BEN'S SECOND LETTER.
Some days ago the newspapers of
Oregon were favored by letters from
Ben Sailing, of Portland, asking them
what they thought of the matter of
Ins being a candidate for U. S. Sena
tor, and letting Jonathan Bourne slip
back to the once was-ers.
Ben went on to state he was a Pro-
gresslvo, and the typewriter spelled It
with a capital "P," that he was for
the "dear people" first, last and the
most of the time and if elected well,
I don't remember that he promised
anything out of the usual. He simply
was a Progressive and wanted to know
i the Courier would go down the line
with him.
You fellows all cot the same letter,
and you remember what he said and
a lot he didn t say.
But February 6 he sent out another
letter. This one wasn't for general
circulation It was less promiscuous
and was sent to the Republican edi
tors.
The Courier didn't get one that Is
Ben didn't put us on the list, but a
Republican editor did he sent his on
This letter Mr. Selling wrote on
the letter head of the "Taft Campaign
Committee," and you can't find any
thing that looks like a capital "P" In
It.
It looks very much as if Ben had
back-alidden, had fallen from Progress
lve grace, and was now just a regular
old stand-pat Republican politician
with a desire.
Here's the letter. You see if you
can find In It anything Oregon stands
for:
''This committee has started the
campaign for making President Taft
the nominee of Oregon Republicans
at the April primaries Can we count
on the support of your paper?
. "I will be glad to send you either
copy or plate matter If you will kindly
let me know which you prefer. I wish
I could promise paid advertising dur
ing the Primary Campaign, but there
is no appropriation yet. Should there
be any funds available later, the pa
pers that help the Taft candidacy will
not be overlooked.
"The Taft Campaign Committee
looks to the Republican papers of
Oregon to lead the fight and we urge
you to help in every way to carry the
Primary Election for President Taft.
We believe the continued prosperity
' of the country demands his re-election.
Oregon has never prospered as
during his administration and we look
forward hopefully to four years more
of Republican rule.
"It will be very gratifying to this
committee If we can depend upon your
support. I will appreciate it if you
will answer at once, using the en
closed envelope.
"Faithfully youra,
"BEN SELLING,
"Chairman."
STAY AWAY FROM OREGON
Less than a month ago the Portland
Journal declared In an editorial there
were 7000 men in that city looking for
work. '
And now when the Central Labor
Council sends warnings back east for
workmen to stay away from Portland,
the Journal strings out a long editor
ial denouncing them for so doing, and
asking them a lot of siily questions
as to where the laboring men shall go
if not co Portland.
The labor council did just the right
thing ut the right time in warning
eastern workmen to stay away from
the coast.
It is not flattering to Portland to ad
vertise that men are starving there.
nor Is it good business for the rail
roads which expect to dump In car
loads of eastern men next month, but
it is the truth, and It Is business
There Is nothing the matter with
the Villiimette Valley, but men can1
live on climate. It won't pay the rent
or put fat on the ribs.
There are simply more men than
Jobs here ,and whether New York and
Chicago are in the same condition or
not doc-Mi t cut any ice here and does
n't make any more work In Portland
It's a good town to stay away from If
you want a job and haven't money
the bent place In the world to stay
away from and eastern people should
have it pounded into them by posters
on every corner.
It's all rot and nonsense to pleach
about men crowding the cities when
there is so much idle land in the coun
try.
There rre thousands of men tramp
ing up tiui cown tins vaney wno
couldn't buy a bushel of spuds off a
ranch if a warrantee deed went with
the tubers.
No use to talk cheap land to a
cheaper man. No use to tell a man
to go buy a farm when he couldn't
buy a grub hoe or get credit for an
ax.
Oregon wants men with money to
come here and pick up the opportuni
ties we fall over.
Oregon has but seven people to the
square mile and has opportunities for
thousands more, but it doesn't want
any more men to come here who
couldn't buy a square meal to start on.
ONLY RASCALS NEED FEAR
DO YOU KNOW?
Get right down to cases, blow away
the noise, and tell me where Roose
velt stands today on the Issues that
the people are vitally interested in.
Do you. know where he stanus on
the tariff reduction matter? Does he
come out like LaKollette, Wilson and
Clark and state what his views are
Do you know where ho stands on
the currency reform matter, on tne
Aldilch "Central Bank" plan?
Did he take any stick either side on
the reciprocity Issue between vlds
country and Canada, and did you ever
know whether he was for or against
the question?
Roosevelt Is against arbitration, be
cause Taft is for it, mid he Is against
the Shormun law for the same reason.
And further than these, does he stand
for much of anything?
Isn't it much a case of Big Nolso?
"I am Rrcully in (Mirnesl, in my
efforts Id secure needed good
roads legislation.
"If uli good roads legislation

