Jan. 7. To the Editor.) Kindly allow me a few words In reply to your criticism of my communication an The Oregonian of the 4th Inst., upon the question of exempting church prop erty from taxation. My opposition to this exemption does not, as your remarks would seem to im p'y, spring from a spirit of opposition to religion. Quite the contrary- No one holds in more profound respect or in deeper reverence the subject of religion than does the writer of this article. He lielleves religion to be that true relation -which the finite sustains to the infinite, and which we, as fellow-croatures, sus tain to each other, and that the clearer nnd truer our conceptions are of this re lation, the more faithfully we live up to these conceptions, the more religion we have, and the more of religious inspir ation we receU-c. But this requires no church organizations, such as exist to day. The writer of this articles believes, further, that religion is the sublimest and grandest subject which can possibly en gross the mind and thought of man; also, that no human being should live in any other than a religious sense, or any other than a religious life; that in .the living such a life, man's truest happiness con sistsa life wherein man's physical nature is subordinated to his spiritual, and his -whole being brought Into unison or har mony with the great creator, and the -works of his creation. While there is happiness to be derived from the grati fication of the senses, he conceives man's highest and noblest to be in the devel opment of his spiritual nature. To be in harmony with the creator and with the vast works of his creation, he conceives to be the summum bonum of existence, and the highest source of enjoyment a human being can experience, in this Or any other world or worlds. This he considers the nd and .object of existence. .Entertain ing views of this nature, his opposition to the exemption of church taxation can Jiot well be ascribed to irreligious motives. To his mind, true religious views are one Thing, and church organizations quite an other. His views may be narrow, as you say, but they are none the less sincere and honest To many of your readers, it may be difficult to reconcile this, which lot them may .vrem a paradoxical posi tion, of being friendly to religion and at the same time inimical to church estab lishments. But this is mainly owing to education. To suoh, if any there be. The Oregonian favoridg me with the space, I -would be glad to endeavor to show how this can be, and in doing so furnish my reasons for thinking our churches of so little help in developing human progress; that they retard rather than help. My opposition to the exemption of church property Is not because I do not consider our churches representative of the true religious element. I should be equally opposed to exemption If I thought the reverse. 1 am opposed to the proposition, first, because I consider it unfair and un just; and, second, because I consider it contrary to the spirit of our institutions. It is making one portion of the communi ty, which is in no way interested, con tribute to the maintenance and support of the privileges enjoyed alone by the re maining portion. This, to me, seems un just. Were I a member of a church ex empted from taxation, I should not feel as though I was doing as 1 would like to le done by, were I to force, by law, a Mon-churchman to bear with me the ex pense of what is to me alone a privilege or an enjoyment. This, to me, would be selfish. To me it savors too much, as I Bald In my former article, of forcing the Entire community to support an estab-, llshcdf church!' whether It will or no. I Itnow The Oregonian says "no one's taxes arc Increased by exemption of church buildings, for chiirch buildings would not exist if taxed as private property." But liow The Oregonian tigures this out is past my comprehension. Let us suppose one-half of the property In thtsclty to be owned by the churches and exempt from taxation. Would not the other half have to be assessed double what it would other wise be were the entire city property as sessed? Would not the tax upon one-half have to be greater, by 100 per cent, than it would be If the ihole bore Its propor tion of the tax" Mr. McCamant said in his article that 5 per cent of the property of the city is exempt from taxation for i-hurch purposes. But it does not matter -whether the per cent be 3 or 50, or l-10th of 1 per cent what we are aiming to get at is the principle Involved and not the amount. Possibly I may misconstrue The Oregonian's meaning. Again, The Ore fionian says that only upon the ground of the churches doing police duty the render ing a public service for good can exemp tion from taxation, in their behalf, be iustUled But if this be sound doctrine, why not exempt the property of every other individual or society rendering- a public service for good? Where Is the line to be drawn? Is The Oregonian quite right in iylng our church buildings would not exist if taxed as private property? 