The Laboratory of Political Experiment
PORTLAND, Feb. 20- (To the Editor.)
Referring to your comment upon the large
National debt of New Zealand known i.ow
as "the -laboratory of political experi
ments" where I spent 10 months and
made a report thereof to the authorities
at Washington, permit me to explain Its
condition and trade and commerce -with
the United States. "While its debt is not
bo large as is generally believed, that
debt was caused by the present ownership
of public works, the railways, telegraph
and telephone lines in the state, docks,
etc., and metropolitan transporta'tlon,
which are all productive and interest
bearing properties today.
I found New Zealand practically a re
public, often more so than portions of
the United States, with all its officers
(except Judges) elected by the people, and
a Cabinet and Premier In power chosen
"of the people and for the people," free
of British laws and controL Great Britain
has but one representative therein the
Governor of Nov. Zealand, -whoso salary
the people also pay. Its citizens are com
posed of 50 per cent Scotch, and their
children born In New Zealand; 30 per cent
English born, 15 per cent of Irish birth,
with not more than 4 per cent of other
Europeans, only 2S16 Chinese, -who pay a
tax ot $500 each upon arrival. It is ad
mitted that of all the English-speaking
countries, "Now Zealand possesses the
most select, practical, moral and law
abiding people, who consider themselves
far superior to the mother country in
everything that constitutes progress and
develoyment, yet, strange to say, they are
loyal to King Edward as are his London
subjects. Although well-to-do people,
there are ro millionaires and ihere is no
socialism. "What then is tho cause of their
excessive .state debt, and what really Is
Ttfelr State Treasurer certifies that It
'was &i.Sdi.Q&4 but after deducting a slnk-
lng fund deposited in London of $5,994,0S0,
the net debt was $231,810,016. How was
this large sum disbursed? Por railways,
the 2235 miles the state owns today, cost
$39,680 per mile, or $89,100,000, which in
cludes $5000 per mile for rolling stock, so
that the net cost of the roadbeds, com
pleted, average $34,680 per mile, Including
ballasting, very much less than the In
debtedness of the "big" roads in the
United States. In addition. New Zealand
spent during tho year 1901, $6,444,360 on un
completed railway grades. These railways
pay the state a net revenue of 3& per cent
of not earnings yearly, and sometimes 4
per cent. The gross rovenuo was $1203 per
mile, and the operating expenses and bet
terments GO per cent of gross earnings.
Here, then. Is a lesson for the'jrovornment
operation of railways which New Zealand
has taught us, after her ownership of 20
years. If the merger decision In tho
Northern. Securities Company's case should
be against the people in tho United States
Supreme Court, tho only relief left soems
for tho people of America to own Its own
railroads.
New Zealand did not start tho business
of railroading on the state's own account.
It was driven to this long ago by tho
exorbitant freight and passenger rates
railway corporations charged the people,
and has also acquired now (1904) every
mile of railway in New Zealand, except
S8 miles of short lines opera tod In con
nection with manufacturing projects and
coal sidetracks. Thereafter tho state ac
quired and built all of the telegraph and
telephone lines and has 21,703 miles of wire
with 4.167.9SO telegrams annually transmit
ted, which yielded the state or colony a
not revenue of $1,010,525 for 1902.
Again, finding that Its farming popula
tion was unable to pay the excesslvo rates
of Interest charged by money-lenders in
New Zealand, the legislature resolved to
"cut" interest rates, and went into the
mortgage farm loan business, for which
purpose it borrowed in London on the
state's indebtedness $15,000,000 at 3 per
cent, duo 1945. It has loaned out on "ad
vances to settlers" (as it calls them) on
farm loans SU.SOO.000, and Its curious fea
ture is that the state only charges tho
borrower 4 per cent if he selects the 30
years installment plan of repayment,
while if tho borrower prefers a straight
loan under 10 years ho pays 4 per cent
Interest. Already tho state has made a
surplus profit reinvested, of $380,000 per
year from this source. Its advances do
-not exceed three-fifths of the s?curlty ap
praised. So. with banking- facilities, tho
government obtained from the Roths
childs $10,000,000 secured to the state by
preferred stock of the Bank of New Zea
land, which has 130 or more branches In
the colony. The government, through the
banks, advances on all produce, wool,
butter, cheese, frozen meat, skins, tallow,
grain, etc., about S3 per cent of tho value
in London: has inspectors at each port
of shipment for New Zealand to ex
amine same before placed on board ship:
and no butter pf any kind must leave the
colony for foreign countries unless with
a brand Issued by the government and a
certificate from the Inspector that It has
complied with tho law. So. at the port of
arrival if the butter or the frozen meat
Is tainted, it Is by the state's Inspector'
viumped into the sea. With sheep It is the
same. Inspectors examine them alive
while on the grass and ir the breed Is bad
they are condemned at once.
