Pootli, Republican ranilUlate for United States Senator by t I.c women of Eugene, who give tliiir reasons in the following letter whu'ii lias l.een addressed to Booth. It is the highest possible indorsement a ciuulidato can receive from women in ail appeal to other women. Says the letter: "To Mr. It. A. Booth: "We, your neighbor women, who have intimate acquaintance with you that has extended over many years and who earnestly petitioned you to become a candidate for the United States Senate, desire to express our renewed interest in you and your candUlaey. "We desire most emphatically to resent the slurs aimed at you by your political enemies now in high places in Oregon. "We would like to have the mes sage go from us 'to the women of Oregon that we know you intimately we have seen you in your home and in ours that we are your friends and supporters because we know that, if elected, you will carry into the national counsels the same high moral attributes, and the same unselfish devotion to right, that has characterized your home and com munity life. "In every battle that we have fought for purity, for home protec tion, for civic virtue, you have been our counselor and helper; we want the same spirit, the sahie high pur poses that have characterized your home and commuunity life,,, that has made homes brighter, schools strong er and churches more effective through your inuence and direct help to be carried through your election to every home under our flag. "We regret that in this advanced age of your beloved and progressive state that people who have been hon ored and advam cd by the vote ot the people of the state should so far for get common decency as to make the attack that has recently been n ade upon you, but your influence for good in this state will be a yotent force when their names are forgotten."

Taxes and the method of collect ing them are of personal interest to every responsible citizen In the com munity. One sage brush philosopher has remarked that governments were created for the express purpose of levying taxes, collecting them and spending the money. It is apparent that other would-be philosophers adhere to that opinion without rhyme or reason. Instance the sur tax amendment to be found on page 60 of the offi cial pamphlet. Judged by the accepted canons of taxation, this proposed measure has not a logical leg to stand on; and viewed in the light of any rational tax reform that has ever been pro posed, it refuses to be classified. It is neither fish, flesh nor fowl. It is proposed to levy a graduated extra tax on all real estate holdings above the value of $25,000, ranging from one-half of one per cent In the minimum to three per cent in the maximum. The very terms of it baldly stated signify its injustice. It is aimed merely at a specific class of property holders; and the most con demnable feature of it is, it will hit the productive property owner hard er than any other. In any system of taxation that Is just there must be equitable distri bution of the burden. It will not do to tax Jones on a different basis than Smith is taxed simply because Jones owns more property. Under this sur tax amendment, as proposed, Jones and Smith may own adjoining realty, the Smith realty assessed at $24,000 and the Jones property at -25,000. It could very easily be the fact that the Smith realty produced creator revenue than that which belong to Jones. Yet, if this amendment car ried, Jones would be obliged to pay $125 extra into the public till. If tax could bo more inequitably laid than this, we have yet to be apprised of the system. This proposed tax amendment lacks every element of scientific tax reform. As a single tax proposition which it is evidently meant to be, it lacks discrimination between simon pure land monopoly and the indus trial UBe of land. It would sense lessly impose an added burden upon the latter without reaching the for mer in any appreciable degree. It is nothing more nor less than an un just, undigested and destructive va gary on the part of would-be tax ttn kerers. Peculiar to note there is no argument in support of it in the offi cial pamphlet. No sound argument of that sort is possible. Telegram.
