OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY B9SW, 1912. 4L h UnLAltn ISSUE. How W. W. Myers Looks at the single Tax Proposition Editor Courier: I have so far tried to keep out of the single tax niuddle, as I consiuer me matter one of the many attempted- measures to keep me peopie irom the real issue. nowever tins matter puts the " people to thinking, and I have wailed patiently for some figures wuii prooi anu i am free to ad mit that I have seen nothing from either side of the question as proot for or against it. Twenty-five years ago I read Henry George, formed a good opinion of his arguments but I find most of the single taxers deeming him as authority for present day single tax. George was against land monopolies. If it would destroy land monopoly and make homes cheaper for poor people, I am for it; if not, count me against it. Now let nie ask some quest ions: Could we not amend the present lax law so as to tax franchises, water powers etc? If the present law is not adequate and leaves personal property to near its snare also, thereby light ening the , burden on improvements?- Next I want both sides to this question to tell mo what kind of tax law you can make that will exempt labor from a part or all the taxes? Now Mr. Hicinbotham you are well enough posted, so is Mr U'Ren, to know that no such law can be enacted. So all your hash about reloiving the poor laborer is all bosh. But say, this quest ion of tax, where you get a lax of about five per cent direct, you are treading on dangerous ground, but how about an indi rect tax of 40 to 60 per cent? You will swallow the dose and call it prosperity. Do you know that Mr. Hill says the average farm is worth $500 per year to the railroads of the country? That sounds big but Hill ought to know I am sure I don't. I was talking to one of the best farmers of Eagle Creek also one of the best citizens, and he says he kept track of his fares on the electric road to Portland and his fares alone were $38 for the year. He ships about $000 of pro- TWILIGHT. It is to be hoped that the voters Era. pre dicts over the line.

The custom is not only annoying but is not a good advertisement for our commun ity. A new fence adorns the front of Mr. Anderson s premises, add ing materially to the looks of his home. Mrs. Jornke has returned home after an absence of three months spent in the eastern states. An Oregon man advertised his homo for sale, with the exoeot- ation of removing wilh his fami ly to Oklahoma. Recently he was the receiver of a letter from a brother now residinsr in that state, soliciting his assistance to. ward his removal to Oregon, stating crops were a failure and limes extremely close.

F. Spiger is arranging to ciear up some brush land on his recently acquired premises. Formerly it was said that the farmer was worked by the town man, but now, bless you, the the farmer is worked by the farm er, as witness the defunct fruit growers association. It was orig inated by the farmer. Its -slock was sold exclusively to the fanne and it was officered by the farm er. It entered into operation under tne farmers own care and pro lection and incidentlv failed un der the same influences. Its mem. bership was extremely nervous for fear some town man should squeeze in and absorb all the profit which he had figured out oeiore the project was aunched It differed only in one respeel lrom the town man handled graft. The town man would have issued a statement advisiner tne money went, who vou held the sack but with the man agerial reins in the hand of the farmer you still hold the sack and remain in ignorance as to the expenditure of the money and disposition made of the tools and equipment.
