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

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.
Vote 32a X No- Offset Income Tax Bill.
Vote 335 X No-Crangc Income Tax 311.
