"N O MAN Is a horo to his valet," runs an old saying; and equally old Is the rotort that tho renson Is, not that tho man Is not a hero, but that tho valet Is not t manly man. A now form of tho old Idea Is fur nished by tho quostlon of a San Fran Cisco judge "Can a married man bo a lioror unn nny man oo a uoro iu his wlfo?" Tho Judgo, not bolng a Solomon, or perhaps becauso ho Is under graduated slnglo tax must and , will decline In value. The selling vnlue and tho rental value Will bo destroyed. When tho' full rontnl I valuo is taken by tho state tho state's moans to raise funds will bo by iJenBlng, for thoro will bo no value , on which to plnco n tax.v To you, Indies and gentlemen, It vlll be n caso of pay your tnxes or got out."

Ho was Introduced by Dr. E. Mlngus. During his address ho Invited tho audlcnco to ask ques tions about points that woro not system of tax reform, and with nb soluto nssuranco I lcavo them to your consideration." that ho has in him tho stuff of which truo men nnd bravo aro made. Ho has challenged fato, doubled his handicap from one point of view and given hostages to fortune. Tho Inspiration of tho Inquiry sheds a dim light on tho standnrd of heroism In husbands. A woman had sued for divorce. Her husband was that "In slzo, grace and daring husband did not measuro up to tho standard of heroism no ovldont In tho lending male figures of historical novels." On this ground, "who of us shall 'scapo whipping?" Wo may as well prcparo at onco for tho Inevitable and rcconcllo ourselves to tho cer tainty that when wlfo has read enough "Quo Vadlscs" nnd "Lornn Doonca," whoso heroes wero combi nations of Apollo, Horcules nnd Lord Chesterfield, sho will sally to court and send us our lognl "conge." Only tho rotort courteous to con clude with kindly: Can n married i woman bo n heroine In tho eyes of her husband? CALL OF THE COLLKCK. "Oh, why hu farmer, stockmen, sawyors?" tho collugo clamors, loud and clear; "why not bo editors or lawyers, nnd wear fluu linen all the year? Why soil your hands with lontliMiimo Inborn? Why carry swill lo cow or hog? Itlsu, jIho above your tolling uolghborH, and bo a fourth rate pedagogue! Why wear duck overalls and curry tho hump hacked miilu nnd brindled steer? Couio to tho college In a hurry, nnd learn to bo a bank cashier!" Through all tho laud the boy.t n dropping tho yuoiniui'a tools, In deep dlsgiiHt, resolved to learn tho true. a of ynwplug, resolved to wear hnllml shlrtu or bust. Professions nil nro overcrowded; tho starving lawyers throng tho HtrootH-, and there aio men In surplice shrouded who shoulit bo busy booing IiooIh. Stouograpii cih wo'vo by tl.o legion who haven t IenruiHl tho way to spell; and In tho fertile farming region tho grangers raise an uwrul yell. "Oh, hciuI im help," wo hear them crying, Implor ing with ten thousand tonguo, "send us tho Im.-tUy skates wlio're trying to cam their living with their lungs! Send us n grist of half baked preachers, of lawyers who have known on brief, send i. stenographers or teachers, to shuck the corn or bind the Hheaf!" Above tho graugerH' mournful hnwlhi-;. above their pleiiH for working men, wo henr tho college Hweetly cnllhm: "Forsake the plowshare for l;o ponl" A rTbtt.l3n.tr Cbaj&m (l4T lug sovornl addresses thoro. All his meetings woro lnrgoly nttended and ho expressed himself ns pleased to find so much Interest In tho ques tion. That graduated slnglo tax and tho various slnglo tnx measures offered In Multnomah, Clackamas and Coos counties wero nothing moro or less than plain slnglo tax was ono of tho J earliest statements Mr. mucins ninno. "You will find," ho said, "In every communication that Mr. Crldgo, ono of tho Fols pnld workors, has sent out, ho lias doclarod this statcmont of mlno to bo untrue. Howovor, I can bnck It with proof, for not only do tho slnglo tnxors stand whole heartedly for Henry George, who de- clnrcd that tho purposo of slnglo tnx was tho nbsoluto and entire con fiscation of lnnd by tho state, hut I can also provo my statement by Mr. V. S. U'lton. Iluthor heedlessly tho other day In n lottcr to tho Orogon lun ho admitted this to ho truo. This Is what Mr. U'Rcn tmld: " 'The Hlnglo tnxors hovo present ed two single tnx measures, ono Is tho locnl county option law for Mult nomah, Clnckamns nnd Cons coun ties. Tho other Is tho graduated specific tnx exemption nmendment.' "This Is tho first time Mr. U'lton has over mado such an admlsrlnn, and whllo ho ndmltn writing this lot tor, every othor pnld slnglo tax worker says his statement Is not true. I lenvo you gentlemen to Judge for hlmsolves." The speaker gavo tho history of the single tax movement In Oregon. Ho told of tho $10,000 spont hero two years ngo In putting through the 'trick homo rula measure.' "This measuro was offered," said Secretary Shields, "because tho sln glo tnxern saw straight single tnx defeated, and It was tholr Idea to get tho favor of tho small landowner and tho small homo-owner by the exemptions offered tu tho graduated single tux measuro. This Is a purely single tnx measuro. Tho graduated expression used Is Just n trick. It has but ono object, that of restoring privately owned laud back to the statu, "The taxpayer," doclarod Shlolds. "should bo tho man with tho ability to pay. Graduated single tax Ignores this, and Its purport Is to make tho man pay who cannot pay. And when he cannot pay, It will confiscate his laud to tho state. Graduated slnglo tax Is not a raiemiv getter. My sin gle tax friends will tell von It v .'1! break up large luud-hnlders nnd thus reduce tho price of laud. "This may bo true It nnv nr.t bo true.
