Portland Bulnsmn Annoyed at
AIIod Political Activity of

ficial ar Worried.
Becau a the Single Txer of Ore
gon hv been endeevoring to bolster
up their cauae by Inferring and de
claring. It la laid, that th Portland
Young Men' Chrintlun Association
la for Hlngl Tax, there I every In
dication that grave dlaaenslon I
brewing In that Inatltutlon.
II. W. Stone, aenretary of the as
sociation, Is a Single Taxer. and haa
allowed meetlnga to b held In the
aaaoclatlon favoring the Single Tax
propaganda. Stone, however, de
clare that hi loenlnga are merely
personal, but do not Influence the
aaaoclatlon in any way.
Y. M. C. A. Said Non-Polltlcal
"Th Y. M C. A. I absolutely non
political," aald one of the Y. M. C.
A. official the other day. "Mr. Stone
haa hla Idea, but they hive noth
ing to do wltlh tbe aaaoclatlon. Per
aonally 1 am oppoaed to those view
and I reaont the Idea that eem to
be abroad thnt the Y. M. C. A. I
for thla scheme for It I nothing
else but a rheme."
Despite thla disclaimer a number
of Portland business men and friend
of -the association throughout the
atnte declare thnt If the Y. M. C. A.
Intends to enter the field of politic,
or become Interested in tax schemes,
they will withdraw their annual aub
criplUm. Ston May b Huhd.
The fact that the Y. M. C. A. own
one of Portland' akyecraper and
wanta to dodge taxation on the build
ing, may account for the stand Stone
la taking," aald one of these. "How
ever, I want to give fair warning
that ahould the Y. M. C. A. give
further opportunity for gossip over
the state by esiionslng, either whole
heartedly, or half-heartedly Single
Tax or any other political Issue that
should be kept out of religion,. I
shall not only withdraw my own
subscription, but shall hope to induce
my frlenda to 'go and do likewise.' "
SONG OF THE
FELS BRIGADE
BY
DEAN COLLINS
Thla !a tha Jubilant aon that ta mada
Ky U'Han at al. ut tha frit brlrada,
Who put in lusty, ppralstent whacka
Pur a consideration) (ur Blngla Tax.
We rally round the war chest
Supplied by Mr. Fels,
And o'er the voter strive to cast
Our Single Taxer spells.
What though the scheme we advo
cate la one whereby we'll rob
The social tree of all Ita roots
We're losing nothing by it
Chorus: We gloat, we gloat,
As we strive to cinch the vote
Of the simple-minded public
For our communistic scheme.
Though private rights go flooey.
Let 'em tumble, "Hlooey, blooey!"
We'rel oslng nothing by It
And we're skimming golden cream.
We sidle , up unto the chap
Who never owned an acre,
And roar that private ownership
la but a trouble maker.
And urge him on to break it up,
Though "poverty" It spells.
Why not? It means our salary
Thanks to our good friend, Fell.
To those who balk at Single Tax,
We make another call,
Insisting what we advocate
Ain't Single Tax at all.
We call It Graduated Tax
To throw them off their guard;
But called by any name you choose,
'Twill stick them Just as hard.
So rally round the war chest
Supplied by1 Mr. Fels.
In working for the Single Tax,
We're surely "there with bell."
Our heart may not be In the fight,
But still we'll try to win It;
For thank to Fell and to hi "chest"
Fat salaries are In it ,
"Try our new scheme awhile and see
Just how much damage 'twill do to
thee,
And It jrou. dislike It, repeal , It
again"-
Thug talth th iaplent tear, U'Rcj.
