GOVERNOR WEST AND ANTI-VICE
CRUSADE


The papers of Portland announce
that the recall OF Governor West has
been suggested by some of the liquor
Interests OF that city. There seems to
be combine between the liquor
dealers and the brewers association,
and it is said they are ready to start
something ii they can in any way an
noy the governor and stop the anti
vice crusade.
This matter was brought to the at
tention of the governor but he spoke
lightly of the rumor, merely saying
III they do inaugurate such a
movement, | shall be glad to con-
tribute $50 toward their fund to have
the petitions circulated. | want to
see them bring it up and put it be-
fore the people, for | can see no bet
ter way in which they themselves
could be shown up. If nothing else
occurs to bring some of the condi-
tions in the state to the attention Of
the people, ! shall have few bills
myself to be presented at the next
legislature and to be brought before
the people later, il necessary.
The impression seems generally
to be that | am making a fight
against the people of the tenderloin
district I'm not after them at all
I'm after the officials who are crook
ed and who refuse to do their duty.
Once ! can get men at the work who
are straight and will do their duty
won't have to worry any more about
the campaign. 1t will run itself If
Multnomah county had the right sort
of officials it would not be long until
the undesirable element would have
packed up and moved away"
The Courier does not believe that
anything will be done toward invok-
ing the recall of the governor. Port
land is not the only place that will
receive the governors attention. 1t
was believed at one time that he was
preparing the way for a second term
but hearing of this he soemnly as
serted that he would not accept a re-
elction. He considers it his duty as
the chief executive of the state to en-
force the laws through the officials,
and If these officers fail in their duty
he considers that he has the power
to remove them, as he did remove
District Attorney Cameron Yesterday
and appointed in his place Walter P.
Evans, a man of his own choosing. If
men are elected to enforce the law
and have taken oath to do so, and
fail, the governor holds that he has
the power to declare their office va

IDEAS NOT COPYRIGHTED.


The Oregonian gives great space to
prove that the progressive party
platform was taken from that Of the
socialist party. 1t should not be for
gotten, that Solomon, known as the
wisest man in the world, said that
there is nothing new under the sun.
This has been proven thousand
times Even socialism itself is moth
ing new except in name. 1t is found
ed on the old claim that the individ-
ual must give way when the good
Of the community is in question, in
other words the state has the right
to correct the inequality of wealth.
Now If the progressiyes are disposed
to help disseminate this doctrine the
socialists certainly have no call to
find fault
When we analize the meaning of
socialism We will came to the con
clusion that it is intended as a pro-
gressiye idea; nearly all the famous
writer's on this subject claim It as
such, The trouble is that Debs and
his party have adopted the foreign
brand of socialism which tends to-
ward revolution. Whatever brings
prosperity to the people any political
party has a right to adopt The re-
publican and democratic parties have
for years tried to outdo each other
In promises to the people, but such
men as President Roosevelt, who Is
known as patriot, has the confidence
OF the people and they know that he
will carry out every pledge made in
his party platform. There is no room
for the foreign brand of socialism, as
this is a government of the people
and for the people.
Colonel Roosevelt while president
put through the Panama canal enter
prise the greatest undertaking by
any government since the world be-
gan, and now it is claimed that this
is socialist idea IL this is true ev-
cry socialist in the country should
vote for the eN-president That is the
way to secure the adoption of import
ant undertakings by the government.

Governor Vests removing District
Attorney Cameron from office as a

day are further complicated by the

INFORMATION ABOUT SINGLE
TAX.

INFORMATION ABOUT SINGLE
Many persons are calling upon the
Courier for information in regard to
single or graduated tax, and FORUM
ately directly in line with these in
quiries comes a communication from
Portland, which contains much of the
information desired 1t says that
Alanson NJ Hines, we'll known ad-
vocate of land values, or single tax
system of taxation has just returned
from a trip to Vancouver, Victoria,
New Westminster and other places in
British Columbia This communica-
tion, which is from w. G. Eggleston,
Of Portland, says that the object of
Mr.. Hines trip was to talk to busi-
ness men, farmers, mechanics and
working men generally, and get their
opinion in regard to the practicai
working of the system of the exemp-
tion of personal property and inn
provements and taxing only the un-
improved value of land, that is, in
regard to the single tax system.
Mr.. Hines says that he talked with
men in all lines of business They
speak of their tax system as Single
tax" and with scarcely desentng
voice, their verdict is that the sys-
TEN spells prosperity, not ruin The
story of this visit is very lengthy,
but it contains much information of
importance.
Under the head General Uplift
Among the People" we find the fol-
lowing items that are very readable.
Many persons with whom | talk
ed spoke of the better general con-
dition of the people under single
tax Here is the statement of J. NJ.
Mcpherson, of the Maritime Trust
Co., Vancouver We find that un-
der single tax our business is better.
| did not favor the new system be-
cause we have large land holdings.
While the speculative feature in our
business is not so great, we sell more
property by reason of the growth of
population, and We have more and
better buildings to insure. There is
general uplift among all classes.
Finch & Finch, ladies outftters.
Victoria, say; AS far as we have OBJ
served, everyone is satisfied with the
Iland-value or single tax system of
taxation. Population and trade are
increasing rapidly, and during the
last year there has been a marked
change from former conditions. We
notice that the wives and daughters
of farmers and workingmen seem to
have more money to spend than in
former years.
&C. B. Sylvester, of the Sylvester
Feed Co, Victoria says: Business
has increased so per cent under sim
gle tax Single tax makes the big
speculator get busy. All others like
it"
George McGresor, of Victoria, is
quoted as saying:
I'm our district We exempted i'm
Iprovements by referendum at the
last election, and there has been no
objection to the new system. We are
going ahead by leaps and bounds
since we adopted the single tax sys-
TEN. We have quit fining people by
taxes for erecting buildings and 9TH
erwise improving land. The land
value tax is the only fair system of
taxation.
