6 OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, OCT. 18 1912 ABQL S 5100 SUPERVISOfi II ONLY A USELESS EXPENSE TO THE STATE. Let County Superintend Take Charge their Work. in To the Courier and its Readers: As a candidate for school sup erintendent of Clackamas county at the coming election, I desire at this time to slate my position on some recent school legislation. Jt seems to me lhat the Rural School .Supervisor stands at the list as the most unfortunale and useless hit of frivolous legislat ion enacted in recent years. The good tins law is supposed to ac complish can and should he done by the County School Superin .londant himself. If a I earlier falls to do his 01 her work riy lit or neglects to es tablish order and justice among the pupils, no one can hotter as sist in doing this than the di rectors and also the Superintend ant. , The cost in dollars is not great of course for these useless of. ficers, but it is that much of the lax payor's . money mis-spent this law is undermining' the in legrily of the rural district in my opinion. The safety and welfare of a community is belter olf in its own hands us a rule, and c should use our inliueuce and alerl jiess to prevent any innoviilion that will take away our indepen dence t The results of some of the supervisor law in our county has already proved injurious. Now 1 don't directly blame the supervis or. One illustration will serve the purpose. A new idea is to re move the, seats not in actual or immediate use from the school house to make play room for the children in rainy weather. Now this would not ho so serious if some school child had proposed it, hut eomiriK as it does from ed ucational headquarters in stale and counly, makes it almost trag ic. do, kind reader, through some of our rural districts and you will see once beaulil'ul seals 111 their proper places, now stacked in the woodshed or the front porch of the srhoolliouse, and some scat tered over I he grounds. There are other new fandangle propositions Ihcse supervisors are trying to hand around to us, that aro jus I ns absurd as the above. I wish to state, however, that no seals were removed from my sehtml room, and the gentleman who was supervisor in my dis trie! agreed. While I do not de sire to take up too much ofyour space at this lime, let mo. say in conclusion. (hat while the legisla lure makes Ihese laws, I he super iniemlants are Hie mainsprings oflllieir existence, for it is they wdio work lor these laws Unit we have. And were 1 elected, I, for one, would use my efforts to have these useless laws removed from the slatule hooks.. Let us use this money in slead to build high schools in our rural districts and I hereby g ive the county boy and girl a good education at home. II. will pay. ItlfllKRT GINTHEIV. Socialist nominee for county school superintendent. who is failing and there are some who are is the man who has retired to the interior with nothing to go on and with a lack of ambition to work and struggl against odds. The homestead land in the, in terior has been gobbled up by the land hungry colonist and the ambitious homeseeker at such rate that it is now necessary to go well into the interior to secure desirable holdings. Gradually the land within a few miles of rail road surveys has been taken up for homesteading. Year by year the. frontier has been pushed hack until now it is only in a few places that it is possible to get laud within five or ten miles of a (own. In the vicinity of Burns Imperial and Bend, the rush of homeseekers has pushed the bor der of the available land far out, EAGLE CREEK. Mrs. Annie Cooper was seen down this way one day last week Mrs. R. B. Gibson called on Mrs. Jones last Thursday after noon, . . The Kitzmiller crowd of hunt ers returned borne the latter part of last week with two deer. Mrs. Viola Douglass went out to see her daughter Mrs. Jim De Shazer, Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. J. D.

Robbins Views. of Editor Courier: I want to give you an overhaul ing first for fixing my article in last week's Courier the way you did. Did you do that on pur pose, or was it just an unmten, lional ommission? You make my article on single tax read: "All we want in Oregon is speculators, and won't touch anybody else," when it should have read: "All we want in Oregon is a law lhat will effect -speculators and won't touch anybody else." I don't want you to try to inako mo out as crazy. 11 people should read such stuff as that and think that I wrote it lhat way, they would surely think I was olf my base. Now for friend Robbins: He says assess my land at $20 and the COO acres of unimproved land of the Strobridgo estate at $20, or assess us both at $100 per ac re." Now just because Mr. Rob bins has a piece of land that would be valued at $100 an acre, is no reason that all of the Strow bridge should be valued at the same. I cannot see as well as when I was young, but I can plain ly see the injustice and unreason ablcncss of such an argument as this, and friend Robbins will ilnd out if a revaluation is made of the land in the county, that it will be made according to the actual val ue of the land, and that the man who has got land worth $1000 an acre will have to stand an assess ment of that much, and the man who holds a piece ot land on which a' blue jay would starve to death', would perhaps have to pay taxes on an assessment of $1.25 an acre, and your uniform in crease in valuation, which you talk so much about, will have no thing to do with it. You know this just as well as I do, and the men think what you are doing be fore you vote. ' Yours for the best interests of tho state, George Hicinbotham. visitor Sunday.

