D. Xilojd. Hjenry D. Lloyd, of "Boston, addressed the Portland Economic -League last1 night at Unitarian Chapel. His subject was, "Taxation Newest England." The lec ture "was a description of the political and economic democracy of ICew Zealand. He spolce of the governmental system in that country as the highest evolution of democracy that the world presents. Tne chapel was well filled with auditors, and he held them In close attention for nearly two fcours. The lecturer spoke fromctual knowl edge of political conditions in the coun try, gained from personal intercourse with them. He drew an Elysium picture of tne peace; enjoyment and contentment of ttfe Inhabitants. It was not his intention to Ignore the imperfections of the system; ie said that the people of JCew Zealand have their serious problems in politics Just as these perplexities exist elsewhere. But his painting of the picture- was per haps a little too, .rich in color. He told how splacing -was the panacea, but -did siot toy enough of the fly in the ointment. It was made plain by his remarks tnat 4he New Zealanders have solved some very troublesome dilemmas, or at least have progressed further in their solution than other nations. This was satisfying to his audience, and they highly appreci ated the address, and yet the difficulties of the system were smoothed over In a way that did not draw so strongly from doubt as the lecture might otherwise have done. Perhaps he did not have sufficient time; and perhaps his assurance that the methods of government were eminently successful he regarded sufficient to meet skepticism engendered from the ever-prevailing fact of increasing pressure of pop ulation on land; from the formidable doubt about the efficacy of the single-tax system, and from the many other ques tions which the practice of individualism Is waiting for the theory of socialism to demonstrate satisfactorily. The address was such as would have furnished ex treme socialists with a large ammunition 4 of facts with which to tortlfy their the ory, but comparatively few of that faith were present. The audience -was com posed anostly of free-minded citizens of both sexes, who were conscious of exist ing abuses In the American system, and or needed remedies. An Orderly Revolution. Mr. Lloyd described the democratic pro cess in Jtfew Zealand as a gradual one. It 1s In no way radical or subvertive of vested rights. The present political and industrial status has; heen achieved al most within the past 11 .years. In this time a large part of the private land and capital of the country has passed into the -hands of the government, by equitable process, and there has been a dlstribu tlpn among the people of property and re sources. Railroads are run for the bene fit of producers, by the government, and not tor surplus revenue. Labor disputes are settled by compulsory arbitration. "Women -share equally In all privileges. And there is a sjstem of pensions for aged citizens. The whole array of gov ernmental functions, according to the speaker, is so admirable, the entire gamut of toleration among Individuals is so harmonious, that New Zealand is only short of heaven on earth. The selfish ness of citizens, their Inevitable competi tions and discords, last night -were left out of the music. The speaker hinted broadly that America might profit by Imi tating New Zealand. He said the citizens In the antipodal- land are more happy and more contented than any in the world. Mr- Lloyd was introduced hy Judge A, P. Sears, of 4ihe executhe committee- of the league. The lecturer began by giving an introductory description of New Zea land, its superb 'scenery, delightful cli mate and fertile soil. That country Is ex actly .on the rather side pf the globe, in the temperate zone, and is one of the most beautiful places on earth. The people in possession of the land are Anglo-Saxon, being largely .English, with admixtures of Scotch and Irish. They are well fitted to carry opt the destiny of their race, and are well.praced to do it. The natives popu lation has been and Is treated with all deference, possesses practically the same rights of citizenship as the new race, and Is on equal terms with the latter In fche government. The -new population is