PAGE FOUE MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUTE. MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAT, DECEMBER 29, 1933. FOR SALES TAX IN UP-STATE RE Society and Clubs Edited by Eva Nealon Hamilton Reporting an increase In sentiment favoring the sales tax in ine nonn end of the state, Superintendent E, H. Hedrlc of the Medford schools returned today from attending the convention of the Oregon State Teachers' association In Portland. The feeling, he stated, Is not con fined to school interests, but Is prev. alent among property owners, who feel that the sales ta will bring them relief. The need for reorganlaatlon of the tax program In the United States. with an aim to relieve property of the exhorhltant burden now placed upon It was also stressed at the meeting of the Oregon teachers, Mr. Redrlck stated In an address by Dr. Frank W. Hart of the University of California. He reported on a aurvey made In Illinois, where the sales tax for school purposes was recently adopted. A breakdown In the taxation sys tem was realised some time ago In JUlnola and particularly in the city of Chicago. Some correction has be. come necessary to the continuance of good government In many sections he stated. During the past year the following states have adopted sales taxes: Illi nois. Minnesota, Oklahoma, Wash ington and California. In each the money Is paid, wholly or partially, for school purposes, which Is In keep ing with the recent legislation paaaea In this state. Referring to the referendum pro posed for the Oregon sales tax law, Mr. Hedrlck stated that the question la not one of whether or not the referendum would be accomplished if placed on the ballot, but one of what the state will do If the aalea tax la not passed. No tax, he added Is a good tax. If It has to be paid, but the money must be raised to meet an emergency. If the referendum gains a place on the ballot, be explained, the atate will lose approximately 700,000. the mount which would have been rais ed before May had the law gone Into operation as anticipated, on Marcn 10. Aaked how the passage of the sales tax affected the school situation, Mr. Hedrlck explained that credit was ex tended In the belief that the money would be forthcoming and that school will be oarrled on In that faith throughout this year. II tne tax falls to psss, If referred to the peopla, no one ha ventured to sur mise what will happen.
