I WATER
Last Tuesday I was strolling
down our only Boulevard,
Where the noisy watr wagons
never come,
And I heard the people talking
"City Water" by the yard,
I listened, sighed and silently
passed on.
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,

AGED WOMAN IS
LEADER IN FIGHT
MRS, MATT MITCHELL., OF, COVB,
18 UNAFRAID. .
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.