2s exemption from taxation the inspiring thought and will which governs in the erection of our church edifices? Has fashion, or rivalry nothing to do with it? Take the new Congregational church in this city, for instance. Are we to under stand that that would not have been built but for this exemption? Or take the First Baptist? Was the exemption clause the deciding inllucnce which en tered into the erection of that structure? 1 can hardly think a congregation rich enough to build a $109,000 structure would be deterred or prevented from carrying out its plans by the item of taxes. You say, further, "the.ve ediilces produce an effect on his (man's)) intelligence and moral nature that mckes a constant in llucnce for the purUication of society and the elevation of humanity." I quite "agree with you that line architecture tends to this effect. butcanyou not countuponthe lingers of one of your hands all the thurch odlflcos in this city which in any way minister to man's higher nature? And, if yes. how about the balance of the church buildings iu this city, and in the state at targe? For this Is a state question and is not confined to Portland alone. Do you consider that the great bulk of the church property in both city and state tends to the ranking of a purifying, elevating influence? And, if this be an argument in favor of exempting church odiflcae?. why should it not apply equal ly well to all other line architectural ef forts In the city and state? If churches are to bo exempted on this ground, why should not other specimens of Hne architecture be also exempted. Take the Oregonian building, for in Mance. Why should not that be ex empted? There Is no purer or more per fect specimen of architecture in Port land than The Oregonian building, and if thurches are to be exempted upon this score, why nl exempt this building also? Again, you say, "every branch of art In all ages of the world owes Its develop ment to his (m&n'tO religious nature. The oontrolHng influence over the whole nature of mat. of this imagination that has produced the great art of the world. Is summed tip in the history of civiliza tion." Granted; but where does our high est civittxatkro come from? Does it come from the urwtiem. or does it come from the past hundreds and thousands of vtars ago? Where awl when did art raost flourish? Where do we look for Us highest oxprtften? From what age do ve draw the development in mathemati cal &.IMWG that, reaHy. which Includes all other sciences and has made their de velopment possible? We boast of our ad vancement under what we call this "glorious light of Christianity," but what have we to show for It? We are nothing but copyists. Take- architecture, for In stance, of which we have just been speak ing. Wc have to go back over two thou sand years for our models of today. There is scarcely a thing which we do today, unless it be the malting of a mowing ma chine, or something of this character, which was not executed as well. If not better, then than now. We puff ourselves up in our conceited imaginations over our wonderful advancement in the arts and sciences; but again I ask, what have we to show for it? For our originals, in most instances, we go back to a period antedating the birth of the Christian era. Your quotation from Milton is a very beautifully expressed sentiment, but it Is nothing but sentiment after all. There is no argument about It no logic It i3 simply an expression of Milton's feel ing. I have never seen anything In any church windows very awe-inspiring. If you had said from Portland Heights, the grandly majestic spectacle of Mounts Hood and St. Helen's rearing their snow capped peaks above the skies is one of the sublimest sights on earth a feast worthy of the gods you would, I think, have sh'en your readers something vast ly more "subduing" than any lines from Milton, beautiful as they might be. To me there is a jense of grandeur and sub limity imparted oy the view of these gi gantic manifestations of the creator's power, which no church windows, how ever beautiful, can ever Impart. In the conclusion of your criticism you say "Kvery person of tnlesensibillty must regret that the argument for taxation of houses of worship always runs into an assertion that churches are needless." But is this fair criticism? Would you have me saj- I thought them an advantage or a benefit if I thought them otherwise? The Oregonian is too fair to its correspond ents to have me say this. This question is a church subject and if I think I ought not to be taxed for their support, because I consider them a draw back to the world's progress. I ought to say so in words not to be misunderstood, and to be able to give my reasons, for thinking as 1 do. The best way always is to call a spade a spade. My views hae not been lightly taken. They are not screeds against churches because they are churches. I do not underestimate the good which the churches do, and in my opposition to exemption I am not influ enced by feeling. I consider that the harm they do more than offsets the good, and in this opinion I am as honest and sincere as The Oregonian is in taking a different view. My views are not based upon prejudice.' and they are the result of study and thought and founded, I be lieve, upon principle as solid as the ever lasting hills. J. R. REED.

