KEEPS "BoBBING UP"

I measures reveal that the single
tax sentiment in Oregon has
reached u lower ebb than ever
before, says the oregonian.
Measures leading up to single
tax or imposing single tax IN
modified form or imposing it IN
4 conjunction with some other
form of legislation have been
six in number. and in addition
thereto the people have voted
| on and adopted an amendment
repeating one measure leading
up to a single tax which had
been sneaked over under an anti
poll-tax disguise.
In 1908 a modified form of
single tax received the affirma-
tive votes of 81 per cent OF those
voting on the measure.
In 1910 a county tax option
amendment, disguised as an
anti-poll-tax measure, received
the affirmative votes of 81 per
cent.
On repeal of county tax option
in 1914 the single-tax element
polled ~ per cent of the voters
participating.
In the same year single tax
with a graduated jug handle was
defeated, the affirmative votes
being % per cent of the total
registered on the amendment.
In 1914 a $500 exemption
measure polled in affirmative
votes 32 per cent Of the total.
In the same year another
graduated single-tax measure
received in affirmative votes 81
per cent of the total.
In 1916 single tax was COM
bined for popularity purposes
with a form of rural credit, but
the affirmative votes were not
quite % per cent of the total
whereas, another and genuine
rural credit amendment was car.
ried handsomely.
For eight years the single-taS
propagandists have pestereo
Oregon with their doctrine. They
have presented it in modified
form; they have presented it In
as complete form as is possible
under state law; they have
: baited it: they have sugar-coatec
it; they have disguised it. lr
one year they had practically
unlimited financial support from

Single tax was put on the bal
lot in 1916 by the forgery o1
more than 1000 names in Multi.
nomah county alone. Two years
hence to get on the ballot ap'
proximately 1880 signatures
will be required, or a number
representing nearly one-half Of
the single-tax vote in the entire
state. 1t is apparent that by nc
honest method can 1880 out Of
10000 voters scattered through.

reached. Yet the intention n

We think it is time to scotch
the snake. Work in advance OF
filing day on the part of those
organizations which have SO far
contented themselves with oppo-
sition after the petitions have
been accepted should two years
hence bring the propaganda to
a sudden halt.
Already a protest has gone up
from the single-taxers' Portland
newspaper organ against adop-
ton by the legislature of any
laws to prevent petition frauds.

Splendid Laxative
for Elderly PEOPLE
Has Been Prescribed by Well
Known Physician for
Many Years.

The infirmities Of age are especial
ly manifest in a tendency to consti-
patton, and call for treatment that
will afford relief in an easy, natural
manner. The rapid action Of cathar-
tic remedies and purgatiyes that
shock the system should be avoided,
more especially as the relief they of
fer is only temporary and is usually
more than offset by disturbance to
the vital organs caused by their vio-
lent action.
Nearly thirty years ago DR.. w. B.
Caldwell, Monticello Ill, prescribed
q compound of simple laxative herbs
that has since become the standard
household remedy in thousands of
homes. It acts easily and gently, yet
with positive effect, without gripping
or other pain or discomfort. Mrs.
Rachel Allen, Galesburg, Kans, is
seventy-one years old, and after us