Again, in the sale of government land
to new 'settlers no cash Is asked. The
purchaser gets a deed from the state la
perpetuity to the land, and he and his
heirs guarantee simply to pay 4 per cent
interest yearly to the government in all
time coming. It bought with a cash pay
ment, one-fifth or one-third down, the
government gives 10 or 15 or SO years to
repay the balance, but in that case
charges 5 per cent interest on the deferred
payments. In order to enable the settlers
to utilise Immediately the lands bought
from the state the government agrees to
make first-class macadam wagon roada to
these public lands, whenever a sufficient
number of settlers is obtained, and to pre
vent the people being taxed yearly to pay
for such wagon roads the state borrows
money in England to construct these
roads, repayable within 50 years. The sum
already borrowed for roads is $11,000,000.
There is only one drawback' to this that
whlo the state sees that the new settler
gets first-class macadamized roads to his
home, yet It is unable to cope with the
gradually Increasing demand for branch
railways to carry away the produce
raided, because the state Is already bur
dened with a $20,000,000 Indebtedness for
railways. As a necessary result the farm
er even with state first-class wagon roads,
has frequently a long haul to get to the
3365 miles of railway the state already
owns and operates. To ameliorate this
evil the state has within the last eight
years purchased from private owners of
large tracts alongside or near to railways
many large estates by arbitration values,
compelling the owners to sell to the state
such vacant lands at 10 per cent above the
true valuation, and the state pays cash
therefor. It Immediately surveys and re
surveys these estates Into 80 and 160-acre
tracts and sells them to settlers on 30
years' time or less by the installment
plan, again borrowing from Groat Britain
the money to purchase such large estates
on 50 years state bonds or debentures, at
3 to VA per cent interest, with sinking
redemption funds.
But so far as we in the United States
are concerned tho great question Is, what
does our republic financially gain from
New Zealand? I answer, an increasing
trade and commerce shown as follows:
The two great ports of shipment and for
importation of goods are Auckland City
(population proper, without suburbs, 34,
213) and Wellington City, the capital of
the state (population, without suburbs,
43,638, per census returns of 1001). Auck
land shipped oxports in 1900 to the value
of $10,39,1,505, while "Wellington shipped the
same year much more, or $11,726,975. to all
foreign ports. The United States Is ably
represented at Auckland by our energetic
Consul General Frank Dillingham, a
brother of United States Senator Dilling
ham, but unfortunately "Wellington is
still a consular agency under a Brit
ish subject. Congress having made no
provision for an American consular officer
there. Together the ports shipped to and
imported from the United States a total
trade of $4,379,630 in 1S92, but have since
increased enormously and for the year
ending January L 1902, the total trade
with the United States was $9,97LC95. or
an increase of 120 per cent In eight
years. I find this development surprises
our people of the Pacific states, especially
as their trade with New Zealand has
since 1SS2 increased 400 per cent alone to
the year 190L Surely this is encouraging
to Oregon and Washington, especially as
the Pacific states exports to New Zea
land are mostly manufactured goods and
now greatly exceed the imports from that
colony.
In several communications I have had
during the last two and one-half years
from the premier of New Zealand, (who
visited Portland and the "Willamette Val
ley three years ago), he has impressed
upon mo the necessity of the North Pa
cific railways jointly putting on a month
ly steamship line between the Columbia
River and New Zealand. "Whether they
will do so, as I have represented to the
presidents of the Northern lines, is a
problem of the future.