PORTLAND, Jan. 7. (To the Editor.) The number of communications favoring Immigration which you have published within the last few months, no less than your editorials upon the subject, warrant the assumption that the average opinion of the people of Oregon favors an Increase of population through Immigration. We may also assume that the average opin ion, notwithstanding its component parts sprln? from various roots, represents the best intelligence of the people. Ergo, im migration is desirable. It Is due to the In telligence of those favoring immigration to suppose that they are more or less conscious of the truth that highly devel oped social conditions are impossible in a country sparsely populated, and that It Is their desire for better social condi tions, and their recognition that to be In touch with, and in Interdependence with the many, brings greater possibili ties of enjoyment than -Independence U touch only with a few. Jt Is this truth realized, but undeflnable by the masses of mankind, which Impels the trend of population from the country to towns and cities. Manifestly, Portland need have no concern for Its quota of the population of Oregon. The same causes thut lead to the Increased population of cities at the expense of the rural districts in other stater are at work here. It is likewise true that Portland's prosperity must de pend upon the productiveness of the coun try. Civilization began with the plow, and will doubtless end with the plow, as its greatest factor. It might, therefore, go without toying, that, most of all. Oregon needs more men to make farms and till them, more men to plant orchards of the apple, the pear, the peach, the prune, and the smaller fruits, more dairymen, and more men in every department of coun try life to draw from nature the bounti ful promise of a fertile soil and a pro pitious climate. It is our boast that we possess such a soil and such a climate, yet too many, we are inclined to think, are disinclined to a country life, and day wuges in town, with two or three rented rooms. Is preferred by the average family to a farm and farmhouse, all their own, in the country. In the fnce of these facts the problem of securing desirable immi grants for Oregon warrants more than a passing consideration. The attractions of the country are. for the greater part, what nature has given. Added to these there is a prospect of attaining to the measure of the indepen dence of the farmer, which is so much talked about and seems to be so little appreciated. On the other hand, the city possesses the attractions of civilization, among which are its social conditions, made possible by the ease and facility with which people can come together. Other advantages could be mentioned on both sides, but for the purposes of this article, which must not be prolix, those mentioned will suffice. In the light of these facts. It seems to me that if we could add, or make possible, some of the attractions of town life to the country, an abundant immigration would come to us and our own people would find country life more attractive. To do this we should be guided by the same practical rules observed in successful business un dertakings. A real estate man, for in stance, who was about to put an addi tion on the market, woukl lay out and build streets and make other Improve ments upon his addition. Might it not be good economics for the state to build good public roads and bridges throughout Oregon? There are few good roads in any of the new states of the Union, and Oregon is not blessed with more than its share of them. The endurance of bad public roads Is a part of the price, seldom taken Into account, which wc pay for rail roads, la fact. It may be doubted if one native American in Ui born west of the Mississippi river ever saw a really first class wagon road, such as may be found In some of the Eastern states and are common in lSurope. Good roads shorten distance: proximity to neighbors makes meetings frequent; frequent meetings make social intercourse: social intercourse leads to the betterment of social condi tions. I may be permitted to say. in paren thesis, that this is in tio sense akin to tlie Coxey plan. It would be bad eco nomics for the state to build roads sim ply to give Us citizens employment. Their building should be justliled apart from this. It is thought to be wise in real estate men to offer special inducements for mak ing valuable improvements. Might it not be well for the state to exempt all or cer tain valuable country Improvements from taxation for a term of 39 years or more Nature is the foundation of all culture; but she hi stern even in her best moods, and an environment of natural conditions is only temporarily attractive. The rug ged landscape Inspires the painter and the poet; but means to the farmer hard work. The migrations of man. like all othei i movements, must continue to be on the lines of least resistance. Let us remove all resisting conditions which a sound, practical