goniun supporting the bills.
"II, is foolish to speak of build
ing up a political machine, as I
liavo no usee for such a machine
1 am not trying to perpetuate
myself in otllce. I urn trying
to get out of otllce.
President Taft only opposes the re
call as applied to judges.
It's a good scheme to recall an at
torney general, a secretary of state or
mayor of a city, but touch not the
judicial robe.
That's a great stand, In view of the
rottenness of the trust prepared de
cisions that have been forced onto
the people during the past five years,
You know that the trusts' only hope
now Is in buying legislators and con
trolling courts and you know that the
only way the people are going to get
Justice :s by serving notice on the men
who are supposed to give It that if
they fail they will tear their robes
off them.
There Is nothing dangerous or wrong
with the recall and only rascals need
fear it.
OLCOTT HAS MADE GOOD.
I note that Ben W. Olcott Is a can
didate for secretary of state to suc
ceed himself, and one of the best en
dorsements for him is that the "old
guard"' Republicans are against him.
Olcott has made good as secretary
of Btate and the people generally be
lieve in him believe in his dead hon
esty of purpose and In his ability to
do things.
Ills slogan is every bit to the point:
"Results talk. My record Is before
you. Believe in the Oregon system."
Mr. Olcott'B long training has par
ticularly fitted him for the work he
has and his administration has been
noticeably free from criticism.
The papers are determined to have
George C. Brownell, of this city, a can
didate for congress, to succeed Con
gressman Hawley, whether Mr. Brown
ell knows It or not, and the dispatches
Irom this city to the Portland dailies
say that at a speech he will make In
Salem the 22nd of this month he will
announce thnt he Is either In the race
or refuses to enter. Should Mr. Brown
ell decide to "go," our present repre
sentative would certainly know ho
und been In some horse race.

