V v.!H': voters of OreRon are urged
to support K. A. 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.
