A PARTY OF PRINCIPLE.
In severing my connection with the
Enterprise, after a sojourn in Oregon City
of more than three months, I deem it
proper to take this opportunity of thanking
the many new friends made here, during so
short a period, for the many kindnesses
bestowed upon a stranger. Recognizing
the fact that all cannot see alike, it bas
been the aim of the Enterprise during the
past three months to express only the
individual views of the editor upon all
questions of public policy, and in doing so
no doubt many persons of opposite polit
ical belief haye, to some extent, taken such
pointed remarks as being directed at them
personally. This is true in some instances,
but where sucb bas occurred the names of
the individuals have been in cold type.
Leaders of political parties and organiz
tions are legitimate subjects for comment
by an unbridled press snd believing it to be
so the Enterprise bas not spared even the
"crowned beads" of the populist party,
The state of Oregon during the past two
years bas undergone a political revelation
and Clackamas county bas not been lack'
lug in supplying its share of the stench
which bas brought disgrace not only to the
county from which it emanated but to the
state at large. During season of un
precedented depression good citizens were
lured and inveigled into the support of a
party whose leaders promised all things to
11 men. This, as bas since been shown,
was merely for the sake of getting votes bat
with no intention of keeping faith after
election and many men of all 'parties, seek'
ing diligently for relief from the burdens of
taxation, a general shrinkage in values of
all commodities and consequent small de-
. mand, were, it is true, easily enough led
stray by the false snd Insincere promises
of the populist or "reform" party. But
relief did not come to those seeking it
through these channels for the ante-elec
tion promises were never kept. Neither
was there an attempt made to keep tbeni.
All the remedial measures promised were
forgotten as soon as the ballots were
counted and the relief so lone; desired never
came from the sources expected.
Relief did come, however, but not from
the populist source. The restoration of
the republican party to power brought
with it renewed life and bone. It was
proclaimed throughout the length and
breadth of this country that the wage
earner and the tiller of the soil should have
reasonable compensation for their labor
nd that exchange between the employer
nd employed should be made in the best
money the world affords. With this assur
ance the money for months, even years,
hoarded in safe depositories and bidden
way In old boot-legs which bad been
taken oat of the channels of trade, came
from its hiding place and went out into
circulation seeking profitable investment
nd being exchanged for the necessaries ot
life which are produced principally by our
4wn farmers. Prices paid were better than
for many years, and those who bad the
commodities demanded were enabled to
liquidate indebtedness against their homes
of long standing, in - many cases having a
surplus with which to purchase clothing
nd other items necessary to human com
fort. These things have actually come to pass
within one year and why baye we not the
right to inquire the cause, and reflect for a
moment as to what was the policy of the
party in power when these conditions came
about. Was it due to the theories advanced
by populism? Nothing could be further
from the facts, for it is well understood
that every favorable condition that has
been wrought was the absolute result from
just the reverse of the theories advanced by
the followers of Mr. Bryan. Every eco
nomlo theory advanced by the Nebraska
statesman and re-echoed from bill-top to
bill-top by the lesser lights alt over the
country bas Ions: since been exploded by
the natural law ot supply and demand.
But to return again mora closely to tli
original subject. Two years ago Clackam
county was earned by populist candidates
with republican votes. The career of tbe
legislative members from this county has
caused tbe state at large to point the finger
of scorn at Clackamas county tor having
made it possible for U'Ren A Co. to have
heaped disgrace upon all. These
votes, as indicated before, were secured
through misrepresentation at a time when
the least semblance of possible relief from
existing burdens was eagerly sought, espe
cially by the producing classes, and conse
quently republicans, for the moment, for
got party and hundreds joined the forces of
General Calamity, the result of which was
shown in the following election. The E
terprise has not, nor does it now, believ
this deception can be worked second time.
The republican party today, as in the past,
stands for the best government this country
ever knew. It has always maintained an
sustained conditions best suited to a tree
people. It has successfully grappled with
and in due time overcome every obstacle to
the nation's welfare, and judging by th
past there seems to be good reason to fear
that in the preset crisis, if sustained by the
people, success will be the result. Mem
bers of the party have wavered at different
times but the eternal principles of Anieri
canism have gone on steadily and success
fully.