judgment will warrant, and then advertise Oregon's resources and advant ages in a practical manner, as a business man would advertise. To be more spe cific, the advantages of our soil and cli mate for dairy farming should be adver tised in the leading dalrymens papers o! the Eastern. Middle, and "Western states. Fruitgrowers should be reached through the columns of their papers; apiarists, through theirs; farmers and breeders, through theirs; and the general public, through immense special editions of the best papers of Oregon. To the reader who is sufficiently inter ested to ask. "How shall We do all this," I will answer, let us return to our real estate man and we will find that the cost of improvements is by him assessed against the" property improved pro rata as to benefits given. Corner lots and others most benefited are held at higher prices than back lots or lots less bene fited. In the end the purchaser pays the eost of the improvements which induced him to invest his money. So, also, owners of land lying in immediate and near prox imity to a proposed rpad should pay a tax in proportion to the proposed benefit to ace'rue to them. Inasmuch as a good public wagon road In any part of the state is a benefit to every part of the state, a general tax would be justified to meet a small part of the cost of building roads and bridges, but the major part of the expense should be borne by landholders along the line of such roads. It might be more appropriately said that they should advance the cost of such roads and bridges, for they would be amply repaid by the use of such Improvements, or In case of sale, would recoup themselves by putting a higher price upon the land sold. "But how," asks the interested reader, "can you justify an exemption of im provements from taxation?" To which I reply, by the same reasoning, the same justice, equity and self-interest which leads Individuals to pay for benefits con ferred. . Oregon, we believe, is unsur passed by any state or country in its natural advantages for dairy-farming. Yet the state does not produce sufficient of dairy products for home- consumption. Hence, more dairymen and the best breeds of dairy cattle are wanted. Under pres ent laws, the better stock a man brings Into the state, or breeds here, the higher he Is taxed, or, in other words, the heav ier he is fined for doing the very thing the state desires him to do. The fruit grower who plants an orchard has to pay an annually increasing fine for .several years before he can expect any return for his mvestlment and labor. Yet he has done a good thing for his neighborhood and for the state. In a line, let us invite immigrants by our acts as well as by our words; and above all let us no longer repel them with statutory threats of lines for doing good to the state and to the neighborhood In which they may cast their lot. I am unable to say whether, under our constitution, all I have suggested may be lawfully done, but constitutions do not long stand in the vay of an Intelligent and free people. Constitutions are made to be changed. C. A. ROHRABACHER. NEWFOUNDLAND'S POOR Demand Made by Them for Brend or Work. ST. JOHN'S. N. F., Jan. 8. A mob of unemployed men proceeded today to the British cruiser Tourmaline, now in port here, and a deputation representing them interviewed the warship's captain, de manding bread or work, and asking whether he would prevent their obtaining food by force. In reply, the captain prom ised them that he would write to Gover nor O'Brien and other executive authori ties about their representations. He then advised them to disporse, telling them to return tomorrow, when he- would be pre pared to give them an answer. On learn ing what .the captajn had. said, the mob dispersed.- If. however, work or food is not forthcoming tomorrow, the conse quences, it is apprehended, will be serious. Governor O'Brien this afternoon gave his assent to all the bills dealing with financial questions which the colonial leg islature has just passed. The bill remov ing the disabilities of politicians convicted of bribery has been reserved for the Brit ish imperial government's assent. On the arrival here of the steamer Silvia, from Halifax, the Bank of Montreal officials now here received $230,000 in specie, beside paper sufficient to establish a circulation of $1,000,000. Their bank opens a branch house here Wednesday. MUNICIPAL KLECTIONS. The Religions Iknuc Riftxed iu Some Cnniidiun Cities. TORONTO. Jan. 7. The municipal elec tions today passed off quietly throughout Ontario. In some constituencies the Prot estant Protective Association conducted a campaign on strict religious lines, but in the great bulk this Issue was not raised, publicly, at least. So far the results re ceived indicate that the religious issue cut no great figure. Some towns, villages and rural communities report successes of the Protestant Protective Association, but in nine-tenths of the dispatches no mention Is made of the organization as a factor. In this city the campaign was brief, but act ive and very exciting. Mayor Kennedy, a candidate for a second