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.

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. -

addition to the Upper Coweeman
fire, which has been brought under

blaze.

Luebke place, where a bad fire haz
ard was left by last year's silver
thaw, which broke down trees. The
extent of this fire could not be de
termined, but it Is surrounded by
virgin timber.
