Farmer To Pay Taxei. Those figures show that 39 por cont of nil tho property In tho stato Is land outsldo tho cities ngnlnst 23.63 por cent which Is land within tho cities. Also that 6.39 per cent of all tho proporty In tho state Is subject to exemption outsldo the cities against 15.57 por cont within tho cities, Tho local effect of slnglo tax within Incorporated cities would bo to block city govornomnt, temporarily, wher. ever charters limit tax lovlcs. This Is due to tho fact that land values usually constitute only a small part of tho taxable proporty within cities and that city lovlcs aro now near tho charter limit. Under slnglo tax theso lovlcs would havo to bo quadrupled, ns n rule, to ralso tho rovenuo now required. Hut as present chartor limitations forbid sach nocossary Increases, thon it fol lows that cities would bo left without funds to inoet tholr oporatlng ex penses. Cities Bound for Trouble.

By Elbort Hubbard. Tho greatest tax on humanity is not tho tariff, war. strong drink, to bacco or organized superstition. Theso things aro all bad enough, but thoro Is a tax moro torrinio than any of llicso, and that Is tho tax placed upon efficiency through Inefficiency. If ninety por cont of our pooplo aro thirty por cont Inefficient, and ten por cent aro totally Inefficient, as Har rington Emerson, Louis Urahdols and Rogor Unbson say, flguro out tho Increased burden that falls on those who aro nblo and willing to work! Tho number of workers who go ahead and do tho thing when thoy aro told onco Is not Inrgo moat poo plo havo to bo carefully suporvlsed In ordor to got results. Inefficiency comes from montnl In decision, with physlcnl wonkness and wrong education as n causatlvo haso. Tho success or failure of a business Institution turns on Its organization. Wlso organization minimizes tho cost of supervision. It makes It easy for nil to do right and difficult to do wrong. According to Fourior, each em nloyo nays for his own supervision. This Is true up to a certnln point and ns a theory. But actually tho theory falls down In tho caso whoro nn om- ployo docs not cam enough to super vise himself; thon the tax falls on tho concern. Just ns In tho industrial schools tho scholar may earn some thing, hut tho deficit Is mndo good by his parents, who pay ins tuition nnu board. In most prisons tho prisoner docs n cortaln amount of useful work, but soldom docs ho earn enough to pay his way. Tho balance Is mado up by tho stato. au nisvont.

Regarding my voto on. tho pub lic utilities bill, I will Bay thoro woro two public utllltlos bill In troduced at tho last session, ono by Senator Malnrkoy nnd ono by Sonoca Fonts of tho Houso. Both inns claimed to bo fnshlonod artor tho Wisconsin law. hut it wui shown on tho floor of tho houao mat cortaln sections of tho Wis consin law woro not in tho Malar koy bill.

My study of tho legislative noeda of tho Stato and of this district has dotermlnod mo that, If oloctod, I shall ondoavor, In addition to the gonoral mattors set out in my plat form to promoto special legislation, along tho following lines: Tho general appropriations of the Inst loglslnturo oxcoedod 15,000,000 and thoro is n crying need that propor systom bo introduced into tho handling of this vast amount of monoy. I shall try to soo that the samo buslnoss mothods which I use In conducting my own affairs and which govorn all good business men, shall bo adoptod by tho stato In conducting Its business. Tho presont oloctlon laws aro tho result of numorous different enact ments passed during a sorles of years, nnd should bo simplified and codified so that whllo prosorvlng tho safeguards to tho ballot the oxponso would bo lessoned and elec tion officials and voters allko could readily understand tho requirements of tho law, Tho gamo laws should ho simpli fied so as to bo roadlly under stood and tho law Bhould bo draft ed with roforonco to tho peculiar climatic conditions of Coos and Cur ry counties, tho local habits of the gamo therein, tho requirements of sottlers and tho convenience of hunters and fhihormen. There Is at present no provision for tho distributing of money re ceived from automobile licenses and a law should bo enacted so that this monoy would ho equitably di vided to tho counties for the main tenance of tholr roads In accord ance with tho needs of each coun ty, and tho exponse of maintaining roads therein. Tho Legislature should memorial ize Congress ton enact laws that would allow of tho rapid and easy taking up by honest Bottlers of ag ricultural landB within the forest reserve, also to give national aid to tho building of roads.
