FROM THE PEOPLE
a REpLY TO MIR. STRAIN.
Portland. Orc. sept. 1. 1gl2

Portland, ore, Sept 4, 1912.
Editor East Oregonian:
In your issue of Tuesday, County
Assessor Strain declares that our ap-
peal to vote SO4 Y Yes, 800 Y Yes and
sos Y Yes, the latter specifically
against Single Tax, is loaded with a
joker so far as relates To Numbers
SO4 and 500.
Although Nos. SO4 and S06 are
vouched for by the state tax commits
sion, they are not legislative meas
ures. They are amendments to the
constitution and they merely permit
legislation. OF course If the legisla-
ture or the people desire to pave
the way for the larceny of our local
railroad taxes" and so on, undoubted-
ly such a measure could be accom-
plished
BY Mr.. Strains advice to study the
voters pamphlet, he evidently de-
sires to draw attention to the argu-
ment he submits on page 16 against
measure No. 304,
should suggest that all voters read
Mr.. Strains argument and then turn
to pages %, %, and "a and read the
arguments submitted by the state tax
commission in favor of Nos. S04, S06
and 3OS.
The governor and his co-commis-
sioners in this argument declare that
these three measures form "a broad
and sound basis for real tax reform in
Oregon"
l hope to speak in Pendleton very
shortly and at that time have every
belief that shall be able to convince
the people of Pendleton that we are
not advocating any "jokers."
Yours very truly,
