Owing to TIE $500 exemption this
year, the poor man or the man whose
taxes are small, will not pay any
more taxes this year or as much as
last, the burden of the increase be
ing noticed by the heavy tax payer,
whose exemption cuts but a small
figure in the aggregate amount of
property upon which he is compelled
to pay taxes.
But while there is slight increase
in the amount of taxes to be paid by
city property, there is a great falling
off in the amount of taxes required
from city property for county and
state purposes. This is due to the
exemption of the 3.5 mill tax for
roads and bridges. This difference
amounts to the difference between
the $41.157 demanded last year and
the $26,424, this year.
Under the prohibition regime and
the new arrangement of things gen.
orally the burden of taxation in the
city of Pendleton has been shifted
from the "boozer" directly onto the
shoulders of the man with property,
to use the words of Assessor Strain.
