FULL LEASED WIRE TELEGRAPH REPORT
THE BATTLE FOIl THE SINGLE TAX LAW.
It is funny how political ick-as are forced onto the peop'e .of
Oregon from the outside.
Here we are asked to subscribe to the Joseph Fel3 Single
Tax fund for the Single Tax propaganda.
The fund will be used to carry Oregon for the Single Tax in
1912, under the auspices of the Fels Commission.
According to the printed report of the Single Tax conference
$16,775 was spent in Oregon last year to carry the Single Tax
amendment to the constitution.
It was spent "per W. S. U'Ren, in printing and general ex
penses," according to report 31 of the report.
Besides that $2194 was spent in Oregon by W. G. Eggleston,
of Portland, preparing for the campaign of 1912.
A large part of the space in the report of the New York City
conference is taken up by statements of what they will do in
Oregon in 1912.
Oregon is to be made the first example of the operations of
the Single Tax system in the United States.
The constitution was surreptitiously amended to abolish heal
tax and repeal tne poll tax, but in rtality for the aWjlo tax c i
land.
Following will show the program of the iSngle Taxers, so far
as Oregon is concerned.
In Oregon the campaign of 19 10 was to secure the adoption of
an amendment to the constitution providing for county home
rule in taxation. This campaign was merely one of preparation
for a fight for straight Single Tax in 1912. The legislature of
Oregon submitted two tax amendments providing for changes
that seemed progressive, but did not really go to the root of the
tax question, and it was not possible to get the legislature to sub
mit a measure for county home rule ; consequently, it wa3 nec
essary for our friends to make use of the political power given
them by the initiative and referendum, and in that way submit
the desired amendment to the voters. That was done.
It will be remembered that in 1908, cn a square fight, with
its proper name on the ballot, single tax on land was rejected by
the votcis
INDIVIDUALISM VERSUS ORGANIZATION.
Spring-Cleaning
The Human Syatom Needs It.
Mrs. M. Morgan. 411 4th Are, E,
Bralnerd, Minn., writes: "1 take from
one to two bottles of Hood's Sarsapa
rllla In the spring to purify the blood
just a regularly as I do my house
cleanlnff, and ro around light-footed
and liKht-hearled. I believe it la the
best blood puriller known."
Hood's Sarsaparllla so combines the
curative principles of roots, bark and
hTb as to raise them to their highest
elilclency; hence Its unequaled cures.
Get It today in usual liquid iorm or
tablets called Sarsaubs.
LANDSCAPE
ARTIST TO
LECTURE
; Organization in the sense of co-operation for unselfish pur
poses has a great deal of merit.
Organizations that are built up at the expense and suppres
sion of individualism are pernicious.
The individual who sees clear and thinks straight and works
out problems and makes the demonstration alone advances the
world.
Organizations are, in their very nature, parasitic, and must
be carried on the shoulders of human flesh and blood.
In Russia, it is said, on the back of every citizens rides an
aristocrat, a soldier and a public official.
What a staggering burden for any human being to live under,
and what a mockery of civilizati on and freedom !
But are we not duplicating the same thing in our beloved
com iry?
Of the five million dollars tax es appropriated by the legisla
ture, how much goes to labor and how much to officialism?
The political machine, the trust machine, the educational ma
chine all take their tolls.
Christianity, which started out to be a pure and simple spir
itual kingdom, has become a vast complicated machine.
These organizations are most of them highly capitalized, ex
pensive, individual-suppressing, costly luxuries.
The average individual is living under the burden of a dozen
organizations which are all sapping him for support.
A skillful class of exploiters are found in them all, reaping
the profits of pretending to do something for the people.
The parasite class all take to the organization, and seek to
live off it by their devotion to the machine.
A few strong individuals live in spite of the crafts of or
ganization, and the exploitation of the popular institution.
If strong men and women are to be developed there must be
a weeding out of the multiplicity of organisms.
Are you a man or a woman, or are you a cog in the wheels
of predatory institutions which are feeding with your sub
stance? i ! i
