Portland realty dealers to the num ber of about 40 gathered at the Ben son hotel for the regular weekly luncheon and meeting of the Port land realty board yesterday noon, and listened to the firing of the first vol ley before the board in opposition to the single tax. Kobert h.uyKenaan was the speaker, hia address being the first of several he is scheduled to give before the board upon that subject. His topic yesterday was "The Single Tax. a Scheme lor Wholesale Exemptions. The single tax. explained as a scheme to tax land only upon the sup position that land is a gift of God and not a result of man's labor, and that the increase in the value of land is due to society and not to man's ef forts, would result in the wholesale exemption of billions of dollars worth of reaource.s from all taxation what ever, would cause the real property owner to bear a tremendous burden of taxation, and would violate the basic principle of this government thaL, taxation should be apportioned according to ability to pay, the speak er asserted. Wealth Exemption diBTged It was a travesty on Justice, he de clared, that land, which can be neither ruined by fire nor stolen by robbers. should pay the taxes which would to maintain the police and fire depart ments. The wealthiest peoples- and estates in the country, including the .Rockefellers and Morgans, would be virtually exempt from taxation, he said, as far the greater part of their wealth is in stocks and securi ties. Quoting from the Oregon blue book, Mr. Kuykenrlall showed that such a law in Oregon would exempt $:i7,(J00,- 000 of value from taxation and would throw that burden upon the land owners. His statement showed the following exemptions, in approximate figures: Farm improvements, 527, 000,000; town and city improvements, J90.000.000; stocks. $12,000,000; hotel and office furniture $2,000,000; live stock. $17,000,000; boats and manu facturing equipment, $11,000,000; mer rhandlKe and stocks in trade, $39,000, OttO; automobiles and farm imple ments, $ lti. 000, 000; notes and money, $2.000,000. UurtJen on Tan'd Foreseen. Expenses of the government would not be decreased in like proportion, he pointed out, but the entire burden of revenue now coming from personal property taxation would rest upon land. Inheritance taxes, taxes on the capital stock and surplus of banks and license taxes on corporations would also be abolished, he stated. W. S. U'Ken, single tax advocate, was present and made a few remarks upon invitation. The measure which has been initiated and will be before the people at the next election was a poor bill and of litt value, he de clared. He characterized it as lack ing teeth and impossible to enforce. Harry C. Beckwith acted as chair man of the day, and W. B. Shlvely, chairman of the legal committee, ffave another report on the realty business and lire insurance. D0RM1TZER IS REBUKED ATIOnXEV ACCITSED OF BEIXG INTOXICATED DCKI.VG TRIAL.

Dormitzer was fined $10 for con tempt of court during the trial bv Cir cuit Judse Morrow for his insistence in asking questions of ;i witness which had been ruld out of order bv the court. The fine was remitted later. "My only regret of the trial is that I asked Judge Morrow to remit the line." commented Ilammerslev. "Dis barment proceedings should be insti tuted against any attorney who would come into a courtroom in the condi tion you were in. Judge Gatens refused to give a cnante oa venue but complied with Cormttzer's request for retrial before a different Jiitlsca than Morrow, based c-n an affidavit of prejudice which accused the Jurist of beinff moved by consideration for the political Influ ence of Jack Grant, compWining: wit ness, whose card room at Kil'th and Cik streets was held up by Jack fcichultz and another man said to have I been ard.
