SHIFTING THE BURDEN
One of the provisions of the Single
Tax law proposed by Mr. U'Rea and
his paid lieutenants is that there shall
be no licenses paid. The most import
ant of these are the saloon licenses
which now contribute to the cost of
government in the City of Portland
to the amount of $385,000 annually,
besides the wholesalers and manu
facturers licenses.
The amount of .saloon licenses in
Oregon City alone is $15,000.00 annu
ally. How much it is from the sa
loons in other towns of the county,
we are not advised.
The reason given out by Single
Taxers for this exemption is that la
bor is expeneded in the manufacturer
and sale of intoxicating liquors. No
right thinking persons regards this as
a good excuse. No product of labor
is so harmful to, and destructive of,
labor, nor adds so much to the cost
of government.
The REAL, reason is that by shift
ing this burden on the owners of real
estate it will help to make their taxes
so heavy as to discourage the own
ership of land and the improvement of
wild lands, with the desired result
that all land shall become the proper
ty of the government without any re
turn to the owners, who have receiv
ed their title from the government
and for a long time have paid taxes
thereon, which taxes with a resonable
interest, not infrequently equals the
full value of the land.
The time to read the Morning En
terprise is at the breakfast table or
a little before.
The Ruler of Nepal Gives
A Baby Zoo to King George
Photos by American Press Association.
ONE of the penalties of being a king or a president, especially one ot
sporting proclivities, is the certainty of being overwhelmed with gifts
of animals. Colonel Roosevelt while he was president received bears
enough to say nothing of other wild beasts to stock a dozen me
nageries, and King George during his brief reign has made many additions
to the London zoo. His latest acquisitions are a collection of baby animals
presented to him by the maharajah of Nepal, in whose dominions the imperial
party had such successful sport during the royal sojourn in India. Two of
- the young animals they cannot be called little are shown in our Illustrations.
One is a baby elephant, which King George is seen inspecting as it . is
held by the attendants. The other is a young rhinoceros of the variety which
is plentiful in Nepal. This native state, which is described as "within the
Indian sphere of influence," enjoys a large measure of independence. A Brit
ish resident lives at the capital, but does not interfere with the internal affairs
of the country, which has an army of 45,000 men. The inhabitants are Mon
golian in type, though the ruling family is Hindu, and complimentary mis
sions are sent every five years to China. -

Shakespeare Was Too High For
CANAL MUST BE
FORTIFIER HE SAYS
President Taft Believes Cost is
Too Great to Leave it
Open to Attack.
That if we are to reap the fullest
benefit from the Panama canal, we
must fortify it and defend it against
the possible attacks of an enemy in
time of war, is the settled conviction
of President Taft, and he has gone on
record to this effect The Panama
canal means so much to the Pacific
coast states that there are few people
in Oregon who will not agree with
him.
In a speech, not long ago, President
Taft referred to the cruise .of the
battleship Oregon, when it steamed
for 12,000 miles along the sea coast
of two continents, from San Francis
co to Cuba, as being the one event in
our history which fastened the atten
tion of the people of the whole United
States upon the need for this great
waterway.
The president reviewed the treaties
between the United States and Eng
land, referring to this canal, and said,
that, by the terms of this compact,
the United States was to build the
canal and maintain its neutrality, but
nohing in these treaties would prevent
the United States from fortifying the
canal, or in ease of war would pre
vent it from closing its great water
way to the shipping of an enemy. The
Spooner Act of 1902 directed the presi
dent to build a canal and make proper
defenses. The treaty with Panama
expressly gives to the United States
power of fortification.
' Built for National Defense.
President Taft maintains that the
canal is being built to help us defend
the country, not to help an enemy at
tack it Even if a certain and prac
tical neutralization of the canal could
be effected by an agreement of all
nations, an enemy could then use the
canal to attack us in both oceans, just
as we propose to use it to defend
Copyright by Moffett.
