Tho Hend students who debated Culver, upheld the affirmative, and in I'rlnevlllo. tho negative. The ques tion was, "Resolved. That the Single Tax as Advocated by Henry George, is Desirable tor Oregon." Tux Cnllcil Unjust. Tho winners based their arguments on tho statement that land Is right ful property and single tax means the confiscation of this, therefore tho tax would be unjust and would discrim inate against a certain class or citi zens. Miss King said It would 1m podo tho economic development of Oregon by driving Investors from tho state, removing tho many Incentives which now Induce men to become ter mors and bring about an unequal dis tribution of wealth. "We are all Oregonlans," she concluded, "and it Is our purpose to mako and not to break our state." Doth Tardlc and Hillycr claimed that If a men were putting his proper ty to tho best use ho would have no need to fear tho slnglo tax. They claimed that tho present system is unjust. In that It takes taxes from tho result of man's labor rather than from tho unearned Increment on his vacant land. In addition to the debato tho girls' glee club gavo a vocal selection ami F. S.
