Mems Clothes Worse Than wom.r,s


Mrs. Lille Devereaux Blake thinks
that mems clothes are just as uncom-
Portable and injurious to health as
women's, and as they are the lords
OF creation and women follow meekly
in their footsteps she holds them re-
sponsible for the irrational clothing
OF both sexes. Talking to the New
York City Mothers club she said:
Men wear atrocious clothes. They
are both hideous and uncomfortable
and detrimental to health. | should
think they would be glad to put on
women's clothes. These poor. miser-
able men, / feel sorry for them when
! see them dressed in the same clothes

perfectly awful to wear clothes like
that in hot weather. If were a lord

will dare to lift a hand against the
program? These farmers own their
land Iegitimately. They earned their
money honestly and have right to
spend it for more land, automobiles
or in any other investment which
pleases them.
There is but one remedy which may
be applied by Legislation and that Is
the graduated land taxa tax which
will make it Improbable to own more
than certain amount of productive
land This will stop land monopoly
quicker and more surely than any
other remedy.
But how many of the people Of
Umatilla county, Or Oregon will vote
to enact graduated land tax? With
the remedy within their grasp how
many have the courage to put the
remedy into effect? 1t is a big ques
ton. But it is a question which every
Ola settled section must meet sollle
time As the land is needed by home
less people, society will simply be
forced to adopt some protective and
remedial measure which will stop
monopoly.
With a system of electric lines COW
ering Umatilla county and the county
cut up into small tracts the popula-
ton would be quadrupled. With the
present big farms the wheat belt will
stand where it is today. Progress is
impossible
But who VIII have the courage to
apply the remedy for the big farm?

URGES GRADUATED LAND TAN.

According to the Pendieton East
Oregonian, the progress and develop
mnt of Umatilla county is being great
~ retarded through the fact that much
of the richest farm lands have fallen
into the hands of a comparatively few
men. This big farm evil as the East
Oregonian terms it, is constantly in
creasing instead of diminishing. A
few farmers, grown rich through wheat
raising, have been adding to their hold
ings until today vast areas of the
controlled by them. In consequence
the farm districts are being rapidly
doned for lack of school children and
the general progress of the county
greatly retarded. AS remedy the
East Oregonian suggests the graduated
land tax and commenting on such a
law in Oregon, says:
Everybody knows that the big
farms of Umatilla county are q posi-
tive drawback TO the county, While
they may be highly profitable to their
owners. AS the land is accumulated
into a few hands, homes are abandon
ed, school houses locked up and dis
tricts allowed to lapse.
The farms are handled By a few
hired men. but these are no addition
TO the country settlements The fami'
ties that once occupied the big farms
before they became the property of
one man. have either moved to the
towns or out of the county and. state
entirely. The country settlements
are running down every year.
But what is the remedy? How.
are you going to prevent men from
investing in wheat land? Who shall
deny any citizen the right to buy OUT
his neighbor if he can?
Although this program may kill the
county as a home district and may
stop the growth of the towns. who
