OREGON OITY, NOV. 8, 1901.
DEMOCRACY IN SEW ZEALAND.
Has New Zealand shot its labt bolt?
Is its armory empty and its energy
spent? asks Henry Den.orust Lloyd, the
author of a book o:i this "Newest Eng
land." No, he answer. . If we can
trust the recent complete victory of the
progressive party in the election of 1899,
the temper of the people as shown in
conversation and the outspoken utter
ances of their statesmen. Here are
some of the definite ontspoken meas
ures which have been publicly favored
by leaders now active in New Zealand
affairs :
Btato fire insurance. Further demo
cratization by the zone system of rates.
Nationalization of the steampship lines.
Nationalization of the coal mines. Com
plete nationalization of the land. As
sumption by the government of the busi
ness of mining and selling coal. In
crease of (he land and income-taxes for
the further equalization of rich and
poor. Removal of tariff taxation on the
necessaries of life. Establishment ot
government offices where "cheap law"
can be served out to the people. Regu
lation of rents for the protection oj ten
ants from political pressure by land
lords. Extension ol the purchase and
subdivision of'llie large estates so that
all the people may have land. State
banking to give the people the . owner
ship and administration of the machin
ery of commercial and financial credit,
doing for the business class what
the stale with its advances to settlers
does for the farmers, tradesmen and
workingmen. The nationalization of
the news eeryicj.
Piwi'Kbsoii Von WaUorahausen, of the
University of Strassburg, takes a pessi
mistic view of Germany's future. The
United States, he says, now holds the
leading place as an exporting country.
As compared with the Gorman empire,
she has gained 80 per cent in exports in
fiva years, while Uermauy has gained
only 50 per cent. This gain, he pre
dict will continue to increase. Ger
many, ho thinks, will begin to run in
debt fr Auuricnn goods, and then she
will begin to decline. The results of
eurh indebtedness "will show them
selves in (1) loss ability to Btand taxa
tion ; t2) growth of unpioductive in
dubtediicss; (o) l. ssil!y the necessity
of resorting to a paper currency ; (4) the
emigration of manufacturers anil skilled
operatives; (5) the tiansplanting of our
factories to foreign countries; (G) want
of employment ior lnuor ; (7) stagnation
ot social rt'furm ; (8) finally, weakness of
the military strength." Yet he has no
better remedy to suggest than that
all European countries should beware of
treaties of reciprocity with the United
States.
At the convention of the Ohio Bank
em' Association in Cleveland, its presi
dent, ,1 . C. Relier, made this startling
statement in hU annual report: "The
gicatest menace is the Wall Btreet
market. True, it has been legalized,
ami the uamblord say it is no one's busi
t:o?s i( wo choose to los our money this
way, l ut when they produce a panic
and involve the entire country, we have
a right to object, for they at once appeal
to the United States treasury for aid.
lias not the stool trust the same riw'ht lo
ask (t if it should become embitrassed as
have these bulls and bears on the street? 1
We have a money trust in New
Yoik. Ibis is not a fancy for it exists.
It is so powerful that it Qhecked a panic
in Wall btreet a few weeks pgo, and
thus showed its power. It always backs
Wall street, and is dangerous. The
banks of New York cannot control the
stock market. We object to them
throwing tho burden of a panic on us by
suspending payment while they have
millions of uir money in their vaults."
It is the settled conviction of many
people that it' the ealojn were once
eliminated from focicty wolwould be
fairly launched on the road to the millen
itiin. Thoy cherish this opinion be
cause they do not take Into consideration
home certain facts,tho weaknesses of hu
man nature, for instance. Multitudes
have a mania lor drugs. Governor
Kogers, ol Washington, a professional
druggist, eaid in a veto message: "The
contents of the drugstore are perhaps
1 : . .i
more dangerous to the future well-being
of the race than those of the"; saloon.
'Dope fiends' are thus created by thous
ands. Morphine powders administered
to parents bring forth their natural fruit
even to the third and fourth generation
of descendants. Thus a great evil
threatens us; drugyists and physicians
know its source and lan.ent the ever in
creasing demand for narcotics and intoxi
cants. The wise among them do not
themselves partake."
Tee empire of Austria contemplates
building lour canals which will open up
ward of 1054 -miles of navigable water
ways, and it is estimate! the cost will
be about 1152,000,000. . The money is
to be provided by the eo-operation of
the provinces, districts and cities that
are to be mainly benefited by the im
provement. The work of construction is
to begin not later than 1904, and is to
be so calculated that the nhole system
will be completed within twenty years.
This plan might be profitably followed
in this country in the building of reser
voirs and great ditches for irrigating the
desert regions, or in the construction of
people's railways .
Years ago, a lawyer, at one time of
great prominence in the legal profession
in this state, who remained a bachelor
until late in lift, saiil in his slow,drawl
iugway: "Well, if I had the power, I
would make a young man get married
before he was 25 years old, and if he
wasn't married at 25 I would kill him."
There is full as much sound sense in this