the mosthomogeniDUs, compact and equalized democracy In the world. Itls not one or Utopian socialists, hut of matter-of-fact men and women. Economic Difficulties. The speaker told of the economic diffi culties of 1S90, when the people were sub jected to the evils .of unequal social pres sure. Land and capital monopoly pre vailed, and industry was In the control f a money ring. Soup kitchens, bank ruptcies, low prices and unemployed men were features of the general despair. Class was arrayed against class and strikes were common. After the next election there was a change. An entire industrial reconstruction followed. It was charac terized by entire justice and moderation, however. The system of taxation was revolutionized. Taxes were laid -upon land and made progressive. The single tax be came the aim of new policy. The method of doing public work by contract was as far as possible abolished. The large es tates were acquired by purchase and di vided Into tracts for those persAis -without land. A new tenure was devised whereby the land was leased Instead of sold. . The government made itself an employ ment agency to secure work for citizens, and adopted arbitration for settlement of disputes'. For six "years there has not een -a -single labor strike. The govern ment lends monev at a low rate of In terest. The common rate before had been 10 and 12 per cent; now it is 5 and (Tper cent. The government also guarantees producers a market for their exported goods, and itself undertakes the function of finding a market. An income tax is also in force. Men of small income are exempt, and. the tax J3 a progressive one. The object of taxes Is not alone to pay expenses of government, "but to adjust them to the industrial prog Cress of the people Railroads are managed entirely by the '-government. The function or the Toads $6 fLhe public convenience, and they are Slot operated for surplus revenue. Even It facilities are not up to date, the speak jcr thought this was compensated hy the fairness of management of the roads. There are ro airbrakes, nor dining-cars; but-wbat the shipper pays therallroad Sets. Rebates and discrimination are un 3cnown. Unemployed -citizens are trans 3rted at low rates. Rates are calculated eb as to encourage exports. The whole jrystem-of; government-supervision .is -conducted with leniency toward the poor. 5mproements .or personal property are pot taxed. The lecturer of ten jdiverted is auditors With anecdotes and examples and spoke interestingly of the simple life of the peo ple. His speech was smooth, deliberate End unhesitating. At the conclusion of his remarks, lie answered several nes--lions from the audience. Mr. Lloyd is an 6-uthor of several fcocial treatises, among them being "Wealth Against Common Wealth," "Labor, Co-Partnership," "A Country Without Strikes." The third of the league's series of lec tures will be given October 22,by Thomas K Strong. His subject will he "Municipal Ownership." Will -Give Her -Mansion to Charity. SAIC TEAKCISCO.

I Huntington has announced,. tne unronicje says,--tnat the Huntington house at California and Taylor streets will Tiever be ?Drlvatlvoccurjlpii .arai; and is eventually -to be given over to I charity, presumably to some hospital. The Hopkins an Stanford mansions, Among the most? splendid of the pajacs that top the California-street ?hill, al ready belong to the people, the one through the 'University of" California; the other through the Stanford University. Thus three of the four men who made their fortunes out of the Southern Pa cific have In the end made over thlr homes to the public. COMING ATTRACTIONS. "The Wedding: Day" at Cor'dray's To night.

Of all the musical comedy extravaganzas which George W. Lederer has contributed to the stage in recent years, there is none which has ever Impressed theater-goers so .rfavorably as ""The Belle of 'New York." This has been forcibly demon strated by the crowded theaters every n here .the piece nas been presented. It not alone tells a story which keeps the average auditor In constant anticipation but It is filled with bright dialogue, catchy sayings and full of humor that holds one in constant ""merriment from the rise of the curtain on the first act to the -fall on the last.