Oregon is the first state to bold an elec
tion this year, and as bas been well said
tbe eyes of tbe nation are upon as, and as
Oregon goes, in our opinion, the tri
umpbant strain will be wafted through
every state of tbe Union from the Pacific
to the Atlantic, from the gulf to the lakes,
that this is not a state of calamity; that
Oregon points the way to republican victor
ies throughout tbe states of tbe Union in
1898, and tbat in future she shall not be de
prived of representation in the balls of the
national legislature by the disgraceful and
expensive acts of populist legislators.
Clackamas county bas a reputation to re
deem and we believe ber people are equal
to the emergency.
Jobs R. Beigli.
THE INEVITABLE.
Up to the year '92, or until tbe agitation
of free silver first began, throughout tbe
United States tbe entire mass of voters was
divided into only two factions; man was
either republican straight out, or be was a
straight-out democrat. Under the adminis
tration of one or tbe other of these two
great parties the country prospered and tbe
people were satisfied. Often of necessity
they would fight, sometimes to tbe bitter
end; but the object in their existence was
to act on each other as a check, and tbey
existed on a plane tbat commanded each
other's respect.
Today, six years only since we first heard
tbe expression, "10 to 1,' in the state of
Oregon there are five distinct parties at
least tbe people think so and this seem
ingly unfortunate condition of affairs is not
only true of Oregon, but equally so in a
greater or less degree of every state in the
Union. But is not there some mistake?
Because there are five parties in name, is it
necessarily so in fact? Is it not. The same
material tbat composed the republican and
democratic parties of Oregon six years ago
is here today, in principle unaltered, as
eventually is bound to be proven. Yet
right now in this state, in . Clackamas
county, men, who six years ago were band-
to-hand republicans, come out fiat-footed
against each other In spite of the fact that
both common reasoning and honest con
vlctlon naturally class tbem together.
Tbe right to vote is given to man, not to
a child. Accept tbe inevitable; put away
childish things. The question is between
the people's party and law, order and pros
perity. If you are in favor of the former,
join the people's party; otherwise oppose it,
In the tariff question tbe republicans will
meet tbe democrats half way, if by so doing
the populist can be defeated. Why besi
tate? Is it not true tbat sound-money re
publicans and sound-money democrats
taken together constitute a majority Of the
voters? The two old parties the standard
parties, having just undergone a refining
process, are now better than ever qnalified
to associate with each other. Daring tbe
past few years they have been thoroughly
renovated, their refuse going to make up
tbe populist party. During the separating
period it is not improbable that good men,
both democrats and republicans, were cast
ont with the refuse, but it was on account
of an unfortunate, butcommonly prevailing
ignorance. Many, upon informing them
selves, have gladly returned to their old
places in ranks, among whom was Hoke
Smith, of Georgia, who agrees with Emer
son tbat, "A foolish consistency is tbe
hobgoblin of little minds. Speak what'
you think today In bard words, and to
morrow, speak what tomorrow thinks In
hard wonts again, even though It contra
dicts everything you said yesterday."
A TAX ON I NOOK ICS.
We heartily agree with the Oregonlan
when it says that an income lax should lla
criminate between incomes earned through
investments and properly, and incomes
earned through industry and abilities.
The law as declared unconsistutlonsl by
the supreme court during President Cleve
land's last term was a discriminating one
but such discrimination was In tbe wrong
direction. For instance a tax was to be
levied upon all incomes in excess of $1,000,
Tnat is to say two men possessing incomes
within a few cents of being equal, one woul
be taxed upon his entire amount while the
other would be exempt.
We are of the opinion that an income tax
law would be all right, levied upon incomes
from investaients, rents etc., but to make it
equitable it should begin at the bottom
and tax all incomes ol such character from
one cent upward, and not begin, as did th
recent law, in the middle of the ladder to
ascend. But to levy a tax on tbe incomes
or daily earnings of the employed would
work a very serious hardship and would
not be conclusive to the welfare and pros
perity of that class of our population, who,
through force of circumstances, do not re
ceive more than enough from their daily
labor to keep soul and body together.
Indeed an income tax formed with judl
clous discrimination as to the source of In
comes levied upon property and invest
merits of money generally, and not from
personal industry could not be considered
unjust. But the serious phae of a la
this kind would be the difficulty in en lore
lug the collection of such taxes. Our pres
ent law of taxation furnishes an object
lesson in tbe assessment and collection of
taxes on money, notes and accounts.