'opinion as in that of the Cornell profes
sor, H. H. Powers, who said : "Kill off
the teeble minded and those who are a
burden to the rest of society hb you
would kill off so many rattlesnakes, not
becauee we hate them, but because they
are troublesome to have around."
Associate Justice Brewer, of the
United States supreme court, has at
once the position and the personal repu
tation to command a hearing for these
vigorous and uncommon assertions from
his speech at the Yale bicentenary:
IN the semi-annual statement of the financial condition of
Clackamas county, its indebtedness, less the $5,544 cash in the
hands of the treasurer, is given as $151,575. But the $20,397
of delinquent taxes is also subtracted from it, thus seemingly
reducing (but on paper only) the amount of indebtedness to
$131,208. Any business man knows that such a procedure is
mere juggling with figures. He does not know what, as a whole,
his book accounts are worth until he has collected them. Sheriff
Cooke obtained only a little over $4000 Irom about $12,000 of
"old junk" tax liens. But it is not unreasonable nor even unfair
to our county administrators to figure a little the other way. On
May 1st, 1902, about $28,000 of state and scalp taxes will be due
to the state; therefore, this county now Oives the state $14,000.
The Canby bridge, it is estimated, will cost obout $15,000, Add
$14,000 and $15,000 and we have $29,000. Adding this sum to
$15 1,575, gives $180,575 as the debt of Clackamas county
nearly $200,000.
"You cannot stay this moveroant toward
consolidation and centralization. It is
a natural evolution. Injunctions against
Btrikers will not stop it. Legislation
against trusts n' ill not. Attempting to
stay the movement of its chariot wheels
by injunction or statute is lunacy."
Tiikrb is a life insurance company in
this country that issues policies only to
total abstainers, and its claim is that
its death rate is 26 per cent lower than
that of the companies that take "all
sorls and conditions of men." Many of
the large British life companies have
long made differential rates between
drinkers and teetotalers, and the reiords
kept of their respective death-rates Beem
to justify the conclusion that the teeto
talers are the superior risks by about 20
to 25 , er cent.
C. C. OtcoitQESoN, an expertof the ag
ricultural department, who has investi
gated the agricultural possibilities of
Alaska, estimates that at bast 100,
000 acres o( its area are suited for farm
ing; but the cost of transportation to
the territory is so high, and the labor
required t put the laud into a condition
fit for cultivation so great, that it is im
possible for any one with small means
to establish a farm in Alaska.
Fkkk trade, to be sure. The Ore
gonian ol October 21st thus ends an ar
ticle on the Hubjoet, "Whither Compe
tition Leads :"" The commercial mil
lenium will be the time when products,
ag wen aa capital and money, are in
state of perfect fluidity, and now hither
and thither, as need or abundance moves
them, as freely as tho tides in the great
ocean ebb and ti-jw responsive to the
sun and moon."
Hundreds of vessels are lying idle In
New York harbor, unable to get car
goes ; ocan freight rates are from 40 to
75 per cent lower than they were a year
ago; it is almost as aheap to send a large
lot of grain from this side of the Atlantic
to the other as it is to send it from one
bank of the East river to the other.
In the month of September 1,904
children perished in the Boer concentra
tion camps in South Africa. Tho total
population of these camps is given at
109,418, and the total dentht are averag
iug about 240 a month, or 28,830 per
year. In less than four years at this ap
palling rate they will all be camps of the
dead onlv.
Thrms British soldiers in South Af
rica who reented being called by their
brigadier "white-livered curs" were sen
teuced to death for mutinous conduct.
Kitchener commuted the sentence to 12
years' penal servitude, and the war of
fice now orders' theif release.
Not long ago a New York judge, com
menting upon the social conditions ex
isting in New York and Brooklyn.stated
that to the majority of the population
the rearing of two children meant "in
evitably a bey for the penitentiary and a
girl for the brothel."
Father McGbady, a Catholic priest of
Bellevue, Ky is a radical socialist.
Archbishop Corrigan, of New York,
puts anarchists and socialists in the
same category, and the Kentucky priest
has openly challenged his grace to a de
hate in New York city.
Is a lecture at Paris, Prof. Caesar
Lorubroio, theeminent Italian crimnolo
gtst, stated that President Roosevelt is
descended from a Franco German He
brew family called Rosenfeldt, members
of which emigrated to Holland, where
the name took the present form.
General MacAi.thur says that "no
white man can do physical labor in the
Philippine islands," and the Kansas
City Journal suggests that the general is
trying to encourage Americans to go
over there in order to find leisure.
The 80,000 people out of work in the
city of Berlin will cause a great increase
of socialists in the empire. Well, the
steel trust is nurturing socialism among
its workmen who struck and lost yet
won for the future .
Tub labor unions of Sweden, Norway
and Denmark, in convention assembled
at Copenhagen, have declared for social

wide, and the time will come when even
J. P. Morgan will hear of it.

Tab Standard Oil Company has in

will sustain every other part. Yet, how
