WILSON ON IMMIGRATION
"If we ran hit upon a atandard
which admits every voluntary Imml
grant,' say Prof. Wilson, In an ad
drees In New York, "and exclude
thoae w ho have not come of their own
motion, with their own pnrpose ot
making a home and a career for them'
solves, but have been Induced by
steamship companies or other to
come In order to pay the passage
money, then we will have what we
will agree upon, a Americana." This
wa addressed particularly to editor
of foreign language newspapers, many
of whom wer present at the gather
ing. A a presidential candidate,
Prof. Wilson find hi recent view
on the Immigration lasue very troub
lesome.
There la a wide divergence between
the professor present position on
Immigration and that ot which he
held a tew years ago. In one of his
historical works he attacked the Ital
ian, Hungarian and Polish Incomers,
and said that they were leu desira
ble accessions than were the Chi
nese. Aa that was intended to be a
serious work, he undoubtedly express
ed matured conviction upon it
Speaking in cold blood, without ny
expectation at that time that he
would ?vtr be a candidate for any po
litical office, he must hive meant ex
actly whit he wld. Nobody paid any
special tttenUon to I'rof Wilson
words In !iis hn'irv t.Mi: h year or
so ago, aitv being elected governor
of New Jersey began to be mention
ed In connection with the presidential
candidacy. Then his expressions lose
up to embarms htm. Since the nomi
nation V.a cjme to Mm his words
are not on y cmbarasslng. but they
are Uurvul t- the democratic party
whose standard bearer he chances to
be.
Imm'T'l''- ' "ll on " ,ne eT"
eral kiU:t on wi;b Prof. Wilson
la coniuWln-1 to :.un ta which
he iil iu other connection before
he enMitf pvtlilr II attacked
member of "aot suits t In a talk
two ft ttrce tear ago a beiiij leas
were outside 01 ibete organisations
He has be;n on two or three ii2u
ot the ques'Jon of 'he initiative, the
refereudum and the recall. Just hat
aide he holds on these subjects at
this moment I not known to the gen
eral public and probably It will not
be divulged before the campaign ends.
These continual shifts make him rath
er unstable. Nobody can, with any
confidence say what he would do oa
any Important question it he should
happen to be elected. This uncer
tainty as to where he will stand two
or three months hence is a weakness
to Prof. Wilson. If he is defeated In
November, as he probobly will be, his
fickleness and variability will get a
large part ot the blame for it
LOGIC IS LOGIC
There is a touch of pathos In Gov.
Hadley's spurned and even unan
swered advice to the Colonel in which
he pointed out the reactionary results
to follow a large "progressive" de
flection from the Republican party In
Missouri. . The Governor, for the first
time, seems to have caught a glimpse
of the truth that Roosevelt "Progres
siTeism" spells reaction to Bourbon
ism. Referring to recent Republican
victory in the Btate he writes: "Since
that time the state government has
been in control of the Republican
party, ana no one can successfully
claim that it has not been clean, ef
ficient and progressive ia the conduct
of state affaire. On the other hand
the Democratic party in this state,
with the exception of the faction
which supported Mr. Folk, now al
most a negligible quantity, has stood
and now stands, for nothing except
machine politics, reactionary polices

These voter," he write, referring
to Progressives who shrink from ltour-
bon restoration, "realise what

