For q while. it looked ns IL there would
Be a food Of tax mattera some Of them
very radical 90 tone, for the November
ballot. But when July g., the last day
for perfecting initiative Legislation, roll
ed around. itwas seen that only three
important taxation proposals had quail
fled for the general election. Mr.
Spenees classification bill, and MI.
Church's bill aimed at banks and public
service companies, either did not get
started. or were not sufficiently signed
BY interested electors. While il Is
doubtful II these bills, had they passed,
would have stood the test Of the courts,
at any rate to the full effect intended by
their sponsors, their very projection in
to the campaign caused q deal Of uneas-
mess and alarm in business circles.
They held out the promise that, If adopt
ed by the people, they would be the
cause of long and expensive litigation
TO determine their constitutionRlity, and
that if upheld in the courts, they would
make banking and manufacturing i'm
possible in Oregon.
Proposed Tax measures.
The three general measures which sur
vived the proposing, filing with the sec
rotary Of state, writing Of ballot title,
circulation Of petitions, shrieking for
signatures on street corners, and other
incidents Of initiative legislation in Or
egon, are:
/. constitutional amendment for sin
gle tax on land values, initiated by Ore
gon Single Tax League.
@. Con Institutional amendment for g
state income tax. Initiated by State
Taxpayers League of Oregon.
8. Bill for a state income tax. lnitia'
ted by Oregon State Grange.
Before summarizing these measures
and commenting upon them, brief refer
ences should be made to the existing ta'
situation in Oregon. Taxes are high
Everyone is aware Of that. Total levie'
for all purposes of state and local gov
eminent in 1922 were nearly five ant
one-half times what they were in 1906
The levy for 1920 was nearly twice wha
it was for 1914. Two years ago the re
cord was broken with a total levy o
over SAL, OOO, 900. Next year it will b
much more than SAL, O00, 900, unless TIL
signs fall.
In 1906 the average tax per $1,000 o
assessed valuation in the state wa
$3.50; in 1921 it was 1888. The fol
lowing comparison shows gross tax lev
les and average rates per $1,000 for sew

The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1922-08-17
Federal Taxes of Individuals and Cor

For corporations, the total income tax
assessed and collected is:
Year Assessed Collected
1918 .s1l,596,419.9 $11,1s9, S07.29
1919 14,3SS, $3.50 13,114,594.9s
1920 7,s45, 109.17 5,5S5, 664.11
1921 2,495, 106.60 Not complete.
The significant feature of the two
statements here shown is that nearly 30
per cent of the income tax assessed
against Oregon corporations for 1921
| was unpaid on Aug. 1, 1922. No figures
are available showing the amount Of
| nersonal income tax uncollected, but it
| may be fairly assumed that corporations
| do not have the monopoly of delin-
! quency.
! Two things are sure about the income
| tax with reference to Oregon. These are:
First-The tax is uncertain in its pro-
| duct, as it varies with the fortunes of
the people. Therefore, it should not be
relied upon to supply any specified por-
| ton of the states receipts from taxes,
much less one-half thereof.
Second-If introduced into Oregon, it
should be done by means Of a conserva-
tive measure, carrying a low proportion
al rate, or at most slightly progressive
rates. In other words, try out the in
come tax and determine by the trial
what it is actually worth as a part Of
the states taxation system.
1t follows from what has just beer
said that the income tax should not BE-
foisted upon Oregon at one full swoop
as is proposed by the grange" bill ant
the constitutional amendment. Sucl
measures would do the state incalculabl'
harm. No state in the union which ha'
a state income tax has rushed headloni
at the system, and swallowed it hook
bait, and sinker, as Oregon will do if
adopts either of the pending measure
in November. Even the federal govern
ment felt it's way carefully and made
tender beginning. 1t is better to pro
coed slowly and be sure and safe, thai
: to act in haste and make costly mistakes
No field offers so many chances for mis-
) takes as sudden and ~ill-considere
t changes in a states system of taxation

No higher duty rests upon the Ameri-
can citizen today than his duty to the
coming generations. The duty is two
fold. It demands that the American of
today foster and preserve the high
ideals of America and Americanism as
conceived by the Fathers of the Repub-
lie, and that he hand down to the next
generation the principles of the republic
unsullied and unstained. But it also de-
mands that he provide a virile, healthy
next generation to continue the nations
march toward higher and better things,
a generation endowed with the physical
and mental strength and courage that
are vital if its fundamental institutions
of our form of government are to be
preserved and the high hopes and aspir-
atoms of the inspired patriots who
founded the republic are to be carried
on to realization.
America today may we'll profit by the
warning set forth in the Old Testament:
"Spake | net unto you saying, Do not
| sin against the child; and We would not
hear? Therefore behold, also, his blood
is required" Truly America of the fu-
ture will be forced to pay in blood for
the child who today goes down to his
grave before his time, driven by a ma
TONS neglect or by the untimely exploit
alton of industry, whose greed blots out
the instincts of humanity.
A Real Problem.
All America is gradually awakening
to the vital Importance of the problem
of the child, and from one end of the
country to the other, there are coming
into existence organizations for the pro
motion Of the welfare Of the children
Government has Joined hands with pri
vate philanthropy in the work Of saving
children. Federal and state authorities
are responding to the growing sentimen'
among the people that America must d.
its full duty by the coming generation
We are moving in the right direction
We must move more rapidly.
America loves her babies, but Their
are nine other countries where a new
born baby has a better chance of grow
ing to healthy childhood than in Ameri
ca. America reverences its motherhood
but there are seventeen other %countrle
where it is safer for a woman to be
come a mother. The federal govern
ment, to overcome this handicap agains
the mothers of our future generation
has invested this year, $1,240 900 in tn
enterprise of saving infants and mo
theirs. Under the Shepherd-Towner Law

