Carl Marx, perhaps the leading Socia

BOURNE CARRIED FOUR.
Ben Selling received the Republi
can nomination In the dltwt primary
election by a plurality of 6500 over
Senator Bourne. Mr. Selling made
his race on his record aa a progres-

improvement, are exempt from taxa
tion. They do not Intend to have Sin
gle Tax.
Why, Henry George would turn
over in hut grave could he know that
Oregon Single Taxers would point
with the finger of pride to British
Columbia. Henry George would dis-
ploneer and consistent advocate and
supporter of progressive legislation
in this state. The people approved
that record and nominated him. In
the primaries, Mr. Selling carried 27
of the 34 counties, as against four for
Bourne and three for Judge Stephen
A. LowelL of Pendleton, who is ac-
own Single Tax If the British Colum- j tively supporting the Republican nom
bia scheme had to be Single Tax. j Inee. Mr. Sellin. la today standtn

taxation or exemption and how it

any other laws come as the result ot

would injure their schools. The last
legislature was far more criticised be
cause of its fiendliness and liberality
toward the schools and colleges per

provided for school supervisors and
three-fourths of the people of Clack
amas county wish that law repealed.
It gave so liberally to the State Uni
versity and Monmouth normal that
the referendum was called upon the

nothing to fear from the legislature.

Living From Hand to Mouth
If you are in the habit of paying your bills with ready
money out of your pocket you give the impression
that you belong to the class of people who live from
hand to month. Your check would be just as ac
ceptable, and besides you would gain the advantage
of having a receipt for the money paid.

PLEA FOR SUFFRAGE.
ORKOON CITY, Oct. 16 (Oregon
City Enterprise) You voters may
not know it, but eight million women
are earning their own living In the
United States today, doing work
which for them is quite as hard as
your work is for you. A very large
percentage of them are supporting
families and paying taxes; they are
governed by the fame laws which
govern you and stand shoulder to
shoulder with you six days in the
Tue-day. October 2S.
For the Salem meeting effort will
be made to have Governor West, Ex
Mayor Kndgers, or Attorney Gener
al Crawford preside. In Portland one
of the meeting is to be presided over
by a prominent labor man.
Mr. I 'Ren will support the Single
Tax Measure while Mr. Shields will
attack the KelH Tax Commlslons, con
tending that the state and county
measure contemplate the establish
ment of the Henry George Single
170 acres of sec
4 south, range 1
week. Do you consider that thlsiTa: ,,,at ,ne Henry George Single
makes them any less womanly? Then
don't you think we should be able to
ward off your influence we have
your word for It that It Is not a prop
er influence long enough to vote with
you once In a year or two?
These eicht million women are per
fectly willing to "remain in the
home" where you say they belong but
since they are unfortunately compell-
, ed to get out Into the world every
day to earn their own bread and but
ter, they feel that they t-hould have
something to say about their condi
tions and surroundings while at
, work. If for no other reason than
that they are going to be mothers of
a large percentage of the next gen
eration of voters, they should have a
i chance for health and well-being.
The fact that an army of women
and children are working in sweat
i shops and fire traps bas not seemed
Tax li not a system of taxation et
all and was not so Intended; that It
has for its ultimate end the national
ization of land by absorbing the en
tire rental value of It. The expenses
of the meeting will be paid by Mr.
C Ren and Mr. Shields.
