WILLIAM It WHEELWRIGHT.
,IS WAR IMPOSSIBLE?
A'
FTER, a powerful indictment of
war as the offspring of graft
and grafters, and murder on a
largo scale. Dr. David Starr
J Jordan, at the O. A. q. .yesterday,
' t declared that the burdea of war
debts on civilized nations' made war
' between them Impossible.
' History disproves this proposition
i in cage of militarist nations. Where
a war lord rules, where hJ3 armies
are at ha inetant call to carry out his
behests, where the fancies of hta'
diplomacy inspire his foreign minis
i fr and urge them to irrevocable ac
tion there war has not been pre
sented by appeals to empty exche
i,j quera and overtaxed people.
The weight of those Wars that
never arrive or are-at least indefin
itely postponed, that it is which
' fresses hopelessly on the. resources
, or all civilized rjations.
vi Most forcibly did Mr. Asquith,
the English premier, demonstrate
''Ms In parliament but a few days
ago. Germany, he said, has added
, 415,090,00 to her debt in the past
. six years'. Austria f 560,000,010 and
Russia the round sum of a billion
dollars. ' .
These Batlors add to their totals
without . even . distant prospect of
their liquidation. .
Italy's war haa cruelly intervened
to cry Immediate halt to the process
of reorganisation and redemption
whereby she had restored order, to
finance, and waa enabled to 'pay off
MO. 000.00 ' from, her total: - The
Turkish war. has reabsorbed . the
?t .000.009 gal thargod 1100,000,-
All along, there were unlrnown in
fluences that opposed the fixing of
the courses in the millage bill.
Though the regents of both Institu
tions voted unanimously for the bill
to fix the statua, the measure as now
proposed provides for postponement.
Perhaps future developments will
disclose the purposes behind the
delay.
However, the bill should be
passed. Governor West is a patri
otic, a Just and a fair governor.
There will be no politics, no bias,,
no subterranean processes, no un
fairness, no Injustice in whatever he
may have to do, should the bill be
passed. I
The known purity of purpose of
the executive is reason for support
ing the bill.
However, '"he Journal reserves the
right to later remind the unknown
persons responsible for it of the
blunder they have made,
T
THE PRISON CENSUS
A'
BOUT tho most hopeless and
depressing document that the
census bureau issues Is the
prison census. Reformers
have been busy In many states, and
they have been passing parole laws
and trying to live up to them. Some
have gone even farther, and have
let a percentage of their internes out
on honor, to work on roads and in
fields and gardens, and get some
hope into' their gloomy lives,-and
this not in , Oregon only by any
means.
.The samo people have thrilled
wtth Indignation at the cruelties and
barbarities in the prisons of the old
regime. They have made burning
protest at the enormities of prison
contract labor where the pale and
failing prisoner has been driven by
brutal guards to, maintain' the (Con
stant hum and rattle of his machine,
when breath failed "hint, and death
approached. Their protests have met
response, and even where' severities
were felt necessary, barbarities have
been stopped." So the friends of. the
prisoners have striven to Induce such
aa .atmosphere of kindness In- the
prison that the convicts ' could be
led. not driven, to ref orm. t ' , ; -
-tTJien come the cold and drv fig
ures, of the censusrand; ttere la no
apparent redaction la numbers of
those behind the bars.' : . -, ,

HE Bund fur Mutter Schuti.
with headquarters :t Tlreslau,
Germany, has undertaken the
gigantic task of forcing on the
German state the obligation to see
that all children born be preserved
and cared for. regardless of parent
ags and condition end that tho eco
nomic and Bocial status of women
shall be reformed.
The membership of the league ex
ceeds now 4 000, and the roll con
tains the names of many of the no
blest women in Germany. It haa a
branch in every large city, and work
ers and sympathizers of all grades
and professions. As in all such cases
one personality carries the power
and burden of success. In the case
of this child welfare league the soul
of the movement Is in Dr. Helen
Stoecker. She Is Its founder, and
the effective advocate of political
legislation to safeguard both mother
and child. -
Her proposals have twice been
considered in the relchstag. There
they have been supported by the
Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg,

ex-minister of the Interior, Count
Posadowsky.
What are the leading principles of
the reform so strongly backed? The
purification "of marriage is demand
ed, and prohibition shall prevent the
union of the unfit. Medical certifi
cates are to be Insisted on, and Dean I
Sumner's regulation at the Chicago
Cathedral is to be no idle dream.
The welfare of the child, physical
ly and morally Is to be sought by
the careful and continuing super
vision of the state. The crying need
for drastic change is seen In the
census returns, which note the reg
istration each year of 180,000 chil
dren without legal and public fath
ers. That is nearly one tenth of the
total birthrate of Germany. The in
fant mortality approaches the fig
ures of Russia and Austria the
highest given among the great Eu
ropean states. '
The league demands for mothers
this protection. Twelve weeks are
to constitute the period of child
birth. Mothers are to receive free
attendance ard medicines from the
state and a special allowance for six
months after1 the birth of each child.
Such benefits are tQ be extended
to all mothers of . the agricultural,

