Oregon Tax Limitation
Situation Explained
Editor's Note: Thli t the fourth of a series of articles on the tax
situation In Oregon, written for tht newspaper by Dr. James H. Gilbert,
dean of the college of social science at the University of Oregon. Dr.
Gilbert, who la also professor of economics at the university, la regarded
aa an authority on tho tax situation In the state of Oregon and la fre
quently consulted by state and other official.
TAX LIMITATION AND REDUCTION
FINDING SUBSTITUTE SOURCES
By James H. Gilbert
Readers who have followed the ae
rlea of articles so far may raise the
question: How about substitute
aourcee? In tax limitation states the
damage has been partly repaired by
resort to a sales tax.
In Oregon the prospect of a aalee
tax must be very remote. The people
have thrice rejected a variety of sales
tax measures the last time by a ma
jority of alx to one.
Moreover, there Is a distinct reac
tion agftlnst the sales tax throughout
the country. Two yoars ago 28 states
had general or retail sales taxes. Now
barely 31 have retained them. More
over, In these 21 states, 11 sales taxes
expire within the noxt year. It Is a
certain prediction that many will not
be renewed.
The sales tax aa an emergency
measure has much to commend It.
As a permanent part of a revenue sys
tem economic opinion la against the
sales tax. With returning prosperity
more reliance will be placed on taxes
that reach ability rather than need
as the basis.
Again sponsors of the measure may
hope for an lncreaas In valuations to
offset the decline In mil Inge rate. If
the pest Is an Indication, prosperity,
investment, construction and build
ing doesn't seem to swell the amount
of taxable property. During the
proaperous years of the "Roaring
Twenties" assessments Increased from
11,040,000,000 In 1030 to 1, 125,000,
000 In 1930, an Increase of 13 per
cent. Assessments for 1035 are actu
ally $30,000,000 under the pre-war
figure of 1013.
The state haa undeniably grown and
developed but oven under a law that
requires assessment at the true mar
ket value of property, aaspasmenta
have failed to respond. With a den-
nit constitutional sanction for a 00
per cent valuation what will the har
vest bo?
In the light of these possibilities,
how will legitimate fiscal needs be
met when property taxea are pared
down In a Procrustean way? Some
ting more substantial than "faith In
tho future" Is needed. To paraphrase
Burns "Before we ere off with the
old taxes It's well to be on with the
new."
