FORUM OF THE PEOPLE
That Antl Single Tax Report.
Canby, Ore., June 7.
Editor of the Enterprise: Being
aware of the prejudice existing among
the farmers against single tax, and
knowing that this same feeling was
being systematically fostered, it was
hardly to be expected that the State
Grange would do other than report ad
versely on this measure, yet, it was
somewhat of a surpnse that, in so
doing,, a body usually deliberative
should allow themselves to be drawn
into the endorsement of a set of res
olutions so reeking with venom, mis"
statements and half-truths as reported
in the the Enterprise" of May 24th.
It savors more of the personal animus
of some individual than the calm
judgment of a thoughtful assembly.
Bro. Gill's letters, however, state that
the biting preamble was later ex
punged from the record. The dele
gates were certainly justified in being
ashamed of the report. To openly and
honestly oppose the single tax move
ment is legitimate warfare, but to at
tempt to create the impression that it
is a "bold attempt of the Standard
Oil Co." is not only slanderous, but
positively " silly. Any one conversant
with- single tax literature, especially
with that weekly evangel of freedom,
The Public, so long and ably edited
by Louis F. Post, knows that nowhere
has predatory wealth and the special
privileges thath make such conditions
possible been more critically portray
ed and the remedies suggested. But
in the case of this particular resolu
tion, the Standard Oil Company, by
its infamous notoriety, is made to do '
service as the "goblm that's going to
get you if yon don't look out."
The array of "denounces" and "con-
denmns" range the whole gamut, from
the hoary "unconstitutional," the fav
orite anthem of the pro-slavery sympa
thizers of the 60's to the ordinary cap
italistic exploiter's "confiscation" and
impair the obligation contracts" song,
but the bright particular star in the
galaxy is No. 5, where after the us
ual "condemn"-and the statement that
"single tax can in no way increase the
wages of the laborer," is blazoned
forth this gem of economic thought;
'that wages can only be increased by
the increase of capital; the increase
in the efficiency of labor, or a de
crease in the number of laborers."
There you have it, the whole comfort
able capitalistic philosophy compress
ed into one sentence. What a shock this
must be to the Socialists; to see the
whole theory of surplus value, so
painstakinly elaborated by Karl Marx,
through hundreds of pages, rom his
torical and statistical data, demolish
ed by mere "be it resolved" or "we
condemn," and the question definitely
settled that labor is receiving the
highest possible reward under pres
ent conditions. A study of the "cost
of production" tables of the census re
ports will tell a different story, but it
is not necessary to go Into statistics
to prove the fallacy of the position
taken in No. 5, for one word will suf
fice and. that work is strikes." Who
ever has witnessed even a hopyard
strike has seen an increase of wages
without "an increase of capital, in
crease in the efficency of labor or de-
Crease m the number of laborers. In
the face of such expressions of a wage
fund theory, it might be well not to
take too seriously the final conclusion
that the adoption of single tax "would
mean ruin to the farmers of Oregon."
the partial application of this principle
in some of the Canadian provinces ap
pears to have no terrors for the actual
producer and homeseeker, even the
American ones, who have emigrated
there by the thousands.
The graduated feature of the land
tax (which for some reason was not
specifically "denounced") has been for
twenty years in operation in New Zea
land; was enacted with the avowed
intention of breaking up the large
holdings and in spite of fhe usual cry
of "confiscation," and within recent
years many of the municipalities have
by local option vote, adopted a yet
nearer approximate to single tax.. Evi
dently the majority there do not f ear
"ruin." J
As a granger I had fondly Rped
that the Enterprise account may have
been inaccurately reported but as sev
eral weeks have elapsed and no cor
rections were made it is evident that
the grange must have "fallen" for the
whole thing.

ARTICLES MANUFACTURED IN
THIS STATE ARE WITHOUT
SUPERIORS
ALMOST EVERYTHING IN LIST NOW
Campaign Urging Oregonians To Give
Preference To Home Made
v Products Is Ef
fective A perusal of the "Made in Oregon"
page ad will be a revelation to al
who-read it. Itwill be an eye-opener
as to the wide scope of Oregon man
ufacturers, and show that our home
people are able to supply the greater
portion of the things in daily . use.
