Mr. H. W. Stone, of Portland, spoke of the pro posed change in the tax laws of the state and showed by actual figures just how the change would effect the property owners. Many questions were asked by the audience and Mr. Stone showed a mastery of his sub ject in his replies. To the query whether or not the plan of taxation proposed was the Single Tax, Mr. Stone denied any di rect connection. The speaker said he had little faith in the single tax ever being put in operation in Oregon, but told the audience that the proposed law would provide for the raising of taxes from land values, franchises, rights of way, etc., and relieve to a large extent personal property and improvements. Prof. Schafer stated that it was unfortunate that the backers of the measure should call themselves single taxers, when they are not proposing that system of tax ation. What is proposed is the system which is being so successfully tried in Vancouver, R. C. The next public meeting of the club will be about Dec. 12 or 13. Card of Thanks.

JUDGE GALLOWAY WILL HEAR THE ARGUMENTS Puestion Arises—Will Defense or Prosecution Have to Bear Burden of Proof? With the conclusion of the taking of testimony, the case of referendum petitions against the University will rest until December 5. Judge Galloway, at Salem, will hear the opening arguments, one of which will be, whether the University must prove the fraudulent character of signatures or whether the state must prove the genuiness of those at tacked. Another question to be de cided, is whether those signatures will stand which were signed on sheets not having the petition printed at their top. This point involves over 5000 names. A third point is: Will three or four signatures proven false, on a sheet, invalidate the affi davit as to genuineness of all on the sheet. Parkinson, on the witness stand declared that his only motive in cir culating the petitions at his own ex pense, to the amount of about $700, was that he feared being made the “goat,” if the matter should drop after the Cottage Grove committee had given up the matter. The defense has admitted the lack of genuineness of 2600 names. Over 5000 other names are questionable be cause they were signed on blank pieces of paper, and over 300 were declared “bad” or “suspected” by the state’s witnesses. If these 8000 names out of the 13,715 filed are thrown out, only 5600 would remain, whereas 6100 names are necessary. The case for the University is represented by Regent S. H. Friendly, as plaintiff, and is being conducted by M. T. Slater and M. L. Pipes. The defense is being conducted by Attor ney-General Crawford and Mr. Mc Allister. SOCIAL EVENTS POSTPONED UNTIL THE HOLIDAYS Because of the death of Virgil No land, all social events which were planned to take piace before the Thanksgiving holidays have been put off indefinitely. Several dances and parties which were scheduled for the week end have been either cancelled or postponed. The future dates which have been granted by the Students’ Affairs Com mittee are Friday, December 8, a dance for the Tri Deltas; Saturday, December 9, Sophomore dance; and March 16, 1912, a “County Fair” to be given by the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. November Monthly Out. Continued from first page. mencement at Oregon.” It is quaint and exceedingly interesting. The new comic section—“Lost, Strayed, or Stolen,” which was adopt ed as an experiment, has proved a good addition to the Monthly. This department contains a very ungram atical, sentimental poem, which is quite clever. Earl Stannard has contributed an unusual lib of verse,—an imitation of Swinburne. This was a difficult un dertaking, and the results merits spe cial commendation. Mr. Raymond wrote a long, com prehensive essay on Alchemy. This is included in the engineering depart ment. A description of some regions in Switzerland was well handled by Miss Helen Meredith. She drew from her personal observation and exper ience in writing this article we are told.
