Inle.e rrinrd In the court, the
ln!e tamers wlU submit under the
Initiative lor adoption In the election
next Tr a bill Introducing the single
tu in e. number of Oregon counties.
Tr.a Initiative petition for such a
maeure are already fin circulated In
Clackamas County and It l to"01"
be the purpoe of the advocates or this
method of taxation to ubmlt the lime
m.aeure In at 1'a.t six other counties
of the state In the same election. THo.
counties are: Multnomah. Yamhill.
Wur.lastoo, Umatilla. Uaaer and
Union.
Aside from revolutionising the prea
ent system of assessment and tassllon.
the bill that will be submitted In Cla
arnas County dispenses with the licens
ing of saloons an! all other businesses
or professions. It la the plan of the
ingle taxers to submit the same bill
In other counties of the state. The
vote of each county will determine
whether slnsle tax will ba submitted
for tha plan bow followed. A substi
tution of the slnsle tax plan In Mult
nomah County would reduce the reve
nues of this county to the amount of
! 114.404 now received from 418 saloons
at $S per 'annum each.
rrobla May Oppose) It.
Whit this provision of the single
tax bill mlaht cspture the liquor vote,
and that undoubtedly Is Its purpose. It
will have the effect of lining- up the
Prohibitionists aalnst the single
taxers. To what exlrnt the anti-liquor
forces would fight any measure that
presumed to remove tha license from
the sale of Intoxicants by saloons rould
not ba lsarned yesterday. J. It- Kno
delL superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
Lesjrue. Is out of the city on his va
cation, while J. P. Newell and K. O.
1 la to a. state and county chairmen, re
spectively, of the Prohibitionist party,
were also out of the city for the day.
There Is no mistaking the meaning
of the bill that has been drafted by tha
single taxers for submission In Clack
amas County, and It will ba the purpose
to submit the same draft of a bill la
the other counties of the state where
the subjsct Is submitted next year.
r-ectlon 1 of the measure provides
that "all business, labor, trades, occu
pations, professions and the right ta
conduct, work at or practice the same:
and all forma of personal property;
suid ail Improvements on. la and under
all lands shall be and hereby are ex
empted from taxation for any purpose."
Succeeding clauses In tlis same section
clearly and expressly do away with
Imposing and collecting liquor licenses
mad all other licenses or occupation
tun That part of tha section reads
as follow a:
Tax on Business Fought.
"Xo tax shall ba Imposed upon any
trade, labor, business, occupation or
profession under the pretext of a li
cense or the exercise of the police
power within said county; but In Its
application to licenses and permits
this Is Intended only to prevent exact
ing of fees therefor greater than the
cost of lam! eg the permit or license,
and Is not Intended Id Impair the police
power of the county, city or state."
In other words, the proposed bill pro
vides expresslv that no license shall be
rharged and collected from a aalooa or
any other Una of business or profes
sion la excess of the actual cost to the
city or county la causing the same to
ta printed exd Issued. For Instance,
the Portland saloonmsa who now pays
annually Icto the city treasury 1 100,
tinder the slnsle tax bill that Is pro
posed would bo called upon to pay prob
ably I cent or II. at any rate not to
exceed the actual cost of printing the
license and tha clerical expense of Issu
ing the same.
These slnsle tax bills will ba sub
mitted la the Several oountlea nnder
authority of a constitutional amend
ment adapted by the people last No
vember. This constitutional amend
ment, ss has been pointed out. was
submitted under a deceptive, title) and
adopted by the electors tinder a mis
understanding of Its real provlsiona
The text of the amendment Indicated
for Its purpose tha repeal of the poll
tax. As a matter of fact it gave to
each county the right to decide for It
eelf vahat property should bo taxed and
wbat property should be exempt front
taxation.
County Initiative Tried.
There exists a question as to whether
the provisions of the amendment are
sufficiently broad to permit of the cir
culation of county Initiative petitions.
This question probably will be tried out
In Cleckamaa County. In which pe
titions are now being circulated. When
the rights of the single taxers under
tha amendment have been established,
they will begin the circulation of their
petitions In other counties of the state.
Tha single taxers will have an oppor
tunity In tha g-oneral election of No
vember. 112. to try out their doctrine
thoroughly and ascertain wbat tha
voters think of their assessment and
taxatlea theory. Ia this election tha
voters will not only pass on tha mesa
tiro proposing single tax with the
county as tha unit, but they will also
pass on a constitutional amendment
repealing that section of the conttltu
tioa under which tha single taxers ara

amendment was adopted by both houses
of the Oregon Legislature last Winter.
Its submission to tha people of tha stats

