Maple Lane, Ore.
Editor Courier:
The big posters announce that
the Fourth of July is coming ar
, ound about the usual lime of the
, year, and this reminds me o f a
funny little dispute I got into
when a boy. with another boy.
I held that we celebrated the
Fourth because Washington
cut down a cherry tree on that
day, and tha other kid held it was
because George told the Duke of
Wellington I cannot tell a lie
The Duke thought it some rellec-
tion on himself, being differently
situated, that brought on the rev
olution, so after we had told one
another what little regard we had
for each others' knowledge, we
agreed to leave the matter to be
decided by a kid who had just
come home from high school on a
vacation. The referee told us the
great day was put m the almanacs
in honor of Julius Caesar; that
Julius was a poor boy working his
way through high school by doing
chores for Mark Anthony, and be
ing a very bright boy he learned
rapidly. He was told he must not
go across the Rubicorn, a large
river between where they, lived
and tho main part of the town.but
he fooled the folks one evening by
swimming across, something no
one had ever done before. It was
getting dark already, so in order
to llnd out if any of the high
school boys were around ho gave
the class yell "Voni, voci, vedi."
Having learned Latin in high
school he know what that meant.
It meant "I've got them going."
Cicero heard it and answered "E
pluribus unum," which moans "I
am wid you." Then they found
other school boys and took in the
town, and for this the Fourth was
put in the month of July. Ho also
told us that it was at about this
time that Helen moved from Troy
to Paris, because she liked a warm
climate, and this pleased an old
schoolmate named Hill Shakes
peare, so he wrote a poom called
"Hiawatha," telling all about it.
A neighbor who had a nephew
going away to high school tells
me that the dates are about
right, but that I place tho accent
on the wrong syllable. As I never
read any history but the common
school kind I may maKe some mis
takes. In these I road that a num
ber of men took a shipload of tea
and threw it into a swimming
pool used by codfish, and all be
cause they objected to paying a
tax on the lea.
I don't know if those men be
lieved in singlo tax or not, but I
always thought they did not want
any tax at all. Tho history hold
these men up as heroos, although
f.hey destroyed property which be
longed to other people, which was
against law and order. I look the
idea into my childish fancy thai
Americans always objected to
paying taxes, and I hoped the
Americans would carry tho coun
try at tho next election and en
tirely abolish that un-American
idea of paying taxes.
My father being one of tho or
iginal Republicans, I was led to
boliovo that duties on imports, as
at present levied, woro all right,
being"prolcction against tho pau
per labor of Europe," and as the
foreigners paid it anyhow it was
good enbugh, as long as ho was
ignorant enough to stand for it.
I romoinber tho first Mm el went
to attend a Fourth of July cele
bration at tho county sent. I was
prepared for something like a vis
it to the ternplo at Delphi to con
suit the Oriole, having road nil
about what was to lake place. I
was so intent on taking in the
whole show, and having such ex
haulted ideas of Unit brand of
patriotism, I must have been a
yjlubo show myself.
The eoniinilloo, through its un
tiring efforts, hud succeeded in se
curing the lion. Mr. Black for the
patriot io oration of tho day.
did not lose a sillable except when
tho commilteo on applause was
doing the right thing.
It took mo a long time after
ward to get it through tho os
prosciss under my hair that he
was getting ono hundred dollors
for being a patriot, the preacher
a lon-spot fur a long-drawn-out
invocation, yet I did not think
enough to class him with the
Pharisees.
I did not got all the red lemon
ado I wanted because it cost too
much, and in some way or other,
while I enjoyed the fireworks, I
wondered in a vague way what
was the usa of burning up so
much stuff, why not have all. the
ice cream, sodas, lemonades, etc.,
free. I finally suggested this to
some of tho grown up men and
was told thoro wouldn t be any
thing in it; people would soon lose
all patriotism if lhey did not have
an incentive, and if thoro was no
profit who would get up such a big
fourth of July celebration, and
Fourth of July would soon become
obsolete.
Of course it may have been on
ly- envy on my part, as I couldn't
buy any firecrackers, and being
barefooted 1 stepped on some
punk and burned my foot. I re
member that ono boy lost an eye
by a cracker and others a few fin
gers, but I was told that to slop
that kind of racket would inter
fere with business. It had the ap
proval of the best people, was in
dorsed by the wisest men since
the beginning of history, and no
telling how long before, well all
That kind of talk would silence me
for awhile, even if it did not con
vince. Generally I was told that
an ignorant kid should not think
ho knew more than that array oi
statesmen. The committee I
found out afterward was largely
made up of peanut peddlers ana
politicians and some other gen
tlemen who had something to sell.
As to other attractions the place
looked somewhat like OregonCity
on Booster day last year. Then
there was a man who had three
shells on a stand, and you could
bet that you could find the little
hall under vour nick of shells.The
enterprising committee, by spec
ial exertion, secured this also in
the interest of patrotism. ThinK
I did not be', on the game, for rea
sons which I will send in a per
sonal letter to all who are anx
ious to know, if they will address
me, enclosing ten cents in silver,
Canadian money taken without
discount.

