TAX BURDEN MUST
CEASE SAYS PIERCE

PORTLAND, Oct. 12.-Preaching
the doctrine of lower taxes, insisting
that public money is being spent on a
lavish scale. and warning that the time
has come when the governmental ma
chinery must put on the brakes or
skid into bankruptcy, Waiter NJ.
Pierce, democratic candidate for gov
ernor, made his first Portland address
of the campaign before the Jackson
club, at its meeting at the library
Tuesday night.
The room in which the club holds
it's meetings was too small for the oc-
casion and those who came to hear the
candidate filled it to standing room,
packed the entrance way and over
flowed into the hall.

during the early part of his speech,
'to turn over "a new leaf in Oregon
And, If l am elected in
November, l am going to be the gov
ernor. Nobody is going to walk into
the office and tell me whom to ap-
point or how to run the office. l will
act with just one object in view-the
public interest.
Il wonder why so much objection is
being raised by certain men to my be-
ing elected governor? They tell you
l would not be able to legislate or pass
laws. Then why all the worry? Why
are the banks putting up so much
money to defeat me? 1 am not going

Taxation will be the issue with me

ably among the people who pay them.
There are other important issues in

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1922-10-12

The speaker then showed his audi
ence the heavy and disproportionate
direct tax of oregon in comparison
with the other states of the Union,
population and wealth considered, and
also pointed out the overwhelmingly
bonded debt, taking
his figures from the data gathered by
the tax investigating committee of
which he is a member. He pointed
out that Oregon had direct tax of
$1,000, 900 as against $1,6O0,00 in the
state of Minnesota, and gave many
other illustrations of similar import.
How do they get along with so
little in big state like Minnesota? 2"
Pierce asked. "They say that when
iron ore is taken out of the masaba
ore fields so much a ton shall be paid
into the state treasury. That is the
severance tax. Other states provide
that the transportation lines and pub
lie utilities Shall pay a proportion of
their gross incomes to the state for
state purposes. That is the gross
earnings tax. / am not saying that
