The customer who quits and says nothing—
The insidious thir~ about this law is that industries do not complain— they simply
pack up and m ove to another state! They are like the customer who quits and says
nothing— you nev:r 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 tax refused to allow ua to use their names because
they did not want to be made to appear as tax dodger*— and yet they could not af
ford to carry a tax burden in Oregon which they did not need to pay in California or
Washington! There ¡3 an old adage which says, "Business is sensitive. It goes only
where it is invited and stays only where it is well treated." W e cannot afford to A N
TAGONIZE enterprises which other states are INVITING I
Yet the income tax law antagonizes industries and enterprises. Many au
thentic cases are on file where industries MOVED O U T OF OREGON OR
DECIDED NOT TO COME TO OREGON because of the income tax law.
Counting loss of capital invested, purchases and payroll, this loss is already
conservatively estimated at more than $40,000,000. The payroll loss alone
is already over $6,000,000 a year I
