Portland. Advocates of single tai
In this state are framing a bill on the
ubject for submission to the voters
In the November election. The extent
ot the proposed legislation has not
teen determined by the men who are
drafting the bill, but It is not probable
that any effort will be made to submit
a measure state-wide in Its applica
tion. "Although the committee has not
finished Its deliberations," said A. D.
Cridge, a prominent slngle-taxer, "It
la not likely that a state-wide measure
will be proposed at this time. The
committee apparently favors submit
ting the bill In several of the more im
portant counties of the state, modeled
after the one that Is before the voters
of Clackamas county."