I regret that I cannot find time to ex
plain In detail further information 1
possess upon this interesting colony or
state New Zealand but-' with a premier,
Hon. R. S. Seddon, and a cabinet already
ten years in power, who have Inaugurated
such vast changes therein and are very
friendly to mutual intercourse and trade
with the Pacific states of America. I am
hopeful of vast gains to accrue to Oregon
therefrom if a direct steamship Una can
only be established. We must remember
the fact that with its population of undei
one million persons (Including 41.000
Maori), trade In the future of one resident
of New Zealand is equal to the trade from
250 residents Of China. This is exempli
fied by Groat Britain's trade with British
India and Ceylon. Great Britain's exports
thereto was $159,000,000. while the trade of
New Zealand for the same year was $120.
219.3S0, of which the United States received
$9,971,655. WILLIAM REID.
HISTORY OF SABBATH.
When
Established, and Why
Should Be Observed.
It
GRANT'S PASS, Or., Feb. IS. (To tho
Editor.) In commenting on your proposi
tion to keep the 1905 Exposition open on
Sunday, the editor of the Pacific Christian
Advocate refers to the day as the "Amer
ican Sabbath, an institution established
under divine direction."
While I have no special Interest in the
opening or the closing of the gates on
Sunday, I do have a common interest in
the cause of Justice and historical truth.
I believe that the Advocate's editor means
well, but he has certainly read history
and jurisprudence to very little purpose.
There is no American Sabbath. Somo
of the American people observe the first
day of the week as a Sabbath, some ob
serve the seventh, while a large majority
observe no day. The seventh-day Sabbath
was Instituted by Moses for the Jews, and
under divine authority. The first-day Sab
bath was instituted by the Emperor Con
stantlne, and by Ms own authority. This
is tho simple history of the Sabbath, and
a thousand volumes could not make It
plainer. The Christian under no obli
gations to keep any day as a Sabbath.
It is his privilege, however, to keep any
day that suits him. and no man has a
right to interfere with this privilege. Our
Constitution forbids any meddling with
religious matters.
We already have laws that protect us
in the exerclso of our religious duties,
and that Is enough. If the first-day Sab
bath people are permitted to enforce the
observance of their day by civil law. then
wo should, In justice to all, permit the
seventh-day Sabbath people to do the
same. I am a Christian and observe the
first day of the week as a day of special
worship, but not as a Sabbath. If our
conduct as Christians la not sufficient
to induce our neighbors to join us In
worship, then we should "be ashamed to
make uso of any other means The truth
is we are doing so little to better the con
ditions of the people that we havo about
lost our Influence.
If tho Exposition directors defer to one
class of Sabbatarians, they should defer
to all. Jews, Adventists. Mohammedans
and Catholics should betreated alike. The
moral tone of the people, however, will
not be affected by either closing or open
ing the gates on Sunday. A man may bo
moral and work every Sunday In the year,
and he may be Immoral and keep all of
the Sabbaths.
The Sabbath question should be dis
cussed strictly from a hygtenio standpoint.
If the health and happiness of the people
require that they should have more rest,
then they should have It.

HARD TASK FOR INVENTORS.
Many at Work Making "Unrefill
able" BottIes.
An inventive genius residing- in a
country town in Washington "writes to
Tho. Oregonian to inquire about an ar
ticle -which ho says he saw in this
paper about, seven years ago, concerning-
what he calls "a unrentable botle."
Ho has sinco seen a good many
patents issued on the samo kind of bot
tle and has now invented one himself,
but before spending any money on a
patent would like to know where ho
can find out some more about the one
described in the article mentioned.
There have been so many articles
published In The Oregonian during tho
past seven years that no one connected
with tho paper can remember them all,
and even the person who wrote the ar
ticle mentioned has forgotten about It.
To one ndt versed In the scienco of
bottle-making and using, it might nat
urally occur that it would be a waste
of time and ingenuity to invent an un
refutable bottle, as onco emptied it
would be useless and its purpose, would
be answered by an ordinary bottle"w!th
a hole punched in the bottom.
On investigation, however, this
proves to be not tho case and there is
a demand for an "unrefillable bottle,"
which has for years been the dream
and the despair of Inventors, hundreds'
having- been . Invented and patented,
none of which havo ever come- Into
general use for one reason or another.
