to do
so, might have made matters uncom
fortable for the advertising shipping
expert.
The people of country America still
want to know what an American
Merchant Marine will mean to them,
because, when it comes to spending
of vast sums of money for ship sub
sidy they propose to have a vioce in
the votes of their representatives.
Mr. Lasker may conduct his advertis
ing business with a Czar-like hand,

SENATOR THOS. F.
RYAN
FOR STATE
TREASURER
What others say:
With Judge Ryan as state treasurer the people would be assured
htat the affairs of the office would be administered honestly and eco
nomically, that every dollar would be protected and that the disgrace
put upon the state by Mr. Hon would be wiped out. Mr. Ryan's record
Is absolutely clean. Portland Telegram.
Neither Investor nor guardian of public funds, nor as economist
nor as administrator has Mr. Hon earned re-election. His opponent,
Thomas F Ryan, of Oregon City, was for eight years assistant state
treasurer and his qualifications for office seem superior to those of Mr.
Hod's. The Capital Jouraal, Salem.
Dear Mr. Ryan:
"The result of my investigation of the office of Mate Treasurer is
so eminently satisfactory that I wish to express my appreciation of
finding an office where such a magnitude of business is transacted, con
ducted In the manner you are now and have been handling the office of
Treasurer of the state of Oregon for the time you have acted as deputy.
No man I know of In Oregon is better fitted to fill the position of Treas
urer than yourself and I believe the voters will show their faith In you
by electing you to the position." H. E. I'lnney, Auditor and Adjuster of
Official Bonds of State Treasurer.
Competency in the office of 8tate Treasurer Is too grave a matter
to be set aside in the interests of party or class. The Oregonian believes
strongly that Mr. Hoff, whatever his other attributes may be, is not
sufficiently versed In business matters to be continued in his present
trust and that Mr. Ryan should be nominated. The Oregonlaa
Judge Thomas F. Ryan and O. P. Hoff, present state treasurer, are
the two candidates for the Republican nomination to the office, and
Hoffs administration Is the principal issue. Ryan Is making the race
on his record as assistant state treasurer under Former ftate Treas
urer Thomas B. Kay, and a platfoTm of constructve policies. Holt's
administration was subjected to a special grand Jury Investigation In
the spring of 1920 resulting the Jury severely condemning his policy
of purchasing bonds from Morris Brothers with state funds at stuffed
premium prices. It enabled the bonding Arm to realize nearly 1100,000
In excess profits. I'ortlaaa Telrgraab
A sum of 1150,000 of state funds la on deposit with the State bank
inai closed Its doors today. The State Bank of Portland Is carrying t
imger amount of state funds on deposit than any other bank In th.
city. The state treasurer has a son employed In this Institution. Let
us retire Mr. Hoff and have a thorough Investigation of this importanx
office in all matters, as well as the work connected with Investments
made of trust funds. Caaa. Cooper, Secretary Oregon Scenic Assocla.
