An Knd to Patience.
To the Editor of The Journal. On
Sunday, October IE, the Oregonlan pub
lished a long article headed ''The RIs
and Fall of the Commission Form of
Government." In this article arter men
tioning Des Moines as an instance, the
writer gave Galveston the credit of be
ing the first city to Install same. Now I
happened In Sacramento in the aprlng
Of '62. That city had just been de
vastated by a flood, some 400 houses
being swept away. The city was very
nara up, being badly In debt and it had
a bad government.
So the voters put in Judge Swift as
nrst trustee, William Knox as second
and Josiah Johnson as third. They put
the city on a cash basis, built four miles
of levee, . raised all tha main streets
from 12 to 20 feet and practically saved
tne town, as many wanted to move
down about two miles to higher ground,
But old Mark Hopkins said "no," and
what he said went. Now I. knowlnx

Objections Ansvrercd.
Portland, Or., Oct. 27. To the Editor
of The Journal. It appears that the
objections to the single tax idea boiled
down are:
(1) Would bear unjustly on farmers!
(2) Would not be Just to new set-
tiers.
(3) raxes must be raised. Makes no
dirrernce whether on buildings or land.
(4 Would destroy private owner
ship or land. .
(5) Would exempt skyscrapers, de
partment stores and banks. - , , ; '
(1) Farmers do not own much land
in .Oregon. Any farmer ursine hia land
lias mora invested In improvements than
in land, it Is doubtful If the farmers
of any county in Oregon own a Quarter
oi ine vaiues or , the land apart from all
Improvements. In Oregon they do not
own one-tenth. Speculators and crab.
beta own It.
(2)--New settlers in remote sections
own very little land valuea. If they
aia pay a rew collars more the first
year it would be because of better roads
ana acnoois under he single tax than
now. Much or the remote land is worth
less. Settlers with-160 acres of land
worth 459 an acre would be better off
under present system with less land
and more use of-what they had. V
(S) Workers In city ahd countrv now
pay all that the speculator make all

cision In reference to the .use and sale

the circular states, calls for the caVe-

reason that upon the action of the peo

eiopment of our town depends.! ... It la
also true that the rights and privileges
