SOCIALISM AND SINGLE TAX.
; The veryj emphatic declaration c
Congressman Victor Berger, Socialist
member of Congress from Milwaukee,
in Potland that Single Tax was an un
qualified fake, has been responsible
for swinging the entire strength of
the Socialist vote of Orego;i against
Single Tax and Graduated Single
Tax.
Victor Berger condemned Single
Tax because he knew that it involved
the confiscation of the land by the
state, while at the same time ' it en
abled bankers, owners of stocks and
bonds, department store corners, in
fact, everyone but landowners, home
owners, lotowners, to dodge taxation.
No less emphatic than Berger was
Carl Marx, perhaps the leading Socia
list writer, who in a letter to a New
York friend who had sent him a copy
of Henry Georges' Single Tax work,
"Progress and Poverty," said: "
"The whole thing is simply an at
tempt to rescue the rule of capital
ism in fact, to rear it anew on a
firmer basis than its present one.
"This cloven fcoof, together with the
donkey's ears, peeps unmistakeably
out of the declamation of Henry
George."
The foregoing quotation is given
by Arthar M. Lewis in his "Ten Blind
Leaders of the Blind." Mr. Lewis is
a socialist writer of no small repute
and his unqualified rejection of Henry
George is an indication of the manner
in which Oregon Socialists are reject
ing W. S. U'Ren, Alfred Cridge, F. E.
Coulter, W. D. Eggleston, P. W. Ben
gough and the host of other Fels-paid
workers, feeding from the Fels Single
Tax warchest.
FLAT REPUDIATION.
In becoming an independent candi
date to succeed himself ' Senator
Bourne has flatly repudiated the rirect
primary law. This measure is the
very foundation of the Oregon system
of which Bourne has been an avowed
champion. But it is not the first time
he has repudiated this established ltw
of the people. Two years ago he open
ly urged the Republican voters to sup
port the Democratic nominee for gov
ernor as against the Republican ean-
A Footstool Church.
Mr. Raymond Unwin told a story re
lating to the building of St John's
church. South square, Westminster.
The architect, he said, was reputed to
have worried Queen Anne about the
design. Her majesty, at length losing
patience, kicked her footstool over and
remarked in anger. "Build it like that!"
The architect fulfilled the royal wishes,
and the church was built as it stands
today with the corners protruding up
ward like the four legs of a stool.

FORUM OFTHE PEOPLE
GILL ANSWERS GARY.
ESTACADA, Or., Oct. 11. (To the
Editor) I think T. J. Gary is unnec
essarily alarmed over Tax Amend
ment 304-305. Ttte constitution now
allows (by county option amendment
adopted in 1910) the people to adopt
any kind of o tax law they wish
whether it is the kind Mr. Gary fears
they might adopt or not. There has
been no effort made in the last two
years to adopt or even to suggest
such a tax law as he opposes. I am
strongly opposed to any law that
would cripple our schools as he is.
Art. xi sec. 2, of the constitution now
reads in part. "None of the restric
tions of the constitution shall apply
to measures approved by the people
declaring what shall be subject to
taxation or' exemption and how it
shall be taxed or exempted. By this !
the people may make any tax law
they see fit. Tax laws, as well as
any other laws come as the result of
a popular demand. There is no popu
lar demand for the kind of tax law
Mr. Gary fears and there never will
be if the people are informed that it
would injure their schools. The last
legislature was far more criticised be
cause of its fiendliness and liberality
toward the schools and colleges per
haps than for any other cause. It
provided for school supervisors and
three-fourths of the people of Clack
amas county wish that law repealed.
It gave so liberally to the State Uni
versity and Monmouth normal that
the referendum was called upon the
bills. I think the public schools have
nothing to fear from the legislature.
Amendment 308-309 -will repeal the
county option amendment if adopted
and it may be. I wish the constitu
tion to give us the power to classify
properties- for tax purposes. Society
has unwisely allowed large holdings
of land to become the property of one
man or corporation to its detriment
Lands are held out of beneficial use
for speculative purposes. Under
amendment 304-305 speculative hold
ings noi beneficially used may he lev
ied upon at a higher rating and the
speculation in land discouraged. I
think such a classification of proper
ties would be a wise one. Those who
have had anything to do with the ap
portioning of state taxes to the coun
ties know that it is difficult to justly
distribute it. The law requires as
sessors to assess property at its cash
value. But if the assessor of Clacka
mas county assessed at cash value
and the assessors of other counties
asessed at less than cash value Clack
amas county would pay more than
its just proportion of the state tax
Under this amendment the faults of
the present system may be remedied.
This amendment is endorsed by
Governor West and the students of
taxation. It is opposed to single tax
ers as it provides an alternative rem
edy for the evils they claim single tax
will cure. This is one of the grange
amendments defeated two years ago.
In my opinion it had better be adopt
ed. If it is not, single tax may be
adopted one of these days.

