purehaBenhla farm, or who, already
owning It has in mind to Improve it
' - The latest suggestion wis .offered
. i before the economic section of the
; British association at Its meeting at
i Dundee, Scotland, on September 9.
i The author was Mr. Allan McNeill.
A The4)ropositlott Is to utlllxe, through
the government, a proportion of the
. funds at the credit of the postoffice
i savings banks. By the law at pres-
ent in force in England these funds
' ? purchase consols - a security that
. j pays 2!4 per cent interest. It Is pro-
posed to supply from this source
. enough money for the local land
1 banks to begin business with the
- farmers the land banks paying 3 per
--j cent average Interest to the govern-
I nient These sums would be advanced
? to the farmers, under proper auper-
rislon, and would be made repayable
I In 10, 15 or 20 years, and the inter-
" est paid by the land banks would
S range between 2 and 3 per cent.
' The payments by the farmer would
? Include the land bank interest and
enough in addition to provide a sink-
' " Ing fund to replace the capital with
1 in the term of the loan, and a small
""" I addition for expenses of the bank.
The lajnd hanks would not be organ-
! bed to make profits, but uiy profits
- 'actually made would go to a re
''tjerve fund,
' ' !. While thenew plan has features
resembling those, in effect in France
-and Germany, the suggestion of the
: postoffice eavlngs banks as the
! eource of the original funds Is new.
PERSIA'S LAST HOPE
.
I
N- the poBBlbilltles opened by the
threatening conditions in the
"near east may be - seen Persia's
last hope. Both Austria and Rus
sia are being stirred into action to
stop the attack by the Balkan r.ates
on Turkey by persuasion and lnflu-
ence, i possible, but if not, then by
!the advance into their territories of
advance guards of their enormous
-armies.
But it is very doubtful if either
, England or Germany would stand
Idly by, and see Austria move south
' wards to Salonika, and Russia to-
wards Constantinople and the Bos-
-phoruft,
One of Germany's pet projects Is
the Bagdad railroad. Many English
men, and some of them men of much
"influence and experience in the east,
L.0Uld.lat rather see the. Bagdad rail
road finished and Germany given a
; free hand in the development of the
great country that It will open, than
to see that road obstructed by Brit
ish7 machinations, and the Russian
trans-Persian railroad built to the
very gate or inaia.
'"The" treatment of the ancient
kingdom of Persia by Russia, and
her unwilling accomplice. England,
has roused deep resentment among
a large proportion ot trie liberals or
Britain, who have been dragged by
. the foreign minister, Sir Edward

ALBANY COLLEGE
HE latest candidate for "public
approval for rebuilding, en
largement, and progress among
the schools for higher educa
tion in Oregon is Albany college.
The college, in its present location,
has an excellent reputation for ser
vice during many years, But its op
portunities have outgrown its ca
pacity. The trustees had to elect be
tween expending a large sum on re
pairs and enlargement of existing
buildings and equipment, and of un
dertaking the great responsibility of
acquiring a considerable tract of
land, commensurate with the pros
pective Albany college, and of pro
viding in due time the cost of the
new structures.
They have taken the bold course,
regardless of the labor and energy
it will involve. They announce that
every effort will be made to have a
recitation hall and "two dormitories
ready for use during the year 1913,
at a cost ranging between $125,000
and $140,000.
A very attractive sketch of the new
campus and of the Intended college
structures accompanies the trustees'
announcement. They have done
very wisely to determine on their
requirements, and on the Btyle of
architecture that commends itself to
them, at, this earl day. The amount
of money involved Is estimated at
$500,000.
Thus, another proof is offered
that the day of the email college has
not passed. No exception must be
taken to the adjective "small." 1
Many parents prefer for their
boys and girls the-smaller classes
and more individual attention that
are features of the smaller Institu
tion. And they lay stress also on
the atmosphere that surrounds such
colleges, which, without sectarianism
and excluslveness, yet admit the re
ligious Influence as a means of up
building the Christian character
within college walls. The fact that
so strong an appeal is made, and is
responded to, by the members of
some special branch of the Christian
church to provide funds to establish
and endow such institutions Indicates
desire that the tenets of that portion
of the church shall survive, and shall
be explained and perpetuated in such
college as may be In question.
For both the state and the private
college there is yet ample room.
OBSTRUCTING THE TRACK
A
YEAR ago this month the Chi
nese revolution broke out.
Against unheard of odds Dr.
Sun Yat Sen and his associates
made their ground good.
The new Republic inherited the
treaty obligations and the debts of
its predecessor, and these the new
government assumed" without pro
test. Its principal creditors of the
outside world were the six nations,
Britain, Russia, France, Germany,
Japan and the United States. Of
these Russia and Japan are lnter-
ested in holding China down until
they cinch their respective holds on

