C. C. Chapman Warns
Voters of Single Tax
The people of Oregon who own
land and are interested in the up
building of the homes of the state
are confronted with a measure at
the November election that would
in effect deprive them of their
homes.
It is the first measure on the
ballot under "Proposed by Initi
ative Petition," heading, and the
way to defeat it is to vote 307 X
No. C. C. Chapman of the Oregon
Voter recently mailed to all
Granges the following resolutions:
WHEREAS, the so-called People's
Land & Loan Law, if adopted by
popular vote in November, would
become part of the Constitution of
Oregon, and
WHEREAS, it would make all
farm-owners and home-owners
mere tenants of the state, possessed
of empty titles and burdened with
the obligation of paying each year
the full rental value of their homes
and lands into the public treasury,
and
WHEREAS, by its provisions for
loaning $1,500 cash without inter
est for five years to- anyone who
with his family has failed to ac
cumulate property of the total of
$2,250, it penalizes thrift and puts
a premium upon shiftlessncss and
extiavagance at taxpayers expense,
therefore be it,
RESOLVED, that we urge our
