PORTLAND, April 37. (To the Editor.) Your editorial of Monday, in which you try to make people believe that a farmer inlKht be ruined by tho building ot a rail road Into some other country, U mostly hofrwaeh or mud thrown out to fool the people, whom you want to vote to con tinue land monopoly. If you want equal taxation, as you pretend, why have you not pointed out the existing Inequalities in .taxation, auch as the undervaluation of all railroads In Oregon outside of Co i .lumbia and I'matilla counties? All the opponents of the single tax amendment are very much worried lost the farmer is hurt by the single tax. but you think It Is all right to assess rail roads at $16,000 per mile when It is pav ing dividends on Wo.000 per mile. Why don't you cry out against this robbery of the farmers in every county of the tate: or is it for the -good of the farmer to exempt SM.000 of every mile of rail road? Again, the S. P. Railroad has more timber land than any other company in Oregon, and pays less taxes. In Clack amas It haa acres, assessed at $15 per acre when it is worth $00 per acre, so the railroad now pays taxes on $wuooo of value when it should be $4,000,000. Here Is an exemption of H.NO.on) that you know la a fraud on the farmers of Clack- 1A HOW amas County, and until you take up such matters as this we -will cot pay much at tention to your cuttle-fish argument about 'justice to the farmer." 4 Your whole fteht against the single tax Is to save the face of the land monopo lists, and you cannot becloud the Issue with straw men. such as "buil calves" and "Guano beds." or farmers that should have a rebate on their taxes from the fact that their land has depreciated In value. You know that the state has been robbed out of thousands, yes mil lions of dollars, by the undervaluations of city land, and while we cannot have a reassessment for all the past years, we can and must stop the robbery of the farmers and the other common people by this system of robbery that you are pleaded to call "equal taxation." We quite agree with you that the "farmer should not pay taxes on his stock and improvements as the very ex istence of society depends upon their development." but while you say so in words, we, the single taxers, are showing our faith by our works. We are pro posing a law that will do that very thing. The purpose of the single tax amend ment Is to relieve industry and thrift from taxation and last, but not least, to break trp land monopoly. OREGON TAX REFORM ASS'S, By H. D. Wagnon, Pres. BISHOP HOGUE TO PRESIDE Will Conduct Free Methodist Con ference, Which Convenes Today.

R. Blystone Establishes an Alibi by Being in Time for Dinner. WIFE COMES TO RESCUE Arrest Tor Passing Bad Checks Is Set Down as a Cae of Mistaken Identity Prosecuting Wit nesses Too Positive. The fact that he went home to din ner an hour earlier than usual last Thursday . afternoon, was the circum stance that saved O. R. Blystone, a young man of good connections, from conviction on a charge of passing 4 i.y r worthless checks, when his trial came up before Municipal , Judge Cameron yesterday afternoon. The testimony - presented against Blystone, who is a son-in-law of W. A. Storey, was seemingly conclusive. He was positively identified as the man who passed a worthless check for IS at the Mount Hood saloon last Thurs day.. J. L. Taylor, an employe of the Standard Oil Company, who was in the saloon when the cheek was passed, and John Smith, the bartender who was vic timized, were both positive in their Identification of the accused. They said he entered the place about 5:30 or a little later, had several drinks, and then flashed the check, drawn on the Yale Laundry Company. The check was cashed without Question. Testimony was also presented to show that Bly stone once .passed a bad check on the Y. M. C. A... but was not prosecuted on account of repenting and making good the amount. Taylor and Smith were both positive as to the hour of Blystone's appearance at the saloon, and this positivenesa was what upset the state's case, for Blystone succeeded in establishing an alibi that was satisfactory to the court. Mrs. Blystone first testified that her husband reached their apartments at the Beaver Flats at 5 o'clock, or a few minutes before. Mrs. Banks, proprie tress of the place, corroborated this to the extent of saying she saw him about the place about 5:.10. Mrs. Campbell also testified to seeing Blystone In a grocery store near the flats a few min utes before 6 o'clock. t Judge Cameron was thus left in a dilemma. The witnesses were all re garded as reputable." Yet someone was necessarily mistaken. The Mount Hood saloon is located well over on the East Side, at East Water and Madison streets. Tho flats are on Marshall street, and fully two and a half miles distant from the saloon. Blystone could hardly have been at both points at one and the same time. In passing on the case, the court said he was inclined to regard the possibil ity of mistaken identity. At least the evidence was not sufficient, in his opin ion, to hold Blystone. Accordingly he dismissed the case. The unpleasant ending of a com mendable plan of two world-weary people to get off on a ranch by them selves and forget the past and the big busy world was recited In the Munici pal Court yesterday. The case occu pled nearly four hours, and In many Are OUR LINE OF is the largest to be found in the Our Alligator Line of BAGS is especially strong. Did you ever see an alligator trunk? We have them in steamer trunks in 28 and 32 inch sizes. Come in and examine them. , i 1 i In respects was the most unusual hearing ever brought up in that court of queer cases. Frank Redstacher, formerly of Port land, but lately of Roseburg, was ac cused by his wife of having driven her from the ranch to earn money by un lawful means, a jocation not altogether novel to her. Redstacher. on the other hand, accused his wife of having brok en their compact to lead a rural life by eloping with a visitor at their ranch and returning to Portland to take up ber old way. The couple were married during the Lewis and Clark Exposition. At that time Redstacher was proprietor of a no torious saloon on Fourth street, near Sal mon, while bis bride was but that doesn't matter. Redstacher got rid of his saloon, his wife got rid of her bad habits and they left together, buying a ranch, near Roseburg, where they did very well for a time. This much is admitted by both, but thereafter their accounts differ. Red stacher told the court