candidates for state officer, should be

M'KINLEY AND ROOSEVELT
Colonel Roosevelt attacked the late
President McKlnley as he now assails
President Taft when Mr. .McKlnley
would not do what Roosevelt wanted.
The fact Is made plain In a state
ment made by James Royle, formerly
consul general to Liverpool and for
many years private secretary and
confidential friend of President Mc
Klnley. He asserts that Mark Han
na's dslike ot Roosevelt was due to
the tact that the latter was guilty of
'Insolent and brutal criticism of Pres
ident McKinley" because the latter
would not allow himself to be domi
nated by Roosevelt Mr. Boyle says:
"I also feel free to say and it is
my duty to say. In view of certain
things now going on that It was well
understood by intimates ot the late
Senator Hannah that the chief reason
why he opposed Roosevelt' nomina
tion tor vice-president was because ot
Roosevelt's insolent and brutal criti
cism of President McKinley In refer- j
ence to Incidents immediately preced
ng the Spanish-American war. Mark
Hanna fiercely resented these criti
cisms, and wanted the president to
summarily remove Roosevelt as as
sistant secretary ot the navy; but the
president, with his wonderful pa
tience and amiability, passed the mat
ter over in silence, and never men
tioned it to others: but Mark Hanna
felt under no such restraint Mark
Hanna was one ot the few men who
thoroughly appreciated at that early
day what kind ot a man Roosevelt has
proven himself to be."
One of the established facts ot poli
tics is that is better to stick to the
G. O. P. than to be sorry.
The Last Pioneer
i
Draw closer children all around my
chair
So that my age-dim eyes can see each
face.
A word is on my lip that each may
hare
Whom once as babe I held in fond
embrace
I hear It whisper from yon harvest
field
Now fuller goldened in the setting
sun
And from the orchard in Its purpling
yield
Go to your rest the builder' work Is
, done.
To reap the fruit where be up-turned
the soil
Is not the task that stays the Pioneer
The pathways made and smooth-
ened by his toll
Are for the tendre'r comers of
The rear.
On far away Atlanta's crowded shore
I fled the air by city's breath de
filed Had still my bands their wielding
Strength of yore
My feet would tread some new
Unconquered wild.
Now things are changed.the crude and
wild must go.
The old-time joys and tasks alike
have fled
The smaller, smiling faces round me
Show
The garden bloom, but not the wild
rose red.
I bless you all, as children should be
blest
Ere full upon me death' dark shad
ow creeps
Then take me simply, silently to rest
Upon yon hillock where your
mother sleeps.

FORUM OFTIIE PEOPLE
ARGUES AGAINST LAND TAX
KSTAOA1U. Sept. 1.1. iK.lltor of
the Enterprise) So far In the die
sion of (he slunle tax neither its ad
vocate nor its opponents have called
attention clearly to whut the simile
tax is Intended to do. lUHb side
huve dealt with the figure showing
what the taxes would be If present
... ... ..... i.i i ..I..
' " ""' "' ,'""
The fidure are necessarily approxi
mations.
Hut 1 wish to speak of the ultimate
end of single tax. In chapter VIII, of
Henry George's "The l-and In Dues-1
tinn." he iilvea the clearest state-j
incut of the purpose of single tax that
i Rnnw 0f He says: "The only true
i and Just solution of the problem, the
onlv KXll worth aiming at, is to
I make Al.I. the land the common prop
I erty of ALL tho people "This then Is
the end of single tax. The graduated
single lax amenumcm auu u wumj
single tax bill we must vote upon
November 15th would not of them
selves bring this end about; but they
would be a big step In that direction
and I think the people could rest as
suretl that they would be asked to go
on and and on until tho ultimate end
of single tax is reached. It I like
wise true that the people have the
sovereign power In their own haud
to go a far a they wish, or to back
up If the result do not suit them.
Put they will do nothing blindly. We
should see clearly, if we cau see,
whither we are embarking ere we
cast off our anchor.
Henry George says: "How shall
thta be done? It merely necessary to
divert the rent which now flows Into
the pockets of the landlords Into the
common treasury of the whole peo
ple." Further he says: "It Is a very
easy thine thus to sweep away all
private ownership of land, and con
vert all occupiers Into tenants of the
state by spproprtating rent." He say
the title still would remain with the
people but that they would be empty
titles, such as the pretender to the
throne of France who calls himself
the -King of France.
Now. gentlemen, do you not wish
such a condition of affairs to be
brought about? If you do. vote for
single tax: if you do not. vote against
It. In the Jamestown colony of Mass
achusetts the land was first held In
common, or was the property of all
the people there residing. Conditions
were particularly favorable In the
Plymouth Colony for the success of
such an experiment, but neither
colony prospered until pvivate own
ership ot land was adopted. Where
ever else In the world communal
ownershop ot alnd has been tried It
has proven a failure. There are
semi-civilized tribes who, hold land in
common. Civilisation never comes
to them till they accept private own
ership of land. The American Indian
is an example. When he. becomes the
owner of a farm he becomes a useful
citizen of our country, but is a burden
while sustaining tribal relations and
holding a common Interest in his res
ervation. Communal holdings of land give the
Idle the same benefits as the indus
trious, the spendthrift the same as the
frugal. There would be no Incentive
to make good improvements upon a
farm that was not a man's own. He
would expect the state, the benefi
ciary of the rent, to make the Im
provements. He would expect the
state to clear the wild land, build the
fences, dig the wells, and make all
permanent Improvements. There
would be no Incentive to excel. Com
munities would go backward Instead
of forward.
The right of private ownership has
been abused by many, but there are
remedies for these abuse without
destroying private ownership. We
should give earnest study to the solu
tion of these problems as their solu
tion would remove causes which lead
many to accept single tax.
I think I have made clear the END
which single tax aims to bring about
by giving Henry George's own words.
As be Is the father of the single tax
idea it must be accepted as authority.
Keep this end clearly in view when
you go to the polls November 5th and
do not listen to the pocket book ap
peal of the single taxer. uoYrtax may
be less for awhile but do you wish
ultimately to surrender your title to
your land to the state? This is the
real question proposed by the single
tax.

