Manager Fred Ely, Deacon Van Buren,
tJake Thlelman, Charley Shields, Ike
'Butler, Andy Anderson and Danny Shea,
all that are left of the Browns, returned
to Portland yesterday. The breaking
up of the team took place at Sacramento
Sunday night after the last game of the
season bad been played. Before Phil
Nadeau and Ike Francis departed for tho
East, Manager Ely had them attach
their signatures to a Brown contract for
1SOL Van Buren, of course, will be seen
in his favorite garden next season.
Neither Butler, Thlelman nor Shields
have been signed as yet, but It Is ex
pected that Manager Ely will hand them
contracts to sign within the next few
days.
Manager Ely has not got over the deal
that Umpire Levy handed the Browns
last Sunday, and he declares that he will
make every effort possible to make his
protest stick.
"Levy was determined to land Fisher
in second place," said Ely last night,
"and when the boys jumped on him for
his rotten work he only laughed at them
and said that Sacramento needed the
games to land in second place. Rube's
work was something fierce. The kick I
made against him was not owing to tho
fact that the runner from third scored,
but because he insisted In sending Truck
Eagan to first on the ground that Shea
had interfered with him. Just how he
figured that a catcher could interfere
with a batter is more than I or any other
ball-player could fathom. But he did
it, and, of course, it was the means of
our losing the game. The attendance at
Sacramento was not a corporal's guard.
At San Francisco and at Los Angeles,
in spite of the counter attractions, the
attendance was very good."
Just as soon as the affairs of the club
have been settled Ely will start East in
search of players. He has a line on a
number of good players, but he is not di
vulging the names at this time. Since
it became known in tho East that he had
assumed the management of the Browns,
ball-players with whom he has played
or who know him have written for berths
with the Browns. If his salary allow
ance would permit it, he could without
half trying sign a bunch of stars that
would set the Portland fans wild with
Joy. He can sign the only' Rube Wad
dell. but he is a little low about talking
business with the actor-ball-player. He
wants to see and have a talk with hln
first. With Nadeau, Freeman, Francis
and Van Buren as a nucleus, he has a
mighty good team started. He has a
line on a rlghtfielder who Is at present
in fast company, but who has written
Ely that he wants to play on the Coast
during 19W. Ely has alBO a line on a
shortstop. Holllngsworth will not be
a Brown next year. The league magnates
have placed a ban pn him and he cannot
play on the Pacific Coast again. He was
on the train which brought the players
North. His wife and two children were
vlth him, but somewhere along the line
he got off the train and was left. His
wife, with the children, came on to Port
land, where she has a sister living.
Thlelman will leave- in a-few days tor
St. Cloud, Minn., where he goes to at
tend the wedding of his brother. He VKlll
prdbably "Winter there. Shields is un
decided whether he will return to his
home in Memphis or remain In Portland.
Butler will visit his farm at Ashland
y o Vmrt tiirift and then take a trio
East. Van Buren and Anderson have
planned a great hunting trip on their
timber claims.

MT. ANGEL COLLEGE FOOTBALL
TEAM.
Captain of Albany College Team.
ALBANY. Or., Dec. L (Special.) John
L. Griffith was today elected captain of
the Albany College football team for the
season of 1904. The election was unani
mous, the honor being given to the sturdy
left tackle both because of the excellent
work he has performed on the team dur
ing tho past two most successful years
in the football history of Albany College,
and because of his eminent fitness for the
position.
Griffith is very popular among tho
townspeople, and among the football
players, and this, added to his marked
ability as a brilliant football player, gives
promise of a successful squad under his
leadership during the season of 1904. Grif
fith is a sophomore in the college.
Hart Gets Decision Over Carter.
BOSTON, Dec L After a hard-fought
contest Marvin Hart, of Louisville, was
given the decision over Kid Carter, of
Brooklyn, in a 15-round bout at tho Cri
terion Athletic Club tonight. The fight
was stopped by Referee Buckley within
one minute of the time limit, when Car
ter was nearly out. -
Carter was knocked down several times,
but Hart's blows seemed to lack force,
and tho Brooklyn boy always arose be
fore the ten seconds expired.
Columbia Eleven Won't Come West.