FARR BROS. HAVE
FINE NEW STORE
One of the finest store buildings
that has been erected in this city, is
that of Farr Brothers at Seventh and
Monroe streets. The building they
have been occupying was too small to
accomodate their trade so they bought
a lot on Monroe street and erected a
building. On the lower floor facing
Monroe and also Seventh street is
the market of Farr Brothers and ad
joining this is another store 22 x 84
feet, andf leading from 'the ground
floor is a seven-foot stairway to the
five apartments on the second floor,
there being twenty-one rooms on this
floor which are well arranged. W. A.
White was the architect. Every
room is arranged so that they have
good ventilation and light. There are
two flats facing Seventh street, each
of six rooms and baths, while the
other fiats are of three rooms and
baths.
The rooms open into hallways and
are conviently built. Each apartment
at the rear has a large porch and all
the flats have wood sheds, which are
built at the rear of the lower floor of
the building Several of these fiats
have already been rented. .
Farr Brothers' Market, which in
cludes the full cement basement, this
being 54 x 84 feet and ,the corner
storeroom is fitted up with the latest
appliances and fixtures. At the rear
of the salesroom to the left is the
large refrigerator room, this being en
closed in glass arid is 12 x 24 feet.
The cold air from the ice is carried
through this room by means of large
pipes. Opposite this room is the of
fice, while at the rear is the wide hall
way, this opening into the doorway
leading from Monroe street and from
this hallway leading from, the rear is
the sausage room. There are two
large electric motors besides the 2 1-2
ton machine for the operation of the
plant.

NE of the results of the recent Turkish earthquake is believed to have
been the weakening of the walls of the mosque of St Sophia, in Con
stantinople, to such a point that the collapse of its huge dome is feared.
This building, one of the most famous in the world, is nearly l,4(Ju
years old It was a Christian church when the eastern empire was flourishing
under Justinian, who built it, and throughout the rest of the history of the
empire, until at the capture of Constantinople by the Turks in 1453 it became
a Mohammedan mosque The Turks have taken no adequate measures to pre
serve this finest existing specimen of Byzantine architecture, nor have they,
it is said, ever takeu puins to classify or catalogue the treasures of art and
literature supposed to be buried in the enormous vaults beneath it Their
failure to do so if indeed they have not long since destroyed them is at
tributable to the Turkish con tempt for other literature than the Koran and the
Mohammedan religious prejudice against the graphic arts which were believed
to foster idolatrous practices

We know of many who are all in
trim for the start of the Bible contest,
which commences next week. There
are, however, many from whom we
have not heard, and it is time they
got into line. The Morning Enter
prise is a prime necessity and unless
you order at once you may be left out
without a paper from which to cut
the coupon certifying that the neces
ary reading has been done.. If you
have not already ordered the paper,
you had better do so, and if you have,
what better blessing could you confer
upon some friend than by inducing
him or her to take up this easy Bible
study course and sending the Morning
Enterprise during the term it covers?
Think about this and "do it now." We
take this opportunity of thanking the
large number who have spoken words
of appreciation for giving the people
of Oregon City the opportunity of
reading the "Suggestive Questions,"
and for the course of Bible study as
previously outlined. A revival of Bi
ble study promoted by the secular
press is causing all good people to rejoice.
