A number of property nKKrego

worked out by tho stato-wldo
organization. Success of this plan
was pointed out, and the governor
stated his belief It could bring
results In Oregon.
Meier KirrsMew Points
Managerial form of government
wus another point stressed by the
executive for study by the league
iim well as slxty-per cent vote on
bond Issues and tax levies; cen
tralized purchasing systems, crea
tion uf proper accounting systems,
adequate local budgets, and mod
ernization of local government.
He urged that "Oregon's tux levy
be made the lowest in the United
Suites," and thereby attract Industry.
"My experience during the six
months I have been in office," the
governor said, "has convinced me
'that economies can be effected by
the Introduction of business meth
ods into conduct of state affairs
which, together with the revenue
raised by tax measures enacted at
the recent session of the Iglslature,
will .substantially reduce, if not
entirely eliminate, the necessity of
a levy on real property, for state
purposes.
"iiut even If we were to remove
entirely all state tuxes, the Incubus
of local tax levies would still con
stltute a staggering load on the
shoulders of the tax payers of
Oregon.
Many Complaints
"Almost dally I am approached
by citizens of Oregon with com
plaints regarding wastefulness and
Inefficiency, practiced by local tax
levying bodies, with tales of ex
travagant buying motivated by
political patronage, or obsolete
equipment foisted on 111 advised
public officials through the pres
sure of high powered salesman
ship, of the careless expenditure
of school district funds resulting
In levies mounting out of all pro
portion of the service rendered, of
bond Issues thoughtlessly assumed
In the hour of plenty and painfully
discharged in the day. of depres
sion, uf municipal finances verging
precariously on the edge of insol
vency.
"It Is to combat this problem
that I enlist your aid. You are
business men. A condition exists
In relation to our public finances
which you would not tolerate for
one moment In connection with
your private affairs.
Worth Tlmo and Frfnrt
That condition will yield to ex
actly the same treatment- you
would apply to your private con
cerns. The enterprise is well worth i
your time and effort, for on Its
successful culmlnntlon depends the
future progrese. and prosperity of
our fair state. -
"According to a recent tax sur
vey, the combined administrative
cost of our federal, state and local
governments totals ' the colossal
sum of thirteen billion dollars.
nearly one-seventh of our national
income.
"According to this same survey,
the public debt of these govern
mental agencies aggregates an ad
ditional twenty-six billion dollars,
with an annual Interest charge
thereon of one billion dollars.
"According to a survey recently
completed by the Oregon commit
tee on economic research the com
bined annual tax collections of the
federal, state, and local govern
ments In Oregon Is approximately
one hundred eight million dollars.
"In addition, Oregon has a net
bonded and warrant indebtedness
of approximately one hundred
eighty-five million dollars, the
second greatest per capita Indebt
edness In the United Btutes.
"During tho past 13 years Ore
gon has paid Interest totaling
twenty-five million dollars on this
Indebtedness, und It Is estimated
that before our bonds are matured
and retired, the state will pay an
additional twenty-seven million In
interest.
"Our state wealth Is placed at
three billion dollars, of which real
estate represents one billion five
hundred million, and intangibles
nnd tangible personal property one
billion five hundred million. These
startling figured Indicate that 19.3
per cent oc ine iouu income oi inu
people of Oregon Is absorbed by
taxes In various forms.
(Jovcriiincnt Cost High
In other words, the present
cost of government In Oregon Is
equivalent to a tax upon the net
income of the state nt a flat rate
of 19.3 per cent without any ex
emptions.
But astounding as these figures
may he, they pate Into Insignifi
cance when compared with tne
ratio of taxes to the real estate
income of the stute.
Of the combined eighty mil
lion earnings of real property In
Oregon, property . taxes consume
forty-one million more than fifty
percent. In addition to this stag
gering property tax, owners of real
estate must ulso meet Improve
ment assessments and contribute
in tho way of Indirect taxes.
LaudH Delinquent
"More than five million acres of
the less productive lands of the
state are said to be delinquent in
taxes. A large portion' of this
acreage has already been fore-
closod by the counties and :
moved from the tux roll.
"In our cities, thousands of
vacant lota have been confiscated
by taxes and assessments. This
continual removal of property
from the tax roll reduces taxable
valuations and Imposes another
burden upon those owners of real
estate whe manage one way oi
another to meet their tax obliga
tions and avoid confiscation of
their property.
"When it la considered that
twenty-five years ago the property
tax levy In Oregon for state and
local purposes totaled only slightly
more than six million dollars, ana
that today these same taxes total
more than fifty millions, it la ap,
parent nt a glance that the admin
lstrative cost of government has
been Increasing at an alarming de
gree and that the tax burden is
rapidly reaching the stage .of con
fiscation. Reduce Payments
"These excessive tax burdens In
turn further tend to reduce the
tax paying ability of the stute ut
large, drive away wealth, prem
ium Iho unproductive tax exempt
holdings, hundicup investment and
Industry, Impoverish agriculture,
discourage land ownership, and
contribute to unemployment.
"Oregon, of course, Is not alone
a victim of this tax extravagance.
Everywhere throughout the nation
from the lowest to the highest tax
levying body, there has been a
tremendous Increase In the cost of
public service.
, "The truth of the matter is, we
have been on a spending debauch
and In our ory of extravagance
and waste, we have considered the
public purse, as bottomless, and
public credit as inexhaustible.
Must Retrench
"Hut Oregon, like other states, 1
must retrench and slash expend -tures
to the bone If it Is to ovoid
confiscation of property by high
taxes, and ultimate bankruptcy.
"But when it Is considered that
out of fifty odd millions collected
for taxes in Oregon, less than
seven million is for state purposes,
and the remaining forty-three odd
millions represent local tax levies.
It Is opparent that unless there Is
inaugurated a program of rigid
retrenchment In each and every
political subdivision of the state,
there Is no hope of any appreci
able reduction in our heavy tax
burden.
"Including our 36 counties, 185
cities and towns, 2088 school dis
tricts, 310 road districts, 12 port
districts, 77 Irrigation districts and
44 drainage districts, there are ap
proximately 3763 local tax raising
bodies In the state of Oregon.
"It Is , my hope, therefore, that
our of-today's meeting there will
develop a permanent organization,
state-wide in scope."

ICED TEA
There is one simple rule to follow
be sure your tea is FRESH. Staleness
affects the flavor of iced tea even more
than, hot tea. The only way to be
sure your tea is fresh is to buy it in a
vacuum tin just like your coffee.
The U. S. GOVERNMENT TEA
EXAMINERS found that tea
flavor, like coffee flavor, evaporates
from a cardboard or tin box -that
tea keeps freshest when sealed in vac
uum. Schilling Tea is the vacuum
sealed tea. What a rare discovery
when coffee was first packed in vac
uum. You have the same treat in store
with Schilling Tea. You will discover
what you have missed all these years -a
fresh fragrance new and delightful.
Look for the round red vacuum tin.
