WORSE FOR THE FARMER
The farmers of Clackamas County
should remember they have to defend
themselves by their votes against
an ever present class of voters who,
have little or nothing that is taxable,
are' always ready to vote for the bond
issues and extravagant appropriations.
Now, under the Single Tax laws, this
class will be greatly increased for
there will be many men, some of
them very wealthy and influential and
who are powerful in matters of Coun
ty and State Goverment, who will have
little or no taxes to pay. Under the
present system, they are restrained
from voting public extravagance be
cause they have to help pay for it,
but with Single (land) Tax, they will
become very ' careless, or worse, in
their duty to keep the community out
of overwhelming debt.
, The Single Taxers attempt to show
that under their scheme this class
of men with little or no taxes to pay
will be largely increased attracted
ere because of the exemption of their
property. So much the worse for the
farmer. He will be still more at their
mercy. His taxes now figured by the
Single Taxers to be somewhat reduc
ed will soon be higher than ever with
the prospect of speedy confiscation,
which is just what' the Single Taxers
want.
The oflicers and directors of the
Clackamas Southern Railway deserve
considerable praise and credit for the
manner in which they have up to date
handle! the business of the company
No line ever started it's career with
more people knocking but notwith
standing the many onslaught of the
enemy the road is now an assured
reality. A large portion of the road
bed is now ready for the ties and rails
and bv the beginning of winter.. Mc-
lalla corners will be in as close touch
with Oregon City as Oregon City now
is with Portland. This is one of the
greatest enterprises ever commenced
in Oregon City. We want to continue
our record of never having started
something we could not finish. It is
only a little over a year that this mat
ter was first mentioned at a Lave wire
meeting since then, in one short
summer two-thirds of the road bed is
completed. There is no better land
in the world than that which lies
along the right of way of this road
and with a railway, the possibilities
are beyond comprehension. This road
also taps one of the richest districts
of timber and mineral, all of which
will be marketed through Oregon City
Do you wonder that our citizens foster
this new undertakng?

VALLEY SPUD BUYING
HAS BIG SETBACK
Buying in the potato market at Will
amette valley points has entirely ceas
ed. So far as can be ascertained at
this time no business is passing.
Wnile a small number tf old ord
ers have been filled during the last
few days, this is the extent of the
transactions since tne recent snarp
decline in the price in California.
Whilo the hnvinff nric.fi has heen
nominally placed at $1.75 for extra
fancy stock, dealers have turned down
offers of this quality at the price men
tioned, during the past 24 hours.
Dealers are buying some potatoes
from carload , buyers, but even this
business is limited, as everyone seems
to anticipate a slow market for some
time to come.
There haa been no change in the po
tato situation at canrornia -pointa cur
ing the Pst 60 hours, accumulations
at the leading centers being ratner
severe and there is no Inclination
among buyers to take on additional
supples.
FOR SALE.

ATOR LEW SHANK of Indianapolis, accompanied by Mrs. Shank,
recently visited New York to deliver an aaaresss in cooper union
and to observe market conditions in the metropolis. He said after
visiting some of them that the markets of New York were a disgrace
to the city Speaking of the experience wnicn De naa naa wnn me niiuuie
men to be more explicit, with the commission men of his own city, the
mayor said that there' were three ways of getting money through -work, gift
and theft itr.d that the Indianapolis commission men did not get their money
by the application of the first two methods. Mayor Shank 'has won country
wide fame by his campaian to bring the farmers in the country surrounding
Indianapolis in touch with the ultimate consumers of their produce, and last
fall and this winter lie succeeded in lowering prices considerably, in sev
eral cases acting as salesman in the public market and enabling the farmers
to dispose of their fruit, poultry and potatoes without the intervention of the
commission men of the city.

THE SMALL MAN'S CAPITAL IS SAFEGUARDED TODAY AS IT
NEVER WAS CEFORE.
In the seventies and eighties millions of dollars were lost in what
now seems an orr;r of corporation promotion, stock watering and finan

merely paying a price for the PRIVILEGE OF BEING AS-

C. Schuebel- has completed his pe
tition as a candidate for the Republi

Mr. Schuebel is advocating tne ioi-
lowing laws:
For the taxation of appropriated wa
ter powers in Clackamas County rep
resenting more than $11,000,000 in
in value which is not now being tax
ed under the present law.
For the taxation of public service
corporation franchises that are not

ue. For the amendment of the fish laws
