URen today declared un true the statements of Qrant B. Dim. , Ick. Mayor-elect of Oregon City, at the meeting of the County Judges and Com missioners In Portland Wednesday, that the single tax advocates were making misstatements regarding the assess ments In Clackamas County. Mr. U'Ren also said that others who were accus ing the single taxers of unfairness were themselves misinformed. His statement follows: Poms of thepe Live Wires speak In their haste as the prophet did on one occasion. But la all this discussion about ths single tax It should be remembered that there is always a chance for misunderstanding. In the debate reported between Mr. Stone and Mr. Veaaie In The Orefronlan last Tues day, the 12 acres of Improved logged -off land paring as much tax as the remainder of the section was located In North Wash ington and not In Clackamas County. The mistake was not difficult for the reporter to make because Mr. Stone was dealing largely In Clackamas County facta As to errors in the Clackamas County single tax roll now being made. I hare no doubt that It will be found fully as accur ate as any other roll on which taxes have actually been collected. It Is being made under the direction of (J. F. Johnson. Lep uty Assessor for Clackamas County, and the work Is being done by people who have worked successfully on the regular tax roll In Multnomah and Clackamas counties, and the taxes on which were actually paid. Therefore we have no fear that there will be sny errors sufficient to affect the general value of this single tax roll as an object lesnon for the taxpayers of the whole state. in the course of this work hav learned that the Portland Hallway, Light A Power Company Is using and selling wa ter power In Clackamas County that is wnrtn at least i oou.ow. wnirn arood law yers say cannot be lenally assessed for tax auon under the present lava If this water power was assessed on the same oercentas-e of Its real value that the property of many mail name owners is assessed, the com p.iny would have to pay at least on 112 - ooo.oOO assessment for this one Item. Bat the tate xax commission ana tne Assessors are of opinion that there Is so law in Oregon under which water power can be assessed ana tnxea. If this is true, and I have not heard inr lawyer question It. those Live Wires of Ore gon City and other places who are or have Dn memoers or tne Legislature might do something for the smaller taxpayers by securing me enactment or a law una which tne Assesvors could assess water powers. To the best of my know led ire none or in era ever iniroaucea a Dili into the Ler tslatur for that purpose. liut that will not oe true arter tne next Legislature adjourns. It Is not so strange that these men should oe aiarmeo. si any ox tnem are land specu la tors on a small scale or attorneys for great land speculators. The single tax proposal is new to tnem and they have not made a study of the bill. There Is nearly a year yet for such consideration and a fatr chance that they wilt all have a better working knowledge before election day comes. As to Mayor-elect Dlmlck's statement con cerning the two lo-acre tracts in Clack amas County, he did not hear what he said he heard. X have sometimes been In doubt whether the Mayor-elect really believed he hard some things that he said he heard. This Is one of such cases. If he does really believe that he heard what he says he heard, his ability to hear something that was not said is a real talent. All progressive citizens who are watch ing the posteffice reports for business to Oregon, the clearing-house reports, the build ing industry, the new railroads and other signs of growth In Oregon will sympa thize with those timid souls who fear that the use of the Initiative and. referendum will drive labor and capital out of Oregon. It Is not so many years since two very eminent lawyers of Portland published their opinion that the safety of mit of the people of Oregon would depend largely on their ability to get out of the state If the people should really have power to make laws. Both of these law vers are till making money out of their law business tn Portland. Neither have I heard any In timation that the possession Of these navn by the people of Oregon Las actually Injured tne Business ex anyone dui tne professional politicians. Messrs. Hedges, Stlpp and Mayor-elect i Dlmlck and other Live Wires will take new courage If they will Inform themselves of I tre growtn or population ana ousiness In Oregon since 1W2.
