FOUND NO PLACE AS
GOOD AS HOOD RIVER
Dr. W. S. Nichol nd family returned
the Utter part of the week frra anex
tended trip through the eastern and
outhern Hates in which they visited
many of the orchard districts and other
placea of interest. They went by the
northern route visiting Vancouver
and Victoria on their way. After
leaving Winnipeg they went down the
Great I. aim. Ontario, visiting Niag
ara Falls. From Buffalo east they
traversed tt,. .nr.li- districts of New
York and Ontario, then to Boston, and
south to New Orleans, rroro there
they made an extensive trip through
Alabama and Georgia, visiting St.
Louis and their old home in southwest
Missouri, returning home by the
southern route through Texas.stopping
at Los Angeles, and then home.
SDeakinv nf fi imnressions of the
trio Mr. Niehnl
"In all th niures we visited, we did
not find a place that we would prefer to
riooa ruver. We saw many uisincis
that are excellent, yet in all of them
there were things lacking to make it
the ideal place to live that we enjoy
here.
"My impression of the apple crop in
the east ia that it haslbeen greatly
overestimated. Only in a few places
did we see what was called a lull crop,
The lake district of New York
seemed to be in the best shape, the
orchards being well cared for and the
fruit of fair quality. The Ontario crop
seemed to be very light. In Missouri
the crop is large, but the quality poor.
The fruit is simply covered with fun
gus, the trees badly affected with
blight and the armies full of worms.
The fungus is so bad that it can be
easily seen in the orchards from the
train.
"As a boy I remember how good the
apples tasted in our old orchard in
Missouri, and while there I had a curi
osity to eat the fruit from the old trees
and see whether it was merely a boyish
fancy or whether the apples really had
a superior flavor to our Hood Kiver
fruit. We wandered through the old
orchard and picked apples from many
trees, i must say that 1 was disap
pointed. As comuared with the apples
we raise here, the fruit from the old
trees of my boyhood days were much
inierior in every particular.
"About the best commercial proposi
tions that we saw on our trip were the
turpentine trees in Alabama and the
lima bean crop of California. The
turpentine trees are yielding fortunes
to their owners, and the lima beans
seemed to be the most profitable crop
in California. In the latter state we
saw only partial crops of olives and
walnuts but many trees bare of a crop
and partially dead trees of every va
riety everywhere that had the appear
ance of winter kill."

As the general exodus for schools
and colleges begins one cannot help
but notice the increased number from
Hood Kiver who are planning on at
tending the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege this year. What is the cause of
this renewed interest? Ia it the call of
the field, or hasthe hum of the ma
chine shop caught?th ear of the young
farmer? With some it may be the
hustle and bustle of a business career,
while with the girls it seems to be
the home making science which has at
tracted their attention. At any rate,
O. A. C. is receiving her share of Hood
River's young harvest of freshmen.
The old students are, of course, re
turning with renewed energy and en
thusiasm to take up the responsibilities
of upper classmen. Ray Nickelsen,
Carl Berry and Floyd Nunamaker are
returning to take up sophomore work
in agriculture. Roberta Friday and
Edythe Brunquist will continue their
work in domestic science. Mary Irwin
and JJoy Mason will enter onjjunior
worn in commerce. Robert Shinn,
after an absence of two years, will re
enter as a junior in agriculture. Free
man Mason, who has' spent his summer
in the valley, will return to begin his
work as an associate editor on "The
Orange", the juniors' year annual
book.
The new students who will enter the
agricultural course are Waldo Arena,
A Imont Ferguson, Culvert Page, Har
ry Coshow and Forrest Moe. Earl
Franz will take up work in business
management in the commerce course
Gladys Clark, Addis Freeman and Hel
en Cox will register in domestic sci
ence.
in the last two years many new
buildings have been erected at a great
cost to the state and with the many
new instructors added to the faculty we
preuictone of the fullest and most sua
cesstui years that O. A. C. has ever
enjoyed.
The green campus and the many new
improvements will make for the re
turning students a happy, welcome and
to the "Rooks" it will soon become as
dear as to the graduate. Contributed
GRADUATED SINGLE
TAX ABLY DISCUSSED
Foster Home Industries
In reference to a movement recently
started to get some kind of canning
establishment here, the following
clipping from an article on the central
ized commercial bodies of Boston will
be of interest:
I he Boston Chamber of Commerce
is hot alter new factories new induS'
tries - anil with considerable success,
but it also has organized a company
with $",00,000 available for the devel
opment and protection of factories
already here. Centralized interests
of the citv know that a developed
home indutsrv ia sometimes preferable
even to a new one, and the centralized
interests here have created the agency
to see that ffood things planted in
Boston grow and piosper." '
This tits our esse so well that fur
ther comment is really unnecessary,
but it is hcDtrl that the committee
appointed at the last meeting of the
Commercial club .will get real busy
and do what this clipping suggests.

Charles H. Shields addressed an at
tentive audience at the Commercial
club rooms Friday evening on the ques
tion of single tax. His remarks were
listened to witn considerable interest.
and he made clear many things about
the proposed graduated single tax
measure not generally understood by the
muuiic. m me conclusion of his re
marks he was asked a number of aues
tions by single tax. advocates, which
brought out discussions, and while the
answers of Mr. Shields did not appar
ently BBiiB.y mem.iney were generally
satisfactory to the audience.
