AXEL RAHM WRITES
INTERESTING LETTER

Axel Rahm, for many years a resi-
dent of Hood River valley, who three
years ago removed to his old home in
Helingsborg, Swenden, and who has a
host of friends here, recentIy.wrote
the following interesting letter to his
father-in-law, Robert Rand, proprietor
of Wau Guin GUN:
'How rapidly the time speeds away.
Ere we are aware of it another sum-
mer has been added to the past and we
have come a step nearer the approach
ing eternity-our eternity
The fore part of this summer was
warm and dry, but July and August
and up to the 10th of September have
been rainy and cool, IN fact "wet",
and much grain has been spoiled both
by lodging and in the shock. The last
four weeks have been bright and sunny
and fine for fall planting.
All the Swedish newspapers have
had great deal to say about the polit-
ical fight going on in "the states,'' as
the u. S. A. are called here.
Wilson seems to be the favorite
that is, the man whom they think has
the most chance to be elected-if any
of the, three present candidates are
elected at all, which is somewhat
doubtful. Has politics ever been in
such mess as the present one? And
who is responsible for it, but the trusts
andi the interests. That is the way
it looks from this side of the big
water You may think that it is
only in America things political are
mixed, but the situation there is as
quiet and peacable as Quaker meeting
compared with what it is in Europe.
Here we have war and rumors of war.
The pig nations are lined up in two
hostile camps and now they are trying
to force the lesser ones to take sides.
A few days ago two powerful navies
passed right outside the breakwater of
this port. In the forenoon five of the
largest English dreadnaughts passed
northward and in the afternoon 30 Rus
sian man-ofwars passed going south,
among which were ten battleships, six
armored cruisers and the rest lesser
ships. This was so-called demon
stration' against Germany. 1t was a
magnificent sight to see all those
colossuses pass by, one by one in single
file. You know both the English and
Russians are relatives to Sweden.
The crown prince of this country is
married to an English princess and
another Swedish prince is married to a
Russian princess. The crown prince
and his family are staying at their coun-
try estate just outside this city and
they are often seen on the streets and
in the shops. The crown prince takes
part in all the current sports and is a
Dully boy all round. Even the social
lists think that he ought not to be

in passing law that all American

great deal of attention in shipping

England and the rest of Europe. They
call the Americans "perfiidous Yank-

well believe it tlckles me to ask them:

that the United States is wrong in this

SINGLE TAX DEBATE
DRAWS Big CROWD

With the big Heilbronner hall we'll
crowded, many men and women'having
come in from the country for the argu-
ments, the debate last Friday night
between Chas. H. Shields, secretary of
the Oregon Equal Taxation League,
and W. S. U'Ren, leader of the cam
paign to secure an amendment to the
constitution, which wili-allow the ap-
plication of a graduated single tax,
created more lntretest than any other
political meeting in the valley this
year. While the supporters OF Mr..
Shields were in the majority, his op-
ponent had a strong following and the
caustic bits of repartee and clinching
points of argument of each speaker
were met with rounds of applause.
Mr.. U 'Ren. who had the floor first
with 40-minute speech, admitted that
he and a number of other associates
were in the pay of the Fels commits
sion. He denied that the system of
taxation Fas proposed by the single
takers of Oregon was at all Identical
with that propounded by Henry
George. 81 intend to help make such
| laws, " he said, ''in Oregon that no
man can get dollar without working
for it and no man shall produce dol
lar of value without getting it. The
graduated single tax bill is drawn for
the purpose of reducing the tax very
greatly on the men whoswork for what
they get and increasing it on the men
who get what the other fellow works
| for.
The proposed amendment will levy
a tax on three classes OF values now
practically exempt, namely. water
power, railroad and other public SER
vice corporation franchises aud incomes
de.lved from ground leases.
The speaker cited British Columbia
and Alberta as countries in which the
single tax was working out success
fully. However. he qualified his state
ments by saying that some other sys-
tens Of taxation also existed there.
lie quoted from the bible in an en-
| deayor to show that the land was in
tended equally for the use OF all. NO
one has ever said that 1T was morally
wrong ito exempt personal property
and improvements from taxation, he
concluded
IN the beginning MIR. Shields said {:
The principle of the single tax has
been repudiated the world over. 1t is
fundamentally unjust and economically
unsound, having no place in the eco
nomic consideration of sane, intellec-
tuai and sef-governing people. such as
oregon can boast.
All forms of wealth are inter-
ehangeable, said Mr.. Shields. "A
man may purchase land with the earn
ings Of his abors or with other forms
OF wealth. All values, whether they
be Of land or what not. are protected
by the arm of society, for which the
taxes are collected to maintain. Why
should not each and every one OF these
forms Of value pay just portion OF the
tax then to maintain that which pro-
tects it and makes it possible to have
Us exlstence?"
Mr.. U'Ren has produced a book OF
Iaouiated figures to show that the
smaller farmer would pay less tax un-
Ger the single tax system than unds T
Ilea NE tax system now in operation. Mr..
ohieIds, however, replied that ne
The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1912-10-31

