The law covering the fining of cap

SINGLE TAX PUNCTURED
MOVEMENT IX OREGON SCORED
BT CLACKAMAS GRANGE.
Farming Interests Go on Record as
Bitterly Opposing Shaping Legis
lation Here by Outsiders.
OREGON CITY, Or., Jan. 12. (Spe
cial.) The single-tax movement In
Oregon was punctured this week, by
Clackamas County Pomona Grange at
its quarterly meeting with Harding
Grange at Logan, In a resolution that
scores the men who are promoting the
single-tax propaganda In Oregon under
salaries from the Joseph Fels fund.
Harvey G. Starkweather, maater of Mll
waukle Grange, fathered the resolution
and had an easy time securing Its adop.
tlon. the main opposition coming from
O. D. Robblns, of Logan.
The action of the Pomona Grange,
which has representatives from every
part of Clackamas County, plaoes the
farming Interests of this county on rec
ord and shows the weakness of the single-tax
movement here. The resolution
follows:
Whertas. It Is a notorious fact that a
large amount of money Is being contributed
to a fund to Influence lezlslatlon In the
fitate of oreeon. and
Whereas, such contribution eomes Is a
large part from wealthy Interests outside
the atate. and
Whereas, such foreign Interests csn have
no lesltlmate nor proper motive In shaping
the legislation in our atate. and
Whirua. suoh suggested legislation would
provide for the exemption from taxation of
a considerable portion of the wealth of our
state, and would thereby additionally burden
the lands of the state which are now bear
ing more than thetr Just share of the ex
pense of government, and
Whereas, such legislation would be gen
erally detrimental to the atate and especially
so to the fanning Interests.
Therefore, be It resolved, that we, the
Ormncen f Clackamsa County. In district
Pomona Orange, assembled at Logan. Or.,
oa thla 10th day of January, 1812. da de
novnee this extraneoae campaign fund as a
menace to ear system of government.
Be It further resolved, that we condemn
as un-Ameiicaa and unpetrlotto the distri
bution of such a campaign fund.
Be It further resolved, that we condemn
the single tax as a most vicious form of
class legislation.
Pomona Orange also adopted a reso
lution favoring the equal suffrage
amendment to the Oregon constitution,
and in another resolution the Grange
urged the County Court to take over
the Clackamas County Fair Association
and manage that enterprise, paying off
the mortgage Indebtedness of about
$5000 and taking possession of the site
near Canby.
The next meeting of Pomona Grange
will be held April 10 at Eagle Creek.

he declared that the club's real aim
should be the development of its tribu
tary territory. He mentioned that In

club Southwestern Washington waa ad
vertised and that many advertisements
treated of nothing but that section. He
said the commercial organizations or
the Northwest wanted a live organiza
tion here to whom they could refer
lnqulrlers.
That Kalama has under considera
tion a site for one of the largest fac
tories in the world was announced by
Mr. Raymond shortly before the ad
journment of the meeting.
"In the United States there are but
two factories manufacturing a partic
ular product." he said, "the others are
In Europe. In my trip East to promote
the establishment of factories on the
Paolfto Coast. I learned that the larger
of the two American factories plana a
branch here."
Mr. Raymond's announcement was
greeted with applause that lasted sev
eral minutes.
D. O. Lively remarked that there was
no need In the Northwest for greater
development of the cities: It was the
country that demanded attention. The
newcomer ought to be advised, he said.
that be could , grow In Oregon and
Washington what he was accustomed
to grow at home; that diversified farm
ing and tha raising of livestock waa
Just as Important as the apple Indus

tem. City Attorney Stone, of Kalama, men
tioned that this city planned to con

SOCIALIST VOTE HEAVY
Four Million Cast Ballot at Elec
tions In Germany.
BERLIN, Jan. IS. An nnprecedently
heavy Socialist vote, which probably
reached 4.000,000. and heavy Socialist
gains proved, as expected, the feature
of the 1912 elections to the Reichstag
held throughout the empire yesterday.
The election was marked also by the
disastrous rout of the radlrala and far
smaller Inroads Into the clerical and
conservative majority of the last
Reichstag than was anticipated.
The results at 2 o'clock this morn
ing, although far from complete, show
that the Socialists have captured 21
seats from the non-Socialist parties
and lost only two, a gain of 19. They
also have entered Into some re-ballots
which would make It seem that they
are almost certain to gain the 81 seats
they held at the dissolution of the
Reichstag in 190 and probably a few
more.
TEACHER HAS CHAMPION
Alfred Moselejr Scores Pompons
' Edncational Boards.
STANFORD UNIVERSITT. CaU Jan.
12. Pompous' boards of education
which underpay school teachers are
striking at the Jlfe of the Nation, ac
cording to Alfred Moseley, head of the
English educational commission, who
spoke his mind on the subject today.
That public school teachers generally
are cheated out ol wnat neiongs to
them by the men who run the schools.
there Is no doubt, in the opinion of the
distinguished Englishman.
"America owes her position among
the nations to her system of free edu
cation," Mr. Moseley declared. "Ameri
can teachers, however, are grossly un
derpaid, and unless salaries are raised,
your system will fall short. If Amer
ica falls, the world will go back to
autocracy and the sword."
Americana, Mr. Moseley said, can
teach progresslveness to the English
and can well learn from them honesty
in business and a desire for equity
among lawyers.
"England is criticised for her aris
tocracy," ho added, "yet you never
hear of American graft and corruption
among English noblemen. Their fam
ily names cannot countenance graft.
"The Idea of too many American law
fen Is to find loopholes In the law,
through which to defeat Justice.
"Law schools must teach higher Ideals.
The lawyer should be a peacemaker
and not a grafting trouble raiser."
Mr. Moseley does not think much of
American newspapers.
"The typical American newspaper.
dealing in sensation and crime and so
ciety rot is a disgrace to your country,"
he said. "The typical EngliBh news- :
paper gives valuable Information,"

