Referendum petitions target portage road and corporation tax
Sumpter citizens plan a popular vote to repeal the portage road bill and the corporation tax law. The petitions, sent by Sumpter mining men, represent Oregon’s first referendum efforts under the new law. Proponents argue the portage road bill wastes police funds and raises taxes with little benefit, while the tax law harms state business interests and could injure Oregon’s financial footing.
