OREGON ADOPTS AN OBJECT
LESSON

Oregon rejected on November Z the
Land and Loan Amendment to apply
the complete Singletax. But the VoI-
ers were sufficiently impressed by ar
guments with a Single tax tendency TO
approve a measure for exemption oil
ships from taxation. And before this
measure has gone into operation, 1t
has begun to create in the State Of
Washington a sentiment in favor Of
following suit Even so bitter an op-
ponent of the Singletax as the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer is compelled to
state in its issue of November ~:
AS Washington shipping sul mas
to bear its burden Of taxation, 1t IS
pointed out that the Oregon eXemp-
tion may serve to divert the owner
ship of vessels from this State to that
a contingency altogether likely, un-
less we have parallel legislation.
Under the present abnormal condl-
tiOns of excessive high ocean freights
so high, indeed, that one or two VOy-
ages may earn the full value Of a
ship, the question of the handicap of
taxation is not of large importance,
but it will be come such when the
war ends and freight rates are ad-
justed to the conditions which will
then return. 1t is a simple matter,
under our shipping laws, to shift the
registration, or license and enroll
ment; of ships from one port to an
other. If ships registered in this
State are heavily taxed, while ships
registered in the port of Portland go
free of taxation, the result is newt
able. Whatever may be thought of
the economic policy of relieving ships
from taxation, the fact remains that,
when Oregon has done so, self de-
fense requires that this State shall do
the same. If our vessels are not eX-
empt from taxation by law the owner
ship of the large Share of. them may
be transferred to Oregon and we will
have neither the ships nor the taxes
from them.
Had Oregon adopted the complete
Singletax, ships would not now be the
only form of wealth likely to move
from other States thither. And the

Coming from a Republican who
was on the inside, tends to show what
a hot bed of politics the joke board
seems to have been. Fleming THINKS
the sad failure of the jokes caused
the downfall of Willis.
Fleming's statements add fuel TO
the possible action of the new Attof-
ney General to compel the jokes 10
make good the Illegal state lalr

so be used as basis for a legislative
investigation.
VIM. Kinnan, Republican, was
elected to take Flemings place with
the Joke board. In less than a year
Kinnan got disgusted with the jokes
and quit.
S. G. Mcclure, editor of the

paper, hit the nail on the head by
telling Willis to fire the jokes and |

BIG HOTEL MANAGER
Says Things Which Should Interest
Ohio Hotel Men

Ohio hotel men, who went on rec
ord in their Columbus convention a
couple of weeks ago against state
wide prohibition and in favor of Ii
cense, will do well to communicate
with Irwin B. Allen, manager of the
Shirley Hotel, Denver. Allen run a
bar in connection with his hotel and
was afraid Prohibition would ruin
his business. Now Mr.. Allen says:
Il have run bar in the Shirley
hotel for many years. 1t used to
turn us in an annual net profit of
around $4,000. Our business since
Prohibition went into effect January
l, has more than made up for this
loss.
"The readjustment became notice
able along about June. Our June,
July and August returns from our
dining room and rooms were greater
than our returns in any previous year
with the bar included. Our net pro-
fits in August and September were
better than our net profits in any
August or September before. Since
then they have continued to grow.
II noticed that since Prohibition
went into effect we have many visit
ors from neighboring towns of Colo
rado, men bringing their families for
a holiday. Since they have stopped
spending their money for liquor many
men are now able to give their fam
lies these outings and it has proved
a good thing. American Issue.

The year closes with the nations
of the earth discussing the faint hope
that an end may soon come to the
terrible slaughter of the war in Eu-
rope. There is a larger hope of ear
ly peace now than al any time since
the beginning of the conflict. And
all this discussion centers about the
recent suggestion of one man. an
American, the most influential indi-
yidual i'm the world, the president of
the United States.
Whether peace comes or war con
tinues for many months, President
Wilson has for the moment turned
the thoughts of millions to the chan
nels of peace. That is an achieve

tifying to the esteem in which this

age friendIiness among the republics

than ever before the sincerity of our
own prOtestations that we covet no
loot of their territory or one iota of
their sovereignty
Whatever the near future may
have I'm store for the United States, at
home or in its international relations,
the present year has furnished OPP
