PORTLAND, June 1. (To the Edi

attention of the Portland people to one
delect, and really a very serious draw

Everyone who has an intelligent ap

censure the House of Representatives
for not providing two new Dread

there is a hole through which some ot

make the hole larger for him that all

But after all would not the con
sumers pay the taxes if the single tax
system was In vogue Just the same as
they are now doing. Is It possible that
the farmers would be so altruistic and
philanthropic as to save us this
burden by paying our taxes without
adding ft to the cost of nroductlon.
That Is too unreasonable to even think
about.
But to get back to the nolnt. let us

It is certain that this would do It
without entailing any wrongs such as

It seems the State Board is casting

the position of superintendent of the

politics in appointing a man to take

the best material available, which is
a very creditable method of appoint