NEW YORK. Dec L Harry M. Fisher,
manager of the Columbia football team
of New York, announced today that all
negotiations for the Western trip of the
team during the Christmas holidays had
been abandoned. It had been proposed to
play the University of California and
Leland Stanford University, but as neither
college would consent to play a return
game here next season it was thought
best to give up the project.

NO LIE E0R A SHILLING.
But Eight for a Dollar When It's a
Taxation Matter.
ASHLAND, Nov. 30. (To the Editor.)
In a recent number of The Oregonlan
there was printed a news item to the cf
feet that many members of the Legisla
ture were in favor of repealing that
clause in the present tax law, which abol
ishes the old exemption of $300. That
might be a popular move, for the aver
age citizen Is always glad to have a ?300
exemption from taxes made In his favor
whenever the Assessor calls on him. In
fact he is very apt to make that exemp
tion cover all of his visible personality
If it is a possible thing, and the Assessor
is not apt to quarrel with him for politi
cal reasons If no others.
Thei'e is, however, a question of prin
ciple and. expediency Involved which goes
a good deal deeper than the surface, and
the Legislature undoubtedly decided wise
ly last Winter In abolishing all exemptions.
It always seems a pity to take a step
backwards In the science of good govern
ment, especially after legislators have
had tho moral courage to take advanced
ground which may be temporarily unpop
ular. In this connection It seems worth
while to consider the reasons for and
against exemption from taxes. Exemp
tions are undoubtedly favored by men of
small means as reducing their share o
the burden of taxes, though they gener
ally forget that where the gross exemp
tions throughout the state are large, that
the rate on the property actually taxed
is so much the higher. Of course that
does not offer the man who by means of
the exemption, either fairly or deceit
fully, escapes all taxes. That is where
the question of expediency comes in In al
lowing any exemptions.
Everyone knows that the general prop
erty tax as It is administered In the
states of the union, 19 a direct encour
agement to evasion, lying and perjury.
Invisible personality Is concealed and vis
ible personality Is undervalued wherever
possible. There can be no question but
that all exemptions tend to encourage the
undervaluation of vlslblo property. That
is not only bad In Itself, but it affects
the valuation of all property, for the
most honest men In a community will
not agree to a valuation of their prop
erty which Is excessive as compared with
valuations which permit, through fcrge
exemptions, many citizens to escape3 all
taxes. The result Is that the smaller the
amount of taxable property returned, the
higher the rate of taxation, which in
turn undoubtedly tempts men to conceal
their property, and He about it. Of
course exemptions are not to blame for
all the trouble, but they do decrease valu
ations of all property which Increases the
rate, which in turn makes the taxpayer
perjure his soul to escape. On the other
hand It is certain that where valuations
as assessed are large, and the rate lower,
men will not struggle so hard to escape.
.Many & man will not lie for e shilling
who will tell eight lies for a dollar, and
persuade himself that he is doing God's
service. So much for the moral effect of
exemption from taxes, especially as large
a one as $300.
Of course It Is claimed that an exemp
tion favors those who are least able to
pay, but any fair assessment those who
have little are taxed but little. Accept
ing the principle as correct that every
citizen of a state having a representa
tive government is an integral port of the 1
political entity, each citizen Is In duty
bound to contribute according to his abil
ity to the support of his state. There is
no more justice in the poor man asking
to be relieved of his small tax than In
the rich man evading his larger contribu
tion. A request of that sort is a plea for
charity; no more, no less. The American
citizen does not ask for charity of his
government. In time of war he gives his
health or his life if need be; in time of
peace he does his duty, if tho appeal la
made clear to him. Every Legislature
which attempts to coddle the man of
small means by remitting his taxes cul
tivates dishonesty. That sounds harsh,
maybe, but the facts Justify the state
ment. It was the old Idea that the state
and the citizen were separate creatures
and had no mutual Interests, except such
as were made by contract. There was a
French king whose proud boast was that
he was the state. It was his minister of
finance who described the art of taxation
as consisting "in so plucking the goose
(the people) as to procure th largest quan
tity of feathers with the least possible
amount of squawking." Following that
idea was the theory of taxation for pro
tection which amounts to the Insurance
Idea of giving part of a property to have
the balance protected by the officers and
courts of the state. That idea has passed
away, only one of tho modern authorities :
on taxation, the late David A. Wells, j
maintaining Its justice In his "Theory j
and Practice of Taxation." Professor H.
