The man who came with the argument called at the office of The Statesman and left a pamphlet advocating the single tax. , The following is a paragraph of that pamphlet: 'When all the rentitl value of land is demanded by the state, the great portion of unused land will pass from private to public owner-! ship and therefore immediately become a national asset." Here is another: . :. ''This is not socialism. It is not bolshevism. It is not anarchy." Then what is it f 1 ; , It is idiocy.' y i f It is a fad of the biggest fool faddists in the country. It may not be socialism, bolshevism or anarchy; but it would be as bad as either, if the impossible should happen, and it should be 'adopted.".. .' -. But its sheer idiocy will protect the country from any such danger, or even near danger. ; 1 v The single tax would exempt all improvements on lands, all great buildings, telegraph and telephone thing but land. It would confiscate all lands. . , k That would mean the homes of the poor as well as those of the rich; the little farms as well as the big farms. It seems strange that enough men can be found in Oregon to put up the money to get their argument before the voters for this crazy proposition. . . x . Likely, the money comes from the widow of the soap man who used to put up this kind of money, and who himself died a few years agb. This likelihood is plausible enough to warrant the excuse for the (laxity of the fool killer in Oregon. And why should Oregon, of all insane bunch of single taxerst the infliction ! WHY BE APPEALS TO Mr. .Harding appeals! to the vast army of ordinary people in his country, who like a man with a lot of common sense and not too many theoretical and throbbing thrills. , The common people who are live in marble palaces ride in $10,000 limousines, rise at noon and go to bed at 5 a. m. They are not the sort of people who find pleasure in . great ways but in mosphere. They, like Jlr. Harding. They understand him. lie is of their kind. They see in him a relief frdm the "voices in the air' from the folly of a government run by "moral mush" without Yankee horse sense, from so much theoretical reform efficiency as to lose sight of results. This is why the millions and millions of men and women in the cities and towns of the land, on the farms of the country, sort of "take to" Harding and will' vote fpr him. This is why he will be elected by an overwhelming majority .

It was a great bargain day in Dr. Cyrus Townsend Brady left a fortune of ' 1 100,000. lie did not get it preaching the gospel,' but from writing novels and moving picture scenarios. V" ! Is It a coincidence? The fifty fifth birthday of Senator Harding will occur on the day of his election' to the presidency, November 2.

It Is now charged that at one time Senator Harding owned stock in a brewery. It is possibly true, for every enterprise In Marion, his old home town, received his . assistance. He has been an 1 optimist and booster ali bis life, and he will carry that spirit into the presidential of rice and apply it to tha affairs of the whole country And that is what we need. The dry forces are OEEGON fully satisfied with the conduct, and the TOtea of Senator Harding on all the questions affecting a dry na tion and Ui enforcement of the dry laws. 'I After the "committee of forty eight." which is meeting in Chicago, has constructed a platform for its proposed new party which shall be variefated enough to satisfy all the factions within its ranks, it will be for the old parties and the country at large to laugh. i FOOD AXI FUKL.

The forest reserve people are furnishing the powder and will help in the con struction of I the main bridge. The rest jf the expense will be borne by the Lotz-Larsen people. - I L That will be great news, when the shipping of ores begins. It Will be the commencement of great days for the Santiam mining country. I Marion county ought at least to help in the I repairing of the road from Mehama to Elk horn. , That will enable the Silver King people also to Degin shipping their ores.
