' T'llstened a short time ago to a speech made by a Single tax advocate In Clack am county, wherein he stated that he Dad found two tracts of land similarly altuated. each con taining 100 acrea; one held by a real dent who was Improving the aame and the taxes on that tract of land was more than $80, and the other tract of land equally aa level and the fertil ity of the soil equally aa good, but held by a speculator, and the Utter tract of land was only taxed for $16. "I wlah to atate that the asaertlon la a faliie and misleading anj no aasesa ment of that kind appear upon the anaeasment roll of Clackamas county. .There are tracts of land, however, npoa xixst hills that ar fertile and have been Improved that are asaeued under the law of 1907. at their true cash value, and lying along the aide of that tract is another tract dipping over Intp a rocky precipitous canyon which is also assessed at Its true cah value, but the value ia very small on account of the worthless condition of the land. "Those condition of aTalrs exist In every county, and no Intelligent man will use those comparisons as an ar gument unless he wishes to practice deceit. I wish to call your attention to a conversation that I had yesterday in .vrtland with one of the atrongesi advocates of single tax la the state snd he Informed me that the munici pal tax and the special tax raised In school districts located In a city, af ter the aingle tax law was put Into operation by exempting Improvements and personal property would cauae the special levies In those towna to be a little more than double thetr present rate and ( therefore it would strike the real property owner very heavily unleaa some means could be devised to raise a large part of the apecal taxes In the "ctty'from licenses and other Internal revenue, as they do at the present time in Vancouver, B.

It would be Interesting to know who stirred tap the Wisconsin onlrlala to prevent the proponed bout lietweeej McFirland and Champion Ad Wol gast recently. It was not the title bolder.

TO SEND 15 ELK TO THIS STATE Through the efforts of State Gams Warden William I Klnlej, on his re rent trip to Washington, D. C. the government has been puraaaded to do nate fifteen elk to Oregon. These ani mals will be taken from the forest reserves of Wyoming, crated snd transported to Oregon as soon as the people of this state provide an ade quate pasture for them. They will be come the sole property of Oregon and serve ' to perpetuate a race of noble animals that la rapidly becom ing extinct In the northwestern part of the state there Is a 2,500 acre pasture that has been set aside by the National government for testing the utility of a coyote proof fence. It Is said to have proved effective for that pur pose anj the forestry service, accord ing to Warden Flnley. Is willing to give this Mg park to the slate aa an elk reserve. The matter of location, however, has not been settled, as this Is a question that will be left to the state at large, as It la distinctly a matter or puoiic interest. The Wyoming elk are magnificent Specimens and It Is believed that they will thrive In this slate. Fortunately, the Biological Survey of the Depart ment of Agriculture will meet nart of the expenses of crating and trans porting the antlered herd from Wyom ing to this stste. The food for the winter will hsve to he provided by the people of Oregon. It Is expected they will be moved by February snd some definite action aa to location must be taken before tha.t time. With a starter of fifteen animals, there ought aoon to be a large herd. If yon are not reading the Morning Enterprise, why notf Year-end Bar gain period la now on. See ad on hack pae.
