In advocating a tax on land, Fels said In a recent address: " "In our own favored land monopoly is making Us steady way.. There are scores of individual and syndicate hold ings ranging from 20,000 acres each to 20,000,000 acres each. Tet we won der at the increase in the cost of living and the 'drift to the cities;' and we . cry "Buck to the land!' Let the alum ' dialler who would work in the master's vineyard go back to the land if he will and if he can; he will find ample room unoccupied but owned, "held for a raise.' He must make terms with' monopoly: and between the landlordism of the slums and the landlordism of the fields he is between the devil and the deep sea" Fels will be accompanied to Portland by Daniel Klefer, treasurer of the- "Fels Fund."

In one poem to "Diorama"- no address Earle sobs about "enamored nlghtlng gales," quelling "love's fever." Every lino of the sonnets hints that he's "got 'em again." Jap Who Killed Man Flees.

This was decided at a meeting of the railway brotherhood yesterday after noon, when 16S members, representing all sections of the state, voted disap proval or the proposed act. A canvass . of the state .was made . to ascertain whether any representative ef organised laoor ravored passage- of the bill and it was found that labor' stood as a body against it, so far as interviewed., it was the sentiment of the meetlnir that members of the brotherhood should oppose any legislation that would put a tax upon the wages of the working- 1 man to Insure him against accident or death, and which, it , waa stated, only served to protect the employer from a damage suit to recover in caaa of ac cident to an employe and gave no as surance of aid to the latter. "The passage of such a bill aa is proposed would mean nothing less than mac cniidren would be forced to enter the workshop and mothers and wtvear put their bands to the wash board la the event of the head of the family be coming incapacitated," said Grover Fraser, grand president of tha brother hood. "There is no provision la tha bill for a spectflo remuneration In case of death or accident and the working- man is compelled, against his will, to put a part of his monthly wagea Into' a fund to insure him. The remedy is to give the worklngman free hand to Insure in any company, be pleases and not compel him to pay for an insurance that is indefinite in its provisions. If ruch a law were . enacted the insurance companies outside the state would re ceive greater benefit than thoca in tha state." Tnis was also the sentiment of tha meeting. A bill is now being prepared by Mr. Fraser to be introduced at Salem In direct opposition to the proposed em ployers' liability act CHINESE WOMAN LOSES ' WEALTH TO D.
