OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, FEB. 9 1912 OREGON CITY COURIER. Published Fridays from the Courier Building, Eighth and Main streets, and en tered in the Posloffice at Oregon City, Ore., as second class mail matter. OREGON 'CITY COURIER PUBLISHING COMPANY, PUBLISHERS M. J. BROWN, A. H. FROST, OWNERS. Subscription Price $ 1 .50. M. J. BR.OWN, "PROTECTION." Today yon can buy Massachusetts' made shoes cheaper abroad than yon can in Boston, and the shoe trnst is selling its machinery to Uermany at lina nrioes that at its American iao tory. You can bny Syracuse-made stoves cheaper in London than in Svraonse. You can bny all kinds ot implements and harvesting machinery cheaper in Canada than at the oily where made Yon can buy bread made from American wheat and the flonr shinned to England oheaper in London than in New York. And so on. These are but a few of the hundreds of illustrations of the injustice of our present protective tariff system a system that protects American truBts and foreign consam ATM. Governor Wilson says we need only tariff for revenue a tariff just to cov Br Dovernmont expenses, with the ex penses out down to where they should be. Soon a tariff would more than cover the difference between wages at home and abroad, and can anyone couoeive of any earthly or heavenly reason for having any more tariff? We have built a gteat wall around this country for many fears a wall that compelled onr people t-j buy our home made goods. And btfore the day of the trust came it was about the smoothest pros perity program evur thought out, for there was competition, rivalry and a great market which made good times. But combinations came, and now come combinations of combination pilng onr business up into fewor and greater heaps and we have a condi tion that is Bimply menacing. And the only present means of re lief is to do jnst as William J. lirvan says to do. reduce the tariff to the difference in wages and then have the government control the necessities of this oooutry and give them to the oousumers at a nominal price. And as surely as you are living, the Republican party the Taft, stand pat party will never give you this relief. You have got to break away and try othor means. Wilson and Clark promise radical tariff revision and sensible trust reg ulationand the people believe they mean it. A Democratic house is doing all it can to Rive the common people relief from high prices. And the play is to back the play. LARCENY. Roosevelt, Wilson, LaFollutte and Taft have stolen a lot of thunder and taken a lot of credit for the thlukinu William J. Bryan did many years ago. Do yon reoall when Bryan returned from his trip abroad and sprung gov ernment ownership of railroads and several other of today's demanded re forms on a public that wasn't ripe for it? And do you remember how the papers all went up in the air, yelled "agitator," "SooialiBt," "Anar chist," and so on? And today the whole bunch of them are standing for Bryan's doctrines or just as many of them us they dare stand for without confessing to grand larceny. Today rrosideut Taft Is advocating in AlaHka juBt what Bryan advocated for the old states, and today our thiukers of all parties are openly de claring that the government should not only own or control the railroads, but the coal mines, the wire corpora tions, the express companies and the big manufactories. Bryan was a dangerous man fifteen years ago, hut today is a true prophet. Here's a siguilloaut little argument for single tax one hard to blow away Seattle's city council will submit the single ax propoisttion to a vote of the people Maroh 5, the amendment ex empting from taxation all improve ments and personal uroperty. And Beatl tie is taking this step in self defense the oity is driven to it. Vanoouver, Prince Hupert, Victoria and other Canadian provinces have adopted the single tax and capital is passing up Seattle and investing in these cities. Seattle Is keenly feolllng ttiis competition aud is taking this meanB to offset the prosperiy of those boom towns by offering the same in ducements. What do you think ot this? Tlio brightest editorial page ot any newspaper that ooinoa to the Courier's exchange table is the Portlaud Jour nal's The editorials are able, inde pendent, fearless and on subjects that make poople think, aud a part of the page is given over to the public as a medium through which any man may express his ideis on any ubuject. The Journal knows what the poople want these days aud it is delivering it. Most People Think that it pays to save Those who have tried it know that it does. The differ ence between thiukiug aud knowing is the difference between failure and suc cess. Your savings, deposited in this bank, draw 3 per cent, interest and are amply protected. The