GREATEST LUMBER CUT

SINGLE TAX
We have received from the Oregon
Tat Kefortn Aasocistion a request t.t
give space to a column artlc'e ndf eat
ing the adoption of the proposed amend
ment to the Constitut-oa cxemptm-; ma
chinery and manufacturing plant from
taxation. It is claimed that we should
do this free of ct to the advocates of
the nieasote in order that oar reader
may be informed at to the merits of the
question. It i hur l for us to under
stand tist kidd of resnipg. We are
under no obi gations to publish argu
ments in favor of this amendment,
especially as, in the articlesenl n, theie
is f r more ssn-rtio.i than argument
We mill, however, give a few extract
from the article, and comment upon
theni: '
"The single tax would make this lar.d
cheap to ths man wno wanted t J make
use cf it."
This is the same as toarjpetlnta
tax oa money will tu ike it cheaper to
the borrower. It might force the sma'l
bolder to tell, bat the speculator w o'd
pass the lax onto the buyer, Also, if, a
il asserted, tlw exemption of lUintifac
turing plants from taxation would in
d ic .many of tl em to I-wo in On on,
this would to enorinotiely increase Use
valne of property as to U utor than an
an offset for the tax, and the-prow val
ue of real estate woul J be 10 itreal that,
onless the Slate inaugUMted an extrtt
sive policy tb!re would be no use fur in
crtneel taxation.
"The single tax," tay the article,
'would setlli) the child labor oueioo."
Nut to loiij- a mi-n de-ire to increase
their profits. The law U the only wjv
to Kttle that question.
The argument ia alto made that a
irreat proportion of the land values of
the State ia in the city of Poitlaud, and
that farmers, if the land tax in, would
only pay a'oot ten per cent of the taxes
of the Bute. The farnn-r talk npon
thin sort of argument as an attempt to
bribe them to support an unjust law..
They bare no de-ice to compel the me
tropolis to pay more than its just shffre
Of the burden of taxation. They de
tuad that no property shall escape the
assessor, bat that railroad, timber
lands, manufacturing plants, farms and
all other property Thai) be assessed at
its full cah value. If the proposed tuea-
