W. Bengough, ' Canada's famous rartoonist, entertained- at the Commer cial club last evening with an illus trated lecture on taxation methods and single tax. The lecture followed the regular Wednesday . dinner', open to members and their friends. The speaker held, that for the present It is not a question of bread for th many but pie for the few, and a jUBt .government under an unjust system tf taxation Is Impossible. He pointed out as one great trouble legalization of pri vate ownership of public property and explained how the line of demarcation may easily be drawn between publlo and private properties. "We all know there fs publlo prop erty and -private property," ; explained the cartoonist as he drew a picture of two spheres on the large sheet of paper. "Now. one of these will represent pri vate property,' the other publlo prop erty. Between them I draw a distinct line. As publlo property I classify the elements, water, fire, land, air, natural resources; as private properties articles of food- and all that man can create from the material of nature's re sources." y "! Tax TcU rrom All. - He connected the two spheres, with a bridge, transforming the picture into a pair of eyeglasses, and explained that under the present system of . taxation tax collectors and holders of franchises cross and recross the bridge and take what they want or can; for Instance the tax collector appropriating for the pub lic a part of private property created by the Individual effort of man, while franchise holders cross the bridge and help themselves from the publlo prop erty, then recross to their private prop erty and live In ease and comfort on the spoils. Mr.v Bengough contended that -every large office building; in Portland Is conducted along the lines of single tax. Drawing a picture of a long-haired, wild-eyed man. explained; ". - "Suppose this man should go to the owner of one of these office buildings, tell him he. was pursuing the wrong methods in conducting the building, that he should charge every man a certain number of cents for entering the buildr Ing, so many cents for any article be brought with him, so many cents for leaving the building and so much for riding m the elevator. Well, the owner would press-a button summoning the janitor and instruct. him to kindly es cort the visitor out of the building be cause something must be wrong In his mental , makeup. Revenue Essential. '"Tet" he explained, "that Is the method of taxation at Washington, In jour office buildings the owner charges so much rent for a room, and the renter can do as he pleases with, iu It is up to him to so utilize it that he will inane H revenue-producing.' He pays the rent and that gives him $he privi leges f entering the building and rid ing in the elevators as he likes.". :,v'ftevenue is - essential to. a -govern4 went. Revenue Is the food upon which the government lives, and nature has ished nation M known ty the same in dications, only the pimples are strikes, lockouts and other troubles." Tfcen Mr. Uenhough drew a sectional view of a prairie with a lone tent oc cupied by. a lone pettier. Hot Land, Ent reople. "Here lives a settler and he is very lonely," he related. "But during the night ss he sleeps, 60,000 people arrive and they decide to build right there and then a city. The land that up to the night before had been worth only what it could produce in potatoes or other crops If cultivated, becomes valuable, because of the presence of a lot of peo ple. The people found they needed many necessary conveniences and those were paid for from the Increased value of the land,, which value, then became a rental value. Out of the tent grew a fountain that poured money Into the. publlo till. Everything was lovely in the community until one day a fat' and sleek looking fellow blew in and presented a paper to the mayor showing that he was the owner of the land upon which stood the city hall and other publlo buildings. His name was J. Rufus Walllngford and he demanded rent. The money that poured from the fountain was diverted from the publlo till to Mr. Walltngford's deep plug hat and he enjoyed the revenues. He robbed the community of Its natural revenue. The mayor was forced to rec ognize Mr. Wallingford's demands be cause he was the owner of the prop erty. ,- 1 '' V '"'- J' ;'-'.' "Butthey adopted local option taxa tion cut a hole In the plug hat and the money again flowed Into the publlo 1111." To illustrate' his contention that the value of city property is made entirely by the people Mr. Bengough in conclu sion said: ' "Suppose all of the people of Port land or any other large city should leave at once. Then wouldn't the land owners set up a great cry. It is not the land that they collect the rent for, it is off the people." ; r I ti ,lu m:., .. I ' , rr li .
