Charging falsity on the part of a Tort-
land ncwiptMr In attacking hla office,
Attorney-Oeneral Crawford today la-
sued a statement aa to tha reaulta
which have been attained by him In
collecting gross earnlnaa taxes, show
Ins; that hla office has succeeded In col
lectins I33S.009 net In prosecuting tha
eaai Business for the state.
In thla Interview tha Attorney-Gen
eral says:
"We a. Mom break Into print, but If
tna preaa or the state will kindly pub.
Hah this article, we shall feel under
great obligation. Our attention has
been caller! to an article published la
the Portland Journal a few daya since,
relative to collection of what Is called
a roes earnlnaa taxes, and charging
thla office with neallaence relative to
such collections, a part of which article
Is true and a part of which la false.
The facts are as follows:
Durlna the 105 session of the Ore
gon Legislature. It became my pleas
ant duty to advise with Hon. H. O.
Honnemann. a member of the House
from Douglas County, relative to a
aro.t earnings lax measure to apply to
public service corporations. The bill
was prepared. Introduced In the Mouse
by Mr. rionnemann, passed the House
and went to the Senate where It waa
mothered In committee.
Tna Rills Drafted.
"John Paulson and others of the
8tate Iran ire then took the matter up
and drafted two bills, which the peo
ple adopted at the June election In
1S0S. Several corporatlona rrfused to
pay the taxes so Imposed, and tha
Attorney -General commenced actions at
sr against them, notably of which
were cases against the Pacific States
Telephone A Telegraph Company, tha
Kunset Telephone Company, Wells-
r argo Co., and the Standard Oil Com
pany, a California corporation. These
companies all net up the defense, among
others, that the law having been en
acted by the Initiative method waa la
conflict with the Federal Constitution,
and therefore unconstitutional and void.
"A lest case was made of tha case
aaalnst the Pacific States Telephone &
Telegraph Company, and being won In
tha state rourta, the company appealed
to the United fltatea Mupreme Court,
where It was duly affirmed. In the raae
against the Standard OH Company and
Wells-rarao Co.. Judge Burnett de
rided '.hat the said gross earnings tax
law was superseded by the law of
10T. which provides that tha term
real property shall Include all fran
chises and privileges granted by and
pursuant to any law of this stats, or
municipal ordinance, or resolution
owned or Deed by any person or cor
poration other than tha right to be a
corporation.' and held that the atata
could collect for 19ut and 107, bat
not later.
"Tha company appealed the case to
the Supreme Court and on tha trial In
that court the Attorney-Oeneral argued
that the court should consider tha
question of the 101 taxes, under tha
provisions of the constitutional amend
ment to article VII of the constitution.
Tha court held against tha Attorney
General a contention on thla point, but
held with him on all othera and made
the collection of taxea for 10 and
1907 certain after the t'nlted Statea
Supreme Court's decision fn the Pacific
Statea case. .
Leajal Palat Raised.
'The case against Wells. Fargo
Co., now on appeal to the Supreme
Court, directly raises tha point as to
whether the gross earnlnaa tax law
was superseded by the 107 act. If we
fall to get a decision In this esse, we
will bring one for that purpose. Tha
delay la owing to being obliged to
swalt the decision of the t'nlted Statea
Supreme Court In the Pacific Statea
vcase. We have no knowledge of the
motive or person inspiring tna article
referred to herein, but beg to say that
s to sll business transacted through
the Attorney-General's office, we wel
come the light of publicity and here
with submit a brief statement ef tha

