HARRIS
TAX
BILL
Was Discussed Before the
House
Hale Raises Some COnStitIt-
iOnal Objections

The consideration Of Speaker Har
ris' corporation tax bill came up un
der special order at IL a. m, with
Eddy in the chair
Harris, the author Of the bill, gave
a comprehensive statement Of the con.
tents of the measure, and the pur-
poses for which the bill was drawn.
He stated that the measure did not
impose a tax, but proposed the locat.
ing listing and assessment Of the
property of corporations that the
same might be assessed. The bill, he
continued Is made up after the cor.
poration tax laws Of the states of
Ohio New York and Illinois, but the
basic principles of the measure are
taken from the Ohio law. Mr. Harris
said the supreme court OF the United
States had affirmed every principle
that Is involved in the proposed law
In concluding, Mr.. Harris stated that
the large appropriations made at this
session. demanded that greater rev.
enue be produced He thought 1t is
time Oregon is taking a step forward
in this direction.
Hale raised objections to the meas
ure, alleging that the constitution OF
the state will not uphold such a meas.
ure. He insisted that the bill is le-
gally wrong, and that the practical
results will not be what are expected
under the operation of the bill II il
becomes a law. The people of South.
ern Oregon, said the speaker, are now
enjoying equitable and fair freight
and express rates, but he believed
That If the bill becomes a law that the
burden of the taxation will fall upon
the producers.
Davey said that, While he had a sim.
liar bill, that he introduced earlier in
the session, ne thought the people OF
the state generally demanded the en-.
actmcnt OF some such legislation, and
for that reason IL was his purpose 70
support the bill presented by Speaker
Harris. The speaker said that II will
not work hardship on the corpora.
tions TO furnish reports as 10 the bust.
ness being done, for such reports are
now made out and forwarded 10 the
central Offices OF the various corpora.
tions and all that would be necessary
