Progess in Portland

This piece of ephemera caught my eye at an estate sale. We don't really see cartoonish drawings like this in contemporary political campaigning.

I wasn't certain what the time frame was of this pamphlet until I saw that it mentioned construction of Lloyd Center, so I figure that this is from around 1958 or so.

In any case, it doesn't necessarily matter what side of the tax debate you fall on, it's interesting to see what the history of the debate looks like from a half-century ago.
