LOWELL'S QUERIES
Republican Candidate Needs
"Another "Lesson" Before He
Is Fit to Go to U. S. Senate,
"Says H. D. Wagnon.
srtland. Or., Feb. 20. To Hoirtrabls
Stephen A. Lowell, would-be United
States senator It affords me great
. pleasure to answer the questions you
ask about the People's Power league,
and the home rule tax amendment.
First let It be known that said amend,
men t was placed on the ballot by the
Oregon Federation of Labor, which num
bers about, 8000' voters men who work
with their bands, and think., with their
heads; men that know what they want
and whom they want to represent them
In the United States senate, all of which
you should have known, this time two
years ago. , - - ,-
The Single Tax league of Oregon sup
ported the : amendment to a man and
many of the single taxers are members
of the People's Power league, but some
members of the People's Power league
are not single taxers. Also let It be
known that organised ' labor, the Peo
ple's Power league, and the single tax
ers together with other good citizens
are often found working side by side to
better the condition of all the people.
.Another Lesson Needed.
Tour letter bf February 1 makes It
plain that- you must be given another
lesson. in political economy, before you
are fitted to go to the United States
senate. Tou say that the taxing of
land would have Jthe same effect as the
taxing of cows, 'if any county was to
place all taxes on cows; It 'would drive
all the cows out of that county,' Just
the same as taxing dogs in a city drives
the dogs out,
Land, however, could not be driven out
of the county by taxing It If you know
anything about single tax, (and. you say
you have studied it) you. must know
that it is proposed to tax only the com
muhity value of land. To illustrate.
M. O. Thorsen bought six acres of un
Improved land in the city of Portland
three years ago for 119,500, and has
Just sold it for 148,000. Here we see
Mr. Thorsen has received $28,500 that
he did not earn, and it is plain that
some people have earned 828,500 that
tney aid not receive.
That $28,600 is a Value made by the
community, and that is what the single
tax would taxpsnd let tire cowirhorses,
rarniture. ana buildings go tax free.
Single taxers want the community to
take what the community imakes, and
let the Individual keep what he makes,
while you want to "confiscate" a part
of the. household furniture : and other
personal 'property," each year, and let
, the land, monopolists take what
the community makes, so they can get
what they ..do not eanv while others
earn what they do not get
I see you are sweating blood for fear
the bankers, the brokers, the money
.lenders, the loan sharks and the note
shavers would bo exempt from taxes if
we had the lngle'taxu,f Now, Mr. Low-
r ell, you know that all the above aggre
gation do not pay Any taxes now on
their money or notes and if you do liot
know It, -It Js another reason why you
" are not fitted to be a United States
senator,'. .
Banks Escaping.
I can show -you that $45,000,000 is eg.
oa'plng taxes,4n Oregon, from the - fact
that the county assessors are not as
sessing the banks according to law,
but I have never heard you cry" out
against this fraud on the small tax
payer, whom you profess to . love so
much when a campaign is on. "' .
' As to the small home owner, city or
country, he would pay less taxes un
der single tax than he does now; the
man with a $600 lot and a $1600 house
would be taxed... on $2000- now. Under
single tax his $1500 house would be
. exempt, and it would only be necessary
to Increase the taxes one third on the
lot ;
- You have to acknowledge that land
monopoly is tearing down the homes,
- and- school houses 4n your home eounty,
and yet you are defending land monop
oly, In the hope it will give you the
"standpat" vote. Fifty-five years ago
- men - like you denounced . Lincoln and
said he wanted to "confiscate the prop-
' erty of the poor widow" in the hope that
It would give them the , slaveholders'
vote. They failed to preserve the in
stitution of privilege that they defend
ed, ana so will you.

Takes Fling at' Courts. '
- -United Prtm Let Wtr.
Oakland, Oal, Feb. 20. Discussing
Judge Gilbert's decision, former . Oov
ernor ueorge S. Pardee, chairman of
the conservation commission of the
state of Callfotnla, sal today:
"Unless the law expressly commands
It . in terms - that -annot .-otherwise be
interpreted, the courts should not con
strue the law against the publlo in mat
ters concerning the nubllo nroDertr.
For It is inconceivable that the publlo,
unices it says so in . unmistakable
terms, ever legislates against Itself In
such matters. - The decision of the Unt
tea states Circuit court of appeals in
the Barber Lumber company case, which
follows previous decisions, puts a pre
mium' on the spoliation of the publlo
by flagrantly fraudulent practices. For
the timber and stone act was passed for
the purpose of encouraging the settle
ment of the publlo lands In small quan
tities by many people.. .
"The decisions of theT courts defeat
the purpose of the law they encourage
Lthe acquisition of large areas of the
public lands by a few people and con
done, so far as concerns those few peo
ple, any frauds that the original en-
tryman himself-as practiced The
decisions permit him who desires to
defeat the intent and purpose of the
law to do everything, short of actual
ly committing fraud himself or of be
ing actually ' party thereto, that ' will
encourage, promote and reward , fraud,
Privato rights are as they should be,
carefully protected against- fraud,
not by legislation but by court decis
ions; but the publlo seems to be at the
rriercy ' of anybody who, encouraging
fraud in others, refrains from actually
committing or being party to fraud
hlmsetfe -
"There should be a recall in such
cases not necessarily of the Judge who,
following previous decisions, decides
against the publlo Interests, but at least
against the decisions themselves. The
public, if .nobody else will protect it,
should have the right and the power to
protect Itself from spoliation." . , -
;. Claris Comments on Decision.
, (Cnlti4 Press Leased Wire, t
Sacramento, Cal., Feb. 20. "I hesitate
to comment on the decision," safd Louis
R. " Olavlirsecretary of the state con
servation commission, today, "before
reading it in full; but If It holds to the
filing of an application, then-it is in;
consistent with the United States su
preme court decision in the case of the
government against Williamson, when U
was held that such an agreement was
not only unlawful, but tended to per
jury.
"II the same principle is applled to
other than timber and ' stone lands, It
win nave tn street or putting govern
ment land Into the possession of a
wealthy few at the expense of the legiti
mate settler. The effeot In the case of
timber and stone land will not be so
serious, because the 'present system of
selling, established by the Roosevelt ad
ministration, is for the Interior depart
ment to appraise the land filed on for
its full value, and to maintain the price
so fixed. The timber and stone act
provides that land may be sold for not
less than $2.60 per acre, and before thu
Roosevelt regime that was the fixed
prloe." .
Has No Significance.
"There is practically nothing new In
the meaning of the ruling made by
Judge . Gilbert," said . John McCourt,
United States district attorney, in dis
cussing the ruling this morning: "Judgt
Bean, while sitting in Idaho about two
years ago, gave the same ruling on .the
same case, which was brought in Idaho.'
The decision is simply a reiteration.
It is one that we have been applying
right along, but none of our. cases of
a similar nature has been appealed."
Locally the ruliftg" "has no significance."