(Gentlemen of leisure talk.) 1 will readily admit that our present tax laws are not what they should be, but what is the us of trying to amend a bad law with a. worse one? It is just as easy to pass a law that will put these land speculators business on tho bum as it is lo pass a law that will put us on the bum.Just such a bill as this will be sufll cient to show us whether the poo nlo as a whole will inform them selves sufficiently on a subject of this kind or not, to east an liuel ligent vote. To he sure there are well informed men who differ on this subject, but as a rule self. interest will govern the voter. You say you aro not afraid of single tax because your land is all under cultivation and you are not afraid of it hurting you. Mr. Fels wants single tax because it is greatly to his interests: Mr. Cridgo wants single tax because Mr. Fels is paying him big for wanting it, and it is my honest opinion that if Mr. U'llen, Mr. Eggleston, Mr. Wag 11011 and tho whole bunch of Fels employees were situated as I am, ami as thousands of olhers aro in the stale, that they would oppose the singlo tax just as hard as I do.

Editor Courie?: After hibernating for fifteen months, the Oregon City Fruit jd Produce Union has become aroused. The letter of Mj. J. Laz ello, Secretary, Oregon City Pro duco Union, Incorporated, in last weeks Courier, has a spookish ap pearance, as a voice from the cemetary, some several hundred stock holders having become thoroughly convinced of its de mise. 1 Various requests, of a normal nature, for information to which they are entitled, indicated the necessity for more strenuous ef forts, which later, only develops slight animation of the supposed coi'pse, but utterly fails to bring forth the desired intelligence. If, as stated by Mr. Lazelle, the Union has actual assets, the more reason why the slock hold ers should be advised, not only of what these -assets consist, but of the expenditures of their money to-date. If by inference the directors feel maligned, it is the direct re sult of an inactive Secretary, who should have promptly arranged to provide the information aske ior. I will admit that have nothing to sell during the Union's days of activity, I did not patronize them, consequently not compelled to ship produce to Portland on my personal account, as did some of the directors'. The correspondent's explana tion as to why the Union's exist ence is not publicly maintained, is illogical, and its continued pol icy of hibernation should not re ciuiro the services of a graduate of the Oregon Agriculture College to prove deceptive. The continued silence on the part of the officials of this board will more forcibly indicate to its stock holders the inefficiency of its past management. So far as I am personally con corned, this closes the incident, as I seek no controversy over the matter. The last paragraph of Secre tary Lazelle's open letter, being foreign to I he question, I ignore as it is but the mutlerings of one anxious to extol his superior knowlege over a contemporary, self adulation being decidedly ob noxious lo most people.

