date for Representative. Mr. Dixon
is a man of considerable ability and

A Vote For Dixon is a Vote
Against the Single Tax
Will support peoples' choice for U.
S. Senator; Will introduce a law
guaranteeing the peoples'' money de
posited in banks, by providing an in
surance fund in the state treasury,
protecting our money the same . as
we have protection against loss of
our property by Are. Mr. Dixon is the
leader of the fight against the single
taxers, who are trying to exempt the
millionaire manufacturers from tax
ation, thus throwing the burden upon
farmers and land owners. If this law
should go Into effect the farmers and
land owners of Clackamas county
would have to pay over $58,000 'more
taxes next year than they are now
paying. If nominated, Mr. Dixon will
devote his time until June writing and
speaking against this unjust measure.
He will introduce a law allowing each
road district to elect Its own super
visor. He will advocate better roads,
better schools, and a square deal for
every man, whether he be rich or
