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.

SEWER PIPE TEST ASKED
Saving to City Can Be Made There
by, Says Engineer Hurlburt.
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.
It is his desire to have an inspector
who is an expert In that line of work
inspect each piece of pipe before It
leaves the plant to determine its char
acter and to cull out pipe that is weak
or defective. At present the pipes are
inspected at the scene of the work be
fore they are placed in the ground,
but Engineer Huriourt considers it
necessary to inspect them at the plant
to facilitate the Inspection work at
the scene of operations.
Mr. Hurlburt declares such aystem
will mean a saving to the city and
will lessen the possibilities of defec
tive sewers being laid.

Alveolar
Deimti
Does Away Entirely With Plates and Bridgework
stry
Dentistry, at Half Price
;(Until further notice.)
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.