That, other things being equal, Ore
gonians should give the preferance to
Oregon made goods' is so self-evident
that any argument as to the great
good it will accomplish is an insult
to intelligence. Heretofore we have
mentioned the products as advertised
in the uncompleted page ads, and now
take occasion to call attention to those
firms and products added today.
Now to start the day, after you
have had a good night's rest on a
mattress made by the Portland Man
ufacturing Company, and have enjoyed
a breakfast in which is included "a
Stack of hots" served with the deli
cious Tea Garden or Golden Brand
Corn Syrup that will please your pal
ate and stay with you like a brother,
you can begin your day's work, or if
it is your vacation time, you can sit
down and talk to your wife about that
little home you are planning, and read
over the Portland Manufacturing Com
pany's long list of things that are the
very best, and that can be used in
home-making. Or, if you plan a trip
to the mountains, just note how well
the Willamette Tent and Awning Com
pany, a Portland firm, can supply all
your needs in the way of tents, ham
mocks, any thing of that kind needed
in camp.
If you have the ""Back to the farm"
idea, the Pacific Lumber & Manufact
uring Company, of Portland, will sup
ply the lumber and hardwood floor
ing and everything of that kind for
your house. At the same time don't
forget the heating arrangements, 'and
select a warm air furnace made by the
Anderson Steel Company, of Salem,
and there is- none better.
The Star Drilling Company of Port
land can furnish the machines for
drilling a deep well for you, which, of
course you need, as will your neigh
bors. But if you have a spring or
stream that you can pipe into your
house, and prefer that, The Portland
Wood Pipe Company can fit you out
to the Queen's taste.
The Multnomah Box and Lumber
Company will furnish the boxes, crates
and baskets for your fruit and berries
when you get a-going. Then in your
business, no matter what, Ore
gon manufacturers are ready to
furnish you anything and altyou need.
If you are in the saloon business, just
tell the Portland Bar Fixeure Com
pany what you want and leave it to
them to make good, lr you nave a
garage, or are in the automobile trade,
or for that matter, own an auto, just
examine the Economy Leather Tire
Cover made by the Economy Leather
Tire Company, of Portland. Almost
indestructible and puncture proof.
Corrugated Culverts are the cheap
est and best you can use at your home,
or in any occupation you may engage
in that needs anything in that line;
It is made by the Coast Culvert &
Flume Company, of Portland.
The. Portland Iron Works make the
best saw mill machinery that is made
anywhere and if you are in in the
mill business you are missing some
thing if you do not investigate their
stock and machinery before sending
out of the state the good money you
have made in it.
Every printer knows and patronizes
the Beaver Engraving Company of
Portland .when he wants first class
cuts and wants them quickly.
If you are a prohibitionist, water
made in the snow clad mountains of
Oregon is good enough, of course.
Good enough any way, but if you like a
good, cool .summer drink, that cheers
without irritating, Salem beer will go
to the spot very near your heart and
where it will do the most good. You
see it is not necessary to use strong
drink because if you want to get ele
vated, the Portland Elevator Com
pany can take care of you, anywhere
from basement to as high as you want
to go, and after you reach the top the
Pacific Face Brick Company can fur
nish the material to put a solid found
ation under you, or build the house
for your elevator to run in. Besides
they can furnish the brick for your
fireplaces, or any old place except
your hat.
The Portland Fixture Company can
fit up any saloon or drug store, soda
fountain , or any thing of that kind
in first class style, and the Portland
Sheet Metal Works will gladly furnish
the metal windows, fire doors and ev
erything of that kind to make your
stock and building safe.
The printer, the modern kind, with
a linotype or two, can get the best of
materials of the Pacific Metal Works
at Portland and his wife can add to
his happiness, as your wife can to
yours, by putting hot biscuits before
you when you come home tired, 'es
pecially if they are "Lit up" with an
Oregon made product, Eppley's Bak
ing Powders, a Salem firm's make;
while the children will surely be con
tented with a supply of sweets from
the J. N. Matschek Candy Company
of Portland.
