ry George Single Tax will do, and
from no less authority than Henry
George himself-who surely ought to
| know.
If the Graduated Single Tax were
not honest-to-goodneSs Single Tax,
| you can be quite sure the Fels people
with their millions would not be back
! ing It,
But Single Tax has not the rich
man for its prey alone. This is what
Henry George tells us will happen to
the mechanic, the carpenter and so
forth.
"The selling value of his lot will
diminish-theoretic it will en-
tirely disappear. - His only
loss will be If he wants to sell his lot
without getting another"
Do YOU like the idea. Pendletonion,
If YOU ever leave Pendleton of find
ing your lot is not saleable for cash
1t is quite true that the Graduated
Single Tax will break up the large
holdings, although Alfred d. Cridge.
one of Mr.. U'Ren's aids, says he is
not sure which it will do-break UP
the holdings or produce revenue.
But it will break up the holdings
by forcing the owners to SELL They
quickly break up the property and as
1t becomes cut up, it becomes exempt
ed from taxation, while at the same
time 1t depreciates in value and low
ers all the property i'm value for miles
around
Where then is your enormous Grad
uated Single Tax - be raised when
the holdings are broken up? Does il
not seem likely that the small owner
and lot owner will have to pay?
In the meantime you have exempt
ed from taxation $350,O00,OOO of per-
sonal property in Oregon. All this
taxation must pile up on the land
Don't you think after all, that in face
OF that, Single Tax will not only
knock the bottom out of prices. but
VIII confiscate the land to the state ?
Yes, II is quite true the funds for
this fight come largely from wealthy
men. But they are not wealthy soap
manufacturers or trust magnates. for
remember that every trust and all its
properties except land are exempt
from taxation under Single Tax.
The numbers against Single Tax are
S65 No and 3OS Yes, the latter be-
cause it. repeals the URen County
Home Rule in taxation amendment.
How about it? Are you for or
against Single Tax?

The approach to the steel bridge
over Duncan's creek at Whitmire was
washed away in the food and high
waters of four weeks ago, and nothing
has been done toward replacing it. 1t
is very great inconvenience sto the
people of that section, and should have
the immediate attention Of the super
visor. The farmers living on the New
berry side of the creek are anxious to
haul their fertilizer and the ford is
scarcely passahle and the bridge
should be replaced at once.
We understand that the supervisor
was in Whitmire this week. The peo-
pie of Whitmire and of No. 4 township
on this side of the creek have been
very patient and it does seem that the
time has come when this bridge should
be repaired.
