THE 3TORXIXG OREGOXIAX. TUESDAY, JUNE 11, 1907. CHILD LABOR AND LARGE FORTUNES (Continued From First Page.) welfare of the children In all parts of our land. T am glad that thr has brn found ed tt National society of public school hfclene, and I wish. It, and all its branches, well in every way. ThT is increasing need that the welfare of the children should b effectively safe guarded by Governmental action; with the piovino, however, that this action shall be taken with knowledge and In a spirit of ro bust common sense ; for philanthropy, whether Governmental or Individual, Is a cure and not a blearing; when marked by a spirit of foolish sentimentality and ignor ance. Employers Liability Laws. He proceeded to commend cultivation of individualism as against a "deadening So cialism," but said that, as conditions grew more complex, we need laws for the care of children, control of corporations, prevpntion of accidents and compensation to injured workmen, saying on the latter subject: The pre.ent practice is ba.-ed on the view announced nearly 7 yean ago that "prin ciples of Justice and good sense demand that a workman shall take upn himself, all the ordinary rlk of hln orcupatlon." In my view, principle of justice and good sense demand the very reverse of this view, which experience has proved to bo unsound and productive of w Idenpread suffering- It Is neither Just, expedient, nor humane, it is revolting to Judgment and sentiment alike, that the financial burden of accidents oc curring because of the necessary exigen cies of their dally occupation should be thrust upon those sufferers who are least ahle. to bear It. and that such remedy as is theirs should only be obtained by litigation hich now burdens our courts. A a matter of fact there Is no sound economic reason for distinction between ac cidents caused by negligence and those which are unavoidable, and the law should he such that the payment of those acci dents will become automatic instead of be ing a matter for a lawsuit. Workmen should receive a certain definite and limited com pensation for all accidents In industry ir respective of negligence. Hard J tap at ItaJIroads. Tie proceeded to advocate a law piv Inur workmen employed by the Govern ment compensation for accidents, and that the states take similar action. He condemned as unwise the action of the railroads In fighting the constitu tionality of the National employers liability Jaw. He spoke of their incon fistency in this course with their ac tion in apepalins; to the Government In times of riot. He said: There should be the plainest and most un equivocal additional statement, by enact ment of Congress, to the effect that rail road employes are entitled to receive dam ages for any accident that comes to them n- an incident of the performance of their duties, and the law should be such that tt will be impossible for the railroads success fully to fight it without thereby forfeiting all right to the protection of the Federal tiovernment under any circumstances. In the name way there should be rigid Federal legislation to minimise all railway acci dents. Ho closed by urging that the Navy he kept in efficient condition, and that a system of promotion by elimination be adopted, to secure young; and effi cient officers. The President then reviewed the parade of foreign and United States sailors and bluejackets, marines, artillery, cavalry and infantry. West Point and Annapolis t'adcts, Virginia Cadets, Georgia National Guard, Virginia Volunteers and other small military detachments. The President's busy tour of the grounds then ensued and ended at the conven tion of the National Kdltorial Associa tion where he delivered the second address of the, day. Advice to Editors. Mr. Ttoosevclt began by advising the Editors as to their policy in discussing public affairs. He asked them to be sure of their facts and avoid exagger ation. He went on: It is a sure .sign of moral and mental dis honesty iu any man If in his public assualtj upon Iniquity he Is never able to see any iniquity, save that of a particular classi nd this whether he is able only to see the crimes of arrogance and oppression in the rich or the crimes of envy and violence in the poor. He Is no true American if n Is a respecter of persons where right and wrong are concerned and If he fails to de nounce th demagogue no lef-s than tne corrupt ionist. to denounce alike crimes of organized greed and crimes of brutal vio lence. There is equal need to denounce the wealthy man who swindles investors or buys legislatures or oppresses wage worker, and the needy man who Inflames class hatred or Incites mob violenc. We need to hold the scales of Justice even, and to weigh them down on one side is as bad as to welch them down on the other. Reform of Land Laws. He then proceeded to elaborate his opinions on the public land laws. He declared that our policy hitherto had lacked foresight and allowed waste of our natural resources. He then out lined the new policy of preserving these resources. He spoke of the pres ervation of the water sources by the Reclamation Service, and said that though there had been some opposi tion, there would be