PRESIDENT TAFT
ourselves. After expending approxi
mately five hundred million dollars
to make the national defense easier,
the president can see no justification
for surrendering at least one-half of
the military value of the canal by
giving the benefit of it to a nation
seeking to destroy the United States,
"The canal ought to defend itself,"
said the president, "and we ought to
have fortifications there powerful
enough to keep off the navies of any
nation that might possibly attack us.
It is said the fortifications are going
to cost fifty million - dollars. . This
is an error. The estimated cost of
fortifications is $12,000,000, which con
stitutes hardly more than two per cent
of the cost of the canal.
"It has also been said that it will
cost $5,000,000 a year to maintain it
This also is an error. I have consult
ed the war department and am advis
ed that the cost would not exceed
$500,000. This is an annual insurance
rate of a tenth of one per cent, and it
seems to me is not excessive, consid
ering that the gate locks of the canal,
if destroyed, would put this waterway
out of commission for two years and
the commerce of the whole world
would be made to suffer.
TAFT WOULD UTILIZE '
President Has Intelligent Plans for
Conserving National Resources.
Practical conservation of national
resources has been the object of
President Taft during his administra
tion and he is pledged to a like policy
for the future. He does not recom
mend the locking up of the great na
tional resources so that they may not
be used or developed, in order to turn
them over to future generations, but
i ''
he favors the 'Intelligent and careful
development of these great sources of
wealth and their conservation so that
they shall not be wasted by this gen
eration. His belief in practical conservation
is shown in his stand on reclamation,
when he recommended to congress
that bonds be issued to carry out
various reclamation projects prompt
ly, so that settlers might be relieved
from inconvenience and hardship. In
discussing the whole subject of con
servation, President Taft said:
"Withdrawal of government lands
from entry in the past has prevented
an irrevocable disposition of lands,
until methods for their proper use
can be formulated. . But it is of the
utmost importance that such with
drawals shall not be regarded as the
final step in the course of conserva
tion and the idea should not be adopt
ed that conservation is the tying up
of the national resources of the gov
ernment for indefinite withholding
from use and the remission to remote
generations, to decide what ought to
1911, by American Press Association.
PRESIDENT TAFT
be done with these means of promot
ing present general human happiness
and progress.
"Real conservation involves wise,
non-wasteful use in the present gen
eration, with every possible means of
preservation for succeeding genera
tions. Although the problem to se
cure this end may be difficult, the
burden is on the present generation
promptly to solve it and not to run
away from "it as cowards, lest in the
attempt to meet it we may make some
mistake. As I have said elsewhere,
the problem is how to save and how to
utilize, how to conserve and still dev
elop; for no sane person can contend
that it is for the common good that
Nature's blessings shall be stored
only for unborn generations.
"I beg of you, therefore, in your de
liberations and in your informal dis
cussions when men come forward to
suggest evils that the promotion cf
conservation is to remedy, that you
invite them to point out the specific
evils and the specific remedies; that
you invite them to come down to d
tails in order that their discussions
may flow into channels that shall be
useful, rather than into periods that
shall be eloquent and entertaining,
without shedding real light on the
subject. The people should be shown
exactly what is needed in order that
they make their representatives in
congress and the state legislature do
their intelligent bidding."
FAVORS AN INCOME TAX
President Taft Wants to Pass Consti
tutional Amendment.
President Taft's administration is
pledged to secure a constitutional
amendment providing for an income
tax. The president favors this tax as
an extraordinary measure. He said:
-"I believe on principle in a general
income tax. The only good arguments
against it are that it is inquisitorial
and that it offers a temptation to per
jury. But I would not resort to the
ordinary income tax, except in an
emergency . like war, when I would
have it graduated so that those citi
zens who had most at stake, Bhould
bear a correspondingly large share of
the burden of the common defense.
In time of peace, I would avoid temp
tation to perjury and would confine
the government to taxes that did not
Involve such inquisitorial methods in
their collection."
Party Will Get Together.
The Republican, party is the major
ity party- in Oregon and presidential
year offers a splendid opportunity to
get together. A Taft victory in April
will show the Democrats that the
party is united and intends no longer
to submit to the minority here at
home. Oregon Republicans will all
be under the same banner after April.