unable to agree, reported several

IS THE TRAMP A NECESSITY?
Caustic Comments on the Ques
tion by a Socialist Writer.
Topeka, Kas., Juno 1. Kansas
needs 35,00.1 rnen from outside the
state to help harvest the wheat
crop. This is the preliminary es
timntfi nf Charles Harris, director
of the state free employment bu
reau.
"In response to inquiries sent
out as to, the number of hands
needed. I have received replies
calling for almost twice the num
ber asked for last year, sam
Haris today. "The harvest will
begin about June 25, or possibly
a little later." Tho railroads es
timate the Kansas wheat crop at
93,000,000 bushels.
The above is an answer without
coment. But let us see how we
treat one of our necessities under
this our glorious competition la
bor system. Why do we specify
labor from the simple fact that
competition in other lines is
trustful and is undo-- industrial
co-operation (when I use the
word "industrial" I mean not
owned and controlled by people or
government) yes the. men you
people call tramps or hoboes
are the men that are harvesting

Farmer O. D. Robbing Plain Talk
to Easily Scared Farmers.
Editor Courier:
In order to keep my reputation
as a single lax crank it is about
time to appear in print again. I
do not object to being termed a
crank, as the mechanical crank
is usually connected with useful
machinery, and the human crank
is more often than otherwise
found to be connected wilh use
ful ideas.
To Mr. Kelcnhofer I will say
that I do not pretend to be a very
wise guy, but I am too wise to
call an opponent's serious argu
ments silly, and make no attempt
to show why they are silly as that
would not give an impression of
my wisdom. If Mr. Kelenhofer is
dead as a tax writer, peace to his
ashes, and may he succeed in get
ting that deed recorded, so he will
be able to regard himself as a gen
uine taxpayer. In that case ho
may bo resurrected.
When our opponents have ex
hauasted thoir stock of arguments
and seem to feel the need of a
lilting climax, something more ef-

