Wilson on Immigration. '
"If we can hit upon a standard
which admits every voluntary immi
grant," says Prof. Wilson, in an ad
dress in New York, "and exclude
those who have not come of their own
motion, with their own purpose of
making a home and a career for them
selves, but have been induced by
steamship companies or others to
come in order to pay the passage
money, then we will have what we
will agree upon, as Americans." This
was addressed particularly to editors
of foreign language newspapers, many
of whom were present at the gather
ing. As a presidential candidate,
Prof. Wilson finds his recent views
on the immigration issue very troub
lesome. There is a wide divergence between
the professor's present position oh
immigration and that of which he
held a few years ago. In one of Eis
historical works he attacked the Ital
ian, Hungarian and Polish incomers,
and said that they were less decira
ble accessions than were the Chi
nese. As that was intended to bea
serious work, he undoubtedly express
ed matured convictions upon it.
Speaking in cold blood,, without any
expectation at that time that he
would ever be a candidate for any po
litical office, he must have meant ex
actly what he ?aid. Nobody paid any
special cttention to " Prof Wilson's
words in u:s lnsirv v..u: year or
so ago, aitr being elected governor
of New Jersey began to be mention
ed in connection wirh the presidential
candidacy. Then his expressions rose
up to embarass him. Since the nomi
nation has come to lam his words
are not on y embarassing. bin . they
are jiurv.ul to the jlemocratic party
whose standard bearer he chances to
be.
Immi'fa' ' r. 's onlv one the sev
eral lv.tsirs on wnjMi Prof. Wilson
is compelled- to m which
he siui ill othor conne lions before
he enta'fctl ptll l if s He attacked
members of 'n' i r -u'c-n in n talk
two-or three e;irs auo .n I eiiitr lem
were outside in these organisations
He has besn on two or three sides
of the quev:ioii of 'he initiative, the
refereudum and the recall. Just hat
side he holds on these subjects at
this moment is 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 on
any important question if 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 prohobly will be, his
fickleness and variability will get a
large part of the blame for it.
FORUM OF THE PEOPLE
ASKS ABOUT GOVERNOR WEST
OREGON CITY, Sept. 15. (Editor
of the Enterprise) Will you please
inform me what has become of Gov
ernor West. Is he 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
Jidn'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
assesment and taxes for 1910. He had
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
his tax receipt, and the complete ex- (
emption of his personal property and j
improvemtns woma nave reauceu ins
tax from $24.70 to $18.56, a net sav
ing of $5.14. He said one of his
neighbors had 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 instances w'-iare
the land is in the name of tho I us-
band or wife, and their personal i-i op-
erty is assessed and listed separate
ly from the land in tbe personal ; 4op
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 mak
ing up and printing the Single Tax
Roll.
Mr. Evans says the County Single
Tax Bill is worth voting for, and the
Graduated Specific Tax and Exempt
ion Amendment is still better for the
farmers. I hope you can give this
space in your columns.
Sincerely yours,
W. S. U'REN. .
U'REN VS. STARKWEATHER
OREGON CITY, Sept. 16 (To the.
Editor) Mr. Starkweather's letter
last week' is interesting but his per
sonal history is not ' an argument
against single tax. Of course, he
made every possible effort to dodge
all personal and future taxes on that
Portland lot, which gives him more
money for rent every year without
work, nearly four times over, than he
ever earned by useful labor.
But Mr. Starkweather has another
think coming about the Graduated
Single Tax Amendment. A part of
that amendment was prepared ex
pressly to catch his particular kind
of tax dodgers. The Graduated Tax
is a specific tax levied against own
ers because they own certain aggre
gate values, and cannot be shifted on
to the tenants. If he is willing to pay
his share of the taxes of Clackamas
County, why is he so anxious to make
his tenants pay his taxes in Portland?
Isn't it funny that Mr. Starkweath
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 citizens would be ruined if the law
should exempt their Improvements
and personal property from taxes? He
is an educated man and if he had any
truth or justice on his side he would
not waste time calling names. As to
the word "parasite" it would seem
to me that the man who lives on the
labor of others and gives no service
of any kind in return is very near to
being within the dictionary definition
of that word. The trouble with Mr.
Starkweather -and all of his class is
that they know that they would have
to pay more taxes 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, yours , . . .

HEAVY BLAST SAVES:
LIVES OF MANY TROUT
The heaviest blast ever known in
Oregon City saved the lives of thous
ands of fish. Henry O'Malley, Super
intendent of the Bureau of Fisheries
of Oregon and Southern Washington,
has a large fish pond near his home
at Second -and Jefferson Streets. The
fish, consisting mostly of trout, began
to die about three weeks ago as a re-'
suit of the water becoming too warm
for them. River water was directed
into the pond, but it did not aid the
fish, and Mr. O'Malley was at his
wit's end. . A big blast, however, at
the quarry of the Oregon Engineer
ing & Construction Company, chang
ed the course of a large spring into
the pond, furnishing more than
enough cool water for the fish. The
flow of water is several inches in dia
meter and the pond is already over
flowing. One of Mr. O'Malley's
neighbors says the water is overflow
ing his property, and he insists that
something be done at once or his loss
will be large. Mr. O'Malley, howev
er,' is delighted that the fish have
been saved. More ' than two tons of
giant powder were used in the blast,
which shook the entire city. ,

UMPIRE JOHNSTONE USED
SAME WHISK BROOM FOR
TWELVE AARS.
Jim Johnstone, the umpire,
bought a new whisk broom the
other day, the same being for
the purpose of brushing off the
plate. This item is interesting
only to show the length of life of
a whisk broom. Johnstone bad
used his old one for twelve years.
It was worn down until the
straws were only an inch long
and had long since ceased to be
too short for clothes brushing
purposes. But for umpiring a
whisk broom will last twelve
years ynless it should happen to
be stolen.
