SAY MEASURE is
FULL OF JCKERS
Report Persisitant That Single
lax Idea lurks in Jackson
Bill

A few years ago the people of the
state of Oregon, in spirit of gentle
and amused tolerance, listened to the
Portland Journals campaign for single
tax. 1t was Mr.. Jackson's pet hobby,
and his official mouthpiece shouted
long and loudly. When the votes were
counted, however, the people breathed
a sigh of relief, for single tax and Ore
gon citizen ship. were found to have
nothing in common. -,.'
For time Editor jackson subsidized.
Unable to dictate the editorial policies
OF the newspapers of the state, and
stung to the quick at the decisive de-
feat of his pet scheme, he maintained
an attitude of calm demeanor.
Now Mr.. Jackson steps up to bat
again, fostering and fathering a new
plan of unfathomable and inexplicable
legislation. In on the scheme with
jackson is, a Portland attorney. and
the two have devised a plan that Is
unique to say the least. Just the in.
terest Of the lawyer has not been 'di-
vulged. The proposed law bears the
Jackson trademark, and those who
Save familiarized themselves with the
measure, state It is as full of "jokers"
as some Of Mr.. Jackson's single tax
measures in the days of old. '''
Jackson's scheme is to abolish the
delinquent tax list as It now stands
and substitute In its place an impracti.
cal, ETHEREAL scheme. cleverly framed
70 lure the voters, but intended as a
piece Of radical and vicious legislation
that will benefit the lawyers, the title
grabbers, and others OF their ilk,-a
the expense Of the struggling home
and land owner. Such is the Jackson
. delinquent tax bill. There are these
who intimate that Jacksons energy IN
working for the bill is due to the fact
THAT his Portland Journal has been
overlooked in the publication of Multi
nomah lists in days gone by, and that
; his spleen against the present statute
, is inspired through petty jealousy in
the Portland newspaper field. This
may or may not be the case.
The present tax publication law for
Oregon is the ideal measure If public
service may be considered the criter
Ion. 1t is simple, practical and de
vised to protect the taxpayer from the
title grabbers and other vultures
Briefly 1t provides that notice be sent
by the tax collector, THROUGH THE
NAIL to every delinquent taxpaye,
within 80 days from date OF delin
> duency. Then, and only then, to reach
those whom the mails have failed &c
n reach. the law provides that publica
u tion shall be made in the newspapers
4 Could any plan be fairer- Coult
there be any better scheme to protec
the unfortunate delinquent from tn,
y malicious cunning OF the tax title grab
j., ,ber-who loves to work in the dark.

Before the Quistconck had fully slid

at Hog Island were laying a new keel.
In full view of the President and Mrs

enormous steel plates from a huge crane
IN the same way on which the initial

cracking and crashing sound that was
equaled only by the shouts of the spec

One by one the plates were slid into

the plates rather than standing at at.

Mr.. Piez called the meeting to order

The fixing of a uniform wage scale for
shipyards in Seattle. Wash. Portland.

of the most important problems to be
considered. 1t appears Seattle has cor

thereby the shipbuiding program in

The final decision on the part of the
L. 5 S B. T. F. c. to order the con-
struction of this plant was reached fewer
than eleven months ago, and the con-
tract was not signed until September l3,
1917. Hog Island was then barren