Manufacturers of ' liquors, perfumes
or sauces, which have attained a world
wide reputation and -which are imi
tated or the ori&lnal bottles of which
are refilled by baso or inferior articles',
which are thus disposed of as genuine,
long for a practical unrefillable bottle
to 'protect their goods.
Everybody, of course, knows that
there is no bad whisky, but some kinds
are better than others, and many per
sons will have come across a bottlo
bearing tho label of a superior kind
of whisky or sauce, the contents of
which when tasted show that they ara
an inferior article or fraudulent Imita
tion. It is alleged that a number of really
unrefillable bottles have been Invented
but that their cost has been so great as
to render their use prohibitory. A
common whisky bottle costs, say 5
cents. Tho manufacturer of a -very
celebrated brand of whisky could af
ford to pay 7VJ cents for an unreflllabla
bottle on account of the protection it
would offer his product, but a bottle
that costs 10 or 15 cents would con
sume all the profits and more, too, and.
as the really unrefillable bottles so far
invented have cost from 10 to 15 cents
to manufacture, they were prohibitive
or impracticable, and so have never
come Into use.
Any one who will give the matter a
moment's thought can readily see that
it Is not an easy thing to make a bot
tlo which can bd filled once and emptied
and cannot bo filled again. This Is,
however, hardly a fair statement of
tho matter, as all these Inventors con
template the refilling of the bottle by
the use of a new "cap" or patented ap
paratus. Most people, however, will bo of
opinion that any bottle once filled can
by some means bo refilled when emptied
or partially emptied.
In tho course ot inquiries made con-,
cerning unrefillable bottles a reporter
discovered a business man of this city
who has recently Invented one. and
has secured a patent on it. which ho
thinks Is tho long-sought practicable
one which will come into general use
and will "fill tho bill," as he says ho
can furnish them for 7 cents each,
which is Inside the prohibitory price
limit.
He freely exhibits the drawings of
his "cap" and a working model, but
does not desire to have his name made
public, as this would subject Aim to
an endless annoyanco from wie curious
and Inquisitive. He is aware that the
purchasers of his Invention, if a suc
cess, will be very few and far apart,
but they will buy on a largo scale.
SHOULD BE OUTLAWED.
Big Price Should Be Placed on Head
of Cougar.
SILVERTON, Or., Feb. 18. (To tho Edi
tor.) A party of prospectors having just
returned from the Abiqua basin, about
25 miles southeast of Sllverton, reports
having seen the tracks of about 20 or 25
deer, and the tracks of three cougars,
which were supposed to be chasing the
deer. Among them one track seemed an
unusually large one. the others being
medium sized. These brutes are very
plentiful this year in the foothill country
and cannot be hunted successfully except
with dogs, there being little snow on the
west side of the range to help the still
hunter In Winter, and the timber is so
thick that it Is almost Impossible to lo
cate the animal without the use of dogs.
Cougar hunting with dogs is a legitimate
srfort and should be encouraged by put
ting a price on the heads of the brutes, so
that moro of them would be wiped out.
When It Is known that It takes about
100 deer to keep a single cougar In meat
for a single year, the reason for encour
aging the killing of them is plain. There
is no use In keeping the human hunter
out of the woods when the cougar has no
closed season and no limit as to the sex
or size of his kill, and in addition does
not eat more than onco from the same
carcass, unless he is too old and slow to
be sure of his own power. In a heavily
timbered country like our Coast ranges
It is no trick at all for one of these big
cats to ambush a deer and drop down on
him from a log or rock beside the" trail,
and no deer ever escapes after the cou
gar gets a grip on him. It Is all. over In
a moment and the country is short ono
more deer.
The cougar does not fill any sphere of
usefulness, for even his pelt Is worthless
for nine or ten mdnths In tho year, and
good for little for the other three months.
He destroys more deer thanall the hunt
ers ever did, and ho should be made a
legal outlaw, with a high enough price
put on his head to send men and dogs
into the woods to exterminate him. If
this could be done it would bo surprising
to see the Increase in the deer herds in
five years. Figure It out for yourself:
ever ten cougars that live in the woods
for a year mean 1000 less deer for the
year. Think of it! And the worst of It
is that there are several times ten cou
gars In each of the foothill and moun
tain counties along the Cascade Rango
of mountains.
