From all over Oregon I have re ceived liiiiilrlet at to what Single Tax really It. Wldntpread and ex penalvo at the campaign In Itt favor fit beon, tkcro It yrt much ignorance regaidlng It. Thlt I propono to dlt pol linrewlth. Blngle Ttx It offered at a tyitem of taxation. It It offered aa a tax ruform. It It offored at a panacea for all tho lilt of tocloty. We are told that under the mnglo Influence of Blngle Tax, the Inequalttlet to apparent In toclety will completely disappear; that crime, want, nilaery, and even phyalcal Imperfection! will vanlth with tho Introduction of thlt peculiar ayntem of go-called taxation. Apptall to Emotion. Blngle Tax appoala to tho emotlont to thote wIiom envy and prejudice are eaally awakened, and moat gen erally, to a clou who are not direct ly Intereated In the clu or property affected thereby. Even Jotcph Kelt, the mult). millionaire of 1'hlladelphla, who la financing the Blngle Tat movement In Oregon, ownt but little land. He ha made hi million from the manufacture or aoap, and under the Blngle Tax tyttem he would pay lltltle or no taxet. Single Tax mean what the term ImDllee one tax tingle tax a tax on but ono close or property, Just one tourre or railing revenue to lus taln the government. Suspicion I A routed. The very fact that Blngle Tax mean a tax on one clai of prop erty should be tufMcient to amuse uiplclon on the part of any thinking man or woman. It thould at once be clear to them that there wat eome epcclflc design In thut reliev ing from taxation all form or prop erty, except land, other than a mere reform In the tyttem or taxation. A tax reform meaitm would eeek to have all who are fortunate enough In thl great struggle for existence, to posses property to nay their thtre of the operating expenie of the government In the form or a tax upon tholr holding. Slnglo Tax Ignore tins principle entirely. There mint, then, be eome other motive In urging Its adoption In the ttate or Oregon, other than a desire to reform the present tyttem of taxation. Object It Apparent. The fundamental prlnclplo of Sin gle Tax It positively at variance with tho accepted principle of taxa tion and It condemned as a system of taxation by all economic wrlten, worthy or tho title. Tho object ot Single Tax, or a tax on land only, thould it once be apparent to thoso who would give the auhjert a motnent't thought discrimination against land. But why discriminate agalnnt land? Let u see. Aa Henry George was tho author of Single Tax and aa his roaster work on this anhlect la hit book. "Pros res and Poverty," trom which all 8lnglo Tax advocate draw their In tplratlon and lo the fundamental prin ciple or which they ttihscrlbe; and at Joseph Fell, who Is financing the pretent Slnglo Tax campaign In Ore gon la an avowed Henry Oeorge Sin gle Tixer. openly declaring ror the abolition of private property In land, let n conmlt Henry George In "Progress end Poverty" and learn what thlt Single Tax movement In Oregon meant. Quotatlone From George. "The truth la. and rrom thlt truth there can be no escane, that there It and can bo no Just ti tle to an exclusive possession of the aoll, and that private prop erty In land la a bola, oare. enormous wrong, Tiie that of chattel slavery." Again he says: "ir the land belongs to the people, why continue to permit land owners to take tho rent, or compensate them In any manner ror the lost of rentr No Possible Question. I there room tor further question aa to what Single Tax means? Can you not see that the object In plac ing all the burden on land la to destroy land value, to drive the dag ger deeper and deeper Into private ownerehlp of land until the rent Talne It taken In the form of taxet. ,Then Single Tax will have accom plished the death of private prop erty In land the purpose for which It wat designed. The ttate will then own the land. Oregon will have pass ed from a state of home ownen to one of tenant. Which do you pre fer? Divination. , "I am very obaervaut, sir, and from the way you winced when I stamped en four foot I conclude you hire pedal affliction." "Say no more. 1 acknowledge the corn." Baltimore American.

