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.

IOS ANGELES. Cal., June 10. The last
doubt as to the identity of the body lying

was buried under the name of Olga Miller,
but which Is believed to Bertha Bellstein,
was removed last night when a photo
graph was received from Fred Beilsteln.
Jr.. brother of the glrL The photo 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.
BARON KUROKI IS PLEASED
Leaves for Home, Expressing Good
Will to Uncle Sam.
SEATTIJ3, June 10. General Baron Ku
roki spent his last day in the United
States very quietly. He gave a luncheon
today In a local hotel to prominent mem
bers of the local Japanese colony, as well
as to several prominent citizens. James
Dunsmuir. Deutenant-Governor of Brit
ish Columbia, with Mayor Morley, of Vic
toria, were among the guests. In the
evening the Baron and suite were given a
reception by Judge Thomas Burke, of the
Asiatic Society, .a commercial organiza
tion. From this reception the Baron's
party was taken in carriages direct to
the steamship Kaga Mara, which will sail
at daylight tomorrow for the Orient.
Before leaving. General Kuroki, through
the American honorary escort. General
O. E. Wood, said that his visit to this
country had been a most pleasant one,
and that he leaves with the kindest feel
ings for Uncle Sam and his people.
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.
