as 1 understood it. and a responsive
expression tippeiired ou her face. I
spoke of evil things, and there was no
response whatever, showing that evi!
had uo place in her nature; she only
knew it by name. When 1 had partly
finished the picture I thought I would
try an experiment. 1 would tell her
that she was sitting as a model for
the good. The information drew forth
a look of astonishment.
"Why, I am not good," she said.
"That you are unconscious of being
good proves to me that you are."
"Eureka!" I wrote my friend. "1 am
your debtor for life since you have
found for me the model. I needed. My
fortune is made."
"Nonsense." was the reply. "You
have fallenin love. I thought it time
you were settled, so I proposed to send
you models for the good, knowing that
if you loved, the woman you loved
would represent the good In your eyes."
I wrote back denying the allegation,
but time proved her right.

WEST MAKES WAR
UPON SINGLE TAX
GOVERNOR AND TAX COMMISSION
TO SUBMIT PLAN.
Oregon Equal Taxation League Joins
Hands With Executive Against
Tricky U'Ren and Fels Fund
Propaganda.
At the request of the State Tax
Commission, which intends in its own
measures to prosecute vigorously the
war against Single Tax, the Orogon
Equal Taxation League withdrew its
initiative retition ag;inst Singla Tax.
This petition whs s'gned by almost
14,000 registered voters anl repre
sented the sentiment of at lease 50.
000 voters, whom it was impossible to
reach in time. The signatures were
obtained by voluntary circulators, most
of them farmers. Over 12,000 of the
signatures were obtaiited outside Mult
nomah County.
Fearing a chaotic condition in the
minds of voters, Governor West wrote
to the Equal Taxation League in Port
land requesting that their measure
be withdrawn.
Issue Clear Says West.
By so doing, he said, "the issue will
be clearly drawn between two sys
tems of taxation one of which is
Single Tax, the other in opposition
to Single Tax, and at the 'same time
presenting a rational plan of tax re
form which will remove many of those
causes which breed discontent, and
give life and suport to many radical
schemes of taxation."
The letter was singed by Governor
Oswald West, Secretary of State Ben
W. Olcott, State Treasurer Thoams B.
Kay and Tax Commissioners J. B.
Eaton and Charles W. Galloway.
"While not specifically declaring
against Single Tax the bills of the
State Tax Commission will have the
effect of nullifying the U'Ren cam
paign, and make it impossible to se
cure Single Tax county legislation by
trickery or otherwise," said Phil
Metschan, president of the Equal
'. axation League.
"The decided stand taken by the
Governor and the Tax Commission
against Single Tax renders it unneces
sary for our league to bring our bill
before the people at the next elec
tion. Joint Work to Be Done.
"Our organization will now get be
hind the Commision's reforms and at
the same time we shall continue our
campaign against the Single Tax
'measures proposed by U'Ren and the
paid beneficiaries and emissaries of
the Fels Fund."
In writing to the Tax Commission
and agreeing to withdraw "its measure,
the Equal Taxation League said:
"It appears to us, in view ct the
definite stand your Commis-'jh has
taken against Single T , ' that". By
joining forces -with yc -die Opposition
to the Single Tax propaganda in Ore
gon will be cijucentrated and made
more effective and that confusion will
be avoided, In other words, as you
say, 'the issue will be clearly drawn
between two systems of taxation
one of which is Single Tax and the
oth'jr in opposition to Single Tax.' "
The numbers of the tax measures
on the ballot, which will bar Single
Tpx are 304, 306 and 308.
TEACHERS IN OPPOSITION.
If any one class of persons might
be expected to favor Single Tax, it
would be teachers and those "who
have studied Henry George's "Prog
ress and Poverty." Yet the in
structors of Oregon revolt at the
scheme. They realize that Single
Tax spells state ownership, and while
personally they might be a little the
gainer for a time they know that
ultimately the taxes will be just as
high or higher, for precisely the same
sum as before will have to be raised.
Willard W. Austen, County School
Superintendent of Grant County, who
lives at Hamilton, Oregon, is but one
of the many teachers who boldly ex
presses himself on the subject. "I
am now and have always been strong
ly opposed to the Single Tax idea,"
comments County School Superintend
ent Austen.
ACTION PLEASES NEWSPAPER.
The Grants Pass Observer re
cently had this to say, following the
action of the Josephine County
Grange in condemning the proposed
Single Tax measure: "The action of
the State Grange in condemning the
proposed Single Tax bill will go a
long way to putting an end to that
fake measure in Oregon. No land
owner who understands the Single
Tax scheme will be foolish enough
to vote for a measure, the real pur
pose of which is to destroy all pri
vate ownership in land."
WOODEN SIDEWALKS TO BE
REPLACED BY CEMENT
The wooden sidewalk fronting the
property of the Seventh Street Hotel,
owned by J. H. Mattley, and that in
front of the Duane Ely store, is being
removed, and a cement walk will be
constructed. Harry Jones has the con
tract of the building of the Ely side
walk. Mr. , Mattley, besides having
the walk in front of his home will have
cement steps and walk leading to his
house.
THE BRIGHT SPOTS.
No man knows his strength or
his weakness till occasion proves
it If there be some thoughts
and actions of his life from the
memory of which a man shrinks
with shame, surely there are some
which he may be proud to own,
and. remember forgiven injuries,
conquered temptations (now and
then) and difficulties vanquished by
endurance.
SPUD GROWERS WAIT
TOR SHIPPING PRICES
The weakness at present in the po
tato trade is probably the greatest ev
er known in this section.
Sales of fancy stuff of the new crop
are being made as low as 60c per cent
al in Portland and no producers are
asking more than 75c for quality. At
the latter price there is scarcely any
movement and the lower figure fails
to enthuse buyers to any extent
Quality of arrivals is rather good
and it will not be long before outside
shipment can be safely made. Until
this is possible the market cannot be
otherwise than a nominal affair be
cause of. the peddling from sfore to
store by nearby producers.
Quite a fair suply of old potatoes
remains. Some of these have come
forward from the Hood River section.
Receivers are unable to move them
for the simple reason that all buyers
have more than their, requirements
and are not speculating. It is stated
that one big lot from the apple sec
tion has been going begging at 25c a
cental, but up to this time no sales
of consequence have been made. It
is stated that growers of this, stock
were freely offered $1.50 per cental
last fall but wanted more money.
Therefore they are compelled to stand
the loss.

follows:
DRIED FRUITS (Buying), Prunes
on basis 6 to 8 cents.
HIDES (Buying), Green hides 6c
to 7c; salters 7c; dry hides 12 c to
