The sales tax that the people of Oregon are asked to vote July 21 as an emergency tax measure will take care of the deficit in the state treasury, but can the taxpayer be sure that it will remain as an emer- gency tax measure and not become permanent! With an all-state property tax de- linquency average of 45 per cent it can readily be seen that there is urgent need for a remedy. But it we look into the provisions in the sales tax bill we find that the cost of collection. «300,000, must come out of the first receipts of the «6,0 0 0,0 00 revenue, leaving $5,700,- 000, which is applied first to state purposes and elementary school tax in the amount of «5,051,426. The other three items taken from this amount are «41.511 or l-25th of a mill, for the blind; $500,000, or 12 mill, for veterans’ sinking fund; and Interest guaranteed on irriga- tion bonds, «102,169. These items How much will total «5,695,106. the remaining amount materially reduce the deficit in the property tax? There will be very little left to apportion to the county and state on a fifty-fifty basis for this pur- pose. If this new proposed sales provision would equally distribute the tax burden among all citizens of the state while at the same time eliminate or materially reduce the property tax It would be favorable as an emergency tax measure. But Instead of reducing the property tax it attaches an additional tax onto purchases made by the farmer and i laboring man. Even though this is ; small and will not be noticed as . each purchase is made, it continues to add to, rather than reduce the tax burden. A provision in the sales tax bill makes business and professional the men personally indebted state of Oregon at the time file tax is due, and makes tax collectors out of them.

A tax of 4 cents per pound on oleomargarine has been proposed and will be referred to the people at the special election July 21st. The proceeds from this bill if passed will go to the counties in the state for indigent relief. This includes a «5 annual license tee for selling or distributing oleomargarine. On previous occasions the people of Oregon have voted against any oleomargarine tax on the grounds that if passed it would aid the dairy industry In getting a monopoly on If the far- the butterfat market. mer Is able to obtain a better price for his products it permits him to buy more from the manufacturer and in turn the laborer is benefit- ed.
