ORGANIZED CAMPAIGN
AGAINST SINGLE TAX

Thomas s. Alexander, a well known
business man OF Portland, arrived in
this city Friday to make arrangements
for a speech to be made ny Charles II.
Shields, secretary of the Oregon Equal
Tax League, here Friday evening,
September l3, at the Commercial club.
Mr. Shields is engaged in an educa-
tional campaign against single tax,
and he proposes to style his lecture,
"Single Tax Exposed.
MIR. Alexander declares that, judg-
ing by conditions here, there will be a
tremendous attendance at the meeting,
as there will be no charge made for
admission and ladies will be specially
invited.
Discussing the issue of single tax,
Mr.. Alexander said:
1.-The Oregon Equal Taxation League
is an organization composed of 20, 900
Oregon farmers and business men. Its
sole purpose is to warn the people of
the state of Oregon just what single
tax is and what it will do.
81 think haveebeen in'every civil
ized country in the world and a great
number of the uncivilzed, and the only
places | found single tax in successful
operation were among the Hottentots
and the aboriginal natives of South
America.
"Much to the disgust of Joseph Fels,
who is financing the single tax cam
paign in Oregon, a number of the Fels
paid writer's and workers have been
attempting to delude the people of
Oregon into the belief that the meas
ure they styled Graduated Single Tax
and which will be voted upon in the
November election, is not single tax.
OF course it is, and if | need any fur
ther authority. | will simply say that
Mr.. u Rem, himself, in a letter TO the
0regonan says that this measure is a
Hat-footed single tax measure.
'Singe tax proposes to tax the land
owner, the home owner and lot owner
out of existence 1t is a single tax.
By that | mean that it proposes to
abolish taxation on all other forms OF
property and center it solely on the
land Why, it is so revolutionary tha'
even the Socialists on the streets 0
! Portland get up and absolutely disavop
the single tax propaganda.
81 do not think there is the slightest
chance that the measure will pass II
Oregon, but the Oregon Equal Taxa
tion League believes in letting every
voter know just what this measure is
and what it proposes to do.
at is also supporting the three capi-
tai good taxation measures of Cover
nor West and the state tax commits
sion, the numbers of which are 304,
BOG and 30S number 30S being specific
aly against single tax. ] trust that
ali those who are in any way curious
about this, the most important political
question that has ever come up in Ore
gon, will attend Mr.. Shields ltctme.
and | am quite confident in saying that
be will be found to be a master on his
subject. He is one Of the best known
economists in the west and is an inter
esting and entertaining speaker.

The Digger and The Ben


The digger lay painfully sWaylng,
His tail in the dusty road,
As he told this remarkable story,
To crow and listening toad.
81 have lived in these regions for
ages,
Haven't counted the years as they
run,
But my father who lived before me,
Knew we'll Methuselah's S son.
"Long baaied the wild red warrior,
Who oft my kindred slew,
With his bow and his stone tipped
arrow,
Ere kenw of the pale faced crew.
"But they came, and were spelling
our forests,
And grubbing our hazels to boot,
And soon they were plowing our holes
up,
And planting to grain and to fruit.
"But circled about their small clear
ings,
And dug up the sprouting grain,
And when they came seeking to slay
me,
| scud to my hole again.
"Aud laughed as thought of their
folly,
And / said | shall never die,
But alas, for that fatal apple I"
And he heavsd dsconsolate sigh.
Go on" said the toad who was lis
tening,
And the crow who was noting it
down,
Gave a low half audible chnckle,
AS tho he was just catching on.
II had heard that this wonderful
creature,
Who is spelling the land for my kin,
Had the finest of fruits for his table,
And | said will just take them in.
$50 | climbed up a tree in the orchard,
Cast about to see no one was nigh,
Then turned to inspect the great ap
Piles.
That grew in profuslon near by.
"And selecting fruit of the finest.
Sunk my teeth in its leathery hide. "
Here he rolled over kicked once and
shuddered,
He had eaten the Ben Davis and died.
The toad for a time sat in silence,
AS it pondered the story just told,
Then caught the green fly that came
buzzing,
And wondering hoped off to its hole.
Said the crow as he viewed his late
client.
Let US hope it is all for the best. "
And winding his talons around MN,
Flew cawing away to Its nest.

FRUIT PROSPECTS
POOR IN EUROPE

We have received from the British
fosa;on ofF;ce through the high com.
missioner for Canaaa The results Of
consular inquiries as 10 the prospects
of the fruit crop IN several Europear
Countries In France there is generally
. great shortage in every kind OF fruit

and the price will probably be about
one-third higher than last year. Fruit
prospects in Belgium are very meager
ii appears likely that the Belgian fruit
crop this year will be unsatisfactory
and the fruit poor in quality ana re-
stricted in quantity. The fruit crop
in Holland IS generally satisfactory

affected by night fros is at the time of
blossoming. Peaches under glass are
moderate on the whole: those 10 the
omen air are reported to be bad with
the exception Of the well known dis
trict of Westland, Where the condition
is from good to very good. 1t is prob
able that in Germany the crop Of al.
most evrey kind Of fruit will be small
this wear and considerably worse than
IN 1911. In the Berlin district it is ex-
pected that there will be a medium
crop of apples and pears, a fairly
small crop Of stone fruit, bad crop of
all varieties of berries and a small
crop of nuts. Considerable dissausfsc-
tion existed amongst fruit growers
with the prices obtained in 1871, and
this wear attempts are being made to
fix a minimum price below which the
growers will not sell. In Norway re-
ports of the probable harvest of apples
are somewhat discouraging, and the
same applies more or less to pears.
For cherries, plums and bush fruits,
the prospects are considerably better.
The Hungarian agricultural depart.
ment reports June 29) that for Hun
gary plums and pears show the best
promise. Spring frost injured other
fruit trees and only an insignificant
yield of peaches is looked for. Nuts
also promise only q poor yield.-Cen-