Circnlt Court Is Asked to .Make- a ' Fro Forma Decision in the Matter Court Notes. A demurrer was filed yesterday tjb the mandamus petition of Rose F. Burrell, Milton W. Smith and W. R. Mackenzie, officers of the Free Kindergarten Asso ciation, against the Board of School Di rectors, which was submitted without ar gument. The petition asks that the mem bers of the School Board and the Schoo; Clerk show cause why they do not pay over to the Kindergarten Association $4247 and such other moneys as may be In their hands applicable for the maintenance of kindergartens. , Judge Frazer took the matter under ad- T vlsement and will consult with the other Judges before rendering a decision. Judge Frazor states that as he understood it, the School Board is not unwllllnsr to pay over the money to the Kindergarten Association, but. desires to be protected by a judicial opinion. A decision over ruling the demurrer would be one in favor of the paymept,of the, money. School Director J. Vt Beach stated yes terday that the directors would hold a meeting to decidewhether the case should be appealed to the Supreme Court. If the decision of the State (Jiroult Court is favorable, and no appeal is taken, that would end the, matter and the Kinder garten Association would receive the much-needed cash It Is stated that the matter of a pro forma decision was broached to Judge' Frazer on Saturday, and he was not .willing to consent, paying that it would' establish a precedent. Directors Thomp son and , Williams have heretofore been opposed to turning over Ue money until a legal decision and order has been se cured. Directors -Wittenberg and Sitton have favored letting the association have the mpney and Director Beach, while be ing fully aware of the legal obstacles, has been "on the fence" so to speak. - Sued for Damages. David Coulter, wlio was arrested sev eral days ago on complaint of HI D. Win ters on a charge .of stealing- 50 cents worth of firewood, yesterday filed suit against Winters for 510,000 damages, in' the i State Circuit Court. Coulter had an examination in the Municipal Court, and was discharged by Judge Cameron. The plaintiff in his complaint' avers that the accusation made against him by the de fendant, was false and malicious, and that he was damaged in his reputation and business. John JDltchburn. appears as the attorney in the. case. Winters is a prominent resident of East Portland, and he appears to be unfortu nate in the matter of damage suits Some years ago. he .was sued by May Osmun NIVAL AND.

Hazelwood BOTH PHONES 154 for breach of promise. The case was tried three times, and on each occa sion the verdict against him increased a little, instead of diminishing: Finally his property was sold to compel him to pay a judgment of $10,500 and costs, and he subsequently redeemed the property. 1 Appealed to Supreme Conrt. The suit of J. Thorburn Ross, trustee, against the City of Portland, in which Judge Cleland held Saturday that a mort gage tax of the city is a Hen against the property covered by the mortgage, has been appealed by the plaintiff to the Supreme Court. The mortgages in ques tion were on property of P. A. Marquam, and the tax was for the year 1S31, amount ing to 51900. Prior to the filing ot the appeal the complaint was amended to pre sent another point, and especially referring to the particular property-involved. The amendment was that In tne case of the State of Oregon vs. Wright, de cided by the Supreme Court in January, 1S87, the court held that no city charter could be amended by a general law; that in November, 1S93, In the case of Morrow vs. Crosby, the Supreme Court held that a general law could amend a city char ter, thus overruling Its previous decision. It Is alleged that the mortgages were made after the first decision, and before the second decision, and that the latter Is void as to these mortgages, made while the first decision was in force, and the tax levied Tvlthin that time. A demurrer to the amended complaint was filed and sustained and the case will be taken up to the higher court at once. The amendment does not apply to the main question that "the mortgage tax I a Hen, etc. Transferred to Federal Court. The case of Max Moses vs. the Denver Ac Rio Grande Railway Company has been transferred from the Circuit .Court or Multnomah County to the United States Court. Moses is a commercial traeler who was Injured in an accident on the Denver & Rio Grande Railway, and brings his suit here as the defendant corporation is doing business in Multnomah County. His complaint states that while he was traveling In a Pullman car, on the Den ver & Rio Grande Railway, occupying an upper berth, a large rock was caused to be thrown or fell on the top of the car, crushing it in and seriously Injuring him. He sues to recover 56000 damages for loss of business Incurred on account of the injuries he received, and for 560,000 damages on account of his Injuries. Patterson Was Xot Implicated. The trial of Fred Love on a charge of rqbbery of 5S0 from Frank Johnson, was continued before Judge Sears, and a jury yesterday. The principal e idence against the defendant was given by Mrs. Mar garet Dalton, who stated that Love made certain admissions to her, telling her also that she would have all kinds of money If she would stick to him. The defense will endeavor to break down her testi mony. When the evidence for the prose cution was all In, Judge Sears dismissed the case against R. W. Patterson, who was jointly Indicted with Love, on fie ground that there was no evldtnce what ever connecting Patterson with, the affair. The trial will be concluded today. Court IVotcs. The Portland Trust 'Company has sued George W. and Mathe Freemari for 5!00 and has caused lot 1, block 78, Holladay's addition, to be attached Emma Stanley has commenced proceed ings in the State Circuit Court against Lee Stanley, for a divorce, on the ground "of desertion and cruel treatment.
