Located directly in the center of such hih
class additions as Irvington, Alameda Park,
Iicaumont and Laurelhurst, is 40 ac res of
land formerly known as the "IJuckman
Tract," Imt now platted as "Hollyrood."
The location of the property itself is an,ab
solute guarantee of its future high position
among Portland residence districts. Great
care has been observed in platting "Holly
rood," 'the smallest lot being 50x100 feet
and some lots 50x150 feet.
"Hollyrood" is close to the center of the
business district and is in the center of the
best residence district of Portland. Hun
dreds of fine homes have been completed
for two miles bc3'ond "Hollyrood" and
building activity is seen on ever hand.
The next few months will record even
greater activity than in the past.
"Hollyrood" Is not a suburb it is a part
of the residence district of the city.

Three carlines, the Broadway car on the west,
the Rose City Park car on the south and the new
Beaumont car on the east, serve "Hollyrood,"
; and the proposed extension of the Broadway ear
to the intersection of Beaumont and Siskiyou
streets has been planned and this will serve the
addition one and one-half blocks from the north
boundary. . "
Now for a Comparison of Prices Lots in Irv
ington, on the west of "Hollyrood," are from
$2000 to $4000 per lot; in Alameda Park, on the
north, from $1500 to $3500 per lot; Beaumont,
. on the east, from $1000 to $3000 per lot, and in
Laurelhurst, on the south, from $1500 to $3500
- per lot. Now the comparison.
A full-size lot in "Hollyrood," $850 to $1000
each. No higher. Think of it. A lot in this
tract, bounded by 33d street on the west, Siski
you street on the north, 37th street on the east
and Brazee street on the south, for $850. And
full-size lots, 50x100 feet and 50x150 feet each.
Study the location map above and see for your
self the comparison of prices. You know the
value of a dollar. "A dollar saved is a dollar
earned." Why pay $1500 to $3000 for a lot
adjoining "Hollyrood," when you can buy a
"Hollyrood" lot for $850 to $1000?

SINGLE TAX TOPIC
A. L Veazie Warns Realty Men
Against U'Ren Measure.
ADVOCATES' MOTIVES SEEN
Vltinrat Aim Would Bo to Ocmf la
rate Into Pnblto Treafrary Entire
Site Value of Land Opposi
tion 1 Very Strong-.
In discussing the TTRen alngrle tax
measure before the Portland Realty
Roard last Monday. Attorney A. L.
Veaxle declared that the slngie tax ad
vocates had openly avowed that It was
th.lr clan to aire to Oregon the Henry
Oeora-e, Jr, system, call In r for conns-
ration Into the publlo treasury me
entire gTound rent or alte value of land.
In the course of hi address It waa ad
mitted by some of tha slnarle tax ad
herents nreaent. when-he put the laaue
squarely before them, that the ultimate
aim would be to eliminate private
ownerahls altogether, ao that all land
could revert back to the Government.
"Thla movement proviaes ror tne
adoption of the fundamental principles
of the Henry George theory, but the
slngle-tsxers don't like to have this
faot mentioned In connection with their
present proposal," aald Mr. Veasle. "By
confiscating the entire ground rent
into the publlo treasury, there would
be left to the. owner of unimproved
Drooerty nothing but the nominal title.
all the benefit going to the publlo. The
method of accomplishing thla end. as
advocated by Mr. George. Is precisely
the plan now being pushed In Oregon.
It means the consolidation of all taxes
on the land value, when, as Mr. George
says, the next step, whtoh is to raise
taxation so aa to take the whole rent
for common purposes, will be easy and
a mere matter of course-' In other

word, the legislation the people are
now asked to enact Is admittedly the
opening wedge, to use the. words of
Mr. U'Ren. for accomplishing the total
confiscation of land vaiuea Into tha
public treasury, and that without a
cent of compensation to tha present
owners,
"Yet It Is argued that, stopping short
of complete confiscation, we can gain
great benefits by shifting all present
taxes to the ground value. They say
I that by doubling the taxes on land we
j will fotce all owners of vacant lots
' either to sell or build. They could not
I sell, because there would ba no more
reason for anybody to buy than for
them to hold. Everybody cannot build
at once, nor can any large proportion
of owners, for several reasons. Build
ing must keep pace with demand. Over
building would be disastrous to own
ers and the public, with Its aftermath
of empty building and Idle building
trades.
"If the ground value were reduoed
or swept away by the increase of taxa
tion, the owner could not secure a
loan on the land to put up a house or
building, as he now can do. One of
the present main Inducements for capi
tal to buy land and put up building
would be wiped out entirely that Is
the anticipated profit from the rise In
ground- value. The builder would be
compelled to get his money back and
hla entire profit out of the building
alone. Thl would mean much higher
rent.
"It is said that the exemption of im
provements from taxation would be a
great lnduoement, but It 1 a puny
consideration beside the other element
that enter Into the proposition. It
certainly cannot be an advantage to
anyone, because It Is offered on equal
terms to all competitors.
"Taxation ought to prevail In ac
cordance with one's ability to pay.
The slngle-taxer want to put the
heaviest burden on the one least able
to pay. He says that the man who
owns a pleoe of raw logged-off land
ought to pay a much taxes on It while
he Is struggling In his poverty to con
vert it into a larm as bis rich neigh
bor pay who has bought a fine bear
ing orchard, all stocked and eouinned.
yielding lta thousands a year, with a
mansion xor a dwelling."
Others declared that the adoption of
aingie tax -wouia bring about an In
dustrial crisis In Oregon. Among those
who objected to the proposal were C
K. Henry and William KUllngsworth.
C. 8. Jackson spoke In favor of 'the
measure.