November. If IS, waa authorised by tha
Jrtalature by an overwhelming vote.
This will giva tha paoplo of tha state

emphatically on tha subject of single
tax. Tha same vote that will adopt

VEXTIOX BENEFIT.
J. T. Smith, of Pennsylvania Line,
Rack Front Atlantic City, Tells
Jlovr Vodgo Advertised Home.
"Portland baa no Idea what a benefit
tha Elks convention vylll ba to tha
city." declared J. T. Smith, soliciting
passenger and freight agent of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, a member of
the local lodge of Elks, on his return
from tha Atlantla City convention yea
terday morning.
Mr. Smith had charge of the special
train as It moved over the Pennsyl
vania lines east of Chicago, and came
la close and constant contact with blga
officials of the organtiatlon.
v'Ksally there was no opposition to
Portland when It came to selecting the
111 convention city." said Mr, Smith.
"Pittsburg never Intended to contest
tha right of Portland, and Baltlmore'a
campaign waa waged only to get In
Une for the 1(14 meeting.
"All delegatea who attend the Atlan
tic City meeting this year will be In
Port lan J next year. Many others re
mained at home this time merely be
cause they felt sura that Portland
would win tha llll meeting and they
those to watt until then for their fun.
"I received Inquiries from lodge rep
resentatives of nearly every big city
east of Chicago regarding transporta
tion to Portland next year. They all
assure me that they will come In large
numbers. New York Lodge will have
a special train. Pittsburg will send
many, as that city wants the 1913 re
union. Boston, Baltimore and Phila
delphia each will have a special train.
Atlantic City Elks will head a party of
New Jersey members on a special train
In return for tha compliment Portland
paid them In providing half of the en
tertainment at this year's meeting.
"Right there Is the reason the Elk
reunions are so popular the Im
promptu entertainment. Atlantic City
bad a splendid and most enjoyable
firogramme and everyone could have
oads of fun, but the most sport was
produced by self-appointed entertaln
rs. . .
"Several lodges had clown bands
with them. They would parade the
streets Ringing and shouting and nat
urally attracted much attention."
Mr. 8mlth. declarea that Portland Is
tha best advertised city In tha country,
lie says everyone has hearl of It and
of the spirit of loyalty among the peo
ple of Portland that lias brought it to
the favorable attention of the country.
They told a story at Atlantic City
that portrays aptly the typical Port
land man away from home.
This man went to a small Eastern
city to visit relatives. None of his
kin met him at the depot so he wan
dered aimlessly about the streets, not
knowing where hey lived. Soon he
same to a church around which a large
crowd was gathered. He learned that
tha fuaaral of a prominent eitisen wae

had been taken 111 suddenly, delaying
the services. While they were search
ing for a substitute preacher tha Port
land man mounted the pulpit and
started:
"Now, I am not a minister and admit
that I'm not worthy of presiding at
such a sacred and solemn service, but
while you are waiting I want to tell
you that I am from Portland. Oregon,
and that we have the greatest country.
the greatest climate, the greatest peo
ple on the face pf the earth, we want
you to come out there. I don't ask you
to stay, knowing that if onoe you
come vou'll never want to return."
The effect was dramatic, and it Is
said the next few months saw a
marked exQdus of residents of that city

The Hurriedly Hade Piano
fl The hastily made piano can be offered for little
money. The one upon which expert worKmen
have put their best efforts and taKen ample time
to produce must bring a higher price, not only be
cause it has cost more to manufacture, but because
it is a better instrument- It is worth more.
9 Experienced musicians and other critical people
invariably buy the better grades of pianos because
they Know that these instruments not only have
finer musical qualities, but last longer.
Q Although many low-grade pianos are repre

Automobiling from San Francisco to
Portland is not all plain sailing, even
when the machine Is geared properly
and no accidents of an ordinary kind
occur to mar the journey. At least
such was the experience of Dr. George
Ainslle, Joe Smith and Herbert Green
land, of Portland, who traveled North
from the Bay City last week.
When they arrived at Klamath Falls
last Thursday none of the trio had
shaved or otherwise paia awenuon i
sartorial decoration. An excitable ;
constable happened upon Herbert
Greenland and gathered him In as a
murder suspect. Dr. Ainslle and Joe
Smith went to his rescue, but their
own uncouth appearance caused con
siderable doubt in the minds of the
authorities, and It was only after
friends from Portland went to the
rescue that the trio was released from
custody. The party arrived home Sun
