You are still paying enormous war taxes to the United States Government—Now the state wants TO TAX YOU AGAIN! The U. S. Government gets 6c every time you buy 20 cigarettes.

EVERY FORWARD LOOKING CITIZEN SHOULD FIGHT FOR OREGON AND IIS DEVELOPMENT By BRUCE DENNIS, Author of the Dennis Resolution When the people of Oregon enacted a state income tax in 1923 they did so because they believed it was just and right. They believed it would reuce taxes. But that time they had plenty of theory and few facts to guide them They repealed that law in 1924 be cause it was a proved hard times breed er. It cost the people of Oregon the stag gering total of $40,000,000 to learn that economic conditions absolutely beyond their control are such in Oregon that a state income tax drives out industries, rkVVjJU Will Willing keeps WSSA/SO others At from coming 111, in, lUllUUCO, reduces, payrolls, makes it harder to obtain farm loans, and strik es at every home in country, village, town and city. * * * But our state is again in turmoil because a determined effort is being made to force practically this same law upon the state this year. Our people are being asked to ignore plain fundemental economic facts. They are be ing asked to enact on a “guess” that it will bring good times now, when paintaking, honest investigation prov ed that the former tax did drive out industries, capital, jobs, and millions of taxable wealth from Oregon, and a new state income tax will do it again. * ♦ ♦ Oregon is full of meritorious projects that should be developed. Big public improvements are necessary to open up our state, to bring the farms closer to their mark ets and cities closer to their bases of supplies. Wealth un told lies idle in natural resources awaiting the magic touch of developement capital to bring it to the tax rolls, to create new payrolls, new activities and better liveli hood for our people. ♦ ♦ ♦ Since the last income tax law was repealed millions of dollars have been loaned in Oregon by outside finan cial concerns, at low rates, on long time, and with re payment privileges never known to Oregon before. If a new income tax law is enacted, and this discrimination aimed directly at these investors, rates will go up, much of the unloaned funds will be withdrawn, and our peo ple will again face the inescapable fact Oregon needs capital, but capital does not need Oregon. ♦ ♦ ♦ This is no time for prattle. It is high time for plain speaking, straight thinking and recognition of the hard economic fact that Oregon’s farms, her industries, and her citizens desperately need capital, and that the only place we can get it is from outside the state. ♦ ♦ ♦ We can drive capital out, but we cannot force it to come in unless we make it arvantageous for it to do so. ¡Oregon, ninth state in area, is relative insignificant econ omically. 119,000,000 of America’s 120,000,000 people reside outside of Oregon. Let us remember the industrial city of Detroit has over 100,000 more people than the state of Oregon, with its 96000 square miles. Let us re remember that 782,256 people here didn’t make enough to file income tax returns, and that only 311 people in the entire state had earnings in excess of $10,000; that of Oregon’s 5000 corporations only 1073 made enough profit to file taxable repoits, that 478 made less than $5,000 and only 183 over $20,000, including all public utilities, lumber mills, flour mills, factories, railroads, and other industries. ♦ ♦ ♦ We have 55,157 farms, one to every 15 persons, 2500 industries, one to ever 330 persons. What would one in dustrial center like Detroit mean to our farms, our home ownes, our workers, our state? Oregon wants them, Ore gon wants capital and wants to go ahead. Oregon wants to avert economic disaster, and instead wants to offer capital, new people, new industry, opportunity to help us grow. That is whot the Dennis Resolution is for. It guaran tees that no state income tax can be enacted to discrimi nate against development and progress before 1940. It guarantees to every Oregon family that the state will not tax its accumulations when the bread winned dies. As a prosperity making measure it deserves the support of every forward looking citizen. * ♦ ♦ Vote NO! On the Cigarette and Tobacco Tax ( VOTE 323--X NO Shadv Lane Club Room Vernonia Billards.
