The day book., 1916-09-19

BY WILLIAM S. U'REN
Of Portland, Ore, Father of Initiative
and Referendum and One of Lead
ing ProgressiVes of America
How would Oregon's adoption of
the Peoples Land and Loan Law, by
taking all land rental values (sep-
arate from building and other i'm
proVements rents) for state and
local public taxes, affect the men and
women who work? What would be
the effect on production? How
would it affect mortgages and loans?
In answering these questions we
must bear in mind always that all
taxes are paid by products of labor,
and therefore only the people who
work pay taxes. Many people get
tax receipts who do not work, but
they have some special privilege,
granted by law, which enables them
to get for their own use the product
of other mems labor.
The usual share rent for farms is
one-fourth to one-haIf of the crop.
The average is not less than one
third of the total crop, which means
that every worker must pay to land
lords of various kinds at least as
much as 100 days work, or one-third
of what the average farmer pro-
duces in a year. At least that much
in value is taken by the different
landlords, as whole, from the gross
product of all the men who work.
For public revenue the average
family gives at least one-eighth of
it's working time for state and local
taxes. Including Ghe landlords pri-
vate land rent tax of 100 days, and
the public state and local tax Of 81 |
days labor, the average family must |
labor nearly half it's working time to |
pay private and public taxes.
The full rental value land tax pro-
posed by this law will save every
family the entire amount now paid |
for state and local taxes, which is |
The day book., 1916-09-19

about double the state and local rev.
enUe, of which every family will get
it's share in more and better schools,
roads and other public service. In
addition to that, and far more impor-
tant, there will always be employ
ment.
It is plain that the effect of this in
crease will be felt by all useful labor,
and especially by those having the
smaller incomes. lLaboTeTS, clerks,
farmers, retail merchants, renters,
mechanics and all those who now get
about $3.50 a year or less, will find
their income increase to be at least
a thousand dollars for the years
work when this law is in force.
But of greater value to the COM
munity at large than the increased
production will be the certainty of
employment and the independence
and freedom that comes to every
man with the knowledge that en-
pIoyment is always waiting for him,
and that he may quit his job as a
hired man at any time to work for
himself on his own land.
AS to mortgages on improved prop
erty, they seldom exceed the value of
the improvements. Therefore, the
lenders security will be as good as
it is now. In the case of loans on va
cant land the lender is a sort of part
ner with the specializing owner and
must take his chance with him.
This law will add industrial free
dom to the political liberty Ameri=~
cans now have. The good effects of
such freedom cannot be oVer-esti-
mated. Every man will then have
something better than a boarding
house or a rented farm to fight for.
1t will take from every hired man the
heart-breaking fear of losing his job.
The Peoples Land and Loan Law
will make Oregon a state of free men,,
instead of a state of hirelings and
renters who depend altogether on the

ANOTHER NORMAL SCHOOL.

The normal school agitation is
again coming before the people. The
state of Oregon has only one normal
school at the present time. This is
at Monmouth. The buildings are
crowded to their capacity the year
round. Summer school students to
the number of $50 are enrolled this
year and many of them are being
forced to make use of tents, there
being no other Accommodations. An
other school is badly needed to re-
lieve this congested condition.
OF course there are several Eastern
Oregon towns who would like TO
have the normal school. Heppner
probably wouldn't refuse it. In fact,
we would be working to locate it here
were there and possible chance OF
getting it. Pendleton is making a
strong bid for the school and we
might say that Pendleton is ideally
located for such an institution. But
we favor Weston. Weston was the
former seat of the Eastern Oregon
Normal school. The buildings are
still there and the old Weston spirit
is still there. We believe, that II the
people of Oregon should decide to add
another Normal school, Weston
should be given the first considera-
ton.

GIVING YOUR BEST.

There are loyal hearts, there are
spirits brave,
There are souls that are pure
and true;
Then give to the world the best you
have,
And the best will come back to
you.
Give love, and love to your life will
flow,
A strength in your utmost need;
Have faith and score of hearts will
show
Their faith in your word and
deed.
Give truth, and your gift will be paid
in kind,
And honor will honor meet;
And smile that is sweet will surely
find
A smile that is just as sweet.
For life is the mirror of king and
slave,
'Tis Just what we are and do:
Then give to the world the best you
have,
And the best will come back TO
you. Madeline S. Briggs.

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

Minneapolis Journal--It is history
that the Democrat position on the
tariff has always worked harm to
American labor. The St Louis plat
form takes a curious Democratic flop
from the ancient position of the party
ON the tariff position. 1t "unreser-
vedly" indorses the Underwood tariff
(Which has produced nothing but a
treasury deficit, and made it neces-
sary for the people to pay taxes,
though the country is at peace); re-
affirms the Democratic belief that
only such tariff should be levied as
will support the government, t,economl-
cally administered; and then fops to
the position as it Topped to prepar-
edness, at the demand of expediency--
that tariff rates ought to be subject
to the change of changing economic
conditions.
Four years ago the tariff plank of
the Democratic platform had nothing
to say about changing the tariff to
meet any sort of changed conditions.
1t demanded a tariff that would re-
duce the high cost of living and
promised to fill the market basket
for less money. The administration
has utterly failed to lower the cost Of
living, but it has however lowered the
government revenues. So the party
reaffirms its belief in the Underwood
tariff. because it had to and flops to
an elastic tariff in the hope of bet
tering its position with the electorate.
The platform declaration about
Mexico is flabby as the administra-
tion's policy has been. The declara-
tion to the effect that Intervention
would be the equivalent of subjuga-
tion is about as cheap political clap
tap as could be employed to excuse
the laundering at Vera Cruz and
Tampico and the fiasco of man hunt
ing in Northern Mexico. The two
chairmen of the st. Louis convention
did better than this. when one said
nothing at all about Mexico and the
other one sentence. On the same
theory we would still be in Cuba.
The declaration for an internation-
al league of peace must have been
thrown in as sop to the Bryan pa
cifists. 1t is just as harmless as Mr..
Bryans army Of million men before
sunset, and just as practical. Much
party credit is taken by the platform
for the Federal Reserve Bank, the
whole idea of which was Republic
can origin.

STORMS WE'RE A BENEFIT.

Gross exaggerations appearing re-
Gently in the Portland Oregonian con-
cerning the recent storm in this
country are to be regretted by our
citizens.
In the first place, the storm did far
more good than anything that has
happened here for many months.
Spring grain, much of which is just
now in the boot, will be helped i'm
measurably. As far as reports in
form us, none of the grain was dam
ager seriously.
And now people over the north
west are having that former idea
strengthened Heppner and
Morrow county is a place unfit to
dwell in, unsafe to say the least.
We should look to it that more OF
the good things we have here are
dwelt upon with more emphasis. The
least we can do when we have a Sc
we're storm is to confine ourselves to
the facts when we tell the outside
world about it.
