cial.) Colonel E. Hofer. editor of th'e
Salem Capital Journal, was here today
interesting the manufacturers and busi
ness men in the work of the Manufac
turers' Association. A big meeting will
be given under the auspices of the as
sociation at the Multnomah Hotel next
Tuesday, when the "made In Oregon"
idea will be thoroughly exploited.
A novel feature of the meeting will
be the wearing of clothing made by the
Oregon City Manufacturing Company
by many of the prominent business
men who attend. Attention will be
called to the fact that the material
was made In Oregon City, and the
tailoring done In Portland. A Portland
tailor recently placed an order of $2000
with the local mill, and it Is declared
that the cloth is as good as could be
ubtulned anywhere.

SINGLE TAX DISLIKED
WHITER OPPOSKS METHOD AND
CITES ARGUMENTS.
Honicbuiltlers Would Be Harried,
Author of Letter Says, by Adop
tion of Henry George System.
PORTLAND, March 2. (To the Editor.)
Single tax is a misnomer and misleading to
a class of superficial minds which fail to
reflect that all things tend to equilibrium.
If one would enjoy an artificial climate,
he must surround himself with walls to
restrict the operation of this law of dis
tribution, which otherwise would tend to
raire the temperature of the whole atmos
phere. The retraining walls of a river serve
the same purpose.
Suppose the counsels of nature to be as
sailed by the suggestion to lay all heat
upon land, or water, or air by the discord
ant voice of some singleheater. and this in
the name of some kind of wisdom or econ
omy! Thee are no Henry Georges in the
counsels of nature. Let us be thankful.
If it is theoretically true that a pebbio
cast into the sea will move evory atom of
water in it, what must be the effect In the
commercial world of laying the whole bur
den of expense upon tea, salt or land?
"Waves of commotion would be set up by such
an attempt, which would continue for
years, to the great annoyance aud distress
of society, and when the inexorable laws
of distribution had finally brought about a
state of equilibrium It would be found that
as to any gain well. yes. society would be
wiser. The boy who swung on the mule's
tall was wiser, afterward, but he wasn't as
"purty" as he was before.
"Scientific management" and "intensive"
farming are the logic of modern economics,
both tending Inexorably to limit the ex
penses of operation to narrowing bounds to
prevent monopoly in business or land. ' One's
ability to raise land to its highest produc
tive efficiency is quite limited, and the stress
of modern economics is compelling him to
divide and subdivide lands, held as a lux
ury or for speculation, among those who
desire small rural homes nnd are able and
willing to raise their standard of productive
ness. The stress of this tendency has even
invaded the feudal estates of Kngland.
When Henry Ge4irge wrote, very little, if
any. of this tendency was discernible, and he
seemed to think that If a man were able to
grab the earth, that he would hold it, but
we now see plainly that that depends upon
his ability to convert into a garden and
that beyond his ability to do this he roust
part with it to those who can.
His single-tax remedy for the evils of
land monopoly is about as rational as the
myth of childhood that a bird can be caught
by slipping up and putting salt on Its tail.
Modern economics is solving this problem
without artificial hp.
The main argument made by this propo-
ganda is an appeal to selfishness.
1 heard a man on our streets say: "Single
tax will come next," and nodding his head
over towards the railroad track, continued:
"That road will pay a million dollars to have
the single tax law passed." Have been
wondering ever since who Is to receive this
prlncly bribe. That could mean nothing
else than that said railroad company was to
be relieved of a great part of its contribu
tion to the expense account of society. Men
are supposed, under its protecting aegis to
rush their capital into costly Improvements,
luxuries, etc., from wnicn vantage point they
can selfishly enjoy the spectacle of their
landowning neighbors, groaning under the
expense account of society. This is doubt
less a socialistic scheme to ultimately con
fiscate the land, but in the meantime will
the courts have no defense for a man who
has been singled out, because his name is
Smith, or because he is a shoemaker or,
which is the same thing, because he Is a
landowner, for the purpose of being taxed
Into a state of bankruptcy, to the end that
society may grab his share? In the case of
improved properly he will manage well
enough to protect himself in a business way,
even supposing the courts would not.
Portland has so many millions, in im
provements, merchandise, etc., and all this,
of course, would be ignored by the Assessor,
but since the amount of tax to be raised
remains the same, all these millions must
be added to the assessment of the city's
foundation and the various owners thereof
be they single or double taxers, will raise
rents to the amount of the extra burden they
have been called to bear. The merchant who
has been relieved of $1500 taxes, will pay It
all the same in the name of rent. The
boarding or rooming-house mistress will
have no taxes to pay on her furniture, since
that will be paid by the landlord, but she'll
pay it in the form of advanced rent. When
adjustment arrives all will pay practically
as they do now. The Constitution of the
United States will not permit any form
of property to be confiscated by unequal tax
ation and !n the case of Improved lands the
inexorable laws of distribution or adjust
ment will protect them from such a fate,
without the aid of constitutions.
The working man about a city, and his
name is legion, owning an unimproved city
lot or an equity in one, who is struggling
to build a home on it for his family, with
out the aid of some stroke of good for
tune, would be harried by this unequal
taxation, making it much more difficult,
probably Impossible to carry out his plans
for making a home. The failures of the poor
are the opportunities of the rich, who would
not fall to see that the extra cost on the lot.
due to unequal taxation, would be no
greater on account of improvement and that
they bad nothing to lose by buying it in.
as it was only a question of their ability to
do so and then what a fine bargain!
If you should happen to see a man carry
ing water out of one end of a pond and
pouring it into the other end to raise the
level there, you may know by this sign that
he is afflicted with the single-tax mania.

his assurance of personal support given
to President Tafl had been made witlt
no expectation of the candidacy of
Colonel Roosevelt. He said that the
