' In this as in most other thin;s, however, the proof of the pudding is in the eating, and we believe the sensible course is to (five the new system a fair trial, before e'oneludiiif; that it is unjust or unworkable. If experience proves inequalities exist, they can he removed by legislative action; und if no such in equalities develop then all factions can unite on the support of a system, which has demons! rated its worth. At any rate, we believe that any attempt to invoke a referendum at the present time would not only fail, but would injure the cause of sane und sensible tax reform, for maiiy years to come. . ' 'nifK jLilj-tlUHL'XK in the past opposed both a state in M- come tax antl iiitanjihle tax, not because we questioned the justice and propriety of such taxes in theory, but because we believed tbut in ' 'practice ' until Washington and California adopted similar taxes, they would Work an undesirable and nil- necessary hardship upon Oregon. AVe maintained that Oregon the least developed of the three states, should encourage people of means to settle in this state and invest their-money, rather than impose a tax against tbem. We still believe that reasoning was sound. Hut now both California and Washington have adopted taxes similar to this intangible tax, so an argument that was valid in the past, is not valid today. We bear owners of intangible assets arc planning to move from Oregon, to avoid Ibis tax. Mebhc so. lint if our informa tion is correct they will find no relief on the coast, and in only t( few states, including Florida, ami other commonwealth, many niflc's away.