This Is a matter of interest to not, only
sportsmen but every man who cares any
thing about the preservation of our deer
herds. Tet wo let it go on and do not
offer a bounty sufficient to send hunters
and dogs into the woods to wipe out
these useless brutes. J. N. W.

SORES
F IR ATI !T A ATI
OLD
ULCERS
ABSCESSES
There is no better evidence of a bad condition of the blood
and uiibealtiiy state of the system than a sore that won't heal, or
a festering, discharging Ulcer or Abscess. There are many ways
by "which the blood may become contaminated and poisoned. A
long spell of malarial fever or other debflitating sickness, the
citc&iivc use ui mercury m certain aiseases, inactive Kidneys ana
torpid liver, exposure and lack of nourishing food, weaken the constitution and canse
the system to become congested with impurities which are taken np by the blood, and
wherever the flesh is bruised or scratched a festering sore or discharging ulcer begins.
A boil or blister, pimple or burn often develops into a frightful looking sore because of
the unhealthy condition of the blood, and the place will continue to grow and spread, finally
rea cuing- tne oones ana causing tnem to aecay unless
the blood is purged and purified and the system thor
oughly cleansed of all morbid and unhealthy accumu
lations' This cannot be done with washes, salves and
soaps, which only afford temporary relief.
Such things neither make the blood any purer .nor
the system any cleaner, and to depend upon them alone
is suicidal and senseless. The sore or ulcer is only a
symptom, an outlet for the poisons circulating in the
blood, and as long as it remains impure the sore will
never heal. It may scab over and appear to be getting
well, but a fresh outpour of matter from the diseased
blood starts it again, 'and thus it goes on, sometimes
for years, slowly sapping away the Hfe of the patient.
The only way to get rid of these disgusting evi
dences of impure blood is to remove the cause by
purifying the polluted blood, and nothing does this so
surely and effectively as S. S. S. It drives out of the
circulation impurities and germs of every kind; and
under the tonic effect of this great remedy the general
health rapidly recuperates and broken-down constitu
tions are built up and strength and vigor are restored
to all parts of the system. When S. S. S. gets into the
circulation, impurities that have been clogging the
blood and causing the old sore or ulcer, are driven out
through the natural channels of the body, and the
place begins to heal, the discharge gradually ceases,
new flesh forms and smooth, healthy skin hides all signs of the painful, sickening sore.
o. t. o. is an entirely vegetaDie remeay, containing
both purifying and tonic properties, making it the ideal
medicine where the blood is out of order and the health
undermined by. some previous ailment resulting in
chronic sores, ulcers, boils or abscesses.
A sore that does not heal promptly, no matter how
small, will bear watching. It is a sure indication of bad'
blood, and may develop into something far more serious than a common ulcer. It may
be Cancer. Through, our medical department we are rendering valuable help to those
afflicted with sores and ulcers of various kinds. Write us, and our physicians will advise
you without charge. THE SWMTf SPECIFIC GOMPAMY, ATLANTA, GA

Soma eight years ago a small blisrtar
appeared on. my nppor lip. I tried seTeral
local applications in an effort to hal it, but
without avail. Finally I consulted a doctor,
butstho sore did not yield to bis .treatment,
so consulted another without any better ,
results. Tha third dootor pronounced it
Eozema. Th sore is. the meantime had
spread quite a little and the akin about the
'sore was dlaoolored. After treating it for
Eczema and not getting any better, the doc
tor pronounoed It Epithelioma Cancer, and
advised that I go to Chicago and have it cut
out. I did not do this, but having had S. S. S.
reoommended to me by a oouple of friends, 1
began its use, and the sore soon began to
heal, and after using some six bottles of the
medicine it healed up entirely, and has never
returned. Several years have elapsed since
its disappearance. JOHN L. SAMS.

I was the victim of a severe burn, having
stepped into a orucible of molten iron. My
right foot to the shoe top was fearfully
burned. You can get an idea of its severity
by my telling you that I was unable to walk
for months. I suppose my blood was bad,
as the place did not seem to heal. Get
ting discouraged at the slow progress
tqwards recovery, I deolded to use S. S. S,,
and am pleased to say that the medicine did
its work well. It went into the circulation,
thoroughly cleansed and enriched my blood,
and In due time the affected area began to