Bank o f Orecon City Thi Oldest Bank inJThi County Telephones, Main 5-1; Home A 5-1 EDITOR HARD UP. The Oreironian. commenting on the steel and iron reduction bill, which the house has passed, has the splendid nerve to ask a thinking people to swallow this: The Democrats know that their bills cannot become law, tor they know that the same reasons which impelled President Taft to veto the wool and cotton bills will cause him to veto the steel bill. They most have drawn it In full expectation of a veto. Had they looked for it to pass the s-nate and receive the president's ap proral, they would have embodied far different provisions. Wouldn't that blow your hat into th Willamette for argument? Doesn't it establish a position? Doesn't it get right down to the sali ent points? Isn't it logic? Doesn't it demonstrate? The people of the United States turned over the house of representa tives that the country might get tariff reduction, and in paBsing the iron and steel bill the Domocrats did what they were pledged to do. what they Dromised to do, and what the people elected them to do And now when thev assess tne sieei trust a 85 per cent reduction, tins handy advooate of the combinations, this stand-pat organ of the Wall street hunoh asks a reading, thinking pub lic to swallow the above. BUILDING ROCKY ROADS. DiannsHinir the half million dollar appropriation for the state university at Eugene, the Woodburn Independent I as the following to-tne-poini ousur- vatious: . . 'What Dossiblo harm could have hnen doue if the people had been giv en an opportunity to expres their sen timents about that Dig appropriation 'The interests behind tne oemana for immense expenditures for new buildinirs were not willing to loave the matter to the people. They may win their fluht to movent a referen dum and winning they may get a lot of buildings nt Eugene that are defec tive as the Woodburn Armory. "But eventuallv that university is goinR to be made just as "good a school us the people of Oregon want to make it, and the people have a rignt to ue oide just how Rood a sohool of that grade they want. "More than this, the legislators and the indues who stand in the way of government b the poople are going to have a more and more rocky road to travel af the years go by." AND WE PAY. Commenting on the refusal of the Paeitiu Telephone Company to pay its tuxes in this state the Portland Jour nal says it is a blunder by those who are conducting tiie business of the Pa cific States company and is part ex planation of why there Is a constant public outcry against corporations. Aud yet the uubllo, the men aud women who ory londest against these tax-dodging corporations, are the very ones who oome op smiling, lay down the coin every month so this company may light the state which gives it ex istence. And so long as the publio will fur nish the uoin the peoplo be damned. The corportions will pay taxes when they have to. Now help them fight Oregon. OUR MORGAN "REPUBLIC Tlio New York Journal says if you got together a table of a dozen of the richest men in this couutry, you would not have a single office holder among thorn, but you would have there the government of the Uuitod States, This is a bold one, but it's literally true. Morau is president, Wall street is the cabinet and the trusts are the senate. This is no more a republio than was Mexico nuder Diaz's iron hand. It is a people ruled by politicians, the politicians tools of trusts aud finan ciers. But it's going to change. It's in the air, and mi uey and power oan't hold the change back muoh longer. The people are going to rule this couutry how roimilus to be seen. Baok iu Massachusetts, the homo of ptoetctUm, the state's army is culled out to protect scab labor iu taking the places of the 21X10 striking faotory hands, who got an average weekly wage of fit per week. "Protection to American workmen" Bounds like an April fool Bong to the workmen at Lawrence. MONEY OUR GOVERNMENT. The following bouquet is sout the Conner from " WBy buck cast, " from a former New York snbsorilier, and ia written by a man- whose pen has done uioch to teach men to think and to lead them to revolt aguinBt present conditions. Machias. N. Y Jan. 27. Friend Brown : Once more we read one of yonr ar ticles iu the Hub here, aud once more I ooncratulato vou. this time with verv much Dleasure and redoubled zpal. . We most also repeat to the citizens of Oregon Oity and vicinity that they can more than feel proud of the Cour ier's editor but can rejoice over the stand he has taken for retorm. Not because he has assumed the role of Democrat, for there yon will find ss many petritiod aud fossilized ideas as iu the Republican partv, and also you will find progressive ideas within the ranks of the Kopublican party, but its advocates are