OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, SEPT. 1, 1911
WANTS TO KNOW.
, W. F. Young of Sherwood Asks
some Single Tax Questions. '
Sherwood, Ore., Aug. 28, 1911.
To the Editor : .
it is with interest that I havl been
reading the different opinions on the
single tax qnestiou. and I ask space in
your paper to ask a few qoestionB on
some of the articles tliat weie in your
. issue of Agugust 25th. -
Mr. U'Ren says that many nieu in
Oregon are getting $40, Odd a year
without doing any labor, simply be
cause they own land, and allow others
to do the work and pay the taxes.
Are there not many meu in the state
who are capitalists cr in the nianu
lacturing business that aie doing the
same thing, and is it not the man
with the money who will be exempt
from taxes under the single tax sys
tem? If the man who has a few hundred
thousand dollars can start a manufac
taring plant and that entitles him to
be exempt from taxes, is not the indi
vidual who can command capital
enough to buy a thousand acres of
land and improve it entitled to the
same consideration ?
And are not the products of the soil
as much of a necessity to the common
people us any manufactured article?
Then why tax the money that pro
duces one and exempt the other? Is
there anything morally wrong with
the system where the individual may
own one oi a thousand aorex if lie
leases it to the otiier man who does
the work, pays the taxes and then
pays a profit to the owner?
A few words in auswer to Mr.
Sohuebel. He says we have not the
same chance to assess laud at its real
value now as under the single 'tax
system, and oites as the reason that
the owners will not give in the cor
rect amount oi en areuiiand. Are .we
to understand that the single tax sys
tem will make all men more nouest
and they will be glad to give in their
property to be assessed, or that it will
ifeup down the expenses in the oounty,
or that the assessors will be more just
in all assessments? he cites one in
stance that made him willing to try a
new plan. In this lustanoe it seems
to have been the fault of the assessor
and not the law, and is it not possible
ior bucii to occur under any system ?
One'thiug more, and I will olose for
this time. We all know that it takes
a cortaiu amount of money fo the
expenses of the county and state,
which we must nave. Now if you ex
empt from taxes all cash, notes, ma
ohinery, merchandise and everything
nut land, show us why we would not
have to pay any more or as much
taxes as we do now.
Iu a county like Clackamas, which
is hilly and mountainous, in a great
many of tlie farms only a part cau be
put into cultivation, which leaves
the farmer with one-third to one-half
uncleared land whioh Is of no value
and never can be except for pasture.
Under the single tax system they say
that taxes on all cloared laud will be
reduoed, but will be raised on the
uncleared.
How much better off will the fnrni
er be who has 80 or 100 acres, one-half
oleared, If you reduce taxes on the
cleared land and raise the valuation
on the uncleared?

. W. Jf. YOUNG

, USE YOUR HEAD.
farmer may be Known
the Stock he Keeps. -
by
The dairyman who has good oow
invariably has good land, and the
man who has poor cows neirly al
ways has poor land.
It is not so easy to tell why these
things are so olosely connected, says
Kimbolt's Fnriner. but a geuoral idea
may suggest certain reasons.
In tli j first place, the farmer who
has good cows usually appreciates
these cows and takes care of them,
otherwise he soon ceases to have a
good herd, for even the best of stock
will deteriorate If care is not used in
handling the feeding.
The man who finds satisfaction in
giviug cattle good care and keeping
them in the best of condition finds
plesure iu doing the same thing with
iiis land, so that the good cows and
good land will be found upon the
same farm.
On the other hand, the farmer who
is shiftless and indifferent W'th re
gard to his land. You will find his
barns in a dilapidated condition, his
house is falling to pieces and sadly in
need of paint, the fenoes are weak and
easily broken, the fence corners are
lull of weeds and the ground is only
half cutivated. His farm is happy on
tne way to tne worn-out class.
Tins is simply the result ot careless
and indifferent farming, no matter
wnetner tne man be a dairyman or a
grain man. if be doosu t have poor
cows tie win nave none at all, for the
best of cattle in his hands will soon
become profitless, and one reason that
his land is so unproductive is because
ne aoes not iianoie nis stock in a way
to put tenuity back on the fields.
Now tire farmer who keepgood cows
is progressive ana up to oace, otlier
wise he would not have cattle of this
olass. His outbuildings are well
kept, fitted with the best oonven
ienoes that can be bought, his tenons
are attractive and well put up, and

with the exception of some belting.
Mr, Myers' wagon was burned and it
was feared for a time that the build