MOCK WAR PROVIDED FOR
House Committee Fixes Budget at
$1,350,000.
OREGON IAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Jan. 12. The House committee
on military affairs hss apporeved an
appropriation of 11,350,000 for Joint
maneuvers for the coming Summer. The
Secretary of War has tentatively out
lined a plan that will be followed at
some point on Puget Sound, not yet
designated.
The militia of Oregon, Washington
and Idaho will engage in Joint maneu
vers with regular troops from Van
couver Barracks, Boise Barracks, Fort
Lawton and Fort Wright.
The exact date of the maneuvers has
not yet been fixed. The plan of the
maneuvers will be similar to those
held In Massachusetts two years ago,
when forces were divided, one half
defending the City of Boston, while the
other force undertook to capture that
city.
It is probable that Tacoma or some
smaller town will be the objective
point in next Summer's maneuvers.
The war Department is now corres
ponding with militia officers with a
view to ascertaining how many mili
tiamen will be available for this year's
field work.

Broadway Bridge - Builders
Prefer Portland Mechanics.
OPEN SHOP TO PREVAIL
Thomas Kprle, President of Penn
sylvania Steel Company, An
nounces Policy Ho Denies
Low Bid Is Blotr at Unions.
That Portland structural Iron work
ers will be given preference In the con
struction of the Broadway bridge if
they are willing to work under open
shop rules, is the promise of Thomas
Eaxle, president of the Pennsylvania
Steel Company, of Steelton. Pa., who
arrived in the city yesterday to repre
sent his company when the contract for
the bridge superstructure is let by the
Executive Board.
Mr. Earle says his company Is not
attempting to break the backbone of
organized labor in Oregon, as has been
charged, and declares that the state
ment of labor union officials that it
was for that purpose that the company
made unusually low bids for the work
is absurd. He declares the low bids
were , the result of a lull in work and
were prompted by the necessity of the
company getting a good-sized contract
to fill in an unusually quiet season.
New Blda Advised Against,
"It happened that when the city ad
vertised for bids on the Broadway
bridge we were a little shy on work,"
said Mr. Earle last night, "and we de
cided to go after the Broadway con
tract. We knew the foundation work
had been nearly completed and that
work could be started on the super
structure this Winter. This would ex
actly fit our shop conditions, so we
bid as low as we could on the work.
"There Is some talk of the city ask
ing for new bids. This is not advis
able. I will assure the city that it will
have to pay more for the work If it
readvertlses for bids, because the price
of steel has -gone up and the work
could not be done at a figure as low
as our bid. We made low bids with
the hope of getting the oontract at once,
and the sooner the contract is let the
better It will suit us. We will begin
work lmmediaely.
"As to labor, I will say that the
Pennsylvania Steel Company is In the
field to make money. We have no
fight with the labor unions and I can
assure you that if we receive the con
tract for the work Portland laborers
will be given the work if they will
take it.
Open-Shop Policy Roles.
"Of course we reserve the right to
determine whom we will employ and our
policy Is therefore for the dpen shop.
We do not want to have to Import la
bor and do not intend to do It because
there are plenty of ironworkers here
who can do the work. We favor Port
land laboring people not perhaps for
any sentimental or ptriotio reasons
but from a plain business standpoint.
It costs money for us to Import men
and we will not do it unless compelled.
"Whether the Pennsylvania Steel
Company will sublet the contract for
the work I cannot say. We will de
termine this question when we get the
contract. The possibility of our sub
letting It may depend upon the date we
receive the oontract. IX we have more

work than we can handle expediently
we certainly will sublet. Otherwise I
presume we will do the work our
selves." Mr. Earle says his call here has noth
ing to do with the visit at the same
time of Engineer Ralph Modjeski, who
is on his way to Portland, the presence
of the two men In the city at the same
time being a coincidence.
GARLAND GIVES . SELF UP