The Way an Oregonian City Pion eer Looks at Things. Editor Courier: The Atlantic White Lead Works in tho city of Brooklyn, N. Y., in 1843 or 1844, at that time was a co-partnership company. It was a big concern. About that time they talked about organizing a joint stock company, the first in the city of Brooklyn. It was debated for about two years to decido which it should bo, one sharo of stock one vote or the in dividual one share one vote. It was decided that the one individ ual could hold more than one share and vote each share. That was when the dollar was put against tho man; and tho dollar won. lugnt mere the idea was sprung to control Tabor by con troling the money. It just seems that right there was where our trouble commenced in tho United States. Money to control labor. Now the idea is to have cheap la bor so as to develop our resour ces and in order to obtain that wo, will encourage immigration in order to havo ample supply of labor. Even a surplus would be desirable to have labor competing against itself, which . was the cause that brought on the labor unions. LnbdV unions in a demo ratic republican government was bad, very bad, and never should have been. See here the cause and conditions that brought on the labor unions is worse than the labor unions. After a while the name "joint stock company" was too common. Then it was chang ed to corporation. Now it is Trust lombines and Realities, and goodness knows what else. Now we have had about seventy years of the. workigns of the cor porations. It is said to be the era of the greatest prosperity of nation that the world ever knew. Jreat understandings too numer ous to mention here. Now the question is, what have wii to show for this great era of prosperity, and seventy years of corporation rule? Will we have more very rich people than any other nation in the world and mil lions of idle men. The ideal To obtain surplus labor worked well for we sure have them and we sure have white slaves, millions and that mill is still grinding un der corporation rule and commer cialism. Say, just you remember that those millions have all been obtained inside or the past fifty years, with the exception of two. Now Republicanism has been in the saddle for a long time and has not bettered conditions for the good of tho common people, only made it worse. Democracy has not made good, and will be given another chance. Now about the above "isms." They aro about like what the old Frenchman said about his daughter: "My daugh ter Gustena was a h 1 of a sit." We have had for many hund reds of years a large class of good hearted honest people that have been more or less misled. 11 seems that they are in the last ditch. By building up a great monopoly, by using their influ ence of high license and internal revenues and neglecting the wants of humanity and always looking to an unknown world in the hereafter, making promises that can never be fulfilled. They have used their influence in oth er things that are bad, very bad. It seems that the only tangible thing they have is Prohibition. The great majority of people be lieve in temperance. Will have to say a few words for the women. "God bless borne and mother when we want our cook ing done." If some women filled every office in the United Stales they could do no where near as bad as the "Lords of Creation." Now Mrs. Women, you cannot possibly do worse than tho men and tho chances are forty to one you will do seven times belter. Let us give the women a chance to vote. It will not hurt. Now according to the fellers lhat are going around the coun try talking anti-single tax, get ting $400.00 per month and ex penses. Now the small farmers and the small home owners of the cities and towns will be hit the hardest by this system. Ac cording to reason they, are the ones that will put up the fund to pay these fellows so as to have their little homes. It has been said that the rich will be benefit., ed by single tax but if the truth is known, it is the big fellow that is putting up the fund. When this government was organized, if we had had wise statesmen who would have looked into the fu ture and made different land laws instead of as now running over the new country cutting and slashing waste, waste, waste, just like a band of cattle in a grain field. Waste, waste, waste, im poverished the land by taking all out and putting nothing back. If single tax will take us back to the first principles let us vote it. In New York it was said that anyone could get $1,000,000 who could invent or devise a plan to stop the crush on the bridge and street cars. That is easy if you could d , it. How would you do it? You just go to the city hall and run a straight line out from it two hundred miles, then strike a circle of 200 miles radius, and when a train of cars or a ship or a steamboat or any conveyance comes up to lhat line, stop them and before they can pass over double the price of freight. Why? So as to starve you fellows out. Too many people here in one bunch. Well we think that would do it. Well we have that settled and the very host thing to do is to go down to the custom house and all the custom houses in the United States and wipe them off the map. We don't mean the buildings. II is the tariff, custom, the nuty on imports. That is what catches the people both ways imports and exports. It js safe lo say that half or three-quarters of tho profits are unearned increa ment and that is a debt that can't be paid. II is invested and makes more profits and keeps on doing so. Of course tho people making these profits are the industrial people of the counly. How long will it take to absorb tho wealth of this country? Let us turn this around and put a duty on exports and the state do the trading.. Now I will ask you if you know what makes tho people bunch so in great centers. Labor-saving machinery is one reason, money is another, but there are many oilier reasons. Capital and big business bank oil population, for population is the basis of wealth, and that is the -reason that com mercialism clamors for popula tion. Everything is bargaining. The more people the more wants to dicker with. The very height of competition gambling, from Iho highest to the lowest. The industrial people of the United States are in a hole. They voted themselves there mostly by misrepresentation.- Now to get out of lhat you will have to learn to vole for yourselves and a good way to got out is lo vote for the socialists. O. R. II.
