TO DEBATE HERE
SINGLE TAX LEADER IN OREGON
ISSUES CHALLENGE WHICH
IS ACCEPTED
MAYOR SAYS HE IS NOT UNEASY
Follower Of Henry George Declares
Comments On Beaver Creek
Discussion Are Satisfact
ory To Him
Declaring that the "comments on
the joint discussion at Beaver Creek
Hall Friday night were so satisfactory
from my point of view," W. S. U'Ren
the leader of the single tax movement
in Oregon, Saturday issued a chal
lenge to Grant B. Dimick to meet him
on the hustings in this city in the near
future. Mayor Dimick, when asked if
he would accept the challenge, said:
"I shall be delighted to meet Mr.
U'Ren in a debate of the single tax
in this city or any other place when
convenient. I expect to be busy with
other matters for a few days, but after
that no doubt Mr. U'Ren and I can
agree upon a date."
The single tax question has reached
an animated state in this county and
there is every reason to believe that
Mr. U'Ren, the leading exponent of
the Henry George theory, and Judge
Dimick, one of the strongest oppon
ents of the theory, will be called upon
to debate in all parts of the county
and probably throughout the state.
"So many of our mutual friends,"
says Mr. U'Ren in his challenge, "have
expressed a desire to hear a discus
sion of the county bill to exempt im
provements, personal property and oc
supations in Clackamas County from
taxation, commonly called the 'single
tax bill," that it affords me much
pleasure to invite you to meet me at
Shively's Hall at the earliest date
that will be convenient, without ex
pense to you for the hall or for adver
tising. The comments on the joint
discussion last night at Beaver Creek
Hall were so satisfactory from my
point of view that I extend an invita
tion to you for. Oregon City with great
pleasure.'" j

COMPLETE TICKET
W. W. Myers, one of the leading
socialists of Clackamas county, said
Saturday that the party would prob
ably have a complete ticket at the
coming electiqn.
"A meeting will be held at Knapp's
Hall the first Sunday in Aprill," said
Mr. Myers, "and It will be decided
then whether the party is to put a
ticket in the field for the county of
fices. It is my belief that this will
be done, and an astonishingly large
vote will be polled.'
Mr. Myers has been mentioned for
the candidate of the party for the
county court, but he probably will not
accept this nomination. It is also re
ported that he will be nominated for
Congress.
SHERIFF MASS IS
OUT FOR RE-ELECTION
Sheriff E. T. Mass , who is a candi
diate for the Democratic nomination
for that office, filed his declaration
Saturday. His petitions for signatures
are being circulated. Mr. Mass will
not have any opposition in the Demo
cratic party, but he will be opposed
at the regular election by E. C. Hack
et. Mr. Mass defeated Mr. Hacket
two years ago, but the Republicans
insist that their man will make a much
stronger showing at the next election.
L P. HORTON HOST OF

More than 20,000 votes is the record
breaking result of one day's work
made by Kent Wilson in the Enter
prise contest Saturday. Hitherto an
unknown factor in the race for the
big Ford auto, Young Wilson In a few
hours' work has placed himself well
up in the list of candidates, causing
the other leaders In the race no little
unrest. The result of the count of
votes Saturday evening brought out a
number of surprises, one of the most
astonishing of which was Miss Mc
Cord's forcing Sheahan from the lead
ership of the race by casting more
than 15,000 votes. ' . -
Sheahan cast more than 3,000 votes
in his attempt to retain the leader
ship. John Brown cast the third larg
est number of votes for the day,
bringing his 7,000 up to 13,000. The
special day was the most successful
one of the entire contest to date
more votes being polled than on any
other six days of the race combined.
All day long one- candidate after the
other came to the Enterprise office
to deposit big bunches of votes. Each
entrant was eager to win the extra
2,000 free votes. Of course the most j
sensational feature of the dav was the
wonderful showing made by Kent Wil- j
son, but Miss McCord's great gain
of votes, and forcing Sheahan from
first place was truly exciting.
This week will see all former rec
ords of votes cast shattered. Every
entrant is determined to land the
prize Friday, when the second of the
special ten day contests will close.

BIG COAL STRIKE
GEORGE, ANGERED, PROPOSES
DEALING PERSONALLY WITH
SUBJECTS
SCENE WITH MINISTERS STORMY
Queen Is Believed To Have Caused
King To , Take .Situation In
to Own Hands Mediation '
Fails
LONDON, March 9. In court cir
cles there are reports of interchanges
betwen King George and Premier As
quith owing to the Premier's failure
to settle the coal strike. The King is
of an impatient temperament and un
able to appreciate the irresistible
force of trades union organization.
He is bitterly surprised at the failure
of the Cabinet's mediation and ex
presses amazement that Asquith was
unprepared with an ulternative
scheme for compulsory settlement.
Asquith found it impossible to sat
isfy the king that the Cabinet had done
its utmost so Lloyd-George, In whom
the King has great personal confidence
was sent to reassure him. For once
the Chancellors brilliant powers of
persuasion failed.
The King suggested that an emer
ency might arise in which he would
be compelled to call to his councils
the leaders of the opposition and ask
whether they were prepared to carry
on the government and deal with the
present situation.
Lord Landsdowne was sounded, but
Bonar-Law intimated that such a step
in the present crisis must delay a set
tlement indefinitely and that it was
the duty of the government to dis
charge its resposibility in that con
nection. -
The . King, greatly displeased, pro
posed to invite coal owners and the
miners' representatives to Bucking
ham Palace, believing that he could
force them to accept the government's
proposal.
The Queen is believed to have in
fluenced the King.
Asauith had great difficulty in per
suading him that the failure of such
an extraordinary expedient would
have the worst possible consequences.
The King also wished to address a
public appeal to owners and miners,
but Asquith induced him . to defer
this unusual proceeding until further
efforts to bring about a settlement
have failed.
