(SpU Jos eph Fels, the millionaire soap manu facturer of Philadelphia and spreader of single tax propaganda, -looks to Oregon to enact the Henry George theory Into law. He has Just made an offer to give dollar for dollar to a single tsx fund and local enthusiasts say they wllL raise $12,600, making a total of $25,000 to be apent here in a two-years' campaign. Mr. Fels was warmly received while In the city tbe first of this month- He attended receptions, was given lunch eons and spoke 'on bis pet theory, which he calls Justice, v "Dy Justice, I mean exemption from taxation on all personal property; the settling of all taxation upon land values, all land values being created by the activities and the presence of population," said Mr. Fels. "Included In this taxation are all special prlvl- JOSEPH FELS, Millionaire Single Tax advocate who la spending thous ands to spread abroad hla theories. leges, railroad franchises, public utili ties and the same pertaining to light, heat, city transportation and "every other function which can be carried on by the public.

"Oregon Is our first State, and al though we have the Henry George theory in ' Victoria, Vancouver and other British Columbia points, we hope to have It In the United States and after its adoption In Oregon, we look for It to spread." Mr. Fels' campaign will be con ducted through local clubs In every county of the State where they can be established. Speakers will be brought to the State from far off sec tions and Oregon men, who have made a study of the plan, will also take the field. Mr. Fels haa established funds In many countries for the advancement of his theories on taxation.

Th sctlon of .the University Board of Re gents,,, at- the recent meeting in Eu gerte, lookCng to tbe thorough equip ment , and manning of a Department cf Architecture; has a significance for the urban communities of the State not easily overestimated. If we look at only one phase of the new depart mentthat of landscape architecture, Include city planning a little, reflec tion will show that, tt has vast possi bilities, particularly since It ts launched Just at the opportune time In the development of Oregon. It has been ' the .rule, In other and older states, for cities to "grow up," like Topsy, either with no plan or with only the" customary framework of streets laid out like a checker board, whose chief virtues are simplicity ana regularity, with the opportunity of in definite expansion. Rarely haa provi sion been made In the original "town plats' for these breathing spaces In the form of parks, squares, . play grounds and boulevards, which, as the town matures Into a city, aro seen to be so essential to health and so de sirable, from .the artistic viewpoint. Often nothing Is done on these lines till the growth of business, tbe rise In property values, and the hardening of the social habit of the people has made the task of beautifying the city and rendering It wholesome, too heavy to be achieved in Its full or most de sirable extent. So the city's oppor tunity passes; It Is fated to remain Inconvenient, , onhoalthful and com monplace, whereas. If thought had been expended on It In time, It might 1 r:zi ) have been a comfort and a Joy to generations of loyal, devoted citizens. Tbe St. Psul papers of December It recite tbe activity Just developed In that city In the way for tbe city's beau tiflcat Ion and permanent Im provement. John Nalen, the cele brated landscape architect, of Cam bridge, Massachusetts, had been em ployed to make the plana. A number of committees of citizens were work ing with him, holding maas meetings, taking the sentiment of the community-on the proposed plans as they were being developed. Millions upon millions will be spent In tbst clt dur ing the next few years to produce, In part, the effect which a little plan ning forty years ago would have given In so much greater perfection.-. In our own state most of tho towns are as yet near tbe beginning of tbelr development No doubt .the decade on which we have entered will bring great changes, for we can confidently expect the doubling of the state's population by 1920. and If tbe drift cityward continues, the next census will show a phenomenal growth for Oregon cities. It Is, then, the oppor tune moment to begin shaping their growth while they are still plastic with small , populations, cheap and temporary buildings, comparatively low property' values- If the work Is (aken In hand now, as It may be with the advice and aid of tbe University's new' department, Oregon can have, In a 'generation from the present time, the finest showing 'of up-to-date, beau tiful and healthful cities to be found in North America. .
