students reach the age of 81, they
may. at the discretion of their in
structors, be sent to an intensive Of

diately in the naval reserves with the
intention of going to school. This is
provided the men are certain that

TO EXTEND WORK
OR FIGHT" ORDER
CROWDER EXPECTED TO ISSUE
NEW REGULATIONS IN A
FEW WEEKS.

Radical extension of the govern
ments work-or-fight order is being
planned by Maj. Gen. E. H. Crowder,
provost marshal general of the army.
who has charge of the draft ma
chinery, Washington dispatches say.
1t is expected that additions to the
classes of men who must give up their
present occupations to engage In
something that has q direct bearing
on winning the war will be an
nounced within the next few weeks.
According to one of the highest
officers on General Crowder's staff
here are sNne of the men who most
likely will be ordered TO get into an
essential occupation or be drafted
into the military forces of the United
States:
Ambulance chasing lawyers.
Public and private chauffeurs.
BARRIERS.
Movie actors and chorus men.
All circus employees and attendants.
The revelation that serious consid-
GRAFTON is being given to inclusion of
young lawyers in the work-or-fight
order occasioned considerable sur
praise. 1t was stated, however. that
scores of letters have been received
! from all over the United States sug-
costing that there are thousands of
young men with virtually no legal
practices, who could be spending
their time to much better advantage
in munitions factory or shipyard
than they are now with their feet
cooked up on a desk.
The provost marshal general is
we'll pleased with, the support he re-
ceived throughout the country on the
! first work-or-fight order. He be-
lieves that it was generally satisfac-
exemption of chauffeurs, public and
private, from the provisions of the
order has caused more dissatisfac-
ton than any other feature of it.
That the criticisms are well
grounded is generally recognized
among the officers of Gen. Crowders'
staff. They admit that there is little
| justification in the contention that a
'crabber" who sits for six or eight
hours a day in front of fashionable
hotel with a For Hire" sign hung
/ on the windshield of his touring car
is engaged in an essential industry,
while the man who waters the lawn
of his employer, cleans off the walks
and makes himself generally useful

any efforts made to carry our that
recommendation.
On the 18th of September, 1852,
Messrs. J. w. Wiley and Thornton
F. McElroy issued at Olympia the
frst number of the first newspap
printed north of the Columbia river.
1t was called the columbian and
devoted to the interests of Oregon
in general and the territory north of
the Columbia in particular" True
to that primary object this press
spoke out earnestly and effectually
and was valuable co-adjutor in the
reconstruction so much desired.
Major II. A. Golsborough, under
the classic nom deplume of Ellis"
the ancient synonym for our more
euphonious Olympia" on the 25th
of September, 1852, through the col
umnS of that paper, re-opened the
agitation in an address to the resi-
dents of Northern Oregon. in which
he details our grievances and gives,
as only he could give, graphic pen
and-ink picture of the then situation.
The Territory of Columbia was
now the shibboleth of all parties.
The COLUMBIAN" manfully battled
in advocacy of the measure.
A large number of citizens in at
tendance at the October 1S52) term
of court at Jackson's, held a preli-
minary meeting October 26th and
27th. Major Go!dsborough called
the meeting to order and Hon. F. A.
Chenoweth of Clarke county was
elected as president. Quincy Adams
Brooks. Esq, (now the Oregon Post
al Agent but who in his new relation
seems to have forgotten his then in
terest in the wants of the people of
Northrn Oregon) was the chairman
of the committee on resolutions.
Major Goldsborough and John Il.
Jackson, Esq, were his colleagues.
That committee reported the fol-
lowing resolutions:
Resolved, That every precinct and
settlement in Northern Oregon be
requested to send delegates to gen.
eral convention to be held at Olympia
on the 25th of November, 1852, to
memorialize congress for an early
division of the territory so that the
Columbia river may be the southern
and eastern boundary of the new ter
ritory."
This meeting was ably and elo-
Quently addressed by Hons. G. N.