ASKS ABOUT GOVERNOR WE8T
OREGON CITY, Sept 15. (Editor
of the Enterprise) Will yon please
inform me what has become of Gov
ernor West. Is be off on his vacation
or has he gone back to Salem and
crawled In his hole. The Governor
is trying to do what other officials
didn't couldn't or wouldn't do, so it
seems to me that a man that wont
stick up for West surely Isn't In favor
of human decency.
Respectfully,
J. D. RENNER.
U'REN ANSWERS EVANS
OREGON CITY, Sept. 16. (To the
Editor). Mr. John T. Evans of Bea
er Creek, in reading the Single Tax
Amendment and Tax Roll at first
thought there was a mistake in his
assr-sment and taxes for 1910. He bad
overlooked the assessment cf $350 for
his personal property only which was
in the name of his wife and himself
When this was added to his land and
building assessment It tallied with
hi tax receipt and the complete ex
emption of his personal property and
improvemtns would have reduced his
tax from $24.70 to $18.56, a net sav
ing of $5.14. He said one of bis
neighbon bad found the same trouble
In reading the County Single Tax
and Amendment roll, tax-payers
should look on pages 1 to 96 for acres
and farm land; from pages 97 to 146
for city lots, and from pages 147 to
155 for personal property. There are
quite a number of Instance where
the land Is in the name of the bus
hand or wife, and their personal prop
erty is assessed and listed separate
ly from the land In the personal prop
erty book, or to husband and wife.
or to the one who does not own the
land. The official records are made
In that form and it therefore neces
sary to follow the same form In mat
Hng up and printing the Single Tax
Roll.
Mr. Evans says the County Single
I Tax Bill is worth voting for, and the
Graduated Specific Tax and Exempt-
' ion Amendment Is still better for the
i farmers. I hope you can give this
space in your columns.
Sincerely yours,
W. 8. U'REN.
U'REN VS. STARKWEATHER
OREGON CITY. Sept. !. (To the
Editor) Mr. Starkweather' letter
I last week I interesting but his per
sonal history Is not an argument
ngalntt single tax. Of course, he
made every possible effort to dodgo
all personal and future taxo on that
Portland lot which tilu-a him nun
money for rout evt'ry year without
work, nearly four time over, than ho
ever earned by useful liihor.
Hut Mr. Starkweather ha another
think coming about the Graduated
Single Tax Amendment. A part ot
that amendment wa prepared ex
pressly to catch hi particular kind
of tax dodger. The Graduated Tax
I a pclllo tax levied against own
er tiecHumi they own certain aggre
gnte value, and cannot be shifted on
to the tenant. If he Is tiling to pay
hi share of the taxes of (inckamns
County, why la he so anxious to muke
his tenants pay his te In Portland?
Isn't It funny that Mr. Htnrkweatn-
er will hire lawyers and make such,
an effort to dodge taxes on his prop
erty, and yet seem to really to believe
that working farmers and other use
ful cltixens would be ruined ir tn law
should exempt their Improvements
and personal property from taxes? He
Is an educated man and If be had any
truth or Justice on his slue he would
not asto time calling names. As to
the word "parasite" it would seera
to me that the man who lives on th
labor of other and g.ve no ervlce
of any kind In return is very near to
being within the dictionary definition
of that word. The trouble with Mr.
Starkweather and all ot his class I
that they know that they would have
to pay more taxe under the Gradua
ted Single Tax and Exemption Amend
ment out of what they get from their
tenants and for which they give no
valuable service.
Sincerely your
W. S. U'REN.
DR. FORD ASKED QUESTIONS.
OREGON CITY, Sept. 17. (Editor
of the Enterprise). I see some things
in print nowadays that cause me to
smile. One of the most smllte of
smiles was caused by I). Ford open
letter to Judge McGinn. Hr. Kord
was the man that said at the Bull
Moose meeting at Willamette Hall,
"This is no time to be on the fence.
If you are a Moose. I am a Trohl'. If
I was not I would be a Moose." Now
Dr. Kord attended the Clackamas
County "Prohl" Couventlon Saturday.
I suppose that when be read Judge
McGinn's Scriptural passage both to
gether was too much for hlra, hence
the Shout But Doctor. If you were
a well acquainted as some people
with lawyers you would know they
quote Scripture when they have
a bud rase but the quotation is good
whether It Is applicable to T. II. or
not. Now what has Teddy done? Why,
bless your life, the only thing that
he has ever done to my knowledge
of any good Is the attempted annihila
tion of the Republican party for sel
fish motives. Why, It he had been a
true Progressive, he would have work
ed for La Follette. one of the greatest
Progressives of the age. Another.
he busted the trusts to the tune of
149 when he went into office and
there were 1020 when hewent out The
first year he went Into oiflce there
was excess of revenue over expense
of $90,000,000 and at the end of even
year he left a deficit of $38,000,000
and an Increase of government ex
penses ot $190,000,000 per year over
his predecessors.

