There are enough of them in Oregon
to make it a statute,
THE POOR MAN'S FIGHT
There is now ready for signatures
an initiative petition providing for the
exemption from taxation of improve
ments and personal property to the
account of $1500 value to any one
taxpayer.
The measure is very brief and ex
pressly declares that it is especially
intended to exempt within its limits
"all kinds of personal property and all
said land improvements made for the
greater convenience and attractive
ness of the home or the gaining of a
livelihood.
As soon as subscriptions sufficient
to pay for the printing, literature and
incidental expenses have been secured
headquarters of the Home Tax Ex
emption League will be opened in
Portland. Starting at this time is to
give plenty of opportunity to those in
terested to circulate the petitions with
out having to hire men and women
for that purpose. Also it is intended
that the people shall have abundant
opportunity to consider the measure
in all its phases and to get over any
scare that may be thrown into them
by certain large taxpayers and hold
ers of valuable special privileges.
This is not going to be a measure
, that will suit the single taxers ex
actly, or at least all of them. It is not
receiving any support or encourage
ment from the Fels Fund, and it will
not require much money to make a
campaign lor. It will have to be
y poor man's fight straight through.
The measure provides for its re
submission if it carries, so that the
people need not keep it in force
they do not like it at the end of two
years, and again at the end of four
years. The promoters of it have so
much confidence in lt.'i benificiary
nature that they provide for it to be
voted upon in 1914, 1916 and 1918.
This is a peculiar provision but if it
carries will prevent any juggling or
eliminatng by its enemies, and will
not require any expense whatever to
put it upon the ballot. Its supporters
claim that if it thus carries three
times in succession it will become an
established part of the Oregon sys
tern.
Applied to Clackamas county it will
exempt from tax nearly every small
farmer and home owner. An examin
ation of the estimated tax rolls for
1910 (the only one so available!
shows that over 85 per cent of the
tax payers would have their improve
ments and personal property entirely
exempt.
The increased tax on the remaining
property would be about 16 to 18 per
cent, some closer figures will no
doubt be evolved later on.
as any intelligent assessor prop
erly DacKeu Dy tne county Commiss
ioners can discover valuable idle land
and water power sufficient to take up
this increase, it will become appar
ent that the farmer of small means is
now paying taxes on his improve
ments and personal property to the
assessed amount ot $iaUU, when he
has that much, for fun, charity or
out of pity for millionaires.
Hundreds of men and women to
whom .the general provisions of this
measure have been submitted have
endorsed it, or have admitted that it
would carry if voted on. Only one in
about fifty times has any person ap
proached condemned it, und they were
invariably large taxpayers, irreeon-
cuuuie single taxers or avowed an
archists.
When this proposed amendment
gets signed and actually assured of
being voted on, it is going to create
a ruction. It does not exempt any
skyscrapers, big mills or factories,
railroad trains or department stores,
a "million dollars in the bunk" or a
railroad depot. It just knocks off the
tuxes on thes mull home and farm up
to the extent of $1500, if there is that
much assessed in the form of improve
ments, live stock or machinery.
Any small tax payer who cun fig
ure that this will not help him will
have to figure up side down.

"EMERGENCIES."
Cincinnati, July 2, The Board
of Health today ordered the
health officers of Cincinnati to
sieze and operate all ice plants
in the city and to use every avail
able means of distributing to the
general public. Mayor Hunt sent
a communication to the Board de
claring that a public emergency
existed.
Such press dispatches as this make
men who have brains use them.
Just let it soak in a little and then
wonder at "the alarming indications
of Socialism."
Next December Oregon City should
put in a commission form of govern-1
ment, and the people will vote it ini
just as surely as a charter that really
means a reform is presented.
Portland is now under commission
management and it bids fair to be a
splendidly goverened city.
This city will adopt seme commis
sion form of government as soon as
the right form is presented and some
of our public spirited men will get be
hind it and show the voters the bene
fit. The attempt last year was a fail
ure because the people knew but lit
tle of the proposed charter and they
thought something was being put ov
er on them.
This city should be put under a
thoroughly practical business man
agement, and run as a factory or de
partment store is run managed by
men qualified to manage.
This is a matter of the utmost im
portance to this city, and one that we
should all take a hand in. Its our duty.
If we make the chanze next De
cember it is up to some of our brainy
men to donate a few days' work and
push the form along. We are grow
ing, we will continue to grow, and we

ment.

THE BIG DRAWBACK
Eliminiating entirely the recall,
this paper wants to present a few
plain facts to common-sense men to
consider.
You might as well face it, taxation
is the greatest draw-back Clackamas
county has. It is holding back this
county as nothing else can.
When a farmer can't make six per
cent interest on the land he buys here
it is a pretty close crowd to confis
cation. This isn't a knock. You lennw it. T
know it, we all know it, and the com
mercial organizations of this city and
county could not possibly do the coun
ty a better work than to get right into
the matter of a more economical gov
ernment for county and cities and get
uixes uown into proportion with dod-
ulation and needs.
Lower prices and lower taxes have
got to come in -western Oregon, and
uniess tney oo come the efforts to
bring settlers to this county is
more nor less than a plain bunco
game.
Ihese are thines we should facp
and remedy. We should have a county
court that would cut to the bone
