resale: poultry produce, as sold to
the retailer, or such articles as fer
tilizers, spray and smudge oil.
"Farmers who conduct wayside
stands will not be assessed unless
sales total over $.10 a month." the
speaker said. This exemption was
made to cut down on the cost of col
lection. "Retailers are the oolnt of
attack," he said.
Works Elsewhere.
Mr. Brockway spoke of various sales
taxes now In effect throughout the
country. He stated that the Cali
fornia tax exempts all sales up to IS
cents. purchase at that amount
being taxed one cent. In Mississippi,
where there Is a two per cent tax.
exemptions go to 20 cents, with 1
cent tax on any article up to 70 cents.
two cents above that, etc.
The distribution of the funds de
rived from the Oregon sales tax was
explained by Mr. Brockway, who said
that 25 per cent net revenue Is dis
tributed to the counties based on
the ansRed valuation. This amount
is turned Into the school fund.
As the school census Is based on
the number of persons In the dis
trict between the ages of 4 and 20,
whether or not they are In school,
the levy In the county Is offset to
the amount that Is derived from the
25 per cent net revenue.
The other 75 per cent Is appor
tioned on a classroom unit basis. A
one unit Is considered 27 pupils with
one teacher, and a two-clasa room
unit la based on enrollment between
28 and 55. The unit apportionment
Is made through the county school
superintendent.
Property Levy Offset.
The entire amount brought In by
the sales tax la offset In the levy
against property, which, after July 1
1934, la to be distributed each month
to the counties and districts.
"The federal government," Mr
Brockway declared, "gains 00 per cent
of Its revenue from the Income tax
The gasoline sales tax Is used for
highway and road construction, and
retirement of highway Indebtedness-
Inheritance, gift, intangibles and per
sonal refund taxes may be levied, but
the balance must come from the
property.
According to Mr. Brockway. there
Is now a 2.9 mills state levy on counn
property. There Is also an Irreducible
school fund, which Is apportioned to
the district, amounting to about
$1.11 per pupil.
Pupils Cost $82 Yearly.
"It costs about (8U a year to edu
cate each pupil, and 98 per cent of
that comes from levy on property,"
the legislator declared. "The credit
of the schools la down, and you can't
cash a warrant without a discount.
This la general In the state."
The primary purpose of adopting
the tax Is to raise 5, 000 ,000 for the
schools and to relieve property of that
amount of tax. In the legislature.
he said, public hearings were con
ducted on various bills that might
offer a solution to such a problem.
It was considered to levy the state
Income tax for the purpose of plac
ing the amount In the school fund.

twentieth of the goal, if adopted.
Income Tax Highest.
'Oregon haa the highest state In

thla year payment will be demanded
on much lower salaries. H Is esti
mated that approximately 40.000 more
persons will pay Income tax in Ore
gon this year, than last.
Better make It In the form of a
sales tax, for the wage earner or sal
ary man, for otherwise It would be
hard to get."
References were made by Mr. Brock
way to Industries that would not
come to Oregon, Just to avoid the In
coma tax here.
Invites SURRestlon.
Mr. Brockway challenged his op
ponent to suggest a feasible Income
tax measure to replace the sales tax.
He stated that because of the sim
plicity and ease of collection, and be
cause It would solve the problem,
house bill No. 110 was adopted by the
legislative body. Every other meas
ure wss explored before, he added.
A brief history of the sales tax was
given by Mr. Brockway who said that
It was not a new form of taxation.
for during the past 15 years many
foreign countries have used it as a
source of Income. Twenty per cent
of the gross revenue In Franco la ob
tained from a sales tax, 26 per cent
In Belgium, and amount raised in
other countries were also listed.
"It has been used here on gasoline
for a number of years," he said. "Six
teen states are now using It, because
they were in the same condition as
Oregon. Some were even saved from
bankruptcy by adoption of a sales
tax.
5ucces Shown.
Schools In California and Washing
ton have been aided by the adoption
of the sales tax, and the schools in
Washington have been placed on a
cash basis for the first time tn 12
years.
Illinois and other states were cited
as examples by the speaker, who said
that all had been successful. Among
the favorable features of the tax,
given by him, was the fact that It

