WRIGHT AND ASSOCIATES 342 Washington Street, Corner Seventh Phones: Main 2119, A 2119 OFFICE HOURS: 8A.M. to 6 P.M. Sunday, 10 to 1 Seventeen Years' Practice in Portland SINGLE TAX SCORED Pittsburg Assessor Thinks Oregon Is Joking. IDEA IS ANARCHY, HE SAYS T. C. McMahon I Shucked That Stale Even Colliders Voting on I?sue Enforcement lJeclarcd Practically Impoysible. T. C. McMahon. City Assessor of Pittsburg, dropped into Portland yes terday and was given the shock of his life. He was informed that Oregon is now considering whether a scheme known as single tax Is to be adopted. "Why that's anarchy." stammered the startled gentleman from the city of iron and smoke. . -You already have the initiative and referendum and the recall, what on earth do youVant sheer Socialism for?" queried Mr. McMahon. as soon as he could recover his breath. Grave Fpiri Held. "But single tax do you mean to say that Oregon is even considering for a moment swallowing Henry George and single tax whole? Well! well! I have heard of attacks of in digestion but the one this state would be destined to have in the eventuality of single tax becoming a law would he a record in the line of constitu tional internal disturbances. , "If single tax were ever to be dis cussed as a possibility in Pennsylvania we should eternally suffer from a fear that we should have to engage half a dozen state alienists to examine into the mental condition of the proposers." - One feature about single tax that seemed ridiculous to Mr. McMahon was that It would be practically impossible to value correctly lands in a city. "Now, give me 13 minutes, and some knowledge of building construction in Portland and I will value this building correctly for you." he added. "In the ease of land alone who proposes to set himself up to value the land on the basis of what percentage of Its In ceased value is due to labor?" Bent Remedy Aiolher Way. Mr. McMahon remarked that the troubled fiscal condition In general was due to the fact that the office of As sessor had been used In connection with political chicanery. "The history of the office is one of trouble." he de clared, "and we are doing our best to remedy conditions. ; "What you want to do here is what we do In Pennsylvania." continued the Pittsburg man. "All property should be assessed at 190 per cent then everyone knows where he stands." The precise difficulties to this In the West -were explained to Mr. McMahon. "Then assess property exactly 50 per cent or exactly 80 per cent. Publish the figure at which property is as sessed. Save the business man from having to send his wife to see what Bis assessments are and you tax trouble will end. We plan to do this In Pennsylvania after the next session of the Legislature." i But Mr. McMahon had to return to he subject of single tax. "Honest, now. wasn't that single tax Idea Just a Joke you were talking Ibout?" le added. I Forty Teachers Successful. OREGON CITY, Or.. July 29. Spe ,ia.

To give greater protection to prop erty owners and the city against Jhe use of inferior tile piping in city sew ers. City Engineer Hurlburt Is to ask the City Council in the near future to provide his department with fa cilities for testing sewer pipes at the plants where they are manufactured.

Mr. Hurlburt declares such aystem will mean a saving to the city and will lessen the possibilities of defec tive sewers being laid.

While our charcres for Alveolar work are the same as the" standard price of high-class bridgewora, in sucn cases where It is possible to have bridge work and the patient desires it for any reason, we will put In for him the very best and classiest bridgework, crowns, plates, etc., possible to be made, at exactly one-half the price charged by dentists whose work will compare favorably with ours. "And there Is a reason. (Terms for this work will be cash.) Brleflv, tne Alveolar method Is this: If you have two or more teeth left In ettlier Jaw, we can supply all that you have lost with teeth as good, solid and sound as the best set of natural teeth ever grown in any human being s mouth, and a whole lot more beautiful than native's best product, without re sorting to such makeshifts as partial plates and the unsanitary bridgework. Alveolar Teeth are not only beautiful, but thev are comfortable and durablj. w. ....rantM them to last a lifetim:. where the longevity of bridgework is seldom ever longer than five or six years, and generally a good deal less. It is never guaranteed to last hy any first-class dentist who is responsible and reliable, because all first-class dentists will tell you that brldgeworK at best Is doubtful. It is a painful operation and gives trouble from the time it is put In the mouth until it has to be taken out. - In many cases where it is possible, we can replace your missing teeth with perfect Alveolar Teeth. The pain Incident to this work is practically none: the expense the same as the best bridgework but In satisfaction there is no comparison be tween the two. We have samples, in our office to show at all times hundreds of pa tients here in our home city to refer to. Examinations and booklets on Al veolar dentistry are absolutely free. Remember that in addition to our specialty. Alveolar Dentistry and cur ing Pyorrhea (loose teeth), we are ex perts in every branch of dentistry from the simple filling up.
