HONESTY
ID
BACKBONES
VOTE FOR THE MAN, NOT HIS
PARTY OR TAG.
Too Much Politics and Too Little
Honor in Public Offices.
Courier:
Election draws near and it
seems that the candidates are
exhausting all the . legitimate
means in the scramble for votes.
Judging from the pictures of
many of them in store windows,
on walls and country cross-roads,
they certainly are not lacking in
personal attractiveness. But it
seems that, until women go to the
polls, the method of advertising
by pretty pictures is of doubtful
value.
All this, also, has its serious
side to the common sense voter.
Why are the offices which offer
high salaries for little work so
eagerly sought while those . of
school clerk, school director and
others without salaries, usually
look for the man. It shows the
true motive of the average office
seeker and the unselfish spirit of
those who conscientiously per
form Hie work of a public place
without compensation. Thus we
see, besides the man whS works
gratuitously for the public weal,
the over-paid county position
holder with. his feet on the desk
and plenty of time to draw up
elaborate political schemes.
Party distinctions as pertain
ing to county and town offices
are growing meaningless to the
common sense voter; but the pol
itician, too shrewd to accept them
as realities, knows their value to
his purposes, for a number of
citizens still adhere to the name
after the thing itself has disap
peared. Some cling to a parly
with a sort of a religious tenac
ity and vote "straight" like the
old Baptist who said that the pul
pit of his church being occupied
by an unworthy man, would not
make him turn Methodist.
To qualify a candidate fur a
public office nothing more is re
quired than efficiency and hon
esty; the latter, we all know, is
becoming a rare rvirtue every
day. Its importance is more ap
preciable after considering that
when the wrong man is in office
there is nothing to set a limit to
his extravagance, and all sorts of
misappropriations, except his
conscience, and if he is devoid of
such, it fares hard with the public
finances. The average citizen
has never any means by which to
trace the taxes he pays. '
Not long ago the newspapers
told the story of a woman who
had property in a distant town,
the taxes thereon exceeding the
interest. (Many a taxpayer in
Clackamas county tells the same
tale). Investigation showed thai
the administration of that county
was rotten to the core. What did
the voteless woman do? She nat
urally turned to the people. But
they were ignorant Poles, mostly
unable to speak English. She
learned their language and made
speeches telling them what mon
ster was taking the bread from
the mouths of their children.
Their native sense of honesty was
aroused and under her direction
public corruption was ousted.
Such proceedings should serve
as a warning to all of us who vote.
Before we cast our ballot for a
candidate, lot us inquire into his
past life. Let us vote for our
men, not because they are repub
licans, democrats, or single taxers
but because they are honest and
have the moral backbone to re
main honest in office.

ALFRED D. CRIDGE PRESENTS
SOME REASONING POINTS.
Shows up the Rank Inconsistency
of Shields' Line of Talk.
REDLAND.
Mr. J. Lewis was taken to Port
land to a hospital last week to
be operated on, and is now doing
very nicely.
Ed Barrett, .who has been on
the Richardson place, has given
up the same, as rent was getting
too high for him. He is moving
his effects to Logan and will stop
at J. Gill's until he finds a place
to suit him. He was the victim
of an unfortunate accident re
cently. While unloading a load
of baled hay, several of the bales
fell on him, and he will be laid
up for some time.
A. M. Kerchum, Louis Kerchum
and Louis Funk constitute a par
ty, going over on the Nehalem af
ter some venison.,
E. N. Brock is building a barn
for F. Sprague.
The wind Friday night did con
siderable damage to our tele
phone lines.
Miss Jessie Fouls is the cham
pion shot in these parts, recently
having shot a large hawk that
measured 3 feet 10 inches from
tip to tip. The shot was made with
a .22 rifle.
Last Sunday while Mr. Hazel's
boys and J. Lewis were fooling
with a gun, Jack was shot in the
calf of the leg. Dr. Mount dress
ed the wound and the injured is
getting along all 0. K.
Mr. Fouts finished baling his
hay crop last week.
Wm. Allen, who has been with
Gerber's baler all fall, is now at
home.
Lester Schwartz has sold his
team of grays.