C Adams in his "Science of Finance" in r
discussing the theory of purchasing pro
tection by paying taxes suggests several
objections; first, that it implies that the
state is something separate from the body
of citizens; second, that It implies that
the citizen may refuse to purchase pro
tection, and so escape payment; third,
that the duty of the citizen to pay Is In
proportion to the expense which ho oc
casions. On the other hand Mr. Adams
suggests In favor of the contributory or
duty theory of taxes, that it Implies "that
all the functions undertaken by the Btate
are such as minister to common Vants"
and which cannot be specialized to in
dividuals; also that a consciousness of
common rights and common duties run In
harmony with the Idea of contribution, as
well as a conviction that the Individual
is a port of the state and realizes his In
dividuality in a small degree, because the
state exists.
Professor Richard T. Ely in his "Taxa
tion in American States and Cities,"
argues that the only correct basis for
taxation Is the duty of the individual, and
that his duty Is measured by his ability
to pay. Professor E. R. A. Sellgman,
probably the foremost authority on taxa
tion in the United States, takes the same
ground In his "Essays in Taxation."
However, all authorities aside, it seems
to be a matter to be decided according
to the dictates of common sense. To use
a homely Illustration, the inmates of the
poorhouses are entitled to the same pro
tection as the richest citizen of the state,
and without any quid pro quo. They are
members of the state, but their ability
to contribute Is nil, and that Is the only
proper ground for exemption. Since the
days of the Magna Charta English-speaking
people have reserved the right to tax
themselves. Pitt recognized that principle
when he said In Parliament that "taxa
tion Is no part of the governing power.
The taxes are a voluntary gift and grant
by the commons alone." Taxes actually
were voluntary for a time in tho colonies.
All of this leads Irresistibly to the con
clusion that in a representative govern
ment every man who has any interest in
the state Is in duty bound to contribute
to Its expenses according to his ability.
It Is an honorable principle, and to weaken
it by legislative exemptions Is to weaken
the moral fibre of the citizens. As a mat
ter of honor as well as expediency it
really seems that the Legislature ought to
bo sustained in tho position It took last
Winter that no exemptions shall be
granted hereafter.

THE TEAM LINED UP.
PHILIPPINES AT THE FAIR
EXHIBIT AT ST. LOUIS WILL BE
WONDERFUL.
Great Task Its Collection Presented
and How Zealous Workers
Overcome Difficulties.
ST. LOUIS, Dec l.-Tho Filipino exhibit
at the World 'a Fair In St. Louis next year
will be an exposition within an exposi
tion. Many persons who have visited the
grounds within the past few weeks and
watched the hundreds of men at work
constructing buildings of large dimensions
at various points on the 40-acre Filipino
reservation have been led to express the
opinion that the display made by the Phil
ippine Islands will be the most Interest
ing single feature of the Fair. Every one
expressed unbounded amazement at tho
magnitude of the exhibit, as Indicated by
the size and number of tho buildings now
in course of construction and the others
mapped out on the grounds.
The annual report of the Exposition
Board, which has headquarters at Manila
and Is preparing the various exhibits for
the islands, has Just been received in St.
Louis. It contains facts and figures cal
culated to Increase the amazement of
those who have merely seen the work of i
preparing the grounds and buildings in
progress.
This report carries the information that
up to the end of September no less than
43,162 exhibits had been gathered by the
Exposition Board. There were at that date
7537 separate exhibitors. Every island in
the great archipelago from which it was
possible to obtain an exhibit was can
vassed by agents of the board, and arti
cles of Interest and value were brought
together from every nook and corner of
the Islands. Points never visited .before
by white men yielded treasures to en
hance this great collection of curious and
attractive products.
Preparing the Exhibits.
Thousands of natives and Americans In
the archipelago have been at work for a
year and a half in assisting the Exposi
tion Board to prepare tho exhibits. When
the enterprise was first launched there
was slow sailing for a time. The board
confesses that at the beginning of the
task the "manana" system prevailed, and
"phlllpplnlstls" seemed to bo endemic and
very contagious. By exerting extraordi
nary efforts, however, the thrill of tho
great Louisiana Purchase Exposition was
sent throughout the islands, prominent
native men and women became interested
and enthusiastic the common people en
listed in the cause, and ere long the con
tagion of enthusiasm had spread from Isl
and to Island and province to province,
until even the non-Chrlstlan tribes be
came Interested, and every Filipino who
has heard of America was snouting for
the success of the Philippine exhibit
Less than three years ago, under Gen
eral Emlllo Agulnaldo, the Filipinos were
fighting against the authority of tho
United States Government In the Islands.
