FAIR TAX
GETS BUT
MENTION
Olcott's Only Request
on Exposition Levy
Is That Special Elec-
tion Be Avoided.

Opposition to any attempt at
the enactment OF income tax legis-
lation at the special legislative ses-
sion IS voiced by the members OF
the committee on tax investigation
in a letter received by Governor
Olcott,
While the committee Is OF the
opinion that properly drafted in
come tax law offers the ultimate
solution OF the states tax prob
lem, it has not yet had time to
draft bill covering the subject
and does not believe that any at
tempt should be made to enact leg
islation of such complicated NJ
ture at a short session such as th0
special session Ia supposed to be.
Have Studied Problem.
The committee on tax investiga,
tion, provision for which was made
by the regular session OF 1921.
was named by Governor ()lcott
soon after adjournment Of that
session for the purpose Of shry-
Ing the states taxation problems
with view to offering solution
to the regular session OF 1923. The
committee is composed of I. fh
Day, Portland. chairman; Henry
p. Reed, Portland, vice chairmans
Coe A. McKenna, Portland, secra.
tary; Walter M. Pierce, LaGrandec
c. s. Chapman, Portland; CharlIis
A. Brand, Roseburg, and n. N.
Smith, Lakeview.
"Your committee has been en-
gagged In an exhaustive study Of
the tax problems affecting the
state today, to the end that corr
structive recommendatlons may Ne
suggested, substantiated by the
best thought and most scientific
solution of such problems" the
letter OF the committee to the gors
ernor reads.
Requests Relay.
1t has been and Is the opinioGi
OF your committee that any rect
concentrations must be well
thought out. sound and productive
OF permanent benefit to the state
and Its subdivisions, and that such
recommendations cannot be made
until the investigation now under
way and the hearings contemplate
ed have been completed.
Your committee is making a
careful and thorough study Of the
state income tax and is at present
unanimous in the opinion that an
income tax scientifically prepared,
carefully devised In the light Of
its application to all classes OF
citizens, with due reference to
property taxes now In force. and
with the proper machinery for ef-i
fective administration Is the best
solution for redistributing the tax
burden.
This committee will have nd
further report to present prior to
or during the special session OF ths
Oregon legislature which will con-
vene December 10, 1921, and II Is
our sincere hope that no attempt
will be made at the short session
to enact complicated tax laws such
as an income tax which II pre-
sented now must be hastily drawn
and not properly considered

however, the Italians have shown
a tendency to make every reason
able concession In the interest OF
harmony.
Confusion Exists.
Although never made public, the
American capital ship proposal for
France and Italy is known to have
been In the shape OF actual propos-
ed tonnage to be reduced to the
form of an expressed ratio. AS a
consequence there was some con-
fusion over today's unofficial dis
patches from Paris quoting ratio
figures.
Once, there is. an agreement
among the five powers as to the
capital ship ratio, the next big
question will relate to submarines,
In that field sharp difference OF
opinion Is developing, but there is
general feeling that 1t will not
be permitted in any way to inter-
fere with the underlying agree
ment on ratio.
In some quarters 1t is expected
that a plenary session OF the con-
ference will be held as soon as
there Is a ratio agreement, per-
haps in a few days, at which the
definite five power plan will be
/ formally announced and an oppor-
tunity will be given for public ex-
preston OF views as to submarines.
Great Britain desires to present
her plea for abolition OF the sub
marine while French and Amerl-
can naval experts are knows to
favor comparatively large sub
marine tonnage.
Expect Plan to Stand.

II is not anticipated that there
will be necessary any important
revision Of the ten year naval holi-
day plan. Nor is It believed that
the airplane carriers allotments
will cause difficulty. although ia
pan has indicated a desire for
more tonnage under this heading
than the 5-5-3 ratio plan would
contemplate.