inces of Mongolia and Manchuria,

EFFICIENCY A PARADOX
UNDER the system ot "scientific
management" "formulated by
Mr." F. W. Taylor, In his pur-
. . . - jl .1.. CL 2
suit oe industrial euiciency, iiib
results of its application are said to
be greater production with no great
er human effort, or the Bame produc
tion with less effort. ,
By applying to bricklaying Im
proved methods of supplying bricks
and mortar ready to the hand of the
workman, and simplifying and east
ing the effort. he has to put forth it
Is said that the present normal re
sult of 120 bricks per man per hour,
set In place, Is Increased to 850
bricks per hour. In handling pig
Iron for "the supply of iron works a
tonnage of 12 tons per man per
day was,. Increased to 47 tons. In
shoveling dirt and sand the quanti
ty of 16 tons per day by one man
on the particular ground tested was
raised to 69.
The principle of scientifically
studying the methods used today in
cotton manufacture, and saving time
wherever possible, having been ap
plied in certain mills the output, it
is stated, was practically doubled.
Similar experiments in other indus
tries brought similar results.
It Is urged by the advocates of
these new methods that Increased
production does not involve undue
exertion on the part of the worker.
Increased wages rewarding to some
extent the Increased output were wil
lingly paid by the employers. Thus,
the shoveller's wages rose from $1.15
to $1.88 per day, while the cost of
production fell from 72 cents to 33
cents per ton. But, although the
rate of wages per man is increased
the number of men required for a
certain ptece of work is greatly re
duced, and the total sum paid week
ly in wages falls.
It Is not surprising that organized
labor is bitterly opposed to the new
system, and It seems inevitable that
attempts to Introduce it generally
will arouBe determined antagonism,
both In America and in England.
The reason is obvious. A general
displacement of workers would fol
low. Different employment would
have to be found for very many
workers unless a generally increased

every sphere of Industry could be
provided. Of this there seems to
be no prospect.
The aim of economic production is
to attain the greatest results'1 with
the least possible expenditure of en
ergy, in this tne new metnoas suc-
eedIlut-.iJ&..
The chief object of production is the
well being of all the members of so
ciety, not of the few. But the new
science of efficiency would certainly
help and strengthen the few, but how
about the many?
A solution of this paradox is very
widely sought. To many of such
students the most hopeful outlook is
in the wider distribution of the land,
and the establishment thereon of a
vast number of those who are ex
pending their lives for wage returns
which barely suffice to keep the wolf
of hunger from the door.
PEACE OB WAR
THE cables tell today of the
scales balancing between peace
and war In tho near east.
A condition Is disclosed
which has been several times paral
leled rn the past with some exactness.
Oyer Macedonia and .Albania . the
Turks rule with the same ferocity as
a hundred years and more 4go. The
Turkish officials treat the Christian
majority in these regions as "dogs"
according to the ancient Moslem
fashion. The reforms that followed
the deposition of Abdul Hamid do
not run there. Outbreaks of the
mistreated Christians have been fre
quent, but repressed in the end with
cruelty and accompanied by the de
vastation of the districts where out
breaks oceurred. These Christians
are of Bulgar, Servian and Greek
stock, and their sufferings have
called loudly for relief to Bulgaria,
Servla and Greece.
The appeal being heard, strong
representations to the Turkish gov
ernment have followed. The reme
dies called for have been the exten
sion of autonomy to Macedonia and
local reforms in Albania. These the
Turks have refused and the agitation
for war followed.
The great powers of Europe are
fully alive to the possibilities of con
flagration that would follow, In all
likelihood the first explosion of war.
France has taken the lead in pro
posing terms of settlement, and sug
gesting to her associates that they
be. jjpfoltsi. 0OheUttB'JJUngXurk