A. I. Mason was present and stated
that he had arranged a joint ?debate
between Mr. Shields and W. S. IJ'Ren
at Pine Grove grange hall some time
in uciouer, the exact date to be an
nounced later, when both sides of the
question will be discussed.
Ibat graduated single tax and the
various single tax measures offered in
Multnomah, Clackamas and Coos coun
ties were nothing mors nor loan than
plain single tax was one of the earliest
statements Mr. Shield made.
iou win nna, he said, "in everv
communication that Mr. Cridge, one of
me reis paid workers, has sent out,
nuo ueoareu mis statement or mine
to be untrue. However, I can back it
with proof, for not onlv do the single
iHxers sianu wnoie-nearedly for Henry
George, who declared that the purpose
of single tax was the absolute and en
ure confiscation of land by the state.
but 1 can also prove my statement by
W. S. U'Ken. Rather heedlessly the
other day in a letter to the Oregonian
ne aammea this to be true. This is
wnai u Ken said:
the single taxers have presented
two single tax measures, one is the lo
cal county option law for Multnomah.
uiackamas and Coos counties. Th
other is the Graduated specifiic tax ex
emption amendment.
"This is the first time Mr. U'Ren has
ever made such an admission.and while
he admits writing this letter, every
other paid single tax worker says his
statement is not true. I leave von
gentlemen to judge for yourselves."
tur. Shields first told of his work in
Seattle and declared that his private
business under single tax would escane
paying J10O0 a year in taxes. His was
a matter of principle, he said. He had
come to Oregon because he had told the
beattle single taxers that he was deter
mined that Oregon should know the
truth of the case, and misrepresenta
tions, he contended, were never true.
Henry George, he went nn. in his
book 'Progress and Povertv'. 33 veara
ago have the source of single tax. the
abolition of private nronertv in land."
The speaker gave the history of the
single , tax movement in Oregon. He
told of the Slb.OOO spent here two veari
ago in putting through the tricky home
rule measure.
This measnre was offered." said
Secretary Shields, "because the single
taxers saw straight single tax de
feated, and it was their idea to get the
favor of the small land owner and the
small home owner by the exemptions
offered in the graduated single tax
measure. This is a purely single tax
measure. The graduated expression
used Is just a trick. Single tax is
offered to you as a tax reform, as a
system of taxation that will relieve all
the ills of society. As a matter of fact
it is not a system of taxation at all,
and far from being a tax reform. It
has but one object, that of restoring
privately owned land back to the state.
"The taxpayer," declared Shields,
"should bje the man with the ability to
pay. Graduated single tax ignores
this, and its purport is to make the
man pay who cannot pay. And when
he cannot pay, it will confiscate his
land to the state. Graduated single
tax is not a revenue getter. My single
tax friends will tell you it will break
up large land holders and thus reduce
the price of land.
"this may be true. It may not be
true. We can only tell by experience.
But, if it be true, the revenue which
the single taxers figure will come from
the land owners will then not be forth
coming, for you remember they say
large holdings will be broken up. In
the meantime you have exempted per
sonal property. Still your taxes muBt
be paid. Who is left to pay them?
just tne small lot owner, the small
home owner and the small farmer, and
when they cannot pay, their land will
go to the state.
Tbe speaker went on to point out how
for this reason the single taxers' fig
urea are unreliable for the simple rea
son that the large revenue exempted
from the large land owners would not
be forthcoming.
He contiuued, "All land values under
graduated single tax must and will de
cline in value. The selling value and
the rental value will be destroyed.
When the full rental value is taken by
me state, ine state s means to raise
funds will be leasing, for there will be
no value on which to place a tax. To
you, ladies and gentlemen, it will be a
case or pay your taxes or get out.
"Do you want to get- out? If so,
vote for single tax. U'Ren. of course.
promises you that if you don't like the
law, yuu can repeat u. inis argument
does not appeal to me. Does it appeal
to you? Do we want failures? Do we
want an era of depression, for that is
what declining land values and no
market for your land will spell. As
land values decline, the mortgagee
will loreclose your mortgages. An
era of land communism and land social
ism will be upon you. In my belief it
will ba before you ever have the op,
portumty to repeal the O Ken single
tax measure. No progress was ever
made under a law of this kind. No
progress will ever be made. Egvpt
saw a system oi land communism and
bgypt fell. Greece and Rome fell too
in their turn, when they applied the
test. Barbarian races everywhere
have land communism. Is that what
we want? lhese measures are prom
ised to cure all evils.
I am not sure whether graduated
single tax is promised to cure rheuma
tism and gout, out i Know it is prom
ised to cure crime, want and all social
evils. Personally, I doubt this. I
never did have faith in quack doctors.
un the ballot in November, went
on the speaker, "you have offered three
measures bv the Mute Tax Commission
Nos. 304, 306 and 308. These will give
you a fractional system of tax reform,
and with absolute assurance I leave
them to your consideration.
1 want to thank you for the verv
careful comsderation you have shown
me this evening and from the talks 1
have had here today. 1 have no Ques
tion of the manner in whicn the voters
in this section will mark their ballots."
