. Such ' are ' the conclusions an
nounced in an Outlook article a week
or two ago by Dr. Max G. Schlapp,
who la the head of the department
of nerve diseases. in the Pest Grad

New York City, and -holds a similar
position ; in the Cornell Medical
School.- ; The gist of the article Is
. that the strain of modern Industrial
and social and business life, which
has reached a pitch undreamed of
before,: is telling on both men and
- women, but especially on women,
to an extent that can be traced bio
logically and structurally. He Indi
cates that to this, stress and strain
is due the Impairment In vigor and
in faculties of many children who are

to the same causes are traceable the

the proportion of mentally defective,

In this as In all other matters the
almighty dollar reigns. The absurd
extravagances provided for the first
class passengers, such as swimming
baths and gardens, and ball rooms.
Justify, In the companies' eyes, the
enormous charges that make these
great ships pay. and the bigger the
ship the less the proportionate cost
per passenger of running it. 'The'
same principle holds which inspires I
th twentieth century train of Pull-'
Single Tax. '
Portland, Or., Abrll 27. To th Edi
tor of The Journal In your Issue of
the 26th, Ell Albert of Ashland tells us
" that the Idea of single tax Is erroneous.
and there is no loglo to prove It other
wise." Since w have some of the orin-
ciples of th single tax In actual
operation In Oregon, as compared
to that of Mexico, or of Eng
land until th Lloyd-George - budget
two years ago; and since they'have fur
ther atepstln that direction in British
Columbia working so satisfactorily that
iney go sua iurtmar next year, I am
afraid Friend Albert la, somewhat In
need of more traveling' and experience
before being competent to pass on th
suDjeot.
His contention that a tax on- mort
gages can be collected from the lender
and, shifted from' the borrower shows
that he has not thought out the first
principles or economics, when a man
buys land on time, the unpaid amount
stands against him In precisely tb
aam manner aa if he borrowed It from
a bank and paid It to the teller, giving
a .mortgage to tne DanK on the property
for security. If mortgages ara taxed tha
Interest ohargea ar increased. No man
can borrow money for. th same rate if
tne lenaer pays tne tax. Any bank clerk
can demonstrate that To talk of taxing
mortgages is pure not air without any
foundation whatever. If people sell land
on time any attempt to make them pay
taxes on tne unpaia amounts would on
erate in precisely the same manner. We
hav had 10 yeara experlenc with that
sort of roily m Oregon.