not so numerous as in the Iiemocratio party, and therefore at the present time cannot bring those ideas to a focus as readily. And God, as well as man, knows it needs to be brought about at the earliest ho.ir possible. Think of it! A Carnegie or a Rock efeller can hardly be brought on the witness stand aud made to disgoroe any evidence of worth, because their millions seem to be stronger than gov ernment. Aud when evidence against onr great trusts and combines is all sufficient to convict to Hue aud im prisonthey bring forth some tochui oality in the law, and the verdict is Bet aside indefinitely aud they escape the arm of the law for which you aud I or any ordinary citizen would have to sutler. When dollars ate placed above men it is high time fur a change, aud the people to think. When dollars can buy more cluse laws than honest men can enact for the who.e people, it is time to call a halt. It is being done. That is what progressive Democracy aud lusurgeut republicanism means, and it needs just such men as Friend Brown to assist iu this great work one who fears not to call things by their proper names and possesses the manKetio influence aud force of char acter to impress his readers with itB great need. We feel prond of the stand he has taken, aud we are sure that every progressive who at heart is honest within the range of his pen, feels likewise. This great work has taken deep root, and is moving forward, but not without hard pushing, bverythiug is being done by the great proteoted cor porations aud money interests to fos ter Harmon or Underwood upon the Democratic national convention of Baltimore June 2uth next. Taft, Al arich or Joe Cannon would answer as well. No man can be elected on the Democratic ticket except he be an out spoken Progressive ou a Progressive platform. But never the name of a Progressive is mentioned by Wall street and their allies. Ho it needs hard, continual and persistent Every man needs to impress other man of the great need of work, every being on the alert watching every move ment and report early and lute. And there is no more effectual way than to get reform papers in the hands of your friends and neighbors. We would advise every man to get the Courier into the hands of all who read with interest, for it will surely set the leaven to work, and will soon penmate the whole mass. FrieudB of Oregon and readers of the Courier, let us say that you are far enough lrom Wall street so that their interests are not yours. They are for Talt for the Kopublican nomi nation or Harmon for tne Democrats. Whichever wins will be their man. Neither are for us the people. But listen attentively to what OUK friend Brown aud YOUR editor of the Cour ier shall have to say from time to time. With respect aud thanks, we re main yours sincerely, URBAN PRESOOTT. New York made a fulsome exhibi tion of itself iu its entertainment of the Duke of Connaugat, slopping over, fawning aud flattering, aud winding up by letting him run the CougreBional Limited train out of New York. x And this duke is no nioro than you or I. He has only one head and a pair ot legs aud arms, all of which he does not use, because he doesn't have to, But he has a title aud you and I haven't that and can't get it. New York will kiss ids hands aud the nation's canitol will take a day off aud show his dukeslup around. Doesu t all this give you that quani- lsh teeliug iu the stomach? Here's a doctor who knows his on ion, and lie doesu t rare a darn about ethics, aud the professional bau aginst advertising. Here is the way he starts something : "I will pay one-half the funeral expenses of every patient that dies under my caro. " This doctor lives in Missouri, and he is going to show them that a phy sician has as much right to advertise as a merchant, aud that advertising pays. W. H. Fielder, writing te the Poit laud Journal, says the way to relieve the poor man from excessive prices is not in spending the poeple's money on expensive commissions, but by laws making usury a orime aud taxing every uon producing acre bo high that no one can afford to hold it, and theu give It to those who would make it productive. "Tax land ont of the hands of the grafters," says Mr. Fielder, "aud give it to those who will use it aud the real estate men and commercial clubs will not have to spend thousands of dollars to bring people into Oregou. " Louis Wilde did not plunder the Oregou Trust o Savings Bauk of $'.10,000 it was all a mistake. The jury didn't find this conclusion from the evidence, but Judge Kava uaugh found it for them, aud directed them to bring it in. The judge said the st'tto had not proved the charge of embezzlement, therefore the jury said it too, as a good jurv should do. Aud it's mighty hard to put a popn lar fellow iu jail, if he is also a