Fry's Squirrel Poison, made In Sa
lem, is pleasant to take, for the squir
rels,, but still they don't call for it
the second time. It is good though
for what it was intended for and so is

If you want a show case or any

HAUL I
WILD WEST SHOW
DELfGHTS CROWDS
The 101 Wild West Show made its
first appearance in Oregon City Fri
day and long before the parade start
ed the streets were thronged with sev
eral thousand persons. Many , came
from the country surrounding Oregon
City, aitnougn it is busy time on the
farms. The farmer? abandoned their
rakes, hoes and plows and brought
their families to this city to give them
a treat. It was the best "show" that
has been in his city for years. The
street pageant which started from the
show grounds about 10:30 was headed
by Indians gaily dressed and wearing
war paint In the parade were cow
girls, cowboys, bands, seated on pret
tily decorated bandwagons, Scotch
bagpipe players, and bringing up the
rear was an old coach that had seen
better days, and brought back to the
memory of the old settlers the time
in the West when these vehicles were
used. Also noticeable was an old
prairie schooner hauled by six oxen.
and an oxen drixen by one of the lead
ing women riders. Three huge buffa
loes on a wagon were among the chief
attractions. .The calliope playing the
latest selections was also in line.
The afternoon and the evening per
formances were well attended. There
Was something doing every minute
and the crowds were delighted. The
side shows also were visited by large
crowds. In one were Indian blankets
which were made by the Indians that
travel with the show. Beads made by
tnem also were on exhibtion.
Among those deserving of special
mention were Miss Parr, who is prob
ably one of the greatest broncho rid
ers in the world, Princess Wenona, of
uneyenne, who is a champion shot.
and also experienced horsewoman:
Miss Ollie Swan with her trained six
mules; Miss Ethel Perry, Miss Juan-
ita Perry, Miss Bessie Herberg. Miss
Martha Allen, Miss Lulu Parr, Mrs. D.
V. Tantlenger, J. Rogers, and Wayne
Beasle. The -latter ridesi horseback
without bridle or rein; Hank Walker
(fancy rope thrower) Chester Byers,
(fancy rope thrower,) J. Baldwin
(broncho rider) Hank Darnall (fancy
rope thrower) Tom McKerhon (fancy
rope tnrower.) Tne comedians, who
kept the audience in an uproar by
their witty saying, were Joe Lewis,
Dan Dix and Bill Kereas, J. Lenore, an
accomplished musician, apeared dur
ing the entertainment playing five
different instruments, several of which
have never been played before in this
city. His selections were highly ap
preciated and was forced to respond
to encores.
The 101 Wild West Show has 550
persons connected with it, and is one
of the cleanest shows that ever came
to this city. There are fifty Indians
representing many tribes, twneyt Mex
icans, four hundred horses, buffaloes',
etc. The band of eighty pieces played
lively music during the performance.
The show left this city early thfs
morning for Portland, where it will
exhibit four days during the rose carn
val, and from there will go to The
Dalles, Pendleton and Baker City in

SEEK OREGON HOPS
Developments of the past 24 hours
in the hop trade would indicate that
the chief reason that leading selling
interests of Europe are visiting the
Pacific coast at this time is to cover
their repoTrted short sales at low
prices.
Upon the visit of the foreigners
here various growers, large and small
were called to the office of a broker
connected with the outside buyers and
were introduced to the interests with
the hope that contracts could be si
cured immediately.
So far as known but few growers
took the bait the majority of them
seeing the game and are therefore
holding out for better prices than 25c
a pound.
Just how short the English. trade is
on the 1912 crop of hops none but the
sellers themselves can say positively,
but it is generally understood among
local interests that the selling has
been severe and that the sellers have
become scared and the present visit
to the Pacific coast to induce growers
to let go was the result.
The fact that better prices for the
1912 crop are being offered California
growers than here is an indication
that the bear forces are better organ
ized here and feel that they can make
the growers sell at whatever price
they are willing to offer.
