TAXPAYERS

Solons Reveal Willamette
Valley Residents Planning
Move Against Payment of
Property Taxes State
Wide Move looms.
PA I. KM. Felt. U, ltV With
agreements being !gncd ind meet
ings called in central Willamette
valley counties, Oregon taxpayers
aav in rebellion against the pay
ment of properly taxes.
Hnring a wavt and means com
mittee hearing on the intangible
tax question last night. Senator W.
i;. liurke. chairman of the senate
wine f 'he committee, and Senator
Isaac K. Staples of Multnomah
county, startled other committee,
memhers and a pood-sized audience
with the statement that the peo
ple aro in actual revolt against the
levy of taxed on property. In meet
ings of the committees on assess- j
ment and taxation rumblings hint-
ing of witch a move h;ive been
heard for wveral days, hut it was;
not until last night that the acute1
seriousness of the situation was re-,
vealed. I
Circulate Petitions. I
'Things are going on in Oregon
that you may not he aware of."
Senator liurke said to a group of
attorneys who were discussing in
tangibles taxevi." The people are
agreeing among themselves that
they will refuse to pay taxes on
property. The petitions have been
circulated In Yamhill county and
they are now in Marion county.
The movement is to he siale-wide."
liurke and Staples said they had
seen a Marion county agreement
that was signed by about 140 per
sons, and told of a meeting held
at Stay ton a few nights ago when
the hall was so crowded that many
could not get inside.
(roup Starts Talk.
The "'argument started over the
appearance of Ileprcsoniativc Al
lan Hynon of Multnomah county,
Chris Bell, representing the Port
land chamber of commerce; ex
Senator Hobert S. Parrel I of Port
land; L. 15. Smith of the Greater
Oregon association; Se'nator .1. O.
Pulley and others who Insisted that
the committee should approve the
liynon bill for a refund of the
nearly Sltflfl. 000 collected under the
intangible tax act that was de
clared unconstitutional by the m
premp court. Several of them said
they favored the intangibles tax.
some expressing the opinion that
the supreme court was incorrect
In Its opinion, but they insisted
that the state should refund the
money and start anew.
Should Keep Faith.
Pynon insisted that it was im
perative that the tnte keep good
faith with the people who paid.
"If It U not done," he said, "I pre
dict that it will cost the .state many
bun d red s of t ho u a n ds of d o 1 la rs
in evasions of other taxes."
Bell said the Portland chamber
of commerce had "adopted a reso
lution that the tax should be re
funded, declaring that "it is not
a -legal question, but a question of
every-day honesty and decency."
Smith exhibited clipping. from
Oregon newspapers in an attempt
to prove that the state tax com
mission had actually promised a
refund of the money If the law
we re h eld i n va lid, and criticized
the commission for what he said
was a change of front.
Bills Questioned.
Bailey said he did not think
either of the new intangibles tax
hills that have been introduced
were constitutional, and that he
would not vote for either until as
sured that the refund on the old
act would be made. Speaker Krunk
J. I.onergan of the house was of
the opinion that the supreme court
was wrong in holding the old act
unconstitutional and urged that
someone Ik named to cany the
case to the I'nlted States supreme
court. If the opinon that it l
invalid stands he said the state
cnnlil not escape the refund.
An argument aroe over the dis
pf - It Ion that has been made of
the money collected. C. l Chap
man said It was held "in suspense"
by t lie state treasurer, hut Senator
B. I.. I'.ddy declared it had gone
to pay state expense!, and that If
the money were refunded It would
be necessary for the Mate to Issue

He could see no logic In "hand

by refunding and then taking it
back with the other hand by pass

tangibles hill. Later Eddy sug
gested that the legislature might
drop the retroactive bill and insert