poli tician aud has frieuds and money. I ofter wouder what kiud of argu ments will get a , uian to dump his money iu suoh blue sky schemes as the Washington Orchard Fruit Co., while right under his nose are invest ments as sure aud as certain as any thing that lavs out of doors. And I wonder if we hadn't better take a leaf from that state of sun, sunflowers and soui-of-guus, bleeding Kansas, and protect our people, as Kansas does, from these bunco deals? QUESTIONS ANSWERS. Elkhorn, Oregon, Feb 22, 1913. Editor Courier : If there is room for oue more on your editorial page, I would like to ask a few questions in regard to the proposed single tax bill. You claim for smgln tax, that: "It is a dead certainly that if adopt od by the voteis there will be a mighty lot of dead land brought to 1 fe and settlement in this state, " I wonld like to ask : What kind of tueu do we have to depend upon to clear up our wild land? Is it not the poorer classes? Yes, Sir, Oregon has to look to the poor farmer for the settling of our wild land. Under the sing e tax law, as I un derstand it, the capitalists, the rail way companies, aud in fact all of them that own large amcuuts of prop erty (other than land) aud can well afford to pay taxes cn it, they will be exempt from paying taxes on their properties, while the poor farmer has to make up the deficieuoy in the tax roll. Is that right? I believe that it would he much better to keep the present system of eqnal taxation, and spend our surplus energy in trying to cut down some of the unnecessary ex penses of our government The average poor farmer, who is trying to clear up a piece of wild land, with the intention of making a borne out of it, does not. generally, own very muoh property, exoept his land. Under the single tax he would not have to pay taxes ou his improve ments, thus saviug him a few oents, but the tax on his land wonld be so much more that he would lose dollars, where he had saved only cents How large a per ceniage of th as sessed valuation of Oregou lands be long to the farmer? Is the assessed valuation of Oregon land, belongingato the capitalist and the speculator, as large, relatively, as the assessed valuat on of other prop erty which the capitalist , now pays taxes upon but would be exempt un der the Mugle tax law? Take the P. R. L. & P. Co. for ex ample of the single tax law : Their property was assessed, in 1911, at something over twenty-five million dollars. The single tax would exempt them from paying taxes on that twenty five million dollars, and raiFe the tax on the poor man's farm to make np for it It removes a part of the burden of taxation from the shoul ders of the rich man and places it up on the shoulders of the poor man, in addition to his own burden cf taxa tion. If you want to settle up Oregon's wild land, don't, make it any harder on the poor farmer than it already is. Don't make it ueoessary for a man to be worth several thousand dollars, be fore lie cau go to work and make a home out of a piece of Oiegon's wild land. Single Tax will, no doubt, help a number of farmers who own small, well improved farms; also those who own homes iu our cities and towns; but the ones that will be the most benefited by the passage of the single tax law are the capitalists. It is the poor settler who is trying to clear up a piece of wild laud to make a home out of. He is the man that will be injured by the passage of that law, and he is the man that we should make laws to proteot. In conclusion, X woul l like to say that there has been a decided improve ment in the Courier in the past few months, and 1 hope Friend Brown will "just keep it up." O. O. HUNTER. Yes, we must depeud on poor men to clear up our wild land, even when rich men own the wild land and hire men to olear it. We want the poor men to have the best chance possible to get enough land to make homes. Our frieud does not understand what single tax means when he says the railroads and other big frauchise corporations will be exempt from taxes under the single tax. For 1910 the Southern Paoifio paid $22,809.08. on its operating property in Clacka mas county, and under the single tax it would' have paid $35,827.19, or $12,518.11 more than it paid under the present syBtem. The nine big publio servioe corpor ations that do business in Clackamas county paid $70,197 8? on their opera ting properties In the county for 1910, but nuder single tax thev would have paid $100,975.75, which is $70,778.88 more than they paid nuder the present system of taxation. The poor farmers won't have to make up any deficiency under single tax. What our iriend calls "defi ciency" will be made up by higher taxes on franchise corporations and speculators. T. D. and 8. E. Collins have in Clackamas county 19 tracts of laud almost in oue bunch. The 19 tracts have 10,851 acres The taxes for 1910 were 444. Under single ax the Collins would have paid $4,642, which is $1,198 more than they did pay. I don t know how large a percent age of Oregon land valuations belong to farmers. Our frieud is wrong about the P. R. L. & P. Co. Its tax in Clacka mas oonnty for 1910 was $43,621 92, bat under siugle tax it wculd have been $5(1,670.30. Our friend should not guess about suoh things. Single tax will make the P. K. U. B r. Co. pay more taxes than it pays now. It would have paid 114,048.44 more un der single tax for 1910 than it paid nuder the present system. That's not a deficiency for the poor farmer to make up. PART OF THE PROCRAN. 