feclive than argument, then they
loll us we are in the minority, the
voters will llx us a-plenty. Mr.
llieinhothain puts us at about 1
lo HI. That is worse than it
turned out after the battle of Se
attle, which was 1 to 2. Being un
der the necessity of producing an
income from my improved land, 1
have not much lime to investigate
and interview voters, but I think
it will be proved he is much mis
taken. However I take my stand
for the right as I see it, and if I
am ahead of the procession. I
wait patiently for companions to
increase. Truth is mighty and
will prevail, and a majority of the
people may be fooled for a long
time, as 1 think they have on the
tariff and oilier matters, but they
canot be fooled all the time.
We are told that the success
ful farmers and business men are
not with us, and that only those
who would profit by single tax are
in favor of it. If all those who
would profit by tho change would
vole for it it would carry by at
least 10 to 1, as it can be proven
beyond doubt that nearly all far
mers, even including the specula
tive ones,, and all small and mid
dle class home owners, would
have their taxes reduced. In this
community several heavy tax
payers have deelat-ed their inten
tion of voting for the new sys
tem of taxation. The most act-
ive onuonents of single lax am
ong farmers are those who have
and who have convinced them
selves with the active help of the
big speculators, through their
mouthpiece, the Oregonian and
the man from Seattle, that single,
lav wmi il lend to r.ne confiscation
)of their land.
It can be shown conclusively
that any farmer who has a good,
improved farm, well stocked and
an average amount of personal
property, and even three or more
times as many acre of non-tillable
land as of improved land,
would pay less under single tax
than at the present. Their exec
utions would over balance the in
crease from higher rate on th-
"unearned increment" The ex
emptions would carry the full
present rate and the increase
would be only a few mills, consid
erably less than half the present
rale.
The great Mr. Shields preaches
continuously that our figures
amount to nothing because sin
glo tax would destroy all land
values by causing government
ownership. We do not favor ab
olishing private ownership in im
proved land and Henry George
did not believe in it at the end of
his career, as Mr. Shields knows,
if he has studied his writings as a
critic should. On page 5 of Tho
Labor Question by Henry George,
are these plain words: "We pro
pose leaving land in the private
possession of individuals, with
full liberty on their part to give,
sell or bequeath it." On page 3
of the same pamphlet will be
found just as strong arguments in
favor of private possession of the
land as the man from Seattle can
give, though in fewer words. If

and those he represents were con-J
sislently sincere in their pro
fessed belief, thai such direre
sults would follow the adoption of
singlo tax, they would welcome
the chance lo have it tried out in
some of our counties, and he of

sister slates might profit by the
lesson. But it seems that there
would be such a lure in the de
struction of values, business mis
fortunes and general havoc, that
it would spread from county to

til the blight would effect the
whole northwest.

A Letter that Tells how Hard
Times are Boosted Along.
Thn following humorous and
true to life little story is told in
a letter winch is published in the
Stayton Mail. It is a letter that
iwerv business man in OreKon
should paste on his desk where he
would have to remember it a doz
en times a day.
The following is a eopy oi a
personal letter from a Portland
wholesaler to one of our loeal mer
rhnnfs. II. hits tho nresidelitial
campaign bugaboo right in the
solar plexus, and is well worm
consideration. Here's what he has
to say:
Dear Bill:
Yon sore bad some grouch -on,
and how vou srot un the nerve to
order five rolls when the future
looked so blue to you beats me.
Hut thanks for that same order,
and it goes forward to you today.
From your letter i taue u you
feel about as follows:
If Tafl's elected the trusts will
run the country.
If T. R. sets in, the trusls will
bust the country.
Tf Iho ioh trnes to Clark. Bryan
or any of that parly, the country
will go to hell sure.
If a "dark horse comes along,
God help us all.
Vnv Iho love Of Mike. J51II, us
your liver that's wrong I Take it
from mo. that three grains of cal
omel with a Seidlitz powder later
will make the future look nrignter
once more.
When election day comes, vote
for fh man vou want. If he is
pWIpH vou'll know the country is
saved; then you'll have a drink or
two and a big cigar, will buy your
wife a new dress and send me
well let's say a couple of hundred
on account.
Should your man lose, you ll
Hehlon un: no new dress. no booze
and vou'll smoke a nine and hang
onto your inazuma for the worst
is yet to come, liuny uee.
Forget it, Bill I Tins is a nig
p.nnntrv and no one can send it
to tho hot place. When the Crea
tor gets readay to snuit us out,
he'll do it. and it won't be politics
that will influence him, either.
What one fears most never
happens, and no matter who is
nrflsiflont. the country will go on
just the same; we'll all eat, sleep
and be happy.
Now. Bill, vou've seen enough
of elections and the panicky effect
they have on business io not iaKe
it so to heart. This happens ev
ery four years with the same old
"holler" and the same result
after the nomination the trade will
nink un: after election it will be
good and keep on getting better,
and next year you win wonuei
why you were scared. In the
meantime pay no attention to the
bellyachers' prophesies. Tell 'em
"Business is Good" and that you
hnvnn't limp to talk Dolitics, and
with the big crops we will har
vest this fall you'll And out later
