TAX SITUATION IN
An enlightening discussion of
Oregon's tax situation was pre
sented at the Tuesday luncheon
meeting of Medford Rotary club
by Earl Snell, secretary of state.
Mr. Snell spoke at the Hotel
Medford before an audience
comprising Rotarians and mem
bers of local service clubs
"With the national debt moun
ting steadily and likely to reach
the staggering total of ISO bil
lion dollars, there is greater
need than ever before for more
economy and efficiency In local
and state government." Secre
tary Snell said. "There are. with
in sight at this time, many new
taxes which will make serious
demands upon the income of the
average citizen. Among these
taxes will be increased levies
on Income, possible national
sales taxes, etc. State and local
taxes must be cut to the bone if
these federal taxes are to be
met," he warned.
Mr. Snell briefly outlined the
financial condition of the state.
reminded his audience that the
state's bonded indebtedness had
been sharply reduced, that state
highway bonds have been re
duced to 11 million dollars and
that motor vehicle income reach
ed a new all-time high in 1041.
The change from calendar to
fiscal year brings an added bur
den on taxpayers at this time,
he said.
Public officials must lessen
the tax burden right now so that
loyal and patriotic citizens will
be financially able to bear the
burden of federal taxation so
vital to the prosecution of the
war, Snell emphasized.
In his Introductory remarks
the speaker warned of greater
sacrifices on the part of the pub
lic if victory in the war Is to
be achieved. "We can now see
the light of victory but I! will
not be an easy task to achieve
It."
In reminding that war sacri
fices "would reach into every
home," Secretary of State Snell
cited as immediate factors af
fecting the economy of the state
and nation the change from
peace production to war output,
priorities, transportation, war
financing, mounting taxes and
restricted maikets.
Conservative use of automo
biles was urged by Mr. Snell as
a factor in civilian morale and
an instrument of greater effic
iency in business and civilian
defense work. Slow speed and
regulnr checking of inflation
will increase the mileage of good
tires several thousand miles, he
stated. Snell, a member of the
five man highway traffic advis
ory committee of the war de
partment, is considered an au
thority in matters pertaining to
traffic.
Following the Rotary club
meeting, Mr. Snell visited
friends in this city and inspec
ted the newly opened "Snell for
Governor" headquarters at 3J
South Riverside avenue.