no halt In this work. He reviewed the reforms rec ommended by the Public Lands Com mission, and declared them sound, be ing in the interest of the home-maker and against monopoly. He expressed confidence that these measures would be adopted. He discussed the work of the Forest Service, and outlined hrs policy for the protection of the coal supply from waste and monopoly. He declared the necessity of leasing pub lic gracing land. Of land frauds he said: Congress Cripples Justice. For several years we have been doing everything in our power to prevent fraua upon the public land. What can be done under the present laws Is now being dona through the Joint action of the Interior De partment and the Department of Justice. But fully to accomplish the prevention of fraud there" is need of further legislation and especially of a sufficient appropriation to permit the Department of the Interior to examine certain classes of entries on the ground before they pass Into private owner ship. The appropriation asked for last Winter, if granted, would have put an end to the squandering of the public domain, while It would hava prevented any need of causing hardship to Individual settlers by holding up their claims. However, the appropriation was not given us, and In con tqunre it is not possible to secure, as I would like to secure, ths natural resources of the public land from fraud, waste and encroach men t. lie told of the work to he done by the Inland Waterways Commission, saying its purpose was to devise means of preserving all the resources of streams, pn rtlcularly for navigation, which had become necessary since the railroads were unable to handle all trnfrtc. Mr. Roosevelt next took up the sub ject of taxation, saying: Income and Inheritance Taxes. Now as to the matter of taxation. Mot great civilised count Has have an Income tax and an inheritance tax. In my Judgment both should be part of our system of Fed eral taxation. I speak differently about the Income tax hecautw one scheme for an In come tar was declared unconstitutional by the Kupreme Court by a five-to-four vote; and In addition It Is a difficult tax to ad minister In its practical workings, and great care would have to be exercised to see that It was not evaded by every man whom It is most desirable to have taxed, for If so exaded tt would of course be worse than no tax at all, aa ths least desirable of all taxes Is the tax which bars heavily upon the honest as compared with the dishonest man- Nevertheless, a graduated Income tax of the proper type would he a desirable permanent feature nf Federal taxation, and I still hope that one may b devised wnicb. the Supreme Court will declare constitu tional. Make Big Fortunes Pay Heavily. In my Judgment, however, the inheritance tax Is both a far better method of taxation, and far more Important for the purpose I have in view the purpose of having the swollen fortunes of the country bear In proportion to their size a constantly in creasing burden, of taxation. These for tunes exist solely because of the protection given the owners by the public. They are a constant source of care and anxiety to the public and it is eminently just that they should be forced to pay heavily for the protection given them. It Is, of course, ele mentary that the Nation has the absolute right to decide as to the terms upon which any man shall receive a bequest or devise from another. We have repeatedly placed such laws upon our own statute books, and they have repeatedly been declared con stitutional by the courts. I believe that the tax should contain the progressive principle. Whatever any individual receives, whether by gift, bequest, or devise, in life or In dea h, should, after a certain amount Is reached, be increasingly burdened; and the rate of taxation should be Increased In pro portion to the remoteness of blood of the man receiving from the man giving or de vising. Make Tax Progressive. The nrincinle of thla nrorressive taxation of Inheritances has not only been authorl- tativelv recounized hv the levinla.tion " of Congress, but it is now unequivocally adopt ed in the leading civilized nations of the world In. for instance., Oreat Britain. France and Germany. Switzerland led off with the Imposition of high progressive rates. Oreat Britain was the first of the great nations to follow suit, and within the last few years both France and Ger many have adopted the principle. In Great Britain all estates worth $MKK or less are practically exempt from death duties, while the increase j nUch that when an estate ex ceeds r.oooo.OOO in value and passes to a distant kinsman or stranger in blood the Government receives nearly 1R per cent- In France, under the progressive system, so much of an Inheritance as exceeds $10,000. OOO pays over 2o per rent to the state If It passes to. a distant relative, and 5 per cent If it passes to a direct heir. In Germany very small inheritances are exempt, but the tax is so sharply progressive that an In heritance not in agricultural or forest lands which exceeds 2-"rf,000. If It goes to distant relatives. Is taxed at the rate of about 25 per cent. . The German law Is of special in