Discussion Of PRO-
POSED TAX MEASURES
By Former Assessor Henry E. Reed
in The Spectator.

Every two years Oregon sits up and
wonders what the initiative power re-
served by the people will inspire in the
way of legislation, eOnstitutionary and
statutory. The business depression in
1921, together with the heavy load Of
taxes, federal, state, and local, direct
and indirect, made it certain that the
tax reformers would be busy with their
remedies this year. The early months
saw tax reduction clubs and similar or
ganization meeting in local and state
assemblies, listening to speeches, pass
ing resolutions, and proposing all sorts
of measures to lower and equalize taxes

The total increase in yield of wheat
by early spring blowing of summer fal-

a quantity equal to 21a full crops on late
plowed lands.-o. A. c. Experiment sta

In practically every unit OF govern
ment in the state taxes are increasing
faster than population or wealth; hence
the search for a remedy, or, at least, an
| equalization of taxation.
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1922-08-17
FARM POINTERS

Yield per acre is the most important
factor in determining the cost of grow
ing wheat in the big Oregon wheat belt,
and it is the one over which the farmer
has most control. Farm surveys by the
agricultural college extension service
show that wheat yielding % bushels per
acre cost s1.23 per bushel to grow, while
wheat yielding IA bushels per acre cost
s2.43 per bushel. Good seed of the right
variety, early blowing, clean summer
fallow, treatment for smut control and
right date and rate Of planting, are CIV
en- by the Moro experiment station as
important factors influencing yield, that
may be largely determined by the grow
err.

Stubble not burned in the fall aids in
holding the snow and getting moisture

deplete the soil of necessary vegetable

FAREWELL, IcE-WATER!

Maine was the first state In the nation to 20
dry. Other states followed suit, and the
eighteenth amendment resulted. However, by
making it illegal to serve ice in any beverage,
water included. Maine has set a pace that will
be hard to follow. The reason Or excuse given
by Maine for such unique, and that Is q very
light word, law is to protect the health Of the
people from the impurities Of the ice.
There seems to be prevalent among certain
reformers that, in order to protect the people,
something must first OF all be prohibited. II
the ice Is not At for use in Maine why not eradi-
cate BY legislation, II necessary. those things
which make it impure? It would be Just as
loriesl to prohibit automobiles. railroad trains
or tao old fashioacd horse and wagon on the
grounds that people might get run over by
them, and suffer injuries to their health
There was reason and common sense in pro-
hibiting alcoholic beverages. But there il

GOVERNMENT GUARANTEED
WIVES.

The Turkish Nationalist government is con-
fronted at the threshold Of its administration
with . serious economic problem. When Mo-
manned vi went away he left behind $50 wives
with no visible means Of support. The new
government took over this burden along with
the army, the navy, the postoffice and other
recognized governmental obligations, but It
now announces that times being what they are,
and taxpayers showing signs Of fretfulness. 1t
is compelled to lop the harem OF the public
PAYROLL
I The government doesn't want to hurry or
harry the harem, but they must prepare to va
cate the fiat, as the new sultan means to run
81 on the economical basis Of one wife at
time While the ladies are packing, and per-
haps fussing a little in a fearful manner over
the divisions Of the stockings and camisoles,
the government is doing them friendly turn
by trying to find husbands for them. 1t is will
ing to give them the highest testimonials. and
most unimpeachable references, in case any
Turk who is thinking Of getting married would
care to look them over. The government says
in its prospectus that these ladies were selected
for the harem on account of their youth, beauty
and figure. "They have" says the government
in the official specifications "matchless COM
plexions dark eyes and long chestnut colored
hair" Somehow It reminds Of the United
States shipping board advertising the wooden
fleet
But the Turkish government keeps its best
word for the last. The complexion eyes and
chestnut colored hair are almost irresistible,
but when the government guarantees under its
| official seal that these beauties are also "re-
ligious, faithful and affectionate." the rush
| ought to begin. That is, it ought to if the
Turks have the same faith In government
| specifications that Americans have But we
don't know how the Turks view their govern
ment For ourselves, Knowing governments az
we do, We would be a little skeptical of it.
| Several governments over there have put their
stamp on things that didn't turn out to be the
best. Look at rubles. for example, and marks
And then think Of taking government stamped
wife.