credits disappeared, and for the first
few years after the conclusion of peace
the public funds of the poorer state
remained at a higher market figure
than those of the other."
The article la a long one. and space
only allows of quoting soms of tha
conclusion.
"No nation ever refrained from mak
ing war for want of money. It has al
ways been forthcoming for thla ob
ject, either by taxation and Internal
loana or by applying to friendly pow
ers or rich groups for advances. When
ones hostilities have begun tha fortune
of war decldea that of finances. Credit
follows victory, and tha victor has no
difficulty In floating any loana ha
chooses. The' lenders are well aware
of the benefirlal effect on commerce.
Industry and navigation exercised by
military prestige. They discount It.
and also know that a more or less large
Indemnity generally 'compensates In
part for th cost of the campaign.
"It Is therefore a moat dangerous de
lusion for and nation to Imagine that a
few millions of reserve and more mil
lions of capital at dlaposal form an In-
expungable rampart against attack or
guarantee the success of an offensive.
It Is a fatal error to repeat, as some
writers do, that a modern war requires
such expenditures that even the vic
torious nation would be exhausted and
could not profit by Its win. It Is to the
loser that such prophecies apply.
"Wealth, and especially a certain ape
ries of wealth, which consists In mov
able capital In the shape of rash or
easily negotiable bonds, may become
n the bands of men lacking In energy
a cause of weakness at the aama time
as It la a temptation to a stronger ad
versary td snatch It away from those
who are not capable of defending It
from hla covetousneas. We owe this
warning to our own country, which
stands forth from others by tha abund
ance of the resources at Its disposal
(dlsponlbllltes), the magnitude of its
reserves, and the total of Ita holding of
foreign stock (portefeulllo etranger).
which Is greater than that of any other
nation except England."

SEX QUESTION AGITATES
German Nation to Care for Father
lees Children.
BERLIN. June 1. (Special.) Ger
many la taking draatlc atepa to force
upon the atata a due recognition with
regard to the married women and
children of the Empire. In Germany
1 HO. 000 children are registered every
year as being without legal fathers.
So strong a realisation of tho evil
hat excited a deep determination In
the minds of many women to cope ef
fectually with the matter, and the
Mutter-Schuta movement waa started,
to force upon the state the obligation
to aea that all children be preserved
and cared for.
The toul of tha movement lies In
tha personality of Dr. Helen Etoecker,
the foundress of the Bund. She seeks
reform a new marriage law In which
tha Interests of children shall pre
ponderate over those of tradition, sen
I "- r
J
timent and formal restriction. The
ltelchstag haa twice considered her pro
posals, which provide under tha Insur
ance acta that all women employed In
factorlea shall get sick Insurance pen
sions for six weeks at the birth of
each child, and it further requires that
Insurance benefits he extended to all
mothera of the agricultural, servant
and home-working classes. Hhe advo
cates. In addition, compulsory reat for
all mothera for alx weeks before and
six weeks after childbirth. A small
part of her programme haa already be
come law.
The Buntl further demands that
mothera shall receive an equivalent to
their full wages during the 12 weeks;
that they snail get free medical at
tendance and medicines, and also an
allowance for alx montha after tha
birth of each child. It holds, more
over, that children cannot adequately
be protected till marriage as an insti
tution Is reformed. "Marriage," says
Dr. Stoecker, "la moral or Immoral
acordlng aa It does or does not fulfill
the aim of bringing up good children
and developing the family." She advo
cates that prohibition ahould prevent
the marriage of. the unfit.

NEW TORK. June 1. Colonel Roose
velt said today that tha reporte ha In
tended to go to the Chicago convention
are untrue.
"Pure fake." aald Colonel Roosevelt,
"Of course I may alter my plans, but
at present I have not any Intention of
going to Chicago."
The auggestlon of a compromise be
tween the Taft and tha Roosevelt
forcea at tha Ohio convention, which Is
to elect six delegatea-at-large to Chi
cago, waa denounced today by Colonel
Roosevelt. The Colonel sent this tele
gram to Walter F. Brown, hla Ohio
manager, at Columbua:
"I have Just seen the telegram sent
by Mr. Taft to Mr. Vorya about a com
promise In Ohio. Until I saw this tele
gram I had never heard a suggestion
that there ahould be any compromise,
and I of course assumed that any auch
suggestion came from the Taft forces.
In the first place. I would not consent
to a compromise anyhow, and In the
next place we carried Ohio by over
20.000 on the popular primary.
"Any attempt to give Mr. Taft a
single delegate-at-large would mean to
sanction a doll borate effort to defraud
the people and by a trick to nullify
their expressed Kill. Mr.' Taft haa In
morals and equity no claims whatever
to a single delegate-at-large from
Ohio, and any attempt to secure, him
ao much aa one delegate-at-larga Is
committing an act ot treachery to tha
people, and any man who condones or
approves such act la condoning and
approving treachery.

The mere fact that" fake-dangerous

All reliable dealers sell and recom