as restricted by this article the legis-
lative assembly shall have power OF
all property for the purpose OF taxa
tiOn." ..-' ..
Henry George Doctrine.
"In this measure said Mr.. Doyle,
1--WE have the simon pure tax doctrine
of Henry George, the doctrine that no
class of property should be taxed eX-
cept land Now the gentlemen who
are trying to secure the enactment OF
this legislation have it sugar-coated
for the people by telling them that ita
purpose is to exempt from improve
ments, but no man can read the pro
posed amendment in House Bill a.,
or the proposed amendment which Is
before the people at this time, and ar.
rive at any such conclusion. In or
der to understand the purpose Of this
measure we will have to go back q
little and study it's meaning. Henry
George was the father of the single
tax doctrine His theory was that all
takes should be raised from the land;
that the land was the source Of all
wealth, and, consequently, should be
the only class Of property taxed. But
there is a DEEPER meaning even than
/ appears from this statement. The
real meaning of this proposed amend
ment is that if land pays all the taxes,
the taxes will become so high as to
be confiscatory, with the result that the
land will be taken over by the state
getting once more to the socialist
doctrine that no individual has any
right to own land.
They tell you this is aimed at the
specuator; that the farmers of North
Dakota improve the land and the spec
! ulator gets the benefit Of the local i'm
provements and consequently the
farmers should pay no taxes on the
improvements. This argument sounds
quite plausible insofar as it goes, but
what about all classes Of property
other than farm land? What possible
| injustice can be done by taxing all
property wherever found? Why
should the man with 100000 invested
in farm mortgages pay no taxx, while
the farmer who is trying to pay off
the mortgage also pay all the tax?
1t seems to me that even from selfish
motives the last class of people on
earth who should be in favor OF
I single tax is the farming class.
Must Raise Tax.
"The purpose Of taxation is to raise
money to run the government. II we
eliminate personal property from taxa
ton we must correspondingly raise
the levy on real property, as the mon
ey must come from somewhere. But
for any man to claim that in order to
retach the small percentage of land
which is owned in this state by out
side spectators it is necessary to
eliminate personal property from tax
alton. seems to be too stupid for seri-
GUS discussion. Congress is now
working on several Idle Land tax
measures by means Of which to prop
erly tax speculative land holdings"

the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
railway. The burning of five bridges
on that line, one of them twice, dur
ing the past few weeks, is said to have
aroused the suspicion in railroad cir
cles that the destruction is the DELHI
crate work fmembers o ,fthe l. w.
w. or some other anti-war OrganlZa-
ton.
The bridge at Rodney, Ia. was burn
ed for the second time a few nights
ago, seriously impeding traffice until
it can be replaced or repaired. The
same bridge was set on fire in August
and other railroad bridges betw cen
Sioux City and Manila have been burn
ed during the past few weeks.
In South Dakota one railroad bridge
was burned as the result Of fire
whose origin was a mystery, this be-
ing near Watertown. In addition, there
have been number of fires in elevat-
ors. some of which were destroyed
with large quantities Of grain which
they contained. There also have been
numerous farm fires, in which barns
were destroyed.
One OF the most recent elevator
fires in South Dakota was at Alces
ter, where the elevator of T.: J. Ryan
was destroyed. There was about ST.,
900 worth of grain in the elevator a
the time, and this was destroyed, to-
gether with the building, the tota
loss reaching about $4,000.
A few nights later the $4,000 pub
lie school building at Hurley in the
Alcester territory, was destroyed by
a fire of mysterious origin.
At Plankinton an elevator, together
with large quantity Of grain, was
burned.
An attempt was made to destroy the
Mckinney elevator at Brad
ley. In this case the blaze was dis
covered near the grain pit in the in
terror of the building, and was extin-
guished before much damage had been
done. A large amount Of grain was
stored in the elevator.
In many of the cities and towns OF
the state guards have been placed in
the elevator districts at night, and in
this work of guarding the grain sup
plies of the state members O fhome
guard companies are rendering valu-
able aid. patroling the elevator dis
tricts in squads of two or three each
night.
