It is a safe proposition that any reasonably intelligent man who, with out prejudice, will examine the achievements of the Taft administra tion in the direction of procuring just and reasonable tariff revision, will be compelled by the facts to give his cordial approval to the Taft policy. But how many have followed the de--termined and successful effort of the President to secure a tariff board and to procure from Congress the funds necessary to enable it to develop the facts? Had not the impatient members of the community intrusted the control of the House to the Democrats, con crete results of President Taft's achievements in this direction would already have been written on the statutes. With a Democratic House and a Republican Senate, it may be that no tarilff legislation will be en acted at this session, but if there is not, it will be solely because the Democrats are unwilling to father a revision in accordance with the find ings of the tariff board. And yet it is argued, and with rea son, that even those who espouse the Democratic view that there should be wholesale slashing of the tariff, will gain the end they wish more certainly and more expeditiously by the Taft method than by that of Mr. Under wood and his colleagues in the House, for it is pointed out that were the Democrats in control of the three branches of the government, and were they to pass such legislation as they have put through the House, there would inevitably follow another reac tion, precisely like that which fol lowed the enactment of the Wilson bill, and another Dingley bill would be the result. If, on the contrary, the revision of the tariff is effected slowly, and systematically, every step being sup ported by a report of the tariff board showing the reasons therefore, such revision will not cause a reaction, but will stand until the tariff board shows that still further reductions should be made.

CASTO DEFENDS FELS TAX C0N1BUTI0NS OREGON CITY, R. F. D. No. 3, Feb. 19. (Editor of the Enterprise) Have just returned from a short trip to Portland and Oregon City and have observed that one of the foremost to pics of discussion is the subject of "Single Tax." In one of these dis cussions I heard the remark that Har vey Starkweather had, (as printed in your paper a few weeks ago, and which I read with pleasure), one of the best articles against the single tax that has yet been presented. It was this remark that provoked me to write these few lines. Bringing to mind the argument in Mr. Starkweath er's article, some of us could not do otherwise than to conclude that the Single Tax "principle is wrong because some certain persons have contribut ed very liberally, with their money, to a fund for the advancement of the Single Tax measure in Clackamas county, and that certain other . per sons have taken, for expenses, (and as has been intimated for salaries) from this fund, for the same purpose; and that one of these persons, who in the past has done so much to britag about the various good reforms we have in Oregon, by reason of his ad vocacy and exertions for this princi ple has sold his citizenship for a mess of pottage. We can recall many a great reform which we now have and which was confronted with these same arguments and conditions, and yet there are very few of us who, today, dare deny the justice of those princi-; pies. Granting then that all the above is true and that these contributors are millionaires, etc., we want to ask Mr. S. if he honestly believes that it is any argument against the justice of the principle involved in the measure that is to be presented in Clackamas county?" My answer is, no. Mr. S. is a man of sufficient in telligence to know that it requires enormous sums of money to advance the cause of reform measures espe cially when confronted with so much prejudice, superstition and ignorance as is this most valuable principle. We should endeavor then to argue the case upon its merits and not indulge in assertions and personalities. I rather liked the sentiments of that person who contributed an article a short time before Mr. Starkweather, when he said that he is willing to lay aside his prejudice and study the proposition, both pro and con, upon its merits. j Mr. Starkweather said further, that the ownership of land s not necessary for the existence of a human being. That undoubtedly is true but is not the possession or use of the land, either directly or indirectly, (the same as is the use of the air, the sunshine and the water), absolutely necessary for the existence of the human fam ily? This being true brings land in the same class as the air, sunshine and water, i. e. common property. We have the free and equal use of the air, sunshine and water but are de nied that right in the case of the land, which to my mind, is the fundamental or main cause of the unequal distri bution of the wealth, resulting in the increase of poverty amidst increasing wealth. It has been proven that the taxation of land values remedies this condition. We should also study the proposi tion from a moral as well as a purse standpoint. Translating the Biblical quotation, "Render unto Ceasar that which is Caesar's, and unto the Lord that which is the Lord's,-' we have, "Render unto the individual that which is the individual's and unto society that which is society's," or in other words all that which is created by the labor and industry of the individual should be left to the individual, and all that created by society or the com munity should be left to the commun ity. The former is accomplished by the exemption from taxation of per sonal property and all improvements in and upon land; the latter by the taxation of land values. Tho intans-ihlp. Tienefioial results should be considered as well as the tangible. Tn mv Rtudv of the class known as the anti-single-taxers it seems to me that they have resoivea tnemseivea into two factions. One faction is com- nnseri nf those neoDle in moderate cir cumstances who seem to think and claim that the people who have noth ing want the single tax so that the latter can obtain that which the for mer now possesses. The other taction is composed of the same kind of peo think and claim that the manufacturers, corporations, mo nopolies, etc , want the single tax so that they can still better depress and rob them. The gentleman of whom I formerly spoke as . contributing before Mr. Qtor-twonthor aid that he would like to read the reasons of the people why they are for or against tne single lax, hoping thereby to be able to get some points upon the measure.

This fact is in evidence on all sides ;in evidence by word of mouth from those who are poor; also by word of mouth from those in moderate circumstan ces; again in-, evidence by injunctions and other court proceedings from the corporation manufacturers, monopo lies, millionaires, etc., and while this may not be an argument for the jus PR ID IN OUR FACILITIES GROWTH BUSINESS WE HAVE ALL THAT Out modern printing and binding establishment would interest yoti.