the legislator said. "Leas than half

Income tax. Another class we can

The affirmative speaker denied re

the adoption of the tax. Mr. Brock

In concluding his 45-mlmite talk,
Mr. Brockway said "I believe In an in- j

nomic problem."
Rosa Kilns, master of Jackson
County Pomona Orange. Introduced
Mr. GUI. who presented an hour
argument why he opposed the sales
tax. Addressing the largest audience
he had ever gone before to dlacuas
the tax, Mr. Gill said he was opposed
to such a tax In principle.
"No emergency now, or ever will.
come to Oregon making such a tax a
necessity." he declared. "It Is a na
tional movement big business and
Wall street operating In the Oregon
legislature."
Delves Into History,
Going further into the history ot
the sales tax than did Mr. Brockway.
Mr. GUI traced such a levy back to
"ancient Rome, the downfall of
Spsln, to China, the Philippine
Islands. Mexico, and other countries j
that have shown very little progress, j
It Is now coming back strongly." I
He told of attempts to pass a na
tional sales tax In 11)21, following
the war. Millions of dollars were spent
In the campaign. The national grange.
the federnl farm bureau and the farm
union were opposed to the sales tax.
and It was struck out because opposi
tion was so great.
"Big business oucs not chnnce lta
tactics when defeated. It Immediately
began working on a state program.
Corporations are taking a lot of
money out of the state, and this tax
takes the burden off the big fellow,
who can afford to pay."
Excerpts from the Congressional
Record, and from Robert W. Ruhl'fl
editorial correspondence In the Sun
day issue of The Mall Tribune, were
read by Mr. Gill.
Maintaining that the representa
tives of utilities and big business
were lobbying at the special session
of the legislature, Mr. Gill declared:
"I don't know where Brockway was
if he didn't see them."
Although declared the fairest of
all taxes, the sales tax has been de
feated time, and time again, the
grange leader said. The law plainly
etotes, he pointed out, that the tax
muat be passed on to the consumer,
and cannot be absorbed by the firm.
In the campaign opposing the sales
tax, Mr. GUI said the rnllroads fur
nished 11000 of the 96000 fund, and
thst an Investment house contributed
$000 and another one $500. William
Hanley, the "corporation farmer" of
eastern Oregon put up 9100.
Afraid of Referendum.
After the sales tax voted at the
regular session of the legislature was
so badly defeated throughout .the
state, the law making body came back
4',$ months later, with a measure ''a
little different In provision, but the
same In principle. They absolutely
refused a referendum clsuse In order
that it might go back to the people.
"Why were they afraid to let it go
back to the people? Because It con
stituted Irrcspect for what the people
had voted.
I never' saw the speaker on the
platform who didn't apologize for the
sales tax." Mr. GUI said.
Ax a solution to solving the need
for school funds. Grange Master Gill
suggested a revolving fund of a mil
lion dollars, pulled In from funds
now In use.
The tax should be taken where
they can get it," he declared, "in
stead of from thow who are looking
for the next meal."
Bills were presented In Salem, he
said, that would bring $500,000 from
an Inheritance tax, and another which
would furnish one and a quarter mil
lions of dollars from a luxury tax.
"It seems to me If they were going
to tax anything it should be luxuries,
and not necessities," he added.
Although the grange haa never fa
vored two cent gasoline tax, Mr.
Olll referred to a one cent tax. He
spoke of the Oregon Journal's move
to reduce the number of exemptions
in the tax plan from 00 per cent, as
they stood. "Every few days the Ore
gonian threw cold water on It," he
said.
Duplicity Charged.

as well as on the laborer, the farmer,
and the county and school adminis
trations. Speaking of taxes that had not been
paid, Mr. GUI said the people hadn't
the money to take out of their pocket
thst could be used to pay those taxes.
He told of exemptions made "so
that newspapers would not fight the
sales tax." Amusements were left
out, such aa prise fights, baseball,
football, theaters, alao transportation
the same as they left out the pub
lishers." A measure waa passed at the na
tional grange convention, according
to Mr. Olll. which suggested that the
national government turn over 26
per cent of the Income tax returns
to the schools, without any strings
School Allotment Told.
School room unite were explained
by Mr. GUI, who said that the super
intendent turns over tioo to the unit
with 37 pupils. If there are two
tenrhers, and ftfl pupils, an additional
MOO la given to the school, but If
there are 40 pupils, and only one
tescher, there la only $400 given the
district.
"It la Just like placing hay In front
of a balky horse." Mr. Gill declared.
"in order that they will hire another
teacher.

The tax will handicap the mer

Mr. GUI's opin.on. Mall order clubs
sre being formed, he said. He re
marked about the milk bottles In
California next to the cash registers,
where the sales tax money was
puced, and which bear the sign. "A

GUI said, the signs will rcsd "A Penny

"Copeo Is assessed at $3,978,550, and
on a four mill basis, they will save
$15.914 32. This will necessitate their
spending In retail sales, under the
retail tax, a little oyer a million dol
lars." Mr. GUI charged that merchants'
would "chisel on the custumers,"
through the sales tax. A purchase of
35 cents, demanding payment of a
one cent tax. will amount to four
per cent tax, while 50 cent purchase
makes a two per cent tax.
"Merchants are opposed to this
tsx." Mr. Olll said. "They want to
do legitimate business and If once
Imposed, the tax will bring ft depres
sion of sales."
Stating that nearly all the 16 states
that have a sales tax do not have an
tncome tax, Mr. Gill added: "If the
people of Oregon are foolish enough
to fall for that, they're different than
what I think." He then asked me
audience: "Did you ever see ft tem

"The more you study tt, tne more

Mr. GUI said. In concluding hla pre

In his 15-mlnute rebuttal Repre
sentative Brockway said that he had
no apologies for the sales tax. for he
believes that It belongs In the tax
avstem the same as the income tax.
He suggested that if a national sales
tax la to be adopted. Oregon should
be smart enough to "get under the
wire first while gettlngs good
"What we have put over, was to re
lieve the schools, and we did not com
promise the schools to put over the
sales tax." he said. He reminded his
opponent that class legislation cannot
be Imposed, and that he still main
tained "a four mill reduction on
property In the state of Oregon will
be brought about by the measure,
regardless."
The farmer will not pay more tax
than the average home owner. We
have solved the problem ftnd made
revenue for the schools to keep open,
Brockway said.