Under our present system, and the system
operated under in the past it bas been Im
possible for the assessor to assess this class
of property for the reason that people hold'
Ing such securities would not list them with
the assessor and consequently be could
have no knowledge of their existence. Tbe
assessment roll for Clackamas county for
1897 shows that tbe assessor found ll'.OOO
in money. Does any sane person suppose
that amount to be one-half or even one-
fourth of tbe actual cash in the entire
county? As a matter of fact people will
not give in their money, notes and accounts
for the reason tbat no law exists whereby
they can be apprehended in deceiving the
tax-gatherer, and therefore a very large per
centage of tbe actual valuation in each
county and state bears no portion of the
burden of taxation. Such being tbe case
an income tax could be of no force and
eflect until some way might be devised
wbereby people having incomes could be
forced to divulge the same to tbe assessor,
When this is done it may be appropriate to
enact an income tax law, provided always
that it shall be properly classified.
EQUALITY I.N TAXATION,
Ex-President Harrison made a speech
before tbe Union League at Chicago on
February 22nd which men of all conditions
of life should study. It points directly and
unmistakably at the root of the evil which
menaces tbe life of tbe republic. "Equality,"
said the ex-President, "is tbe golden thread
that runs all through the fabric of oar civil
institutions tbe dominating note in the
swelling symphony of liberty. Equality,
not of conditions, not of natural endow
ments, but of rights, is the foundation
stone of our governmental structure."
Truer words have never been spoken.
Equality of conditions and endowment Is
not a part of tbe economy of nature, but
equality of rights is the heritage the gov
ernment owes to its people. To tbe extent
to which departure is made in tbe observ
ance of this obligation of government, gov
ernment will be weak. Tbe departure
from the obligation of government which
General Harrison made the point of bis ad-
ress was tbe glaring failure to collect taxes
in proportion to the property held by indi
viduals. "The whole revenues of a state,"
be said, "may be derived from contribu
tions exacted from a yery small minority
of its population, the majority going free.
To allow such a system is not only to rob
the minority thus unduly burdened, but is
to rob the state of tbat which is essential to
its healthy existence, and, indeed, to tbe
fe of republican institutions."
At this point be made an application of
the principle be had enunciated. With a
very few exceptions the great fortunes of
us country are invested in sucb securities
as stocks, bonds and other evidences of
debt. This Is tbe kind of property tbat
escapes taxation. .In New York but 12 per
cent of tbe total amount of property
taxed was in ths form of personal property.
Yet Controller Roberts expresses the opin
ion that tbe taxable personal property in the
state is at least equal to the amount of real
estate. General Harrison did not say so.
but the 12 per cent of personal property
hich is taxed is not bonds and stocks and
like securities. It is tbe poor woman's
sewing machine, tbe mosio teacher's piano,
the household furniture of rich and poor,
things that the tax gatherer can lay hands
on, that make ths bulk of the 12 per cent.
And yet luoomes amounting to hundreds
of thousands of dollnrs year are derived
I rum personal property which there is
scarcely an attempt to tax. States bid for
the honor of the prvsenoe of theso tax dodg
ers by passing laws practically exempting
personal property from taxation. The
habit ol evading taxes has so blunted Hie
moral sense of lawmakers that tbey see no
harm in offering a premium en fraud.
General Harrison does not advocate the
principle of progressive taxation that Is of
taxing persons in proportion to their
wealth. He does advocate the rule that
person worth millions should be taxed on
each dollar at precisely the same rate the
person of moderate means is taxed. It Is
probably of no use to sppeal to the multi
millionaires to come forward voluntarily
and inbuilt their holding without exception
to the assessor. The spectacle of a Rocke
feller, Vanderbllt, a Runnel Sage or a
Gould coming forward and offering a list of
their Inoome-paying property to the tax
gatherer would be grand, but this genera
tion Is not likely to witness it. The tax
gatherer will, if there is to be a change,
have to become the aggressor.
C0RBKTT MI ST STAND IP
The senate last Monday by a decisive vote
of 60 to 19 decided against the claim of Mr.
