Former OSC
Man Offers
Tax Advice
Dr. William Dreesen, professor of
agricultural economic at Oregon
8tat college from 1318 until his
retirement from ctlve service th
first of this July, h proffered hi
assistance to th Oregon (ale tax
committee In a consultant and ad
visory capacity throughout the re
mainder of Uie campaign ending
with Uie ipeclal election of October
7, next.
Throughout hi long service with
Oregon Bute college, Dr. Dreesen
has been recognized as an authority
In Uie field of economics and taxa
tion, and especially as It applies to
Uie problem of agriculture and
those engaged In that field of en
deavor. In itaUng why he ha enlisted
a a proponent In th campaign
for the approval of Uie sales tax
Dr. Dreesen says: "During Uie past
36 year taxation has been one of
my main fields of study. During
this period I have watched Uie de
velopment of Uie Oregon tax atruc
ture along with Uie growth of
Increased public service and result
ing Increased public expenditure.
Due to high Income tax yield and
Uie liberal payment of buck taxes,
general property enjoyed a decade
of low tax levies. No levy for (tate
purposes has Heen made on general
property since 1033. However, due to
Increased public demand and In
flntrl nrlnm. available state reve
nue are becoming Inadequate to '
meet the demand made upon the
tate, and a broader tax base 1
becoming Imperative.
"I am convinced that the approv
al of Uie aales tax measure referred
to the people by the 1947 legislature
would constitute a constructive step
In the financial history of Oregon.
Were this not my -Incere convic
tion I would not have Joined with
the sale tax committee In Its ad
vocacy of th law."
