An Idle Land Gorged Crew
Holds SWAY
SWAY
(nana sleeth in the Portland Daily News,)

land, until 1t became city lots, was
taxed on a farm valuation of a few
hundred dollars an acre, the fellows
who are building homes on it now are
paying taxes on valuation of from
$4,000 an acre up, Does anybody
wonder why fortunes have been piled
up in this town by men and their sons
who had the chance to gobble the
states resources, and who could hold
their idle lands until they got their
price because of a robber taxation
system that protected them while put
ting the chief burden on the little fel.
And it is these men and their sons
who are digging deep into their pock-
cts for hired orators and argufiers to
keep the present taxation system in
force!
Oregon got rid of lot of evil power
of this land monopoly crew when the
Oregon system came. Some of the
crews hired men, like senators and
mayors, went to prison, some died In
disgrace, others merely were kicked
out of office, but the power the little
gang held through monopoly of land
can not be reached by political up
heavals; nothing can touch this power
Lut a tax that forces them to make
use of their land, or sell it to some
man who will use it.
Don't trot off with the idea that
taxation reform is little thing; It is
the last vital reform that Oregon
needs to get square deal for the man
who works.
And the man who tells you different
lies in the throat of him.

The population of Portland and vi

the 100000 mark. Twelve years ago
1t was about 100000. That is, only
one man voter in three today knows

than a fifth of the present voters
know enough Of things as they were
In the dark ages of Oregon to cast an
intelligent ballot on questions that
have had their root in history,
So here is some history, every man
who works will profit by the telling.
Until within the last IL years a
dozen families controlled Oregon.
These families made senator's, made
fortunes, ruled They ruled by their
wealth and their wealth was built on
Just one thing, control of the idle
lands of the state,
The leaders among the pioneers laid
the foundations of vast fortunes by
pre-empting, or getting for little or
nothing, vast areas of public lands
In time these lands becames cities,

All these decades these big hold
ings have barred the way to the set
tier, the worker, to industry and the

held for 800, and when that price
was offered the $1,000 mark was
charged, and received, because there
was no other land
Think of 1t, within the last six years
two big farms of one estate have been
cut up into city lots in Portland. That

GUM FOR CANOE cALKING.
An Efficient Article Can Be Made From
 Rosin and Vaselne.

Considerable need is often expert enced by canoeists and boatmen gen erally in the lack of good canoe gum to stop leaks or breaks which may occur in the calking of the boat. says the Scientific American When canoe ing in the northern waters of Canada or on the hikes in the Adirondaclls and the Rockies it is often inconvenient or impossible to obtain ready made gum which will answer this purpose
 A good canoe gum must answer sew eral demands-frst. it must be suffi- ciently pliable so as not to break and powder when in the cold water and under strain: second, it must not melt and run In the sun when the canoe is beached for short time: third. It must not dissolve or soften when in the water. and. last. it must set hard in a few moments If it is to meet the requirements of an emergency. It goes without saying that the raw ma teria must be easily accessible and the price as low as possible.
 All these demands are adequately met by gum compounded of rosin and vaseline. and the gum can be made in any water tight dish which may be heated over an open fire. One part of vaSeline and four parts of rosin. by weight heated until dissov- ed in each other will give gum which. at summer tenperatu is soft and easily dented. This Is the con sistency required for a gum to prevent crumbling in cold waters, such as Lake Superior.
 4 material compounded of 10 per cent vaseine and % per cent rosin Is quite brittle when cold However, in warm CT waters farther south this gum is sufficiently pliable and does not soften or melt readily in the sun.
 Addition of rosin makes the gum harder and more brittle: adding more vaseine makes it softer and tougher, so that any consistency may be had from the hardness of rosin to the soft ness of yaseine
 The above ingredients compounded in the proportions of 10 to 20 per cent of vaSeiine and 9O to go per cent of rosin will answer all the requirements of first class canoe gum. It may be carried in a tin or wrapped in paper, and it mets easily over the flame of a match and sticks like glue to warm ed surfaces Any coloring matter may be stirred into the hot liquid gum. For example. chinese blue gives q bluish green color. red lead gives a brilliant red. and chrome green yields Il bril- liant green Tie best proportions are one part of mineral pigment to one part of gum Tile addition of pigments makes the gum very hard.

Startina a Tiuht Screw.

When screw cannot be turned with an ordinary screwdriver the following method is usually successful: Put the cutting edge of cold chise in the slot of the screw head and slightly turn the chisel in the direction to loosen the screw. This will cause the chsel to "climb" out of the slot trifle. Hit the head of the chise light. sharp blow. which will cause 1t to bottom In the slot. but the inertia of the chisel in turning to its original position will cause the screw to turn a small amount in the desired direction. By repeating this several times the screw can be loosened so it is easily turned with a screwdriver.
