The conscientious Oregon voter—
the working, delving, studious voter
who does not like to be in doubt on
initiative legislation—will undout«!-
edly become a profound 'authority
on most phases of the tax question
before the dawn of election day. All
who live in counties other than
Multnomah, Clackamas and Cooa
will have eight tax measures on
which to apply their intellect,, to
say nothing of the ¿mail job of
passing on twenty-eight measures
of other kinds. Those who live in
the three counties named will have
nine tax laws or amendments to di­
gest, and also the twenty-eight
miscellaneous measures.
He who would vote intelligently
ought to know something about
the arguments for and against
single tax, inheritance tax, taxatioif
of moneys and credits, exemption
of non productive personal pro­
perty, taxation of incomes, county­
option taxation,
divorcement of
state and local taxation, taxation
by classification, the putting of the
sole power to tax in the hands of
the whole people, graduated taxa
tion of land holding, and possibly
a few other branches of the ques­
tion.
* •
It sounds formidable. It is for­
midable. There ia enough in the
taxation measures alone to keep
the conscientious voter of ordinary
attainments fairly busy from now
until November. The following is
a statement in brief of the measures
that will be on the ballot:
An anftndme-it repealing the
amendment which now gives the,
people sole power to regulate taxa­
tion and exemption« and permits
county tax^fuie.
An amenSment permitting st ti
and county to levy and collect taxes
on different classes of properly.
(Divorcement of state and local
taxation.)
An amendment requiring that al)
taxes shall be uniform on the same
classes of property.
An amendment providing for the
taxation of incomes.
An amendment exempting from
taxation all household furniture,
clothing aod other non-productive
personal property.
A bill exempting from taxation
bills of exchange, mortgage notes
and other credits.
A bill revising the inheritance
laws.
amendment
establishing
An
single tax accompanied by a grad­
uated tax on land holdings, fran-
chises, etc.
A bill (in Multnomah, Cooa and
Clackamas counties) establishing
single tax.
The approval of some of these
measures would in themselves de­
feat others, For example, the re­
peal of the county option tax
amendment, if successful, would
defeat single tax in the three conn
ties where it comes up in county
measures, no matter what the vote
of each county was on the issue.
On the other hand, epptoval of the
state-wide
single-tax
measure
would put single tax into effect in
all counties, including the three
where it comes up in county meas­
ures, no matter how the voters in
the three counties voted on the
local measures.
Of the state wide measures, none
is antagonistic of others except the
single tax-graduated tax measure.
All others may be adopted without
serious legal entanglemant. It is
possible, of course, that all eight
state-wide measures may carry
that event the ones receiving the
highest affirmative vote would pre­
vail as to all conflicting phases.
This result would establish a
choatic condition as to taxation
that could only be unraveled
the Supreme Court.
The thing that the voter needs to
be most wary of is ihr attempt-of
single-taxers to becloud the issue
by talking graduated tax. There ia
no graduated tax provided in any
measure except the one which, if
adopted, would eatablish single tax.
Call it graduated or any other in­
adequate name, it ia the product of
the Fels Fund Commission, which
is pledged to establish single tax
in some community within a period
of time that has now almost elaps­
ed. Its presentment in November
will be the culmination of an effort
in which approximately $5ROOO col­
lected in thia and other countriea
will have been expended in Oregon.
If it ia defeated it will probably be
the final effort of the Fela Fund
Commission to establish single tax
io Oregon. If adopted. it will be
followed by other measures de­
signed tn confisc ate for the state by
means of high taxation all privately-
owned lands in Oregon.
It is the duty of the opponent of
single tax to consider more than
the one measure, however. There
is quite a variety of combinations
to be anticipated in the action of
the people on the eight measures.
Approval of the county option re­
peal and defeat of all other meas­
ures would put the state back
exactly where it was before the last
election in the matter of taxation
laws and constitutional provisions.
Defeat of all measures would leave
it where it now stands, with the
Legislature deprived of authority
to regulate taxation or exemptions
The wisdom of the rule "When in
doubt vote no” is not affected by
the tax complication. But to it
might be added the advice "Don't
be in doubt”