Whan Pamela wa. married to Lord
Kdward Kitigerald, In 1 "92. her mar

StephanU Carolina Sims, daughter of
Oulllaome d Brlxey and Mary Flmi,
native of Fogo Inlands, Newfound
land, ami about nineteen years of age.
Though sh. waa generally regarded as
tha daughter of Madame da Oenlls by
the Puke of Orleana (Kgallte), the fact
of her Newfoundland birth seems to be
substantiated.
Tha years previous to her marriage
Pamela was In Kngland. Up until . thla
time nothing Is known of her girlhood.
In 1713 aha was sent to Franco by
Forth, tha e-aeoretary of the British
embassy at Paris, to be brought up with
th. Orleans children and familiarize
them with English. It Is said that Forth
aeually aaw the child at Chrlstohurch
and sent Orleana the handsomest filly
and the prottiest little girl In England
it Is also very well established that
Madame de Oanlls. being enraptured by
tho girl's beauty and talents, had her
conditlonaly hi pt lied conferring on her
her own name Ptephanlc, and the pet
name Pamela, and that to guard against
extortion by the mother, she paid the
latter, in 1788, for a legal renunciation
of her claims.'
To add to the mystery and to the
romance of Pamela, It is said that the
pretty girl bore a strong llkeners to the
Orleans family. And still further, the
rumor was set afloat in 1785 that
Monsieur do Gcnlls had acknowledged
that Pamela waa hts own child, sent
awav In lnrancy to test ine uuierence
between a child brought up with or with
out knowledge of her status. In contrast

The Graduated Tax B11L
Portland. Or., June 9. To the Editor
or The journal The question of Justice
in taxation has been before tho voters
or uregon ror over four years. First
as a Part way measure to test out the
sirengrn ana sentiment of the people.
Next as a measure to srive the neonle
power io collect ineir local taxes In
their own way. Now aa a measure to
levy a graduated tax on landowners
having over 110,000 -In land values, ex
clusive of improvements. All these
measures have been simple to under.
stand and have Veen fought bitterly by
cue piuce presa 01 urexn as Single tax.
They have only been educational and
have not - contemplated .the establish
ment of the single tax. The measure
proposed now would only go a frwsteps
in that direction, leaving most of th,
community i created land -valuea where
they arte now. . , ;t .' .
Therexia before the people a measure
which must be dlscuased on its merits.
It does oot , apply, th single tax in
Oregon. It provides a partial applica
tion of it. a small part of it. If the
neonle like It they can go further. If
they do not like It they can go back to
the present system, or forward, with or
to any other Ideal tney cnoose. inis
measure is easy to understand, haa no
inker, and will reduce the taxes of
every farmer and useful working cltl
sen of Oregon fully one half. An owner
of less than $10,000 In land values does
not pay any special tax other than the
general tax levy. The owner of 120,000
in land values will pay a special tax of
26 cents on each hundred dollars over
,10,000. This Js gradually increased
until at $100,000 the tax paid woul be
$1160 over and above the regular gen
eral levy. On all over $100,000 of land
values (not considering whether the
land is improved or unimproved) an
owner navs a tax of $3 a hundred. This
measure puts upon the tax rolls not less
than S400.000.000 natural wealth and I
franchises now escaping almost entire-
ly. In 1S09 all the tillable lands in
Oregon were assessed at about $135,000,
000. The objection Is made that It would
drive away capital and do away with all
land values. Yet in Kritisn uoiumoia
tho land values are increasing as the
laws putting more and more public bur
dens on them come into force after ev
ery session of thelrv local and provin
cial lawmaking- bodies. In the four
western provinces of Canada no farmer
Is losing his farm or seeing Its values
bleed away because his improvements
and livestock are not taxed, nor because
timber, mineral and wild lands are
taxed niany times more than tilled
fields. Show English money that It
Will not be taxed. for being Invested In
useful Industries and Improvements and
It will come here, too.

farmers, builders and all other kinds
of business? Will such a condition be
properly discredited as that of general
prosperity? If the single tax will bring
aoout general prosperity, why does Mr.
Veazle or anyone else oppose It?

Cut Out the Frills.
Salem, Or., June 11. To the Editor
of The Journal The communlcatiDn
commenting on our school system by
"A- Teacher" interested me enough to
comment further.
I believe our course of studies needs
the pruning knlfo, and a right sharp
one. We have allowed branch aftur
branch to be added until now the whole
thing has become a tangled mass of
weakened growth.
Few children can posslblv ret a rln
on tho fundamental branches because
too much time is wasted on the minor
ones bearing little or no fruit.
uoys and g-lrls graduate from our
schools with honors (arid rightly so),
they make speechlets with the light
ness and color of a buterfly's wing, but
cannot, as a prominent and successful
business man said, write a letter of ap
