SINGLE TAX
After years of defeat the single tax
Idea is with us again in the shape of
a constitutional amendment, which
will be voted on n,ext Tuesday. The
measure Is frankly single tax. There
is none of the camouflage or sugar-
coating that has accompanied such
bills in the paat. There is no extra
little prize in the package. It is
wholly contents, wrapper and all,
nothing more and nothing less
than single tax. 1
Under the measure all taxes for
the support of government of any
kind in Oregon are to be assessed on
land, and land only, until July 1,
1925, and thereafter the full rental
value of the land is to be taken as
taxes, Irrespective of improvements.
We must confess to a feeling that
the state should receive in some way
a much larger share of the unearned
increment of real estate than has ever
been the case. Possibly the method
worked out in England some years
ago would be desirable as a means
of returning to the people some of
the value they give to land merely by
living near it in sufficient numbers.
But the confiscation of all value is
not the way to do it. And that is
what single tax is.
Single tax in the form provided by
this measure would make the govern
ment a universal landlord. No one
else would be interested in owning
land, for there would be no return
on land. We think government has
enough to do without going into this
business. In fact, Harding's new
phrase, "Less government in business
and more business in government,"
is very appealing. There are plenty
of other reasons why the measure
should be defeated, the insecurity of
the home owner, the stagnation of
development, the destruction of ex
isting rights that would be seen if it
became law.
This time let's smear it along with
the interest rate bill. -
This George of England is a king whose ways
are most endearing, for now he kicks like every
thing at greedy profiteering. Some time ago Queen
Mary said, "I've through the palace capered,, and
certain rooms need painting red, the walls should
be repapered. .Most any time some royal nobs may
come around week-ending, and they would think
that shiftless swabs to housework were attending."
Said George, whose head began to throb, "If you'll
but cease your clangors, I'll have the lord high
thingumbob call in the paperhangers." The honest
British workmen came, prepared to paint and
putty; they named the wages they would claim,
and George said, "You are nutty; there is no sense
in such a price as you are now demanding; to you
a pitcher full of ice, with royal grace, I'm handing.
Because some thriftless kings have flung the coin
with zeal distressing, you think that Georgie may
be stung, but you are poor at guessing. I'll paint
the palace all alone, with "princely vim and vigor,
before I'll pay you men a bone above a righteous
figure." The royal shack is punk, in fact, offend
ing all who scan it, and Mary reads the riot act,
but George is firm as granite. He says to her, "Our
dark abode will shabby be for ages, unless some
lads come up the road who'll work for decent
wages."

The Telephone Situation
In the engineering of a telephone plant switchboards, con
duits, cables, pole lines and general mechanical equipment we
have always tried to anticipate the growth of a community and
provide the"refor by advance construction. This course has en
abled us to more promptly comply with requirements for service
with better construction and at ah ultimate expense less than
that involved in waiting to meet demands as they arise.
In the war period we were unable to maintain this reserve
plant, as the very things we needed for telephone purposes were
required and necessarily taken for governmental purposes. The
demand for telephone service did not decrease and our reserve
facilities were practically absorbed in meeting it.
As every business man knows, the problems of reconstruction
following the war have been acute and prolonged to an entirely
unexpected degree. Unusual conditions are prevalent through
out the entire manufacturing, mercantile and social world. The
telephone industry has had to meet all the difficulties and handi
caps of retarded production, distribution' and transportation.
This advertisement is not meant to be one of apology, but
one of explanation and even accomplishment. In the face of an
unprecedented demand for telephone service in the last few
months, hampered by the exhaustion of our reserve plant and -difficulty
in securing materials, we have added more telephones
thus far this year in the State of Oregon than in any similar
period of telephone history.
In the State of Oregon, in the eight months ending August
81, we have added 6863 telephones. In the eight months ending
July 31, 1917 before the war we gained 2655 telephones.
In the State of Oregon we have approximately 2600 unfilled
applications for telephone service. A similar situation exists all
over the United States. We will continue to secure all the equip
ment possible, and the desires of the public will be met as soon
as.it is humanly possible to do so.
The Telephone Company regrets the inconvenience to pros
pective subscribers. It is as anxiou3 to give service as the patron
is to receive it. The Company is doing all in its power to remedy
conditions and furnish service in accordance with normal standards
