.SH ALL SALEM JM X THE STATE J
It is a very impirtant matter and
one that the general taxpayer should
cnot overlook, to know that Salem prac-,
tteally runs the state of Oregon. Tiio :
governor ta a Saleni man, so Is the
secretary of state and the state treas-j
urer. A great per cent of all the em-
Iiloyes at ths Institution are from
Salem. '
It may be that Salem has good men
Tor the places, but we arise to a point j
of personal privilege to state that '
Eastern Oregon has a few good men
who are entitled to recognition. This
great section of country east of the
Cascades is a wealth producer and
pays a lot of taxes Into the state
treasury. Is this section to be forever
Ignored?
This year the voters have a chance
to elect an Kastern Oregon man for
secretary of st.ite. Elmer Kennedy,
who is running against Ben Okott,
.vas on a Umatilla county farm, and
also lived a number of years In Baker
City. He Is qualified for the place and
every man In Eastern Oregon who
has the feeling of pride for bis sec
tion of the state that he should, can
have no hesitancy in voting for Elmer
Kennedy, thus getting Eastern Oregon
on the map and helping to establish
in this great state of Oregon that
there is a section out here that Is en
titled to consideration.
Vote for Elmer Kennedy. He will
uink-3 good.

Oregon . And there can no longer b
any doubt of the danger to the land
owner should Single Tax carry. Sir.
U'Ren and the other advocates f tlw
new idea ay they are only attempting
to put over the "Graduated Tax." but
U'Ren la noled for 'labeling his ware
under misleading titles. He Is very
:uuch like a wholesale whiskey houaa
that ships liquor into dry territory
usually the label belles the goods en
closed. So It is with the "Graduated
Tax." It Is nothing more nor less tha:
the first wedge Into Oregon which will
eventually bring about Single Tax.
Without going Into tn merits of
either side deeply at this time, please
let the Evening Observer call attention
to one thing: It singe tax carries tu
this state be prepared for a period of
such depression as never was known
in the commonwealth. The reason
for this Is apparent. No one will In
vest a dollar In Oregon under single
tax. Every investment will hi cur
tailed and there will be a period of
waiting for the crank and theorist to
either pass on or become sane before
any new industries are floated and be
fore many of the old Industries will
resume activity.
Who will suffer during that waiting
period? .
Not the capital alone that is invest
ed, for it usually can withstand any
strain, but it will be the general pub
lic which is forced to depend upon
business enterprises for existence.
Reform Is all right, bat when an at
tempt Is made to put over Single Tax
tinder the guise of reform we must
necessarily oppose it for the welfare
of every citizen of Oregon.
Wasn't jthnt a storm of some size?
And do you suppose the Progressive
rally brought it on. When the ele
ments take a hand In bombarding even
the Hull Moose movement must take a
buck seat.
