The state of Oregon owes the recoV' ery of this fund directly to the foresight of Governor Chamberlain, who executed an additional bond from State Treasur er Steel only a short time ago.

From the 'tEast Portland) Peonta'a iress. j It already looks as though Portland was to be fortunate among the cities of the nation to have cause to rejoice over the coming of 1908. On New Tear's eve the town is delighted by the Joy ful news that not only la W. M.

This is not only good news to the folks w10 hadi monev in eithar pf these' Institutions, but It is Joyful tidings lor the merchants, tha ihnn. keepers, the builders, tha r.l ueumrs. au tpe men r no need money Part of the above argument will sound rami lar to our voters, au or whom would like to see Oregon become a man ufacturing state, and this reminds. me that I heard an ex-manufacturer say In a public meeting recently that an Ore gon town not only gave him a bonus for establishing a manufacturing plant, but as a further help Influential citizens nromlsed that his nlant would onlv be assessed at one fourth of its value. No doubt this is the methoa pursued by other progressive Oregon towns, which have stolen ay march on their neighbors and secured factories. So it seems that the exemption of manufacturing plants is not such a rad ical dcorture after all. as some are thoughtlessly asserting. ' How the system of taxing land values works is stated this way: "To the auerv. How will It work? well Informed men on taxation say the an swer is found in such countries as the northwestern provinces of Canada, South Australia, where our Australian ballot system came from, and New Zea land: countries where nomilatlon and capital seek the land, and where men are not taxed for building and main taining a nome. These countries, like Oregon, are new. ana tne same system 01 taxation can not fall here:' but if exDerience sug gests cnanges 1 can say mat every man pushing this amendment is a progres sive uregontan, ana in sympatny wun tne masses or our peor'e, as the pro posed law attests, and will always work unselfishly to prevent unjust taxation tailing on our farmers and producers.
