to give to his wife as present. his
father and mother know nothing
about it. When first arprised OF the
rather expensive present young Nc
Lean had bought for his wife. Mr.. and
Mrs. Mclean branded the story as
absolutely ridiculous"

Mclean. She promised to find out
from her sons own lips whether he
had made the purchase. II merely

TO TRY TAX REFORM
Oregon Legislature Takes Up
Single Tax Bill.

Portland, Or, Jan. 31.-Oregon may
yet adopt the single tax. A measure
is now before the state legislature
that is inteded to pave the way for
the single tax and it may be passed.
Advocates of the new method are
working for ii under the leadership of
w. S. O'Ren who has championed re-
form measures SO far introduced in
this state.
Joseph Fels, the Philadelphia mil
lionaire single tax advocate, has es-
tablished fund for use in this state
and a Part of the money was used
during the late campaign. Mr.. Fels,
himself, will visit Portland next week
and make a number of addresses, all
favoring the single tax. Henry George
jr., of New York City. will be in Port
land February and he also will be
heard on the theory of taxation made
SO prominent by his father.
The bill now under consideration
by the legislature is one providing for
an annual payment to the state by
all claimants appropriating water for
power development purposes. Enact
ment of such measure, say the sin
gle tax advocates. will separate the
value Of these water rights from the
land expediate single tax legislation.
The Carson bill, as it is known, is
the forerunner of the new system OF
taxation and whether it passes or not,
a measure will be submitted at the
next general election to voters of each
county prescribing method OF intro.
ducing the single tax system.
