TAX TENDERNESS

~ HE proposal in Oregon to
VI climate autos from reg
ular taxation and to i'm
pose a higher annual license
fee is in accord with the gener-
! al trend of tax progress
throughout the nation.
Experience everywhere is
proving that taxes ON personal
property do not bring the de-
sired results. Such a tax is un-
workable. 1t is easy-for per-
sonal property to avoid taxa
ton and it does so. Yhe ten
dency is to replace the general
personal property tax with spe=
icific and enforcible taxes on
certain kinds of personal prop
erty.
The federal government is
getting good results from the
4 income tax and it will not be
surprising to see states adopt
this form of taxationu 1t is a
I line of effort however that be-
comes unjust if carried too
far. It is to an extent a tax on
enterprise rather than a tax on
opportunity. The realty tax is
equitable in that it taxes the
sources of wealth.

The colonel was one of the ma
tons big men. His influence,
particularly during his days in
the white house and prior
thereto, was always exerted to
promote progress and clean

in his persinal life to commend
him to the young manhood of
the country. This is true re-