terest, because It makes the inheritance tax an imperial measure, while allotting to the Individual states of the empire a portion of the proceeds and permitting them to im pose taxes In addition to those Imposed by the imperial government. . Have Taxed Inheritance Before. In the T'nited States the National Gov ernment has more than once Imposed Inher itance taxes In addition to those imposed by the states, and in the last instance about one-half of the states levied such taxes con currently with the National Government, making a combined maximum rate. In some cases as high as 25 per cent; and, as a matter of fact, several states adopted in heritance tax laws for the first time while the National law was still In force. The French law has one feature which is to be heartily commended. The progressive prin ciple is so applied that each higher rate Is Imposed only on the excess above the amount subject to the next lower rate. This plan Is peculiarly adapted to the working out of the theory of using the inheritance tax for the purpose of limiting the size of Inheritable fortunes, since the progressive increase In the rates, according to thla mode, may be carried to its logical con clusion In a maximum rate of nearly 100 per cent for the amount in excess of a specified sum, without being confiscatory as to the rest of the Inheritance;; for each in crease in rate would apply only to the amount above a certain maximum. Evil of Large Fortunes. I do not believe that any advantage comes either to the country as a whole or to the individuals inheriting the money by permitting; the transmission in their en tirety of such enormous fortunes as have been accumulated in America. The tax could be made to bear more heavily upon persons residing out of the country than upon those residing within- it. Such a heavy progressive tax Is, of course. In no shape or way a tax on thrift or industry, for thrift and industry have ceased to possess any measurable Importance In the acquisition of the swollen fortunes of which I speak long before the tax would In any way seriously affect them. , Such a tax would be on of the methods by which, we should try to preserve a measurable equality of oppor tunity for the people of the generation growing to manhood. As Lincoln pointed out, there are some respects in rwhich men are obviously not equal; but .there is no reason why there should not be an equality of self-respect and of mutual respect, an equality of rights before the law, and at least an approximate equality in the con ditions under which each man obtains the chance to show the stuff that is in him when compared with "his fallow. NO VACATION FOR GOULD Will Stay In Xew York to Fight His ' Wife's Divorce Suit. NEW YORK. June 10. Howard Could has decided not to ro abroad this year. Instead he will remain in New York for the leal battle with his wife, formerly Miss Catherine Clemmons, who Is suing him for separation and alimony,' which she wants fixed at J250.000 a year. This is the first Summer Howard Gould will have spent in -New York since he was a youth. Always he went to North ern F2uropean waters or sought the cool breezes of Switzerland mountains. Mr. Gould has been taking an active part In the legal fight ever since it began a month ago. There have been few days when he has not visited the office of his lawyer, De Jancey. Nicoll. Every move from the Howard Gould side of the con troversy Is made only after Mr. Gould has sanctioned It. 'I am becoming a good lawyer," he said last week to one of his friends. The shape of the legal battle between the Goulds Just now, which Is interesting the husband most, is the amount of alimony he will be obliged to pay. He and his attorneys are preparing a statement of his wealth, knowing this will be deter mined by the court or referee, should one be appointed after the motion by Mrs. Gould's attorney for alimony and at torney's fees. Mr. Gould has announced that his an nual Income Is about 600.00 from a fortune of J12.0U0.000. Mrs. Gould says that she can prove that her husband owns prop erties which bring his Income up to more than O.000.000. Upon this basis Mrs. Gould has decided to ask the court to allow her J250.000 a year alimony. Cases will be cited toy Mrs. Gould's attorneys, in which courts ' have allowed & wife one-fourth of her husband's Income. TEXAS OIL COMPANY LOSES Waters-Fierce Go Into Hands of Re ceiver on Account Jury's Verdict. AUSTIN, Texas, June 10. After hear ing the arguments of the defense upon the application of the state for the ap pointment of a receiver for the Waters Pierce Oil Company in Texas and declin ing to listen to the arguments of the state. Judge Brooks announced that he would grant the request and appoint a receiver, not because it was necessary to Insure the collection of the penalties ac cording to the verdict brought in by the Jury, but because it was evident that the defendant purposed to continue to conduct its business, pending the determination of the appeal, in a manner and by the same means that had been found by the Jury to be tn violation of the laws of the State of Texas. Body That of Bertha Bellstein. . IOS ANGELES. Cal., June 10.