help fight the graduated tax and
exemption measure, 311 i X YES on

several niue songs lie warnies

some phonograph.
One is that British Columbia

they have a tax levied on store
taxes, but why do you not tell
us poor benighted citizens "of Ore
gon that British Columbia repeals
poll and store goods taxes this
coming session of parliament?
And why not in your "education
al campaign" tell us (hut a num
ber of these other taxes you know
of are special and specific taxes
on timber, coal, wild lands, etc.?
You are not paid to (ell us the
trill h, do you whjsner? Why nol
tell it. anyway, without being paid
for it?
Tlinrn ja mini imp eniiir hn ln.ipn
ed from the Oregonian. It runs
in Ihn nfTnnl Hint Hin tinll Inv wnw
repealed in 11)07 by the legislat
ure, and that the measure repeal
ing it in 1910 was a fake, and
that the repeal of the poll tax was
a joker intended to conceal the
county home rule provision that
would enable any county at a reg
ular election to THY oul exempt
ing improvements from taxat
ion, with full power lo go back if
the people did not like it.
Simply a lie that even the Or
egonian has been compelled to
abandon as untenable. Poll taxes
wei, collected in Is) 10 in every
county of the state but, one. Of
ficial reports prove it. The Or
egonian has admitted it, but every
once in a while goes on repeal
ing the lie just out of force of
habit. The measure was discus
sed by its supporters and oppon
ents as a single lax measure as
far as it went, which was to al
,low the people TWO YEARS after
its pasago to vote to THY a small
installment of the awful single
tax, and the literature sent out to
every voter in Oregon three times
around in 1910, and the shriek
ing columns of the pluto press at
that time, proves that it was
thoroughly and fully understood.
Charlie learned his song from the
Oregonian phonograph soon af
ter coming here last spring, and
he does not seem able lo break it
off.
"Joseph Fels is supplying the
means to carry on this cam
paign," wails Charlie, "and they
expect to force the single tax on
the helpless people of Oregon
with its enactment."
How can Joseph Fels be fur
nishing all the money when he
only furnishes half of it? How
can the people have the single
tax forced on them if they don't
want it? How can this graduated
measure be the full single tax
when Federal revenues are half
of all the taxes in this country?
If the British Columbia people
have not got and will nnt have the
single tax, how can it be estab
lished in Oregon by a measure
Ihnl in tnnnv resnect.s does not
go as far as British Columbia has
already gone it uie people una
by trying it out that they want
nuipn nf lhi sinclf Iiiy nie. what,
have you to say against their re
taining Uie power lo laito as many
slices as they want? Why arc you
so solicitous that they refrain
from tasting whal you assure us
is not the single tax in British
Columbia and IS THE- single tax
in Oregon, according to you?
"And single lax will chase val
ues down so last mai an lanu
will be confiscated to the state."
"An' the gobblms will ketcn
yor, ef yer don't watch out," as
Little Orphan Annie says in Jas.
Whitcomb Riley's noted poem.
See any chasing down of values
in Vancouver, Charlie? So any de
struction of land values in Brit
ish r.nlmrihi.i where inmrove-
menls are exempt in country dis
tricts? See any conn.seuuuii oi
land by the state in Alberta,
uh PA iriln lnnd is penalized 25
per cent in farming districts and
no labor values are laxeur more
land owners in New Zealand now
than ever in those sections where
the same rule prevails?
The state owns the land now;
oi7!iva did 'Ai a sort, of ha f-
wit ted lawyer, Charlie, you know
that very well. 11 any person noes
not think tne state owns uie luuu
NOW iust refuse to-nay tho an
nual rent levied upon it, called
taxes. And if the users oi lanu
r,.., lues Invna on lnnd than thev
do now, and Ihe speculators and
idlers anil lrancnises ami. waier
power pays more, how will that
bring about any more ownership
than NOW?
Where improvements are not
taxed tho real estate business is
lively, and yet we tire assured
thai iWi'o will tin no commissions
for real estate men if we invited
Ihe home hunters and builders to
come to Oreeon as well as British
Columbia.
Here our real estate agents are
iling their finger nails in idle
ness and in jirinsn l.oiuii.ujiu
cities they are rushing to sell,
and do sell to home builders every
day.
"Do not tax our water powers
and thus encourage their use,"
wails Charlie, the Shield of Big
Business in Oregon.
This liltle song sounds funny.
Would he urge that we dn not
tax land or franchises at all and
thus encourage their use? If tax
ing water power will discourage
its use, then taxinfr the big idle
tract of land more will discour
age their use. If the 78.000 acres
of S. P. land in Clackamas county
was not taxed at all not a red
cent would that encourage their
being sold? Now, isn't water pow.
er a natural gift coming from
and falling on the land? Would
you believe thai, if sixty millions
of water power was not taxed at
all mat the owners could not
'Keep it niie all the easier; or
would you mink mat if it was tax
ed mat the owners would lock it
up in thoir pockets and lake it all
away from Oregon and operate
that water power in New Mexico
or Lower California?
These little songs Charlie has
learned until he can repeat thijin
forward or backward like. a Sun
day School pupil repeats the ten
commandments. They are enough
to make a cat laugh with their
contradictions and twistings, and
it enough of the people oi Oreiron
can bo induced to believe them
until after election a few trusts
will be several millions ahead of
the game with their taxes dodged
for another two years. Anybody
who will believe that Charlie has
sacrificed his loan shark busi
ness in Seattle and como to Ore
gon out of ' pure love for the
people of Oregon will believe his
iilllo warblings. Others will listen
badly to his trills and crescendo
calls and warnings.