that when things were at the heighth of prosperity on the ranch, along came one Axtel Peterson, former friend of Mrs. Redstacher, to visit at the ranch. He suspected Peterson had been invited and did not happen along by chance, but said nothing. This was only a short time ago. He aw)ke one morning to find he had the ranch all to himself. His wife had gone and so was - Peterson. Redstacher went to Roseburg, followed the line of least re sistance, and shortly was back behind the bar as bartender. Mrs. Redstacher came straight to her old haunts. She was arrested several nights ago by the indefatigable Tom Kay, terror of all wrongdoers. She was not what would be called sober at the timt and was making quite a dlstrubance. When taken to the station she swore that her husband drove her from the ranch with instructions to make her living as best she could, without working, and not to forget to send him an occasional re mittance. The police made further in vestigation and decided to arrest Red stacher and bring him to Portland on the charge preferred by his wife. Redstacher caused a number of farm ers living near Roseburg to be subpenaed to testify as regards his wife's conduct while on the ranch and to tell of his own good reputation while in that community. But Deputy District Attorney John Stev enson had considerable evidence to show Redstacher's guilt and with Attorney John K. Logan, who appeared as special prosecutor, insisted on conviction. Judge Cameron took the case under advisement. Redstacher, if acquitted, has said he will seek to prosecute his wife on a statutory charges. John Greider, a contracting carpenter, residing at 941 East Gtisan street, was before the court pn a charge of having raised a disturbance in the middle of the night As a matter of fact, his wife raised the commotion, although Greider caused her outcries, which aroused the neighborhood at 1:30 A. M. yesterday, by seizing a shotgun and threatening to kill himself. Greider admitted he threatened .to kill himself and might have carried the threat into execution had not Patrolman Keith rushed Into the place and disarmed him. He said he was discouraged because of illness and because of his wife's bad health which necessitated endless doc tor's bills. It was said by friends that Greider Is given to fits of slight mental derangement. Dr. Clarence True Wilson appeared in behalf of Greider and held a long con ference with Judge Cameron and the hus band and wife. Greider finally said he would try to face his burdens," take a more cheerful view of life and leave off brooding. With this understanding, he was allowed to go. His gun, however, was retained by the court. ASK FDR FLEET MANEUVERS KEQVEST VESSELS SPEND MY OFF ClrATSOP BEACH. Commercial Organizations to Be In vited to Participate In Appeal to War Department. Portlands commercial bodies today will be asked to unite in an appeal to the War Department that the fleet of battleships be directed to devote one dayvto maneu vering off the Clatsop Beach en route from San Francisco to Seattle. This plan for bringing a part of the fleet within the reach of the average Portland citizen without entailing a trip either to San Francisco or Seattle originated with Din J. Jloore, of the Danmoore. He will to day take the subject up with Tom Rich ardson, manager of the Portland Com mercial Club, and Secretary El C. Gilt- ner. of the Chamber of Commerce, and suggest that negotiations Immediately be opened with the Secretary of War at Washington. Until recently Mr. Moore resided at Seaside and from his acquaintance with the Clatsop Beach knows that there is an abundance of water to enable the battle ships safely and easily to come within a mile of the Summer resort city. He main tains that since the War Department has turned Portland down in its request for a visit from the fleet, the request to permit the battleships to loiter for a day opposite Seaside and in the vicinity of Tillamook Head may be acceded to. "A request for the fleet to approach the Clatsop Beaoh Is more reasonable than that of other places that have been vis ited." said Mr. Moore yesterday. "At Ixng Beach it was Impossible for several of the battleships to get within three miles of the ctty. The Government charts show a depth of 32 fathoms, or 192 feet, at Tillamook Rock, while there Is a depth of 16 fathoms, or 96 feet, inside of Tilla mook Head. The same measurements erive a uniform depth of 63 feet along the b?ach and within a mile of Seaside. There could Be no possible danger because of luck of water, and If the department can be induced to modify the Itinerary of the fleet In this slisrht particular I am satisfied we can get the battleships to stop. It will be possible for the entire fleet easily to get within a mile of Seaside.

BANQUET REV. MARCOTTE Class or V M. C. A. Present Him With Watch-Guard. An enthusiastic leathering of the men who were in the T. M. C A. "Hike to Hood" last year, and who after wards formed a bible-class under the leadership of the Rev. Henry Mar cotte. of the Westminster Presbyter ian Church, met last night to give a banquet to their leader. The chair was taken by Fred kelson, who ex plained the men had met to show their appreciation of Rev. Marcotte by pre senting him with a irold watch guard. Mr. Nelson said. "Tnis Is only the second rednion We have had since our trip to Hood, and we wanted to make it not only a reunion but the occasion of making a small presentation to Mr. Marcotte. who for 32' weeks has led this class, which has been one of the best ever held at the Association." Then turning toward Mr. Marcotte, "I want to ask you to accept this gold watch guard as a token of the esteem and respect in which you are held by this class." Mr. Marcotte had difficulty in find ing words, he said. In which to ex press his appreciation of the presenta tion, Mr. Marcotte continued, "You men know, or if you don't, you ought to know, that it has been a delight to me to take this class, and if the class has had as much pleasure in coming as I have had in being here, we can call it a success Under such circum stances as these, the best that can be said is 'thank you'." Following Mr. Marcotte I. B. Rhodes indulged in reminiscences regarding the Mount H od trip, and expressed the hope that they would have Mr. Marcotte with the class this Summer when it hikes to Crat.ir Lake. It is proposed to make thf class a Tues day evening outdoor Bible-Class and the secretary is listing men wishing to join. Reed French Piano Mfg. Co.
