NEFARIoUs MEASURES.

For some months the Oregon Journal
published in Portland by c. s. jackson
of single tax leanings, has been, day
in and day out, by direct statement
and by inuendo, accusing the country
press of Oregon of graft because they
have dared oppose measure, initiated
by Mr.. Jackson's money and placed on
the ballot of the November 5 election,
for prohibiting the publication Of deIin
quent taxes. Naturally, the country pa
pers were ,incensed- at the Journal s
treacherous charges, and in their re-
sentiment told their readers of some un-
pleasant truths concerning that Port
land paper of hermaphroditic tenden-
cies. Now comes the Journal with its
usual whines and says the country
press. because it has handled c. s.
jackson a little roughly in its editorials
is using Prussian methods. It's just
like hun propaganda, whimpers the
Journal.
We are rather surprised at that last
tactic, but verify, the Journal will not
stopat anything to make an impression.
II can even sit astride the fence and
kick both legs at the same time.
The Journal says the country press
ought to use argument to bolster up
their contention of benefits for the
maintenance Of delinquent publications.
Indeed, they have shown how such a
system has been considered indispen-
sible in other states of the Union; how
the publication acts as stimulus in
spurring to tax payment the indiffer-
ent citizen, who can only be driven to
do his duty by the fear of publicity;
they have shown how the publication of
delinquent taxes is protection for
small home investors who do not re-
ceive titles to their property until GER
tain installments have been met. But
naturally the Journals vilification has
caused the country press TO turn the
light OF publicity on Sam Jackson and
his paper and the light Of publicity has
hurt, and thus the whine back.
The delinquent taxproduetion bill, in
truth. Is of minor import in this cam
Ipaign. While no voter should fail to
consider the bin on its merit, he should
also 60 bit further and note how the
daily and its owner, of single tax
leaninsss, are trying to gain prestige by
securing majority vote on bill in
itiated by that daily and its owner. The
anti-delihquent tax bill. ON its merits.
deserves to be voted down by the peo-
pie Of Oregon. But it should also be
voted down as rebuke to man who
would sow his sophistries broadcast
and expect to reap harvest of freak
isms.