ANSWERS HIS SINGLE TAX AR
GUMENTS OF LAST WEEK.
Maintains that the Single Tax is
the Rich Man's Friend.
Oregon City, R. 2, Oct. 19.
Ed i lor Courier:
Bro. Alfred D. seems to think
that I have something of the na
ture of these long-eared animals
in mo, and that I am arguing
just simply to keep from ask-
now leugmg mat 1 am wrong. Now
let us take some of his own ar
gument and analyze it, and see
now u snows up. we win take
the affirmative argument of the
"Graduated Single Tax League of
Oregon." on Page 230 of the state
pamphlet. (That is tho argu
ment mentioned by the whole
Eels b- rich, and you can't go back
on it.) They say, "if graduated
single tax amendment is approv
ed I his year, a urouD of uhonl
300 individuals, land and limber
companies, estates, railroads and
other franchise corporations and
water power lords will have' to
pay about five and a half million
dollars in taxes for the year 1913,
on the same land values and fran
chises and water power values,
on which their taxes for this year
will be less than three million
dollars." Now this means that we
win gain a revenue of about two
and a haK million dollars from
all these sources . mentioned, all
over the state, that we are getting
now. Very well, we will take your
word for it that this is tho reven
ue that you have all been telling
us so much about, that-is going
lo lower our taxes so much. Now
let. us see now Multnomah coun
ty is coming out, if this gradua
ted single lax should be adopted.
We have got just the basis we
Aant now. to work on. and the
effects will show up very plain.
.'luniiuiimii n uosesseu valuation,
I think, is 8340. 000.000 and it, is
supposed, by the best authority,
that I can get hold of, that this
graduated single tax an endment,
if passed, would exempt fro m
taxation, very nearly one-half of
all the present assessed valua
tion oi the county, which would
mean thai the counlv would lose
about $170,000,000 of assessed
valuation from which they are
now collecting tneir revenue. Wow
if their rate of taxation this year
is only 20 mills, (I am not sure
toout tho rate. I think I saw that
if wna 94. iviilla 1 (hinV !,( (I,l
would mean a loss to tho county
oi pretty nearly tnreo and a half
millions in taxes. Now the extra
revenue you have trained for the
whole state, by your graduatet
specific tax is only about two and
a half millions, and only a very
small portion of this would come
to Multnomah county, as anyone
can see by studying the make-up
of the bill.
Now I want to ask vou from
what source are you going to
make up lor this, say 83,000,000
loss in taxes to Multnomah coun.
ty, so as to make taxes lower?
Mow will Ihis three mil ion dol ars
loss in taxes be made up? It
looks to me like the answer is
very plain, tho assessment or tin.
rate on every lot and everv niece
of land in Portland and Mullno-
ii ah county will have to be very
nearly doubled. Have vou (rot
that? Now don't forget it when
you go lo the polls on the fifth of
next month and vote .305 X No.
And then I want to sav. m addi
tion to this, that if No. 314 car
ries, which it is almost sure to
do, we would not even get the two
and a half million dollars of rev
enue out of these sources that you
speak of, because the whole thing
would be under the control of the
railroad commission, and all
such specific taxes as these, if
tnev were paid at all, would have
lo be made up by the people of
f the commission did their duty.
Now after I have made this state
ment clear to everybody. I will
answer your question by saying
that if Multnomah county had
single lax and Clackamas county
did not, and I owned land on. both
side of the line between them, I
would most assuredly build my
house, and make my nens nesls
on the Clackamas county side.
W ishing you a clean defeat. I
will bid you good-bye.