W. II. Corbett to a seat In that body under
appointment from Governor Lord, Out of
the 11) members who voted to seat Corbett
there were a number of populists and free
silver men, while the gold men, as rule,
voted against the appointee. For mouth
it has been known that Mr. Corbett would
not be seated for tbe reason that the mcth
ods resorted to to bring about his appoint
nient were familiar to every member of the
body to which he sought admission.
was known tbat hs could not be elected on
an honest Issue and In order to reach the
doors of tbe senate, be must prevent the
legislature from organising, that Ihe'govor
nor might have an opportunity to appoint
him. To do this required money and Mr,
Corbett bad tbe available cash and for ths
mere shadow of again being member of
tbe highest law-making power of the
nation, was willing to supply the where
with to corrupt the state legislation. The
conspiracy was arrayed, the money put up
and the plan succeeded. And In lieu there
of Corbett was armed with senatorial cre
dentials snd started for Washington. But
when the scheme was carried to the nail
onal capital It was found that there were no
8imons, U'Rens, Ogles and Bournes there
whom money would tempt to violate all
laws and customs of honor, morality and
good sense. The united States senate
could not be beld up in the Interest of such
an aggregation of traitors as that which
debauched and brought disgrace upon the
state of Oregon.
The senate by Its vote bas said, and we
believe lor all time to come, that the legis
lature of a state cannot be held up in the
n teres t of tbe man who supplies the funds
1th whlcb to accomplish sucb an object ;that
majority shall rule; tbat man to be ad
mitted to tbat body must come with clesn
bands if he would be recognized by states
men. Tbe Oregonlan's attack upon Senator
McBride because he exercised his right on
the side of bis state in voting on the Corbett
case is what might have been expected
Senator McBride Is no populist and does
not get his political strength from that
source, consequently he is the subject of
attack from abusive journals and dishonest
politicians.
SENATOR BBOWHEU'H POSITION.
The Oregonlan criticizes Senator Ilrownell
because he sent letter to Senator Burrows
explaining the situation at Salem daring
the late attempted session of the legislature
' in which the statement was made that
Senator Mitchell, the caucus nominee, sat
isfied that he could not be elected, bad
amed in writing a number of republicans
whom he would cheerfully support," etc.
Tbe Oregonlan proceeds to abuse Senator
Browne!!, ex-Senator Mitchell and Senator
McBride in rather unfair manner, as is
proven by the following letter, written by
Senator Mitchell to tbe republican confer
ence several days before the final adjourn
ment of tbe legislature. This letter speaks
for itself and to the eflect that Benator
Brownell's statement is correct and that
Senator Mitchell stood ready and willing to
co-operate with all true republicans in an
effort to elect his own successor to the
United States senate:
Balxm, Oregon, Feb. 22, 1897.
Hon. Samuel IIdohks,
Chairman Republican Conference,
Salem, Oregon.
"My Dear Sir: I understand there is a
strong disposition upon the part of the ma
jority of the republicans to adjourn tbe
legislature sine die without further effort to
secure the election of a senator. This would
leave tbe state only partly represented In
the senate of tbe United States, the effect of
which, in all probability, would be to place
tbe control of the senate in the bands of
those opposed to tbe republican party, in
which event the defeat of tariff legislation
t tbe coming extraordinary session of con
gress would be assured. It seems to me,
therefore, there is a paramount duty upon
yon to make one more determined effort
before final adjournment to secure the
election of senator. There are many
prominent republicans located In different
sections of tbe state eminently qualified for
the position, men who would do credit to
P'ty. tb tate and the nation. I will
co oerate with you and all other republi
cans In the legislature In endeavoring to
bring about the election of sunli republican
as the republican conference, to whom this
letter Is addressed, will agree Ukiii.
"Yours very sincerely,
"John II, Win iim.i,,"
Thus it will be seen that Mr. Mitchell
was not only willing to assist In the election
of another, but was the II rut to suggest such
a plan whereby the state might have full
representation in the senate of the United
Slates. Mark his words:
"There are many prominent republicans
located In dlllnriuit parts of the state emi
nently qualified for the position, men who
would do credit to the party, the state and
the nation." And again, ' I will co operate
with you and all other republicans In the
legislature In endeavoring to hrlng about
the election of such republican as the con
ference, to whom this letter la addressed,
will agree upon."
