So it antagonistic Income Tax Law out of existence! ' For it has already lost for Oregon bayrolls amount ing to more than six million dollars ($6,000,000) a year I Arid six million doljlars means at least 3000 families who are lost to Oregon's popula tion in just one year under this dangerous law. sup to us to vote the so Industries lost to Oregon in a single year others threatened These figures show the appalling effect of this unwise tax law which antagonizes industries on which a large part of our growth and prosperity depend. l Oregon needs Jobs, land Market j The IncomeTax kills bothl Vote 312X YES and kill the Income Tax! If there erp two things Oregon needs above all1 others it is ( 1 ) jobs, for her workers, and (2) markets for her products. Every new enterprise or in dustry brought into Oregon means more jobs. Jobs support population. Ev ery increase in population means a better market for farm and factoy products. Yet the income tax law 'antagonizes industries and enterprises. Many au thentic cases are on file where industries MOVED OUT OF PREGON 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 1 Recorded Damage Due to State Income Tax Timber purchasei cancelled or liif pended $18,000,000 Construction of lumber mills, to win. logging camps and longing railway! abandoned or suspended 7.S7S.OOO Other industrial investments can- celled or suspended 4,578,000 One year's operating payroll on foregoing items 5.6B0.000 Pisinrorporatione, $4,606,000 cani- iral.

Many larger concerns who left or stayed out of Ore gon on account of the income tax refused to allow us to use their names because they did not want to be made to appear as tax dodgers 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 is an ojd adage which says, "Business is sensitive. It goes only where it is invited and stays only where it is well treated." We cannot afford to AN TAGONIZE enterprises which other states are INVITING I This insidious law must go It is hurting Oregon! we had planned to establish onr Northwest headquarters in Portland. We changed our plans, and are locating in Seattle because of the adverse Oregon Tax Law. THE BOYLE-DAYTON CO., Los Angeles. Had we known the Oregon Income Tax Law would have passed, we certainly would have bought timber In Washington or British Columbia, rather than in Ore gon. CENTRAL COAL A COKE CO., Kansas City, Owner of Vernonia, Ore., development. We hid planned on erecting a sawmill at a coat of approximately $100,000 and four miles ml logging rail road.

Glendale, Oregon On receipt of a draft of the state Income tax law at our New York headquarters, instructions were sent to close the Pacific Coast branch at Portland, February 1, 1924. LEWIS-MEARS CO.. New York. Read these extracts from letters. The originals and hundreds more like them are on file. Then go to the polls November 4th and rid Oregon of this objectionable law which is keeping millions of dollars and thousands of people away from our state. , Our company will not expand In Portland to lone a there Is a State Income Taa Law, The principal reason our head office was not located in Portland was on this account. BUNOB WESTERN GRAIN CORPORATION, Portland. Oregon. had w not already opened our office there and established ourselves, we certainly would not do it now, and furthermore, we have been considering the advisability of discontinuing our branch there. THE B. P. BTURTEVANT CO., San Francisco. When the State of Oregon passed the state Income tax law, then we believed It best to re-incorporate the company in California, which was done. BENSON LUMBER CO., San Diego, Cat We would not consider any further expansion aa long as there la a state Income tax in Oregon. BARNES-LINDSLEY MFG. CO.. Portland, Ore. We had completed plana and specification! for a . building to be used as a warehouse and offices for a large corporation with headquarters In California, but these plana fell through when they learned of the state Income tax measure. Will do nothing further In this matter until the income tax measure eettled. HOLMAN TRANSFER CO., Portland, Oregon. Will reduce our operations In Oregon and possibly t go to Vancouver, Washington. COAST CULVERT & FLUME CO., Portland,' Ore. we cannot permit ourselves to he burdened with any taxes that our competitors, the majority of whom are In Washington, do not have to pay. for that reason we figure that If the income tax Is to be permanent, we, In self preservation, must with draw our headquarters to another state. M ft M WOODWORKING CO., Portland, Oregon. Coming from Wisconsin, where we have bad a state Income tax for several years, we are familiar with that deterrent to business development, and we, ourselves, as well aa many others whom we know, left Wisconsin for the ssme reason for which we hesitate to go into business in Oregon. ...... .

Sprague River Co., Chiloquin, Ore.; Third largest owners In Klamath County. We had acquired property for the erection of a warehouse when we learned of this law. I have heretofore advised on similar requests that we cannot maintain our business in Oregon if the statute W upheld. TRUSCON STEEL COMPANY, Youngstown, Ohio, W. P. Guthrie, V. P. Will limit expansion to most absolute necessities to complete present functions, a reduction of 65 in program. On account of the severity and injustice of the Oregon income tax law we have decided to cut down our proposed building and equipment project from $35,000 to 112,000, and had we realised that this tax would become effective, we would not have budgeted any additional Improvement at Oregon. WESTERN LUMBER MFO. CO., San Francisco. Unless the law la repealed we are aerlously con sidering Incorporating our Seattle house separately and diverting also to them all Oregon business that It la possible for them to handle. CLYDE EQUIPMENT CO., Portland, Oregon. Mr.'tterbert Armstrong, Western Manager for the Menasha Woodenware company, stated that they were figuring on moving the Western Woodenware Com pany from Tacoma to Cooe Bay, and had already pur chased site on our waterfront. Later stated they would not do anything at all toward a change until they had seen the effect of tha Oregon State Income Taa Law. H. O. KERN, President, Pint National Bank, North Bend, Oregon. Our original plans of operations In Oregon called for an annual production of 200 million feet of lum ber, whereas our present plana call for only 20 of that amount. Furthermore, we had planned on con structing and operating a large Door and Saah Pactory In connection with our lumbering plant, but with thia threatening legislation there ia no encouragement for ue to Invest the necessary capital for carrying out our original plane. We hope that the majority of the people In Oregon will ultimately change their present attitude towarda capital and industry, to the end that it will be a "el come visitor in every section of the state.