DR. MILUKMLLS
WILSON ONLY "BAIT"
OREGON CITY. Sept 18. (Editor
of the Enterprise) I have a sincere
regard and respect for Woodrow Wil
son as a christian man and a gentle
man. But I am not going to vote for
the Democratla for the following rea
sons: 1st. Mr. Wilson Is all right, but he
is only one side of the ticket The
other side Is Thomas F. Marshall,
who was nominated by the liquor In
terests of his state for Governor In
190S, and who fought his whole cam
paign on the liquor Issue, attacking
the local option law so bitterly that
be line 1 up all the liquor vote of the
state ar out
2nd. Mr. Wilson Is a local option
man. but Mr. Marsnaii usea an nis
influence after election to get the lo
cal option law repealed, and succeed
ed, with the result that forty-rive
counties, previously dry, have gone
back into the old license system.
3rd. Mr. Wilson Is a temperance
man. but Mr. Marsnaii said inrougn
the columns of the Indianapolis Sun
In August of 1908, "The Democrat
who believes that the liqour business
should be abolished entirely should
not vote for me. He should vote the
Prohibition ticket." I thoroughly
agree with him.
4th. Mr. Wilson says be believes
in repealing the liquor laws, but Mr.
Mr. Steve Fleming, the great Booz-
bosB of Fort Wayne said In the In
dianapolis Star of January 9,1911. "I
have known him (Marshall) for a
lone time, and he has visited me fre
quently during the last few months.
He is Interested In strengtnening me
linuor laws, and I believe we are in
accord as to what should be done on
that question." If Mr. Marshall Is In
accord with Mr. Fleming I cannot be.
5th. That stalwart clean gentle
man, Mr. Bryan, was back of Mr. Wil
son's nomination. But T. M. Gllmore
President of the National Model Li
cense League (a booze organization)
and exmayor Dave Rose or Milwau
kee, were back of Mr. Marshall's nom
ination. And the fact that Mr. Bryan
and Mr. Wilson were not strong
enough to keep one of the strongest
antl prohibition, antl local option, li
cense advocates In the land on me
other half of the ticket show that
they will be unable to do anything
against the wishes of their strange
bedfellows for the advancement or
temperance legislation If they could
not keep them oft the ticket mey
could not help temperance legislation
with them there.
6th. I believe the refined Mr. Wil
son is the bait, and Mr. Marshall Is
the hook that the Democratic Tammany-Murphy
ring have out this
year of our Lord ninteen-twelve, to
catch Christian temperance suckers,
and I have no desire to be caught by
so obvious a piece of political chican
ery. 7th. Should I vote for Mr. Wilson
t shallow his running mate as well,
and as the Good Book says "A bouse
divided against itself cannat stand" I
am going to avoid Indigestion by tak
ng Mr. Marshall's sdvlce and voting
the Prohibition ticket.

"As a Progressive," replied the Sen

What's more, I will confess that I am
surprised at the result of the primar

Washington was known to the people
of Oregon. I am Informed that the
majority of the newspaper of the
state were opposed to me and that
ony six gave me support In view of
this I consider It a high compliment
to the Intelligence of the state that
I received the vote I did. I supposed
that the press would give straight
new of my labors. Even then, with
so many papers against me, I believ
ed that there would be enough people
In the state who kept track of affairs
at Washington to know what I was
doing and, by dropping a word now

Oregon Interests, the general public
would be Informed by molecular mo
