1 51 3 1 t X it " ' 1 Sane Tax Thinking' an Oregon need. BY liftCCSi' F.YsW Author ot the Uttm'.s Resolution, Once belieung, as many honestly now believe, that a I state income tax was the solution of taxation problems, I I favored ir. When chairman of the Assessment and I Taxat on Cmmittee of the 1923 Oregon Legislative Session 1 assisted in framing; and r adopting a sf ate income tax law. It rt'sched a few Individnals who vt e miik intr Rood incomes and pay ing little, K imy, property tax, but it it diove fri.m Oregon millions of very badly needed inves'lng capital, as everyone known who has kept posted X V t X - L ' ' i f 0,1 this stall!8 af fai'9. A direct case ihat forced me to know a stiile income tax at this per iol of Oregon's development is un w;s was a million dollar investment which had been planned for the city in wdich 1 thn lived. This invest ment htsitated until the state income tax law was re pealed. It then proceeded to locate within that city's corporate limits paying municipal, high school and other taxes willingly. It also brought in a pay roll of at leas, S20.000 a month. This is bnt sne instance of a good many through out the state, whicn proves that no matter how pretty the tneory of state income tax muy seem to be, Oregon can i 1 af.ord ;o adopt such a business policy when no otoer western state has it, ana our dire need is to se cure more people with inves.ing capital to develope in dutry within our borders. Lowerin taxes wil never he done by an ambitious and progressive people. Thut has been demonstrted jime and atuin when setmingly wortsy projects of economy have failed of uoouiar sanction. The demand cf the public for imrrovmenu is so great that adminis trative economy e'fectsi but small savinge. These facts being of common knowledge and to a grat extent, ot record, how are Oregon people to ob tain any tax relief? Just one way: Attract more people and more in vesting capital to share the public burden. No state secures new industry and new investing capital without offering some inducement That is why I introduced Senate Joint Resolution No. 5, comnonly called the "Dennis" resolution, in the 1925 Legislative Session. That is why it was paseed by the legislature and offered to Oregon oters for their cosideration at this genepal election. It proviees that no indome tax and no inheritance tax can be levied by the state of Oregon before 1940. The Dennis Resolution is simply a bueines projosi tion. It is alK nonsense for Oregon to adopt an income tax law one year, repial it the next and thn adopt it again the following year. By Jsuch methods the state giver out9ietrs and he. on people, the idea that we are all confused and cannot think out for ourselves and adopt a fixed policy relating to our financial affairs. It leaves the commonwealth in an unsettled condition, and canoes constant uncertainty, under which busine aid industry and the riailj affairs of the people cannots prospe. The Dolnia Resolution guarantees to iuvest in? capital and to all Lusir.is generally a safe and sane policy until the eor 1910 by assuring that this com monweakh will levy r.o state income or inheritance taxes on her pi-opie until tht year. Taking of Inheritance taxes for that period U also a direct bid for investing capiul. The state treasury instead of losing any money by doing away with the in hefitance tax, will( gain many times such amount by the increased wealth attracted to Oregon which wil pay itfc regular taxes. Capital seeks th channels of rreatest awards and leasl hazards. We have everything to a'.Uact it in the wsy of resources and climatH. Now, let us do so r hard thinking, ceate csilir g ech oth;r names for a time, and voteifor Oregon's ad vancement and prosperity. Vote 306 X Yes -Dennis Resolution.
