LOGAN.
Most of the threshing was done
here before the rain and from re
ports we are much ahead of some
other sections in that respect. We
hear of considerable grain being out
in the shock. Some time farmers will
get so badly caught in the rain that
threshing out of the shock will not
be very popular for awhile.'
The late rain was a heavy one for
a starter and soaked tip. the very dry
ground in an unusually short time.
At the September meeting of Hard
ing Grange, it was arranged that all
having exhibits for the county fair
will bring them to the hall on Satur

giving name of article or variety and

Editor Courier:
In the case of Single Tax vs. Hlcln.'
botham, Funk, Anderson, Shibley, et
al.. I appear for Single Tax and ex
pect to prove that it is not an idle im
practical dream which if carried out
would upset the whole system of valu
ations and work great injustice be
tween rich and poor, but on the con
trary, that it Ib founded on every day,
practical, common sense business prin
ciples that are carried out in private
affairs every day in the year with no
one to object but socialists, and hav
ing outlined the case now for the
proof. Can my friends deny that in
business affairs, whenever people have
anything to sell or rent they base the
price on the value of the article and
not on the ability of the prospective
buyer to pay? When individuals have
anything to sell or rent they do not
Inquire into the financial condition of
prospective customers and favor the
poor because they cannot pay so much
as the more fortunate but if any dif
ference is made it will be the other
way about. If this is proper for in
dividuals or companies why is It not
right for the largest collection of in
dividuals, the government. And right
here we enter the claim that tax is
and should be considered a rent on
the unimproved value of land or a
license we pay to the ultimate owner
of all land for the privilege of using
it and of passing lis use to our heirs
and assigns. And now suppose some
individual owned the state of Oregon
and could Impose terms on his rent
ers and he should send an agent
around each year to take an account
of the improvements they had made
and the personal property they had
accumulated and should charge them
rent for the same. Would not that
be considered a bard and unjust con
dltlon? Why should the government
do differently from the individual,
But the opposing attorneys Jump up
right here and assert that the man
with the goods receives more benefit
from the government and should pay
for It. Is this the entire truth? Are
the benefits of government in direct
proportion to the wealth of indivldU'
als? I say they are not. You will
find many rich and wellto-do people
who never use a court of Justice and
many poor ones that do. Poor people
generally have more children to edit
cate than the rich and good roads are
of more vital Importance to the poor
man far from market with a poor team
than to the well-to-do. Under single
tax the poor man will have fewer ac
res and farther from market and his
tax lighter which is distinction enough.
A bird In the hand is worth two in the
bush and it is better to give the poor
man a chance to buy unimproved land
at a reasonable price and tax him a
little more at the start than to charge
him a prohibitive, unreasonable price,
tav him less at the start and roll It MULINO.

and Regulates the Bowels.
A liver that Is torpid exwlteg a demoralising1 Influence all through the body, It hampers the

occasional headaches and prefers to sit around and do nothing In place of his usual hustling energy
and cheerfulness.
Heroine changes all this by starting the Internal machinery Into activity again. Its reviving
effect on the Torpid Liver Is prompt and thorough. The Stomach and Kidneys feel its stimulating in
fluence. The Bowels are purged of costive conditions and regular dally operations re-established. As
a result of this general scouring of the Interior, functional activity Is resumed everywhere and the
purified blood goes coursing through veins, carrying new life and energy to every part.
