tempting to catch on the train as It
was leaving the yards. The Rosehurg
Review says: "The men fairly swarm
ed up the embankment and appeared
to climb upon the cars at a dor.cn dif
ferent places. Amated at the size of
the swarm, the trainmen became
alarmed and at once began taking
measures for reducing them. The
hoboes were ordered off, but refused
to heed. The arguments were then
followed by blows and missiles of va
rioua descriptions were heaved tt the
opposing trainmen."

SPENCE OPPOSES
SINGLE TAX BILL
A few days ago a Portlund paper
published an Interview of C. B.
Spence, master of state grange, lu
which he was quoted as being unal
terably opposed to the full rental
value land tax and homemakers' loan
fund amendment (single tax), which
Is to be submitted to the Oregon
voters on next election day. Novem
ber " He was quoted as saying that
this bill provides for the confiscation
of private ownership in land, and, as
most farmers' property consists prin
cipally of land, naturally they are
opposed to It.
The Tax Liberator for October con
tains an excellent article on, the sub
ject by Mr. Spence. It Is a strong and
unanswerable argument against the
measure. He closes his article by
saying: "I believe that the full renter
value land- tax will take the larii and
with It wlil go the Improvements, and
with the Improvements will go the
toil, and savings, and capital of thous
ands of honest, Industrious people
who are living on and 'using' the
land, and who are not monopolising
nor speculating In It.
"If I am correct In my conclusions,
this measure will Injure the home
owner and home builder more than It
will the speculator, and I shall vote
307 X No."

"Sit down; Jimmy, and rest your

"No, these boys came a long way
to see' me," waa the ambassador's
smiling reply. A cold wind was
sweeping across the deck as the pa
trol boat rushed up the bay, but
