Sales Tax Conviction.
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

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.