term, was opposed by ex-Mayor Fleming, the latter being de feated last year by a majority of 45O0. He made a vigorous raid this year on the in activity of Mayor Kennedy, condemning him for his failure to keep the promises made prior to last year's election. So close is the vote that at midnight the complete returns give Mayor Kennedy a majority of but 12 votes, and it may require an of ficial recount before a decision is reached. At Hamilton, last year, the protective as sociation's candidate swept the city with a majority of 1500. Today he was re-elected by 256. At Niagara Falls the Protes tant Protective Association was very, much in evidence, and returned most of their candidates. Americans Released". WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. The depart ment of state is advised by the American minister to Nicaragua. Lewis Baker, that three of the five Americans who were ac cused of lynching a native at Matagatpa, and declared innocent by the confession Of others, were released Novembor IS last, and that the two remaining Americans, Dr. Gtlman and Fred Hoppe. would have their trial about the middle of December. "Westward the star of empire takes Its way." All over the country Dr. Price's Baking Powder leads. He Know. the Murderer. CLEVELAND, Jan. 7. There was sen sational testimony brought out in thw coroner's investigation of the mysterious murder of General Passenger and Freight Agent Caven, of the Valley road, which occurred some time ago. Walter I. Shupe, a well-known attorney, testified that he knew Caven's murderer, and could put his hand on him at any time. He refused point blank, however, to give the name, saying the party was his client. It was brought out that Caven had been much in the society of a married woman, whose husband applied for a divorce on account of the Intimacy. A man was employed to watch the pair and obtain conclusive evi dence, and wound Caven slightly, if pos sible. The shot went to Caven's vitals, and he died almost Instantly. Attorney Shupe probably will be placed in jail for eon tempt, unless- he divulges the name de sired. Fntalltie.H From Snovrxliilcs. PARIS. Jan. 7. In addition to the ava lanche at Orlu, in the canton of Alx les Thermes, Pyrenees, Saturday, there has been a similar accident at Bazerques, in the carilon of Aude. department of Arlege This avalanche kjlled three persons and seriously injured three others. In addl- tion, numbers of small hamlets have heen I overwhelmed with snow and avalanches and .many houses have been swept away j In the mountain districts of the-southwest ana east ot .trance, ine innaoitants were generally warned and escaped, but there have been several fatalities in addition to those already recorded. In the isle of Cor sica there has been great loss to live stock, owing to the heavy snow, and com munication between Ajaccio and Bartla has been cut off. o COURT AT OREGON CITY Motion for n. New Trial in the Hesse Licbc Dumncre Case Tomorrovv. OREGON CITY. Jan. 7. Circuit court reconvened here today for a session of two weeks. Bob Garthorne and George Powers were on hand to be tried for swindling Chinamen on a bogus opium deal, but their trial was put over till the April term on account of the absence of material witnesses. Arguments on the motion for a new trial in the Hesae-Liebe damage case will be heard Wednesday. A decree of foreclosure for $1078 was taken by default In the case of Ida F. Cole against Charles Stewart and W. II- H. Samson, and J. T. Apperson took judg ment .against Thomas M. Miller, Mary E. Barlow and Margaret Pilsbury for $1475, by default, in a foreclosuie suit. The case against .William Wallens, for practicing dentistry without a license, will be up for- trial tomorrow. At the adjourned jreeting of the city council this evening there was a pro test against the payment of the bill for printing the ballots for the recent city election and the council finally rejected the extra amount caused by the double rrinting in compliance with the man damus issued by Judge Hurley. The sum is only f3, but it gave opportunity for very pointed expressions of opinion on the part of those who were opposed to the recorder's interpretation of his duty. Councilmen Cooke and Meldrum were appointed to act with the city attorney In revising the ctiy charter. Among the amendments suggested was one changing the limit for the tax levy from 5 mills to 7. and one to make assessments for street impiovements payable in install ments. The council will consider these matters next Monday night. A man who was trying to purchase a revolver to defend himself against two other men, who he declared were trying to destroy him, was arrested this even ing and locked in the city jail. He said he was worth a million dollars ;i short time ago In Spokane, but that he had been robbed of all his property and his persecutors were now trying to take his life. He" would not give his name. He was a well-dressed man, about T5 years of age. He walked into town and was shivering with the cold and fright when picked up by the police. Xesri) Troubles in the South. MOBILE, Ala.. Jan. 7.