By force of arms they sought to prove
their ability for self-government. Now
they are fighting a battle of peace, with
the same end In view; by the showing
which they propose to make at St. Louis
they hope to prove to America and the
world that they have advanced far enough
toward the standards set by white civ
ilization to be permitted to govern them
selves Whether or not they will be able
to demonstrate this claim with any degree
of practical success it Is not to be dis
puted that the exploitation of Filipino
progress and standing that will be made
on the 40-acre tract assigned to exclusive
use of the Philippine people and the aux
iliary displays In tho general exhibit pal
aces will convince the "Western world that
the little brown men of the archipelago
are very woll along on the road toward
superior civilization.
Classification of Exhibits.
Of the 43,162 exhibits gathered by the
end of September, 10,954 belong to the de
partment of manufactures; 7954 to agricul
ture, 7674 to forestry, 5749 to fish and
game, 8530 to horticulture, 2504 to anthro
pology, 2102 to liberal arts, 1015 to educa
tion, 729 to mines and metallurgy," 49S to
fine arts, 252 to transportation, ISO to
military supplies, 14 to machinery. 5 to
social economy and 1 to physical culture.
All departments mentioned In the offi
cial classification,, of the World's Fair,
except electricity, are represented in tho
Philippine collection. The exhibit Is rep
resented In 103 groups out of 144 and in
308 classes out of 07. These figures give
an Idea as to the remarkably diversified
character of the exhibits from the Isl
ands. The aim of the Philippine Exposition
board is to show the natural riches of
the archipelago and the great resources
which it possesses in the fertility of its
soil, and to present the activity and In
telligence of its people to the view of the
world. To this end the board has en
listed the co-operation of competent men
In the various professions, politicians, of
ficials of the Government, scientists, ar
tists, economists, priests, tradesmen, agri
culturists, manufacturers In short, me?
In every branch of human activity that Is
represented in the Islands.
The board has named Its exclusive res
ervation at St. Louis the Philippine Ex
position, and no one who had studied the
plans as portrayed on the blue prints, or
who has seen the Philippine buildings
growing under the workmen's hammers,
can call It anything other than an ex
position. The Story of a Struggle.
The history of the collection of the Phil
ippine exhibits Is the story of a struggle.
Governor Taft, of the Philippines, while
In the United States In the Spring of 1902,
conferred with President Roosevelt and
Secretary of War Elihu Root, and It was
decided that the Philippine Insular gov
ernment should devote at least $250,000 to
the preparation of a thoroughly creditable
exhibit. Governor Taft succeeded in in
creasing the working capital of the en
terprise by having alloted to that purpose
$100,000 from the World's Fair Company.'
Hon. John Barrett, then Commissioner
General to Asia and Australia for the
World's Fair, visited Manila to enlist the
Interest and co-operation of Filipinos and
American residents In the enterprises.
Gustave NIederleIn, of the Philadelphia
Museum, was called to Manila as special
commissioner for the Philippine exhibits.
Mr. NIederleIn presented to the Philippine
Civil Commission a plan which proposed
the establishment of a permanent museum
at Manila and the holding of a prelimi
nary exposition In that city, and the
founding of a Philippine Academy of Art,
Science, Commerce and Industry. The Idea
of these proposed Institutions was to unite
professional men, officials, teachers,
priests, economists, artists and business
men of every branch In a grand effort to
further the Interests of the World's Fair
exhibits from the Islands. It was in
tended thereby to make a full exploration
of tho Philippine Islands and collaborate
for a brilliant display of the natural re
sources and the economic and social con
ditions of the archipelago.
Governor Taft issued circular letters re
questing the co-operation of all chiefs of
bureaus of the Insular government, all
provincial Governors and other officers
of he province and all municipal officers
throughout the islands. Associated with
Mr. NIederleIn on the Exposition Board
was a leading native, Pedro A. Paterno.
The first meeting of the board was held
November 17, 1902.
Instructions Sent Out.
