THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER: 16, 1912. J. W. Benocugh Points Out Where Opponent of Theory -v Wrong. O'Dea Called to Explain , . ng" ofMatjorie Rieman 1 ' An open letter to Henry E. Reed Esq. Portland, Bept. 14. I have carefully and thoroughly read your ably written article In today's Oregonlan. As a vis itor to Oregon I do not feci It Incum bent upon me to discuss the details of the graduated tax measure, which was prepared by men presumably familiar . with local conditions, but as -a single taxer, I certainly take Issue with you In the summary you give in the closing paragraph, as to the real motiv of the promoters of the measure. I know' these men to be sincla taxers illke myself and therefore I know what their "ultimate aim" is. And I am quite sure It Is not "state ownership of the land with a state tenantry." Take Issue "VTltfc Writer. f I tako you to be a well read man, ana you must accordingly know that this is the policy of the land national liters who are, as a body, as bitterly op posed to the single tax as are many' of the Socialists. Indeed, in going on to elaborate, ';60,000 5r 60,000 persons In the employ'of the state," etc., you are really attributing a combination policy of land nationalize and Socialists to the single taxers. This Is unworthy of your intelligence, and J cannot believe you wrote it sincerely. Tho intimate purpose of the "ultimate aim" Is, ac cording to you, political "the expendi ture of the money of the people In those parts of Oregon where the most votes are concentrated," etc., you should as noon as possible get this harmonized with the theory of the editor of the Oregonlan, which Is that Joseph Fels has a deep design to "destroy the selling value of the land and then buy it all up." Both Called Wrong. Both theories are entirely astray, and too ridiculous for discussion. I think you are altogether too Intel ligent not to know what every reader of George's books, and by the writings and speeches of his) responsible fol lowers ought to know that the ultimate aim of single taxers is to put an end, -not-t0 th private ownership of land, but to tho private ownership by land holders of the community value which Is merely reflected on land and regis tered there as land rent. That Is to say, they believe the public revenue should come entirely out of the values Which belong to the community because created Vy the community, and not out of labor values, llesuectfullv J. W.

NO DIG ER HERE FROM MEDITERRANEAN "I notice a press dispatch from San Francisco," said Walter Glfford Smith of Honolulu, yesterday, "about the ar rival there of Metirterranean flies from Hawaii, which Is likely to unduly alarm fruitgrowers of California, Oregon and the northwest. All that is necessary to head off apprehension here is to tell the simple facts about the influence of cli mate upon this south European pest." Mr, pmllh is a representative of the Hawaii promotion committee who is lec turing on the Hawaiian Islands through out the northwest. Ha Is also lecturer for the Southern Pacific railroad. "The Mediterranean fly," he states, "thrives In frostless tropical countries, but cannot outlive a touch of cold.

The insects were In Ha waii for ovir a year before they were particularly noticed by the local ento mologists.

If they did, one frosty night would put an end to them, as it does On the Atlantic seaboard." (United Preu Leuti Wire.) New York, Sept 16.

When asked as to the vow taken by members of the order known as the Jesuits, and whether or not that clause pertaining to a "mental reservation" permitted any person connected with the church to "equivocate, mislead, or deliberately falsify" to a person asking a question, he replied: "There are lots of lies told about the Catholic church. No such thing as that is tolerated by the church." He admitted, however, that church dignitaries were not bound to answer questions which the interrogator had no right to ask. Attorney Kelly asked Father Cunning ham if he had ever heard of the Coun cil of Trent. He replied that he had distinct recollections of having heard of It, and said It was called to reform and purify the church during the sixteenth century.