Kvana however, tald that be would not ac cept. War I being taken Into the very camp or District Attorney George J. Cameron thl morning, In the strug gle between himself and Governor Weit. From the array or new wltnea- e appearing before the grand Jury, It It clear that wmt inquiry bearing up on the conduct of the office of Dis trict Attorney la In progreit. Thatl thlt Inquiry It going to the tubitance of the iltuatlon, and I not some technical aidellght. It apparent from the tone of the witnesses. These are coming forward with declaration that the District Attorney tnd hit deputlet have forestalled prosecutions In a way which leads the wltnesset to believe he commit teed wilful violation of hit dutlet at a prosecutor. Presiding Judge Morrow thlt morn ing wat handed written request of tame kltid by tho srtnd Jury, presum ably to have him name a epeclal pros ecutor to nil in the interim. Tom Word, Democratic candidate ror Sheriff, who ha been tendered a position at ipecla! agent of the Gov ern r, with plenary powers of arrest and gathering evidence, laid he would decide whether to accept the position when the commission waa tendered him. Governor Weit I confident that Word will accept the office, and la re lying upon hie ro-operatlon In that ca pacity. W. H. Kltgerald, Republican nominee for Sheriff, ba not Indicated whether be will take such a position and until he doet. it It unlikely the poiltlon will be tendered him. Tho real itorrn center la shifting to tho expiring grand Jury and Circuit Court, where It la apparent that determined move It being made agalntt Cameron. All the aettlngi In that quarter Indicate that a learcUng inquiry I being prosecuted there Into Cameron' work ai Dlatrlct Attorney. "The Governor sayi Cameron haa doublecroised him," laid L. II .Carter, of the Lnt dlatrlct "I any he ba treblecrossed me. I have the proor or It too. I have three cases In which we had convincing evidence against liquor men or thl city, and a man who had attacked a feeble-minded girt When I went before the May grand Jury with. the charge. Cameron acted aa the defender of the accused, rath er than a prosecutor. We could get nothing from blm or hit office." "My experience with former District Attorney Cameron in the effort to get him to prene charges agalnit the wil full Isw violators of the Lents dis trict, hat been unfortunate," tald R. K. Ileerle, an attorney of Lents. "I had live cases before the May grand Jury. You can no more get the Cam eron office to do anything against such Interest! than you can fly. I am here this morning to tell the grand Jury what 1 heard aad saw with my own eyea In trying to get Cameron to do hla duty." J. A. Dm n Im r, also of Lents, was a third witness waiting upon tho grand Jury this morning. His statement in regard to the tituatton out In hit dis trict waa largely similar to those ot Deegle and Carter. C. W. Garland, a former deputy un der Cameron In .1909 and 1910, who has not been. Identified with the office for nearly two years, was alio called before the grand Jury this morning. He would not 'say whether he had been tendered a position aa special prosecutor or special agent of which a rumor had been in circulation, but insisted that he had testified about tome case previously heard. One of the Drat moves ot the grand Jury this morning was to go Into con ference with Preaiding Judge Morrow in hla chambers, on some subject which none would discuss. It Is con fidently believed that this conference waa over a special prosecutor to fill the office or District Attorney tempo rarily, until a successor to Cameron It regularly named, or until the courts have passed on the legal points that will be raised.

HE IS PROSPERING Perhaps you remember the time j It was not very long ago. The papen printed much about-, the farmen of ( the west using their corn for fuel. 1 They burned It burned their corn--lor tw very good reasons; to begin with, the price of corn was so low that it didn't pay to haul It to market, (ays The Era, In 1894, and for two years thereaf ter, corn sold in Kansas for ten cents a bushel. In other words, a man had to raise a bushel of corn for the price of a shave. If a farmer wanted to buy a pound ot binder-twine, he had to tell two butheli of corn to get it Today binder twine sells for about 7 1-2 cents a pound. And what la the price of corn? Why, corn Is 65 cents a bushel. Well, back In "9t a farmer bought a wagon of a Hutchinson deal er for $60. It waa a good wagon, and the farmer took good care of It It pays to treat a good thing well. This makes it better, and gives It a long life. The other day the farmer came back to thia eamo Hutchinson dealer and said he wanted to buy another wagon just like the one he got in '94. "Twas a gpodone,' he said. That's why I want another one just like it How much are you going to charge me for It?' The dealer rubbed his chin and passed his1 fingers through his hair. 'Well, now, let me see. It seems to me you paid $60 for that wagon, did n't you?' That's right," said the farmer; 'J60.' 'All right; that same kind of a wag on a little better, perhaps, for some Improvements have been added that wagon will cost you now $75.' 'What!' exclaimed the farmer.' He was surprised, and began to object, and then wanted to know the whys and wherefores or the rise in prices. Well', said the dealer, the material, like lumber and Iron and steel, has gone up In price, wages have advan ced, and it costs me more to buy a wagon now. Maybe the tariff has some thing to do with It, too.' At the mention of the word "tariff" the farmer went straight up in the air. He began to expound against the theory of the whole thing. The dealer let him run along for a while and then asked again, "say, when you bought that wagon from me In ninety-four, I think you paid for It in corn, didn't you?" "Yes sure I did," "but what's that got to do with It?" "And, let me see. Corn was 10c a bushel, and you had to give six hun dred bushels ot corn for that wagon, didn't you?" asked the dealer again. "Yes, 1 did," answered the farmer, after recalling In his own mind that corn was selling at only 10c a bunhel in those days. "I'll tell you what you do," said the dealer; "bring me in six hundred bushels of corn tomorrow, and I'll give you this wagon " "Well, say, hold on "began the farmer. The dealer Interrupted him A Pure Food Kitchenette A thing that should be in every Jiome and there is little excuse for not being there. The advertising agent has made arrangements with your home merchants to place a limited number in Clackamas county (or advertising. If you are fortunate in getting one of the ad vance agent he will give you a due bill book by which you will save the small purchase price of your Kitchenette on your purchases.