Oregon City, Oct. 21, 1912.
Editor Courier:
1 am asking spaco in your
irienuiy anu vaiuanio paper to
answer a circular letter from six
sympathetic and very ;nuch in
terested citizens of Portland in
tho welfare of the farmer. These
meu advertise themselves as law
yer, cigarmaker, capitalist, priest
and one destitute of an occupa
tion. At least none is given and
it is very fortunate that ho can
occupy his time and probably
earn a few shockels warning the
lurmers against single tax.
They are unanimou 8 in the
opinion that . it will encourage
speculation and discourage hon
est thrift but failed to state'how
mat would injure their business.
They tell mo that mortsraares
will be foreclosed and new loans
cannot be made.
Also the merchant, manufac
turer and storekeeper will not be
able to borrow money.
And again they complain that
under this law banks, breweries,
newspapers, department stores
and manufacturers are to pay no
taxes.
Now if what you predict is true
it is a very wise provision in the
law to exempt all those who have
been ruined in business from
paying taxes.
Boing a larmer and knowine
tho farmers as I do, they would
not expect the banks and manu-
laclurers to bear tho burdens of
state after their occupation had
been destroyed.
Ihe bankers and manufactur
ers probably can get some awful
cheap land from tho state at a
less rent man we are now paying
in taxes. IF YOUR PREDICTIONS
ARE TRUE. They could move to
the country and Droduce auitn a
lot of food stuffs on this fertile
land of the Willamette valley and
help to lower tho cost of living
and becomo useful members of
society.
You tell us that lo tax public
service corporations would cause
them to raiso rates to meet it.
I was under the impression that
they adopted that plan a year ago
and it would work under sinsrle
tax as well as under double tax
or not tax at all.
My neighbor who is a socialist.
claims to have the only remedy
lor this evil.
Your prediction as to renting
our land back from the state if
our neighbor does not pay more
rent man we could, well, l have
a mortgage of about $200.00 per
acre on my farm and pay 6 per
cent interest and $4.00 per acre
tax, making about $16.00 per ac
re as it costs me now. and if the
state will rent it to me for half
that sum, they could well afford
to employ a good lawyer to pre-
vent spme of the gross extrava
gance without our consignments
on Front street, provided of
ctiurse they could find one in any
way interested. You say land
values are the basis of credit.
Are they not the foundation of
all wealth? All wealth is produced
by labor from land and to be
honest men and just in this tax
question should not land be the
base of taxation?
Another; If the bank takes my
land for tho mortgage, how does
the stale get it? .
If my land is taken from me
will the future owner allow his
taxes to bo grafted by that polit
ical machine you spoke of as it
is now?
Yours,
P. W. Meredith.