Jr.. brother of the glrL The photo was shown to the landlady of the hotel where Olga Miller had boarded, and she was positive of the identity of the girl.- HEAVY FAILURE IN STEEL BIG CONTRACTING FIRM SAID TO BE EMBARRASSED. Milliken Company With Branches All Over World Forced to Ask , for Receiver In Bankruptcy. NEW YORK. June 10. Application for a receiver in bankruptcy for Milliken Brothers, incorporated, one of the largest manufacturers of structural steel, bridge work, and construction of steel frame buildings in the city, was made today to Judge George C. Holt in the United States Court. Judge Holt has taken the matter under advisement. William Nel son Cromwell, counsel for the firm, was asked what the bankruptcy proceedings meant and the reason for them. He said: "We were short of money. Our hun dreds of contracts all over the world, our Pennsylvania tunnel contract, the Singer building contract and the plant on Staten Island tied up enormous sums, and while we might easily have tided over the af fairs of the company for a period, the desire of the directors was to place the corporation on a permanent basis. The aim is to keep the contracts going and the ability of the corporation to raise the necessary money for that purpose was not sufficient." ' "As a matter of fact." said Mr. Crom well." between J300.0PO and 1400,000 had been offered the corporation during the day, but the directors felt that It would not "be fair or honorable to accept the proffered aid in view of the condition of the corporation." One of the directors of the corporation tonight, on being told of the alleged $3,600,000 unsecured liabilities which it was stated was a part of the record of the court, said the statement was a most unjust and unfair one. He added that the corporation had assets more than enough to meet all the debts of the cor poration. The liabilities are about J6.500.000. of which t3,Ono,00O is represented by first mortgage bonds. The capital stock is $6,500,000 of which $3,000,000 is 7 per cent cumulative preferred and $3,500,000 is common stock. The assets comprise a plant which, with the real estate and machinery, is valued at $7,250,000, and merchandise and supplies on band of the value of about $750,000 more. About three-quarters of a million Is invested in construction and outstanding contracts. "It is manifest to all concerned," he said, "that the wisest course was to conserve the vast business by placing the same under the Jurisdiction of the court without preference and with perfect equality to all, and thereby prevent dis crimination and ruinous sacrifice. Appli cation therefore was made for the ap pointment of receivership." Mr. Cromwell stated that he had in contemplation a plan for a speedy re organization of the company and lntendT ed to submit it to the creditors at an early date. The Milliken 1 Company maintained of fices in London, Antwerp, Johannesburg, Cape Town. Havana, Mexico City, San Francisco, Portland. Oregon, and Hono lulu. It was established in 1S57 by Sam uel J. Millike. - Jr. The stockholders in clude many pro.- pent bankers in this and other cities. The business of the concern has covered structural steel and general construction work throughout the world. The firm has the contract for supply ing the structural steel work for the Pennsylvania terminal, the largest con tract of the kind ever let in New York, and for many buildings in the reconstruc tion of San Francisco.

BERRY PRICES GO IP AGAIN Rain Retards Ripening of the Crop at Hood River. HOOD RIVER, 'Or., June 10. (Special.) Cold weather and rain which fell here last night for - the first time in many weeks is , holding hack the strawberry crop, the season for which is thought to be about half over. Prices for berries have taken an upward tendency, those yesterday and today bringing in the neighborhood of $2.75. So far 30 cars have been shipped out this season with the expectation that as many more will be moved before it is over. This does not Include the number of crates shipped by express, which has reached about 8000. The total number of cars shipped last year was 28, so that although the crop is not as large as expected it is a better one than that of 1906. Growers now look for it to reach 60,000 crates against 75,0000 or 80,000, which was predicted early In the season. Brings Over Half Million Gold. ' SEATTLE, June 10.
