The night cop took me in e're I reached a dark side street, And as quickly "hiked" me to the City jail, Where I found the City Fathers, " for there is wh re they meet, ' But they toU me I must call it "City HalT'il They showed ma into a dung eon; where I made a mark or sign, On a yellow sheet of paper, called a ballot; But I found before I left, it was a kind of tax, or fine, For the water that should cool my parched throat. Here I found that old, old pro verb, "Free as Water" was a fake That it did not mean i hat same at all, at all, t For each gallon that we use, and each glassfull that we take, There is charged an I, O, U, against us all. We have to pay for water and we have to pay for light, And we have to pay for walk ing on the street, And we'll have to pay for free dom, if the prophecy is right, When the fullness of the time is all complete, ITEMS OF INTEREST Lq3t a sterling silver Breast pin finder call at this office and re ceive reward for same.

Union County Lady Work Vigorously to Down "Wolf In Sheep'e Garb" Single Tax Disliked. Although an old woman, Mrs. Matt Mltchull, who lives at Cove, Oresjot), says she is never afraid to work when the cause is good. Mrs. Mitchell's home in Uiiiou County, she saya, is one of thosi threatened by the Single Tasers witii their Single Tax propaganda. Arousal by the efforts of what she describes as "U'Ron and hla ilk" and their "false trash," Mrs. Mitchell has gone into the field herse)f. Modern Joan of Arc. Likp a modern' but aged Joan of Arc, this did lady organized then against Singto Tax. At her own ex pense she received books on the sub ject of the fight against Single T!.x and she distributed 200 of these her self over the great cbunty in which, she lives. ' "It Is people who own no real estate," said Mrs. Mitchell, the other day, "who are in- favor of Single Tax, also the ignorant class, and those vho take no newspaper at all. It Is a shame that such men are allowed to vote at all on anything pertaining to taxation, while thousands of in telligent people, who are heavy tax payers, must have their homes taxed away from them by Buch Ignorant persons. ' . ' Whole Section !n Arms. "Union County is one of the coun ties selected by1 that 'wolf in sheep'f clothing,' "U'Ren, so we will all hava to help in the fight I am an old woman, but not too old to work In a good cause." Mrs. Mitchell says that the whole of her section Is up in arms. Every property owner in Eastern Oregon, from the man or woman who owns a small lot to the wheat iarmers, is fighting what is known to be a con fiscation of their homes, declares this old woman fighter for the "common good." Ballot Numbers Told. Mrs. Mitchell, despite her years, worked arduously in the campaign against Single Tax. She clrculnted petitions, distributed 200 books, circu lated cards and gave her tiu'.e freely. In addition, she expended, her twit money in the fight. And when a person Is willing to spend real money in a fight for a vital principle It must be cuneecod there Is real enthusiasm for what she knows to be right. The ballot numbers which will bar Single Tax from Oregon arn 304, 3U(j and 308. ATWELL DISLIKES SINGLE TAX. II. C. Atwell, president of the Ore gon Stato Horticultural Society, who lives at Forest Grove, declares that he is bitterly opposed to the Single Tax propaganda. "I Bhall be glad to talk against Single Tax whenever I have thtj opportunity," commented President Atwell. Mr. Atwell Is one of the most prominent farmers in the State of Oregon and his views aro considered valuable by many OregQ ninns. TEAMSTER DOES GOOD WORK. Traveling the whole extent of the country north of the John Day River, C. W. Ponham is making an ardont vplunteer fight against what he feels to be the doctrinps of Single Tax. Mr. Bonham makes his hc.idquartiira. at Canyon City, Ore. "Although I don't get my mail regularly," said Mr. Ponham, "I am doing all I can in the good work. My friend, Phil Metschan, can tell you of the extent cf the country over which I travel." Mr. Ponham distributed over 200 copies of "Single Tax Exposed," a work by Charles II. Shields, secretary of the Oregon Equal Taxation League. This book should be read by every voter in the State of Oregon. It rroves conclusively that Single Tax is not a system of taxation at all. but a means to destroy private ownership of laud. GARDINER, ORE., MAN IS GLAD. "I am glad to note the Bteps be ing taken," remarked Fred Assen heimer, a confectioner of Gardiner, Ore., the other day, "to stamp out such an unjust law as Single Tax." While Mr. Assonheimer would benefit riev.w..il!T under Single Tax by t triced taxation, lie declared that he did not consider It fair that he should eseap while hi farmur friends w?re taxed out of existence. "I am glad there are not many Single Tax people around here," be tolt m lnterrtwr. OH ! YOU OCTOBER ! Libra, the sign ruling: between September 23d and October 23d, is that part of. the 'Grand Man, known as the Reins. " Ancient mythology classed it as the phychic principal.' For this reason spirtual control and great power of discernment are the dominant characteristics of Libra people. It would necessarily follow from this that among them will be found spiritualists, mediums, anb clairvoyants. People of this class resent being asked to give a reason for their impressions; they know they come by inttition and feel as though' others would not understand or appreciate them if an explanation was gone into. This Foresight will of nece eksity make them excellent' tra ders, being, as they are, able to take at a glance the best end of an argument, and' realize any de fect not discernible to thejordin ary observer without close scrut iny. Soon learning to havecon fidence in this intution, they are apt to f all into excesses if- not guarded ' in their vocation1; for instance, speculation, gambling,, ect. Unknowninly this force is drawn on an'd if used to excess or abused, the system is weakned and they die prematurely, You will be honest in all your dealings and if left to your own inclinations, it would be a hard matter to deceive you. Your love of research leads to a desire for book3 for which you have de cided liking. Your ability to live in a world of your pwnlis inclin ed to make you' of a melancholy disposition, unless you seek out agreeable companions. The Libra ' people make good writers, artists or professional men. The ' conservative Libra should we'd with he bold Aries. B, B. REEVES Of Cedar Mill DEM.
