As Henry George was the author
of Single Tax and as his master work
on this subject Is his book, "Prog
ress and Poverty," from which all
Single Tax advocates draw their in
spiration and to the fundamental prin
ciples of which they subscribe; and
as Joseph Fels, who Is financing the
present Single Tax campaign In Ore
gon Is an avowed Henry George Sin
gle Taxer, openly declaring for the
abolition of private property in land,
let us consult Henry George In
"Progress and Poverty" and learn
what this Single Tax movement In
Oregon means.
Quotations From George.
"The truth is. and from this
truth there can be no escane. that
there Is and can be no Just ti
tle to an exclusive possession of
the soil, and that private prop
erty in land is a bold, bare,
enormous wrong, Tike that of
chattel slavery."
Again he says:
"If the land belongs to the
people, why continue to permit
land owners to take the rent, or
compensate them in any manner
for the loss of rent?"
No Possible Question.
Is there room for further question
as to what Single Tax means? Can
you' not see that the object In plac
ing all the burden on land is to
destroy land values, to drive the dag
ger deeper and deeper Into private
ownership of land until the rent value
is taken In the form of taxes.
Then Single Tax will have accom
plished the death of private prop;
erty in land the purpose for which
It wfls designed. The state will then
jwn the land. Oregon will have pass
ed from a state of home owners to
one of tenants. Which do you prefer?

BY CHARLES H. SHIELDS.
Secretary, Oregon Equal Taxation League.
From all over Oregon I have re
ceived inquiries as to what Single
Tax really is. Widespread and ex
pensive as the campaign in its favor
has been, there is yet much ignorance
regarding it This I propose to dis
pel herewith.
Single Tax is offered as a system
of taxation. It is offered as a tax
reform. It is offered as a panacea
for all the ills of society. We are
told that under the magic influence
of Single Tax, the inequalities so
apparent in society will completely
disappear; that crime, want, misery,
and even physical imperfections will
vanish with the introduction of this
peculiar system of so-called taxation.
Appeals to Emotions.
Single Tax appeals to the emotions
to those whose envy and prejudice
are easily awakened, and most gen
erally, to a class who are not direct-

he was placed under a fire of the hot
test nnd most severe kind. The scream
ing of the balls, the roaring of the can
non and the sharp crack and rattle of
the musketry thoroughly demoralized
him. He became absolutely sick and
paralyzed with fear. lie was s6 weak
from nervous excitement that he lost
physical control over himself.
General Grant came up at the very
climax of his fright, and, noticing his
pale face, his blue lips and chattering
teeth, lie salil: "Captain, you are fright
ened. That Is natural enough You
will get over It. Suppose," continued
Grant, "1 should come to you with a
hat containing niset.v-nine while beans
und one black one and I should ask
you to thrust your hand Into tlrt; hat nt

Do you think your chance of getting
that black bean would be very good?
Well, your chance fur being hit under

for drawing the black beau."

The most striking case hi history of

shire of the operating exnenses of

Single Tax ignores this principle
entirely. There must, then, b- some

YOU cannot farm without a wagon any
more than you can keep house without a
stove. You use your wagon every day
and work it harder than anything else on the
farm.
Buy a wagon that lasts longer than the aver
age. It is an easy thing to do, even though
all wagons which are painted alike may look
alike. The difference in wagons is underneath
the paint. It is the material and workman

which make them the best wagon investment.
We tell you how our wagons are built, and
we want every purchaser to convince himself
before buying, that when I H C wagons are
advertised as having oak hubs, hickory axles,
and long leaf yellow pine box bottoms, these
are the materials actually used.
When an I H C wagon reaches a farmer's

can make or that money can buy. There is
no need to speculate in buying a wagon.

MORTGAGES ON LAND.
Why It I Essential That They Should
Be Recorded.
As the value of land to the owner
Increases so does the security of mort
gage Investments given ou that laud
increase. A mortgage may be consid
ered as a deed of the land which re
vests the title In the original owner or
his successor on the paying on: or the
mortgage or the bond or uote which
the mortgage secures.
Mortgages are recorded In public
offices, called registers, recorders or
county clerks' offices, in much the same
way that deeds are, so that nny one
buying the land Is bound to take no
tice of them, and the land Is bound by
them, no matter to whom the land Is
conveyed, and no one has a right to
say that he bought the land uot know
ing that a mortgage was on it. for he
Is presumed by law to know such
facts, as a search of the title in these
public oflices would reveal.
If, however, the holder of the mort
gage does not cause the mortgage to
be recorded then any innocent pur
chaser of the land can take it clear of
the lieu of the mortgage.
In no particular has the law of this
country gone further than in the elTort
to secure the title of the landowner
and the security of the mortgage hold
er, and no Investments are more, high
ly regarded by the conservative busi
ness man than those founded on the
ImperWhable surface of the earth.

"It takes stout people to break all

"Tbey can't follow the fashion; their
size won"t let them.

'So we put them closer together,