wouldn't attempt to answer the figures.
For, he said, "they amount to moth
ing. Men, whom you yourself will ad-
init are pillars of the single tax all de-
clare that an application of the single
tax will cause land values to diminish
and that it will lose its selling value.
Men will not come to state and
invest their money where they know
the land values will decrease. Oregon
has. been selected by the commission
as the state where such a principle is
to be tested. In other words, as the
medical fraternity would do, when they
have a new serum that they want to
experiment with, they first take a
guinea pig, rabbit, dog or some lower
animal order of and inject the serum
tion them. If it kills after a few
trials, they will give it up as a bad job.
If it does not, then they will try it on
humanity.
$50 with the Fels Fund Commission
of America. They would try this sys-
TEN on Oregon and if it proved fail
ure, they would not attempt it else
where. Shall Oregon occupy such a
position In relation to other states and
countries"
The rebuttal talks of the two speak
ers were to great extent taken up
with charges and answers as to the
source from which their funds were
drawn and the amount of expenditure
each campaign was costing. Mr.. U'Ren
began the question by stating that he
admitted that he secured a salary from
Fels and from the single tax commits
sion. However, he asserted that Mr..
Shields had never made clear how
much he was getting or who was pay
ing the bills.
In reply Mr.. Shields said: "Mr.
U 'Ren came to my Office and asked to
see my books. 1t was in the morning
and they were not up to date and in
vited him to return in the afternoon
and told him that they would then be
at his disposal. However, he failed to
come. He has had plenty of time to
look at my books, but he doesn't want
to. He would rather tell you that he
doesn't know. He can make much of
that ignorance.
"0f course, the men who are paying
the most money to the campaign fund
of those fighting the single tax are
those whom it will strike most heavily,
but our funds are being drawn from
many sane thinking men, who are will
ing to donate their money to ward off
the evil. To whom do you go when you
want funds for the erection of Y. M.
G. A., or to establish some public char
ity or conduct some institution for the
public welfare? 1t is to such men as
give to these that we have collected
our money.
"And how much have we spent? An
expert accountant went over the books
yesterday and found that our total ex-
penditure up to date has been SIT, 900
as compared with your $40, ,0O0."
Mr.. Shields asked Mr.. u R'en if any
of the leaders of single tax were land
owners. He read the name of the lead
ing exponents, A. d. Cridge, H. D..
Wagnon. w. G. Eggleston, A.W. Orton
and H. X. Parkingon and showed the
small amount of tax that each paid
"Mr. U'Ren has sold all of his land
and has invested his money in bonds
and other properties that will be ex-
empt, under application of the single
tax.
Mr.. U'Ren, however, denied that he
had sold all of his land. ''My wife and
| still have 60 acres down in Clacka-
mas county, and it is in my wife's

Saturday afternoon was backed into it.
The train was going at slow rate of

Despite the fact that the air brakes

car with a heavy impact that threw

was stated that the application of sim

effect the decrease in value and in
