"She Times does not believe In pre judicial partisanship. Tho Times 2nows republicans, whoso only virtue 5s their political crootl nnd It knows tfemocrnts whoso only shadow of a ftult Is tho mental strabismus that makes them ncknowlcdgo fealty to Bo democratic party, Tlio Times believes, however, that other things bolng oqual republicans nhauld support their party nominees.

TAX IS BAD Alberta Man Writes of Sad Experience in Values and Assessments. (Sneolal to The Tlmos.) PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 30. Tho first of a innss of evidence time will show, It Is declared, that slnglo tax hns already proved to bo a failure In Alberto, was produced today by SIk Slchol, n loading denier of Port land. V. S. .lealonso has written to Mr. Slchol that taxes lu Albertn are alieady so high that It Ih Im possible to sell Inud nt nil nnd thnt very shortly nil tho land will do confiscated to tie state. Here Is tho lettor: iW7 Youkan Ave., Portland. Dear S'.i:- I hive run ncross n ropy of your open letter In regnrd to single tn, and although n non voter was much Interested In tho same. I take the llbert,v to offer some nuthontlo facts and figures In regard to tho effect of blngle tax In tho provlnco of Albertn. I own three raw lots In a rnllroad town there of 2000 population. Last year these lots woro assessed at yuu. Tho taxes amounted to ?40. This yonr undor single tax, thoso lots are assessed at J2500 and tho taxes aro now ?1 IB, Although theso lore aro nssessed nt ?2D00 I could not sell thorn nt any prlco. Conditions nro In n stnto of stagnation there. My oxporlenco of slnglo tax Is that It is nothing snort oi legnnzeu rou bory. From my Alborta oxporlenco, I know It Is decidedly harmful to tho progress and prosperity of any plnco and tho people of Oregon will do well to glvo It no placo In this state. Yours respectfully. W. S. JBALOUSE. (Paid advorrlsomeiit, Oregon Equal Tax League.) (Paid advertisement.) Incss mon. Its solo purpose Is to wnm tho pcoplo of tho stato of Oregon Just what slnglo tnx Ib and what it will do. "I think I hnvo been In ovory civilized country In tho world nnd n great numbor of tho uncivilized, and tho only plncos I found slnglo tnx In successful oporntinn woro among the Hottentots nnd tho nbor Iglnal natives of South Amorlca. "Much to tho disgust of Josoph Fols, who Is financing tho slnglo tax campaign In Oregon, n number of Fols' pnld wrltors nnd workers hnvo boon attempting to doludo the pooplo of Orogon into tho b'ollof that tho monsuro thoy stylo 'grnd- uatcii slnglo tnx nnd which will bo voted upon In tho Novombor elec tion Is not slnglo tnx. Of course It Is, nnd If I need nny furthor au thority, I will simply say thnt Mr. U'lton hlmsolf In n lettor to tho Oregonlnn snys thnt tho mensuro Is n flat-footed slnglo tax moasuro. "Single tnx proposes to tnx tho lnnd-ownor, tho homo-ownor and tho lot-owner out of existence. It Is single tnx. Dy thnt I mean that It proposes to abolish taxation and centor tnxes solely on land. Why. It" Is so rovolutlonnry thnt oven tho Socialists on tho streots of Port lnnd got up nnd nbsolutoly dlsnvow tho slnglo tnx propaganda. "I don't think thoro Is tho slight est chance that tho measure will pass In Oregon, hut tho Orogon Uqunl Tnxntlon Longuo believes In lotting ovory voter know just whnt this moasuro Is and what It pro poses to do. "It Is also supporting tho three capital 'good taxation' measures of Governor Wost nnd tho State Tnx commission, tho numbora of which nro 304, 300 nnd 30S number 30S bolng specifically against slnglo tax. "I trust that nil thoso who nro In any wny curious nbout this, tho most Importnnt political nuestlon that has como up In Oregon, will attond this lecturo, and I nm quite confident In saying thnt ho will bo found to bo a master of his subject." shot oft and tho prizes follow: Event No. 1, 15 birds -1st prize, $10 picture given by W.
