THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, JULY 2, 1933 GERMAN rs MURDER EPIDEMIC Monarchist Plotters Unre . strained, Says Harden. 317 VICTIMS DEMOCRATS Latest Killing Declared Biggest Blunder of All Flag of Re public Openly Flouted. BT MAXIMILIAN HARDEN. Germany's Foremost Publicist. (Copyright, 3K!. by The Oregonian.) BERLIN, July 1. (Special Cable.) The German murder epidemic is disgracing the German people In the opinion of the world. True, Eng land also has one, which culminated in the assassination of Sir Henry Wilson, but that represents the last asroniaa of the war between meo pies. Her compatriots murder each other merely on account of party differences without the excuse of age-long strife. There have been 317 victims in Germany, all from the democratic group. Not a hair of a nationalist or a royalist has been touched since Germany's collapse. As the latest victim's mangled corpse was being carried home crowds were cheering Hindenburg and two of the kaiser's sons at Potsdam, only half an hour away. 'Jfce Prussian monarchist Order of St. John was holding its annual knight-dubbing festival with all of its ancient monarchical pomp and with the names of each of Wil helm's mandarins printed on the programme with their full court titles and Eitel Friederiok named as his royal highness. The officiating clergyman, called Hofprediger meaning court preacher expressed the hope of Boon seeing Doom castle blossom Into new life. Everybody under stood what was meant. Republican Flag Flouted. - "Wilhelm, who fled from his army, and now is exacting 100,000,000 marks from Germany's misery for his memoirs, still calls himself em peror and king; his eldest son calls himself crown prince; in Bavaria Prince Eupprecht reviews his troops and the abdicated grand dukes do likewise in Baden and Hesse. Old Hindenburg performs this ceremony In East Prussia, transported there in a special car, and for weeks is adored like a god and honored more than any general after a triumph. The republican flag is torn down and spat upon wherevw hoisted. The president of Germany is hooted in Munich. Dozens of imperial of ficers in bright dress uniforms take a morning ride in the Thiergarten, followed by uniformed footmen. The old court society gave its balls during the winter In a luxurious hotel, while the devout bourgeoise looked on reverently from the out side. Nationalist leaders in the reichstag publicly declare the peo ple want the monarchy restored and promise an early fulfillment. And the republic allows all this. Unless our leaders are blind of dead, they know numerous officials and all military men regard the republic as only an ugly interim stopgap. This explains why not a single political murder has been expiated and no murderer caught, despite gigantic promises of reward, and why the military murder busi ness can be entered almost without risk. Latent Murder Blunder. The murder of Rathenau was the greatest mistake the military has made. This extraordinarily gifted man was neither a republican nor a democrat at heart. He inherited a. large business after a sound scientific education. He had many talents, was a favorite of the kaiser, received many high orders and wore them proudly and he purchased the Queen Louise country seat from the crown with the right to call it a royal castle. When the war broke out he took charge of all raw materials, and as late as the sum mer of 1918 prophesied a certain military victory, publicly opposing Prince Max of Baden's peace offer that autumn and calling for con tinuation of the war. This man, who supported the re public only because he realized that It was necessary and could thereby fulfill his ambition to hold high office, was maliciously and stupidly slaughtered by anti-Semite mili tarists. The extraordinarily intelligent and ambitious millionaire would have favored any reasonable understand ing with the royalists. I knew him better than anybody. After 25 years of Intimacy, just two years ago, I felt obliged to differ with him and sharply to criticise him. I must now declare that underneath he was drawn mucli more to the right than to the left. His last work was the organization of a great cam paign to prove Germany's innocence of starting the war. He had hoped thus to win the support of the monarchists for the government, not realizing that these people sup ' port such a campaign only for the purpose of discrediting the republic. Favor of Press Courted. Rathenau -tirelessly courted the favor of the press and now he is eulogized. A special law to protect the republic has been introduced and the government says It mustn't happen again, but the same thing was said after Erzberger's assas sination and the only result was that a fine of 5000 marks was im posed on a man who twice demanded in his paper that Harden, Porster and other traitors should be shot. The government still does not dare to compel its troops to carry the flag of the republic and so long as the government does nothing to engender respect, the murder epi demic will continue and those striv ing fervently to purify Germany spiritually, morally and politically will have no weather position wherewith to meet the world's judgment that Germany is a dan gerous animal and must be kept in chains. This is our vicious circle, from which young, bright America must realize that we can be saved only by international action. It is within the range of probability that the convention will offer a complete state ticket and a con gressional ticket to boot. Throughout the downtown district of Portland for days past there have been petition circulators, men and women, soliciting signatures fdr proposed initiative measures. The state grange has been well represented and so has the tax-reduction league. The appeal made by the small army of circulators to the passing throng has been "Sign and reduce taxes." Cie petition ped iers do not argue themerits of their measures, but announce "make the rich pay taxes." They haven't had much trouble securing signatures from passers' by. Income Tax Favored. State Master Spence -of the state grange says that the income tax fathered by that organization is being fully signed up and will have an abundance of names. He also ex pects the tax measure "of the bank ers," as he expresses it, to have enough names to be filed. The lat ter measure is for a constitutional amendment while the income tax of the grange is not If the con stitutional amendment carries even though. the grange bill does also the former will take prece dence and the grange will have had its labors for nothing. Intended also for ' the November ballot is the measure cutting off the mileage for the maintenance of the University of Oregon and the. Ore gon Agricultural, college. "This measure Is sponsored by J. C. Cooper of the tax-reduction clubs. Spearing a voter here and there are circulators who want aid for the "industrial labor party." The petitioners, in soliciting signatures, explain that the name is merely needed in order to name H. A. Up ton, D. Berglund, H. Catching, J. R. Nashelm and M. O. Johns as a state committee. Those who take time to read the petition before affixing their signature will see that they are joining the proposed "industrial labor party." if the "party" can gain official recognition the state will have on the ballot in November a candidate for representative in the third congressional district. Demorats to Meet. When the state reDUblican com. mitee organized a week am Kr.it Chairman Tooze, by resolution, was aumorizea to appoint an executive committee of men and women, which wouia nanale the campaign.

FORTY-ACRE TRACT OF TIMBER BURNED Fire Destroys Large Area on Buckley Avenue. FLAMES UNDER CONTROL Residents in Neighborhood Are Frightened, But County Crews Prevent Spread of Blaze. Forty acres of timber on Buckley avenue, just off Sandy boulevard, were swept by fire yesterday after noon, necessitating the calling out of firefighters by the county sher iff's office and the county road de partment. At a late hour it was reported that there was no danger of the flames spreading and that nothing could be done but let the fire burn itself out. The first call was turrred in by a woman early in the afternoon. Sher iff Hurlburt dispatched Deputies Schirmer, Tally and Beeman to the scene to take charge of the fire- fighting. In the meantime the road- master had been notified and had ordered a crew out, Roadmaster Eatchel taking charge personally. Residents in the neighborhood, of the flames were badly frightened.for a time, judging by the number of excited telephone calls received by the sheriff. - STATE BANK ADVOCATED NON-PARTISANS OP OREGON PROPOSE INSTITUTION.
