PGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 26, 1933. BARNES HOPEFUL SALES TAX BILL BE To th. Editor! There u a public hearing lwt Monday evening; before the taxation and assessment committee of the legislature on house bill S8. which provides for a sales tax for shelter tax exemption. The committee room was packed with delegation of "farmers" from the city of Portland, headed by Mr. OU1, a large seed and feed merchant of Portland, and a delegation of real estate men from Portland, large own ers of Portland real estate. Mr. Nichols of Douglas county was chairman, and gave us every oppor tunity to explain the bill. Outside of the committee, only five or six legislators attended the meeting, as moat of them were busy on other committees. We had an attentive hearing and X found, when I visited the capltol the next morning, that the sentiment was, unquestionably, for the bill. I met several of the committeemen and three of the leg islators who had attended the meet ing. They were all for the proposal. They all believe we must have a sales tax and the greater part of the revenue derived from this tax mutt go to our counties and should finally appear on some home owner's tax receipt and not be used for general tax reduction as proposed by the Portland Realty board. They realize the burden of care of the unemployed falla upon the various counties, and they must have cash to take care of the emergency. The opposition. In spesklng at the oommlttee hearing, seemed to me t have prepared their talks before they had an understanding of the pro posal. I think our conclusion will atand, that It is mora a family affair. The families of the state will pay the esles tax and should get the bene fit of a tax credit on tnelr homer as we have provided, or If unem ployed, as direct assistance, first as teller and finally as a measure to assist the unemployed in getting em ployment and homes for themselvee. There will be a Joint hearing In a week or ten days, at which the com mittee on taxation and revenue will attend. When this bearing Is held, very citizen of Jackson county who can go to Salem should attend this meeting. The Information the gov ernor and the legislators want to have Is whether or not the "folks back home" will support this pro posal If It Is referred to them. - If we oould got SO citizens from Jack son county to attend this hearing It would Impress the legislators with the alnosrlty of the advocacy of -"sole-son county for this measure. Espec ially should the county . court, the director of the Chamber of Com merce, the Realty board, the mem bers of the Orange and merchant of Jackson county attend this hearing. Now a word In regard to the con stitutionality of this measure.' This measure was submitted to the lead ing attorneys of Motirord, and they are of the same opinion, "A man's homestead osn he exempted from . taxation." We are ohanclng the wording of the bill, upon suggestions made Jy the attorney-general. Day, Kelly and Dunn are working hard for this bill, and are making friends for It every day. When once our people fully realize the economlo error of taxing a man's shelter, the correction certainly will be made. I hope It will be made In Oregon at this time. I am certain of the final outcome. J, O. BARNES. '. 1 PROBLEM FOR Fl (Continued from Paga One) It may prove ImpoMtble to get the majority required by the Interstate Commerce commission to assent to a compromise. The Chicago A Northwestern eltua tlon could lead to an old-fashioned receivership. Bsdlcal government ao tlon may have Its roots here. Whatever differences of opinion ths Democratic leaders may have they ar united on one thing. They an screed that Mr. Roosevelt shall be given complete authority and re sponilblllty for carrying through his economy plans In the administrative departments. Final anrlyal of the election by counties shows an amusing sidelight. Hoover carried only one county on the entire paclfle coast. That was Benton county In Oregon named for one of the moat active Democrats of history. Incidentally, this li two leas counties thsn Hoover carried In the state of Georgia, Hew York hears rumblings that ' drnatio debt legislation is on the way fr vt. the legislatures, of several west ern states. Specifically there Is a re port that Iowa may declare a general moratorium on all long term debt. Ths financial district Is watching de velopments closely as such action would have deep repercussions. Local business men are still count ing on a shortage of processed goods to bring about a trade revival this year. Normally sis billion dollars worth of Industrial equipment Is or dered each year. The ft sure dropped to one billion in 1933. This docs not include automobiles, radios or other articles for domestic una. Mr. Roosevelt was "shocked" re cently over ths sales Ux. because he has that earmarked for use by the states. Ha Is understood hers to think It will enable development of lower real estate and other taxes. Later on It might become a source for federal revenue also, as with the gaao Una tax.
