The News yesterday reviewed the
political situation in reference to sev
ral of the offices to be filled at the
election which is now less than ten
days off.
One of the ntrtvbt lights being
waged against an office holder Is
that which is directed against George
Quine for re-election to the office of
sheriff. Quine has made good as a
sheriff and because he has made
good and because he has not bowed
down to the brewery and given it an
immunity bath he is made the tar
get their hate. The News a few
days ago related the story that some
of his enemies -were going to tell
about him at the last minute. This
etqry was to tjp effect that t4ie
sheriff had furnished to the. prison
ers in the county jail the product
taken at the last raid of the brew
cry. The brewery made a 'strenuous
effort In court to maintain their po
sition that the liquid refreshment
was less than 2 per cent alcohol and
a non-Intoxicant. From their point

of - view The News caut see
where the serious offense would
come in if the sheriff had done as
was charged. Hut tlte sheriff did nut
ftlve the prisoners the "near" beer.
The News promptly exposed the trick
that the gang were going to spring
at the last minute In -the campaign.
The voters will hear no more about
it for auy effect that such a story
might have has been offset by the
exposure of its intention. Quine is
strong with that great body of voters
who favor law enforcement. The of
fice of sheriff Is an important onf
because the sherfft is charged will"
the enforcement of the laws. Quint
gave offense to the brewery inter
ests because he insisted on bringing
local option law violators to justice.
Just think of it, Mr. Voter, what
terrible crime the sheriff of thit
county has committed. He has ar
rested the brewery and its directors:
And because he did the brewery and
Its directors- and Its paid henchmen
are doing all in their power to de
feat him for re-election. The report
even is being circulated that Quine
is the brewery candidate. But the
sane voter needs but to reflect on
the following chain of facta to know
better. Here they are and everybody
i knows that they are true.
Fact No. 1. Joseph MIcelll Is one
of the heaviest stockholders In the
brewery and was for a long time
its paid, as well as actual, manager.
Fact No. 2. Joseph Mfcelli is now
mayor of Roseburg.
Fact No. 3. Joseph Micelll ap
pointed B. Fenton to the office of
chief of police of the city of Rose
burg. Fact No. 4. Bi Fenton is the
I democratic candidate for sheriff.

(Special to The Evening News.)
HOOD RIVER, Oct. 2G. Wheu
W. S. U'Ren, champion of the single
taxers of Oregon, faced a crowded
house, at Ileil Brooner hall here last
night and told them that single tax
ers in Oregon did not believe in the
Henry George single tax nor in the
confiscation of land by the state,
Charles H. Shields, secretary of the
Oregon Equal Taxation League, lit
erally nailed the Oregon City sage to
the cross.
The occasion was the second of the
now famous Shields-U'Ren debates
on single tax. Shields pinned U'Ren
down to facts with the same avidity
a small boy displays In squashing an
unhappy and unwary fly. The league
secretary polntedout that the FelB
commission was established .to place
the Henr George single tax In Ore
gon and explained that this organiza
tion had spent over $40,000 In Ore
gon for this campaign. When Mr.
Shields pointed out that Mr. U'Ren
had sold all his land and placed" the
money in stocks, bonds and mort
gages, the crowd, mainly of farmers
and business men, applauded vigor
ously. "By this means," said Mr.
Shields, "U'Ren expected to dodge
taxation should the single tax pass."
Although Mr. U'Ren denied that he
favored the confiscation of lands and
declared that crndunfprt tax would
not be single to this nbout ho did nd -
mit, perhaps a littlo wistfully, that
some day we will take all the
rental value of land by taxation, but
now we only propose to take a part
of it. Hood River people declared
frankly that this kind of logic did
not appeal to them and ranchers said
they did not know how they would
save money under single tax, If when
their taxation were reduced, they
were to lose all their principle by
the land dropping In price, as Mr.
U'Ren declared would be the case.
Shields exploded the British olu'm
fa bugaboo an proved by reading
the Vancouver Laws to tho effect
that Instead of there being a grad-
! uated single tax there and a person
j al exemption, personal property, in-
conies and various manufacturing
and business Interests were taxed. He
j was pplaudr-d Vigorously; Evyry
good point Mr. U'Ren made was ap
I predated, but It could easily be seen
i that he lost ground before an audl
j ence which at the outset was with

. Following the recent action
of the city council in authoriz
ing the improvement of Watson
street with coucrete pavement, a
referendum petition is being
circulated here today asking
that a special election be called
and that every voter In the city
be given an opportunity to
vote on the proposed improve
ment. The petition is being
circulated, so it Is said by per
sons who are opposed to the
improvement of the street in
question. The proposition of
paving V'atson street caused no
little discussion of lato, and
prior to Its passage by the coun
cil It furnished food for several
spirited tilts between the op-
posing factions. The street Is
less than 300 feet In length,
and the cost of the proposed
improvement will total some
thing less than $1,500. While
there may be some merit in
the claim of those opposed to
the improvement of the streot,
progressive inclined citizens be
lieve that in Invoking the ref
erendum the people of Rosehrug
will establish a precedent which
will have a tendency to retard
future development of the
town. The ordinance authoriz
ing the improvement of Watson
street was rfgularly passed,
and consequently the work can
only he retarded through the
referendum.
This afternoon It was learned
that the referendum petitions
are being circulated by paid so
licitors who, according to
their own statements are in the
employ 3f -TJJty Attorney El
bert Hermann. One of those
solicitors waB a witness In the
case of the State vs. Bert
Daley, and If was while testi
fying this morning that It leak
ed out to the court that be was
at tho roundhouse circulating
Hermann's referendum petition
at a certain hour on Thursday.
It is also understood that tho
petition does not ask for a spec
ial election but Is so cunning
ly compiled that it seeks to de
lay voting on the question for
nearly a year. Through this
delay, Hermann no doubt be
lieves that agitation of the Im
provement will die a natural
death and thus be forgotten.
With Hermann's opposition to
the improvement the paving of
the street is assured.
