PRAISE GIVEN' FOR RESULT Manager or Equal Taxation League Tells of Help Given Him and Says He Hopes Mr. VKen Is Candidate lor Governor. BT CHARLES H. SHIELDS. . Manager Oregon Equal Taxation League. The defeat of single tax is a gTeat Victory. It means more for the people of Oregon than will perhaps will ever be realized. Confidence is-now re-established, and Oregon with her srreat natural resources but partially devel oped, should forg-e ahead rapidly. The victory meant nearly as much for my own state. Washington. The defeat of the single tax in Oregon will be a great factor in keeping the .agi tation out of the State of Washington. This was one of the reasons, in fact was the deciding feature in my coming to Oregon to fight the single tax. l! felt that if single tax should be es tablshed in Oregon, it would be much harder for me to defeat it in my own state. . I shall return to Seattle soon, ana again take an active part in my busi ness. I shall be ready always, however, to assist in defeating single tax In any part of the United States. I believe that private ownership in land is one of the strong pillars of our Government. Single tax means nothing but a blow at private owner ship of land. The people of Oregon have so understood It. That accounts for the decisive vote against it. It is mv candid opinion that had there been no organization to fight the Fels Com mission in the state, single tax would today have been fastened upon the people. Edaratloa la SerfMarf. The Oregon Equal Taxation League was organized to conduct a campaign of education. We have done nothing else. Our campaign has been clean and free from personalities. Our sole purpose has been to place the facts before the people, having had absolute confidence, that when they-had the . v. vnA wauM Ha rifi-ht.