More than 50,000 pamphlets were distrib
uted over the Islands, containing the in
structions as to gathering, classifying,
packing and shipping the exhibits, trans
lated Into Spanish and tha Tagalog,
Vlsayan, Hacano, VIcol, Pampanga and
Pangasinan dialects. More than 100,000 cir
cular letters in English, Spanish and
Tagalog and many thousands of posters
In the several native tongues were dis
tributed, explaining the purposes of the
Exposition Board and the plan 'and scope
of the World's Fair. The posters, it is In
teresting to note, bore the pictures of Mc
Klnley, Roosevelt, Jefferson, Napoleon,
Rlzal and Governor Taft.
Later a chairman of the board In the
person of Dr. William P. Wilson, director
of the Philadelphia Commercial Museum,
was appointed, and Carson Taylor was
made disbursing officer. Though for a
long time the board had to depend upon
voluntary contributions for the expenses
of collecting exhibits from the various
provinces, the Civil Commission not hav
ing appropriated the $100,000 unanimously
requested by the provincial Governors, re
markable success was achieved, even In
provinces where rinderpest, surra, cholera,
locusts, ladronlsm and the despoilments
of former revolutions had left the people
In a miserable state. The board says in
Its annual report:
"The Filipino people have given by this
exposition work a good proof of their
high-spirited, patriotic .pride, which has
induced them, in the midst of extreme
misery, to make a supreme sacrifice in
order that tho resources and conditions of
their country might appear in a dignified
manner before the civilized world."
The proposed Academy of Sciences, how
ever, did not fulfill expectations. Only
half a dozen of the men Invited thus to
co-operate offered their services. Similar
failures were experienced at first with the
commltteo on art and on Philippine liter
ature, the press committee and the wom
en's committees. Efforts to enlist the aid
of the American, Spanish, Chinese and
Manila Chambers of Commerce were fruit
less In the early stages of the work. Later
all these bodies co-operated heartily, and
the work was pushed forward with ex
traordinary celerity and vigor.
Mr. NIederleIn visited the southern Isl
ands Paragua, Jolo, Basllan and Minda
naoaugmenting the collections and ar
ranging for a great Moro village In tho
Philippine grounds at St. Louis. Later he
completed arrangements with Father Al
gue for the reproduction of a first-class
meteorological laboratory at St. Louis and
for a series of important relief maps, one
of which is 110 feet long and 70 feet wide,
showing the geographical and topograph
ical conditions and tho distribution of the
archipelago's resources. Father Algue Is
chief weathor observer In the islands.
Educational Work to Fore.
Particular consideration was given by
the board of the education work of the
islands. The division superintendents of
schools assembled In 3Ianlla during the
last week In March and listened to earnest
appeals from Mr. NIederleIn. About that
time there took place a heated discussion
as to the feasibility of sending representa
tives of tho non-Christian tribes to the
Worlds' Fair. This matter was finally
settled by the appointment of tho bureau

Mr. Chamberlain has expressed himself
to Lord Strathcona. Agent-General of
Canada In London, as "almost sure" that
his campaign of fiscal reform and colonial
preferences has already succeeded In win
ning the support of the masses In Great
Britain. There may be Borne doubt about
this, but it seems clear that he Is,' "solid"
with the colonies, which follow his cam
paign with sympathetic Interest. New
Zealand has just voted for tariff prefer
ences for British goods on the lines
sketched by the ex-Colonial Secretary.
Premier Deakln, of the Commonwealth of
Australia, has declared his intention to
Introduce a bill in the Federal Parliament
favoring preferences to Imports from. Eng

of 33 1-3 per cent and British South Af
rica has granted a 25 per cent preference.

it appears, backed. Mr. Chamberlain, who
is thus enabled to present his plan to
voters as a business proposal from good
customers who offer more business. The
Crown colonics are similarly favorable,
and India's tariff policy is controlled la
London. The manufacturers and working
men of England are being tempted, it
appears, with an exclusive market or
decided "preferences" at home and in tho
colonies and dependencies of an empire
of over 11,000,000 square miles and over
400,000,000 people. That they will succumb
to its apparent charms seems to Mr,
Chamberlain to be clearly shown by the
enthusiastic reception he hasJiad wher
ever he has spoken. Conversion to his
views is the fashion, and the British
pres3 is largely with him. It is rare that
an appeal to selfish Interests does not
get a favorable hearing.