1 may be dead wrong and do injus tice to a great Progressive, but in pol itics every mau has a guess coming and here is mine : That LaFolletto, in stepping down and out is simply carrying out a well laid plau between he and Roosevelt 1. sacrificing Ins own ambitions in the hopes of preventing Tatt's nomination With four candidates after the lamin ation aud Taft having the artillery LaFollette sees his chances are hope less, aud he thinks Roosevelt may nose Taft out with his help. Now it's yonr turn. There is a lot of property that is hidden out and covered up when the assessor comes around, but you never find a farm among it, or the little, mortgage-covered house and lot owned by the mill hand.

J Editor Courier : Solomon said there were four things lie didn't under stand, and he didn't try to diacuss them, George Hioinbotham doesn't uuder-stand siugle tax, but insists on discussing it. That is one difference between Solomon aud Mr. Hiciuboth am. A man should try to understand a publio question before he gets exj cited about it. It is not true that single tax is a tax on a man's investment in a home or in a piece ot land that he wants for a home. Single tax is not a tax ou investments, but is a tax on the o immunity value of land. It is a tax on the value added to land by popu lation aud general industiy, as dis tingoished from the value produced in land and on land by labor. If a poor man pays $100 an acre for a piece of laud, and the community value of that land is only $20 an acre, then the single tax assessment is $20 an aore. Will that ruin the poor man? If that poor mau tben builds a $1,000 house on his land, be will not be taxed on his $1,000 house. It he builds barns- and chicken bouses, plants fruit trees, bnys a horse and cows and furniture and farm imple ments, he will not be taxed on these things. Will it ruin him because he is not taxed on them ? If a poor man pays a speculator $100 an aore for five acres of land that has a flommunity value of $20 an acre, Mr. Hioinbotham would tax him on the $29 an aore of community value and also ou the $80 an acre he paid the speculator; and in addition Mr. Hioinbotham would soak him with taxes when he bnilds a home aud a barn, plants fruit trees and buys a horse and a cow ; and he says that is good for the poor man's pooketbook. The poor man paid $500 to the spec ulator. For what? He paid $100 for five acres of laud, and $400 to the speculator to get out of his way and give him a el auce to make a living. Why should he be t kxed ou the $400 the speculator took from him? If it is good for a man to be taxed on everything he has, why do mon con ceal property from the assessor when they can do so? Mr. Hiciubotham says he doesn't cam any thing about the small blocks if vakuble land owned in cities by speculators. To a blccck of land in Portland, a little piece of land loss than one acre, the population and general industry of the people have added $500,000. The owner has added nothing to it. The people give half a million dollars, as a free gift, to the owner of that little piece of land. But Mr Hioinbotham says that's a good thing. He has a queer idea cf "good things. ' In one year, from 1909 to 1910, the industrial popnlatiou of Portland added $100,000 to the value of Mr. Pittock's block of less than one ace of land just the land alone. The 1910 tax on that piece was $11,044. So the account for one year stands this way : People gave Pit took $106,000 Pittock paid people 11,044 Pittock's net profit $94,956 Mr. Hiuinbotliam does not care any thing about giving a speculator $95, 000 a year that he has not earned, but -he wautB the poor man taxed ou the little home, the cow and fruit trees that he has earned by his labor A poor man earns by the sweat of his brow a little home for Jiis family, and Mr. Hioinbotham says it will do him good to be taxed for his labor. Mr. Pittock, by the sweat of other men's brows, takes a net profit of $96,000 a year on a piece of idle land; but Mr. Hioinbotham doesn't care anything about that. How iu the name of common sense will it hutt the poor man to take the taxes