DOWN WITH SINGLE TAX
Oregon City, Route No. 2,
Feb. 8th.
EDITOR COURIER: In your issue
of the 2nd inst. I find a short editor
ial on single tax, that I took a good
deal of Interest in. Now you know
that in making good those exemptions
which you call deficits, that there will
be no deficits, and there will be no
surplus. You say "don't worry friend",
the books show a surplus somewnere
for every deficit." The books won't
show anything of the kind. The books
will simply show the value placed on
different tracts of land by the asses
sors, and also the values placed on wa-
er powers, right of ways, franchises,
etc., and what you term your "sur
plus," would simply be the power that
the law would give the courts to levy
just as many mills on the assessed
valuation of the property, as would be
necessary, to raise the required reve
nue, and when' you exempt perhaps
one-naif of all the assessible property
In the state or county from taxation,
your levy on the remaining valuation
(unless the aj (unless the assessment
was materially raised) would run up
to 5 or 6 per cent very likely on ac
count of the great cost of building
roads throughout the counties and
state, which we have good reasons to
expect will soon begin. Now if you
release all this great wealth from tax
ation, just on the eve of , this heavy
state and county road-building, where
is the poor man and his family, (that
have been working and saving for
years, to get enough ahead to buy 75
or 80 acres of land to make a home
of,) going to get off at? I know men
that have worked and saved for years
to get them a home and then finally
found a piece of wild land that suited
them, that they could get hold of by
paying part down and paying interest
on the balance, and paying it as they
could. Now, I am an old farmer, and
know pretty near every crook and
turn about farming, but I am going
to ask you a question that I don't
know how to answer. Can you tell
me by what process a man can take a
pitce of wild land on those conditions,
(even If he has money enough to pay
half down on the land), and make a
living for his family, pay his interest
as it becomes due, and pay such taxes
as he would very probably have to
pay in this state for the next genera
tion anyhow, and pay for his place
and save it? And do you think that
you would find many men that would
be willing to risk such an undertak
ing? And another thing I wan par
ticularly to call your attention to,
while we are at it don t you know
that this money that the poor man
pays for this wild land represents the
product of his labor for years? And
why should his investment be re
quired to pay such a heavy tax and
all other kinds of property, and Im
provements, (which only represent
the product of labor, the same as the
poor mans money did, whicn ne
bought that piece of wild land with)
be exempt from taxation?
I don't want you or anybody else to
think, from the above remarks, that
I am In favor of exempting the pro
ducts of labor from taxation, for
am not.
If all the wealthy people in the
State of Oregon could pass through
the next 40 or 50 years, while till
heavy road expense of the state and
counties is going on, without paying
any taxes on anything only just what
little land they wanted to hold on to,
and have the entire revenue of the
state and counties taken from land
assessments, they surely should not
complain of hard times. Now, I don
want 10 be ungentlemanly or disre
spectful, but It does seem to me like
man is justified in using pretty
strong language in opposition to such
an attempt to bring a large class of
our people into a condition of servi
tude and bondage. There are other
ways to secure the desired results
without adopting such a law as tnis

As punishments are simply human

THAT DOLLAR BILL.
A Poem and a Moral for Oregon
City Merchants to Heed.
A rancher near O. C. lives,
And about three years ago
He cam s to town one dav to spend
Some of his hard-earned "dough.''
Ana in a merry jest, and just
To show his printing skill.
He penned his initials on
A bran new d-o-l-l-a-r b-i-1-1.
He spent it that self-same dav
In an O. C Grocer's store.
And thought 'twas gone forever then,
And he d see It never more.
But long before the year rolled by
tie. went 10 town to nil,
A grocer's order, (eggs) and received
Once more he spent that dollar bill
Once more he spent that dollar bill
At L. Adams' store,
Where 'twould come back to 'self
And friends, o'er and o'er, and o'er.
Four times in two years it came back,
As some bad pennies will.
And each time he'd go to O. C. and
spend
That marked one d-o-I-l-a-r b-i-1-1.
If O. C. merchants were wise that dol
lar
Might be in O. C. now today,
But he read a Portland a-d-v,
And then sent It away.
The people who received It then,
I know have got it still,
For to a Portland business hou3e
He Bent his d-o-l-l-a-r b-i-1-1.
No more will that marked dollar turn
Into our merchants' hands,
And never more that dollar pay
The farmer put It where It never can leton Spend $5000 Annually
Its work in our town fulfill;
The farmers will bring living death
To our merchants with their d-o-l-l-a-r

A dozen large nails planted among

cause the oxidation of the Iron and
the sap carries ferruginous salts
through all the living cells and circu

Not many years ago one of the sights
of a certain French cemetery was a
tree, half green, half rust colored, lux
uriantly leaved upon both Bides and
in flourishing condition. When the tree
died and preparations were made for
an examination of its roots It was al
most Impossible to exhume It When
all the ground around It was loosened
and the roots were exposed it was
found that the tree when a snppllng
had clasped its young roots around the
baste of nn iron balustrade encircling
a tomb. The roots of the tree had run
In and out between the iron bars of
the fence. Exactly half of the tree
had come in contact with the Iron, and
that half put forth a growth luxuriant
ly leaved In rusty brown. The half
that had not touched the iron devel
oped a growth of normal coloring.