Was not the statement of Mr. Ilrownell to
Senator Burrows correct, and does not the
Oregonlan again show Its personal griev
ance against both Mr. Mitchell and Mr.
Iliowhell In the use of such language as
"liar," "scrub politician" and "disrepu
table?" Such expressioua emanating from
the bruin of Harvey Ucoltl
PDHUC OPINION.
Koachurg I'lalmlealer:
For the Information of our esteemed con
temHirary, the llandon Recorder, which
has worked Itself Into a frenzy because the
I'lalmlealer said all values are nieamred by
gold, ve beg to say that the pruoltloii
that Hie government had the right to say
what should constitute money was not
disputed. Hut saying a thing Is nmiiey.lt
one thing and compelling the commercial
world to ect-ept it as such and at Its fare Is
something else. This is a proposition that
does not seem to penetrate the fog that sur
rounds the brain of the average flatist.
Albany Herald:
Statement ol facts, bearing iioii the
Alaska gold field matters, has very little
effect, apparently, upon the crssy gold
hunters rushing to the North. For In
stance, It has been repeatedly alllrmed that
summer weather does not commence there
until In May or June. Still the tide rushes
on without any diinintiou, notwithstand
ing that practically nothing can be done
until the opening up of the country and
navigation on the river, and that the In
leriru must be passed with great exense
and hardship Incumbent on the severity of
winter weather In that h)prborvaii region.
Oregonlan: Demo-populist In many
places are again demanding the enactment
of an Income tax, In The Oregonlan's opin
ion there is no Just objection to an Income
lax, It there be discrimination between In
comes earned through personal Industry
and abilities, and Incomes earned through
investments or from pruerty. For prop
erty should be the basis of all taxation.
The Industry of the cltisen or his personal
ability to earn money should never be taxed.
An Income tax, framed with judicious
discrimination as to the source of Incomes
levied upon incomes from property, and
not from personal Industry could not be
called unjust. Hut such taxation belongs
to the functions ef the states rather than to
those of the national government.
Koaeburg l'laindealer:
It Is said notwithstanding the "hard
times" last year the following amounts
were Sent; '.2,onO,ono for chewing gum,
$J0O,0n0,0U0 for other amuaemen(s,ir3,(XiU,.
000 for tobacco, $'.;2,IU2,H6 for Intoxicating
liquors. jnese ngures make
grand total of over $1,800,000,0110
spent for luxuries, or a sum
about equal to the entire amount of the cir
culating medium In the hands of the peo
ple. Now It ought to puzile the brain of
the average inflationist to know where tbe
money comes from to purchase the neces
saries of life if all there Is Is 6xnt lor lux
uries. For, if we csnnot pay our debts be
cause the volume of the debt Is greater than
the amount of money In circulation, then
we cannot surely purchase II the volume of
our purchases is greater than the money,
Hut we do, and with circulation of
$1,800,000,000 we In this country transact
business representing over $2,000,000,000
every week the yesr round. What Is needed
Is not so much more money but to keep
what we have employed.
Denver Republican! A first-class battle
ship costs $.1,000,000, or a little more.
Thirty . could be built for $100,000,000.
These, with tbe vessels already in commis
sion, or In course of construction, would
give the United States the most formidable
fleet of battleships in the world. The rich
est nation In the world, wltb a national debt
no longer burdensome, the United States
could build 30 battle-ships and hardly so
much as feel the outlay. The coasts should
be fortified at every dangerous point. That
would leave the navy free to prosecute an
offensive war. Good progress has been
made in this direction, but there still re
mains much to be done. The Union was
formed to provide for the national defense.
It is the duty of congress to appropriate
whatever money may be needed to secure
that end.
Robbed the Orave.
A startling Incident of which Mr. John
Oliver of Philadelphia, was the suhjoct,
is narrated by him as follows: "I was
in a moat dreadful condition. My skin
was almost yellow, eyea sunken, tongue
coated, pain continually in back and
sides, no appetite gradually growing
weaker day by day. Three pbynlulans
had given me up. Fortunately, a friend
advised "Electric Bitter"," and to my
great joy and surprise, the first bottle
made a decided improvement I continued
their use for three, weeks and am now
a well man. I know they sayed my life,
and robbed the grave of another victim."