off all the products of his labor and increase the tax on Mr. Pittock's little piece of idle land? W. G. EGGLESTON. IN WASHINGTON. Washington, D. C. The senate com mittee on finance began hearings Tuesday on the house bill revising the iron and Bteel tariff. Members of the committee generally express the belief that the hearings would be completed within two or three weeks. The committee now consists of eight regular Republicans, six Demo crats and Senator La Follette, "pro gressive" Republican, making 15 mem bers. Even if La Follette should unite with the Democratic members in sup port of the bill, the regular Republi cans on the committee would outvote the combination unless the senate should adopt the Newlands resolution providing for the addition of one Democrat and one "progressive" Re publican to this committee. Some of the regular Republicans express ap prehension that this course might be pursued. Borah-Jones Bill Passes In Senate. While Sc.r:t:'.ry Fisher was before the house public lands committee mak ing an argument against the Borah Jones bill, providing for a three-year homestead period and granting six months' leave of absence in each year of that period to entrymen desiring it, Senator Borah called up the meas ure before the senate and secured its prompt passage, without a dissenting vote. Secretary Fisher told the house com mittee that this bill would make it altogether too easy for homesteaders to get title to public lands and he thought also it would tend to induce fraud. Congressional Committee Selected. Republicans in congress caucused and named the committee that will conduct the coming congressional campaign. Insurgent and regular Re publicans fraternized In a manner not seen since the party revolt that shear ed Speaker Cannon of his power iu the preceding congress. Representative Lafferty, by the votes of himself and Senator Bourne, was elected congressional committee man from Oregon to succeed ex-Representative Ellis. Seuator Poindex ter was elected committeeman from Washington, having the votes of Re presentatives La Follette and War burtou. In the Idaho delegation Representa tive French was made committeeman to succeed ex-Representative Hamer. Senators Hejburn aud Borah both voted for French. House Fight Over Rules. A lively tight over the rules took Bakm AbSQluteljrJrure Where the finest biscuit, cake, hot-breads, crusts or puddings are required Royal is indispensable. Royal is equally valuable in the preparation of plain, substantial, every-day foods, for all occasions. The only baking powder made from Royal Grape Cream of Tartar No Alum No Unto Phosphates piace in the house and resulted In' flfe adoption of an amendment offered by vote of 150 to 100, after heated com parisons of "Underwoodlsm" With Representative Henry, of Texas, by a "Cannonlsm" and "Reedlsm" had been passed between leaders on both sides. Toe success of Republican Leader Mann In tying up the Democratic house through the manipulation of the new "discharge calendar," which was part of the reform programme adopted in the last oongress, resulted in the presentation of the amendment by Chairman Henry, of the rules commit tee. Militia Is Crltiolsed. Serious concern in the war depart ment over the scarcity of cavalry and field artillery organizations in the Na tional Guard haB led to a formal an nouncement that it is the policy of the department to encourage these branches, and that unallotted funds from federal militia maintenance ap propriations will be used for that pur pose. The state soldiery is top-heavy with infantry. The attention of the department kas been directed also to the fact that many state infantry regiments are not fully recruited. Consequently the militia division has issued a circular bulletin warning ' state authorities against authorizing any additional in fantry regiments until those already in existence are complete as to organ ization', arms and equipment. National Capital Brevities. The pension bill, carrying $152,759, 000 and providing pensions for more than 800,000 veterans of the Mexican and Civil wars, passed the house. The vote was 245 to 33. A bill Introduced by Representative NorriB of Nebraska proposes a 10 fear term for the postmaster general, the elimination of the entire post office department from politics. Official indorsement to the nations of the world of the San Francisco Panama-Pacific exposition was given by President Taft, who signed a pro llamation inviting exhibits from all the world for the big 1915 fair. The senate passed the Borah bill authorizing the creation of a bureau in the department of commerce and labor for the collection of information pertaining to the welfare of children and child life. The bill prohibits the invasion of private residences in quest of information.
