"3essssssj- WEEKLY -ENTERPRISE ESTABLISHED IS66 VOL IV. No. 100. OREGON CITY, OREGON, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1912. Per Week, 10 Cexts SHIELDS AND U'REN Hi! BACK HARD SINGLE TAX DEBATE IN OREGON CITY INTERESTS LARGE CROWD I ' CHAIRMAN ASKS PERTINENT QUESTION League Secretary Frankly Admits Rich Men are Behind Him Serum Simile Is Worth Ponlering Declaring that Joseph Fels, the single tax "angel" in Oregon is in the position of the medical expert in the Rockefeller Institute Charles H. Shields, secretary of the Equal Taxation League, in a debate with j W. S. U'Ren, Fels' paid agent, scored a big point Saturday at the Shively Theater, which was crowded to the doors. Mr. Shields eaid that when the Rockefeller men wished to find out how certain serum would act they first experimented upon rabbits and guinea pigs, and if efficacious' they later used it upon human beings. He resented Mr. Fels, who is a million aire of Philadelphia, coming thous ands of miles, across the continent, to Oregon, to put his theory into act- ive operation among people just as ' good as any in the world. He declar ed if Mr. Fels were sincere, and be lieved single tax a panacea of all ills,' he should first try to put it into operation ""in his home state. Mr. U'Ren, the leading champion of single tax in Oregon, eulogized Johnathan Bourne and Theodore Roosevelt. When Mr. Shields asked his single tax opponent why he con doned Senator Bourne's attitude in repudiating the primary law, which Mr. U'Ren framed, the Oregon City man had no answer. The crowd seem ed to be about equally divided bet ween the two speakers, and both scored telling points. Mr. Shields was applauded when he announced that Mr. U'Ren after several days of urging had finally come to his office Saturday and got a complete state ment of the money received and paid out by the Equal Taxation League. He said the total was about $17,000 and admitted that the , Ladds and Corbetts and other rich men had con tributed to the fund. Their object was, he said, to try to prevent a scheme of taxation being foisted up on the public which would be injur- ious. He said his backers realized if the farmers, laborers, etc., suffered from single tax, they naturally being of the people and mutually depend ant upon each other would suffer. TUa speakers referred to each other as ''Willie" and "Charlie", which was not entirely approved by the aud ience. Mr. Shields accused Mr. U'Ren of having called him "Charley" Et Hood River, and said he was justifieu in referring to his opponent as "Wil lie." Mr. Shields, who spoke first, traced the growth of the present system of taxation. He said it was the surviv al of the fittest scheme of raising rev enue to carry on the work of county, state and union. Other systems had been tried, in fact single tax, and had been cast aside because they were " not satisfactory. He declared that all property, regardless of what shape should bear its just proportion of the taxes. He thought this statement axiomatic, and declared that was why men clamored for an income tax and an inheritance tax. Property, he said, - was only valuable because (Continued on page 4) AT THE -4 days Commencing Today The Man and Woman Comedy Singing and Dancing Act Amateur Night Monday Night Hunters JFltf CPHftftI TFYT II OUIIUUL ILAI SIS ARE ASKED CLACKAMAS COUNTY LEAGUE THINKS STATE SHOULD ' PUBLISH THEM CALAVAN IS ' ELECTED PRESIDENT Dr. Coleman, of Reed College, Deliv ers Fine Address at Parent Teacher Meeting in Wil lamette J.

The other members of 'the committee are County Superintendent Gary and the officers of the league. A resolution urging a change in text books in grammar, 'spelling, pen manship and reading was adopted. It was also suggested that the state should publish the text books for the county schools, which met with the unanimous approval of those present. A resolution providing that a com mittee be appointed to arrange a ban quet for the men principals and teach ers to organize the debating and oth er speaking contests was. adopted. The banquet will be heldtin a week or two. A parent-teacher meeting was alsol held at Willamette Saturday. Dr. Coleman, professor of, literature in Reed College, made the principal ad dress. "Picture Study" was the sub ject of an interesting address by Miss Vinnie Hewitt and Miss Lena Ulren rendered a solo. "The High School Fund Law" and "What can parents do to help schools", were the subjects for general discussion. The attend ance was large and the women of Willamette provided an excellent din ner at noon. - JUDGE DIM TALK FOR EQUAL SUFFRAGE Mayor Grant B. Dimick was the main speaker at a meeting of Warner Grange, at New Era, Saturday after noon at a discussion of equal suffrage and the various single tax measures. There was a good attendance at the grange meetrtig, a musical program being an entertaining feature. ' Mayor Dimick explained to his au ience the injurious effect's of the Sin gle Tax measures that will go on the ballot at the coming November elec tion and was warmly applauded. In his speech favoring eaual suffrage he made the following telling points: The women have been given the right of franchise in the state of Washington on our north, Idaho on our east, and California on our south, as well as Colorado, Utah and Wyom ing, ana in those six states the com mon welfare of their people has been greatly improved for the reason that there is no taxation without repre sentation Over a million women will vote in tuis presidential election, Ore gon is the only coast' state whose women are not represented. The taxes in Oregon have been in creasing at an alarming rate during the past few years, and as the women of the state are among its largest and heaviest payers, they should be 'al lowed a voice in the management of municipal,' county and state govern ment. Approximately forty per cent, of the taxes in Oregon are paid each Year by the women, and they are com pelled to stand at the sheriff's office awaiting their turn to meet their ob ligations, and are compelled to mingle i with men of every nationality, and no one who is opposed to women's rights ever asserts that it is injurious to her reputation or does violence to her character, although, we hear 4t said that if women should g to the polls to vote, the men would lose all respect for their sex. People of foreign countries come to our state and in two year's time, by simply declaring their intention to become citizens, are given the right of franchise a large percentage of whom cannot read or write the En glish language and never take any in terest in our public institutions nor pay a cent of tax. Notwithstanding these facts, they become legal voters, while the women who were born and educated in this country and who mould the character and shape the destinies of our young people, are de nied the right of franchise." "BILLY SUNDAY" SOLD FOR J. Wallace Cole, of this city, Sat urday sold "Billy Sunday", one of the best pacers in the state, to Frederick Heft, of Highland. The price was more than $500.

OREGON CITY AND HOLLIDAY TO PLAY The Holliday Athletic Club's foot ball team will clash with Oregon City's undefeated team this afternoon on the Canemah grounds. The game will be called at -2: 30 o'clock. The Holliday boys were the Portland champions last year, and it is said they have a heavy and fast lineup this year. The Oregon City boys un der the suberb coaching of Earl Lat ourette should show up better today even than they did two weeks ago when they defeated the Columbia Park team 48 to 0. The boys have been practicing almost every night during the past week in the Armory hall. They will have several new plays to "pull off" it is said. A large crowd will no doubt turn out, as this game is expected to be one of the hardest fought of th"e season, the two clubs being of almost even weight and both having men on their teams of exper ience. "King" Cole will referee the game the other officials to be chos en this afternoon upon the arrival of the Holliday boys. 1 COTTAGE GROVE, Or., Oct. 26.