Says Not Caused by Single Tax,
Portland, Or., Oct 4.TO the Edltoi
of Tbe JfournL In Thursday's Usu
of Ths Journal, J'atlxen"Uks y-0.ur-l
ter of a column to try to answer some
of my facts as stated In a communica
tion last Sunday, "Cltlaen" is undoubt
edly a wis statesman, and thinks he Is
well qualified to advise others bow to
vote, but sincle tax has not caused the
rapid settlement that Is taking place
In the prdvlncesto the north of us.
The causa Is the clieap prairie lands In
a , new country being reached by new
railroads, and th extremely favorable
laws and regulations made by the gov
ernment and the easy terms made by,
the land grant railroads for the ac
quirement of these fine, rich, virgin
prairie lands. Thousands of elderly
men, who have heretofore taken home
steads, preemptions and timber claims
in the United States, have sold them for
good prlees and, having used their land
rights here, migrate to a new field,
where they can again acquire land un
der the land laws. The Canadian Pa
clflo Railway offers, In addition to ex
tremely low prices and easy terms on
Us lands, "to workers of farms in the
United States having- sufficient agrl
cultural experience and equipment, to
loan money for ten years at 6 per cent
for the purpose of erecting buildings
and completing- the Improvements on
their newly purchased western Cana
dian farms." Who Is making any such
favorable offer as that In the United
States? To thOBe rich lands, coupled
with the extremely easy terms and the
eay work of putting into cultivation
those prairies, Is solely and entirely
due the rapid settlement of the north
ern provinces, and single tax has noth
ing to do with It. These same men who
are now taking lands In the north will,
as soon as they can sell for "all the
traffic will bear," return to the milder
climate of th United States, lust as
Mr. Counts did.
The total assessment of property at
Prince Rupert. B. C. (population esti
mated at 6000). is, for 1912, $21,686,685,
land alone being 119,618,756, leaving
$2,067,830 made up by assessment of
other property. So they do not have
single tax there.
To my mind the single tax and the
graduated tax measures ought -to be
beaten out of sight, for they create a
privileged class of all owners of per
sonal property of every nature, who will
enjoy all the benefits of government
and not contribute a single cent to Its
support.
The straw vote recently taken by
me in Hood River county fairly shows
what the farmers and fruitralsers think
about It, as they voted three to on
against it, and two to one in favor of
women suffrage. Don't worry, "Mr.
Cltlaen." they ar Intelligent, well edu
cated people, and fully understand the
Iniquity of these proposed laws. They
will watch these snakes when election
day rolls aroundr-

g0 soon rorgets the favors of the past,
permit me to recall a Uttle history. A
little over 20 years ago the legislature
of this state created an additional of
fice of circuit Judge In Multnomah
county. The laboring people of Mult
nomah county felt that they, as well as
the corporations, should have a friend
on the bench. Accordingly the Knights
of Labor, through their several assem-
ated Trades assembly, which organlza
tion was composed of delegates from
the several labor unions then In Port
land. The candidate agreed upon as sat
isfactory to the. Federated Trades as
sembly was the jams aa ,thejnre-4
celvlng (5 per oent of the votes of the
Knights of Labor In Portland. Sylves
ter Pennoyer was then governor. A
committee of three was selected from
the two bodies to wait upon the gov
ernor and express to htm labor's choice
for circuit Judge. The members of the
committee were Martin Ready, president
of the Ironmoulders' union, and delegate
to the Federated Trades assembly; Al
bert Tozier, presiding officer of Mount
Hood Assembly Knights of Labor, and
also a delegate from Multnomah Typo
graphical union to the Federated Trades
assembly, and secretary of the latter
organization, and John J. Kelly, presi
dent of one of the assemblies of Knights
of Labor. The committee waited upon
Governor Pennoyer and presented the
following.
'To Governor Sylvester Pennoyer:
The Federated Trades assembly and the
assemblies of the Knights of Labor In
the city of Portland in their regular
conventions assembled, have recommend
ed for your consideration for the posi
tion of circuit Judge of Multnomah
county one who has been our friend
and we believe he will prove true to the
trust Imposed should you give him the
appointment. You, governor, have ever
proven true to labor's cause, and labor
asks that you name Honorable M. G.
Munly. Do this, and but this, and we
will shoulder the blame for any mis
takes he may make."
Governor Pennoyer recognized labor's
request, and the records of the supreme
court will show that Judge Munly had
fewer reversals than any of his prede
cessors. , ALBERT TOZIER.
Socialism and Vested Rights.
Portland,"3 Oct. 6. To the Editor of
The Journal A Prohibitionist states In
The Journal that his platform declares
for the "absolute protection of the right
f labor without Impairment of the
rights of capital."
This wrlter.';who apparently was a
Union soldier in the Civil war, was no
doubt In favor of the rights of the slave!
"without Impairment of the, rights" of
the slaveowner. The Interests of wage
worker and capitalist are as divergent
as those of master and slave. Neither
the Prohibitionists nor anyone else can
free an exploited class without depriv
ing the exploiters of their privileges.
Under slavery, man was directly ex
ploited through absolute ownership by
a master; under feudalism, he was. less
directly exploited through the feudal
fiords' ownership of the land; and today
he U exploited ny me capitalists- own

SEVEN FAMOUS BIBLES
Douay
The original Douay Version of the
Bible, which Is the foundation on which
nearly all English Catholic versions are
still based, owed its existence to the
religious controversies of the sixteenth
century. Many Protestant versions of
the Scriptures had been Issued and were
used largely by the reformers for po
lemical purposes. The rendering of
some of the texts showed evident signs
of controversial bias, and It becarn of
the first importance for the English
Catholics of the day to be furnished
with a translation of their own, on the
accuracy of which they could depend
and to which they could appeal In the
course of argument.
The work of preparing such a ver
sion was undertaken by the members
of the English college at Douay, In
Fltftiders, founded by William Allen
(afterwards cardinal) in 1568. Th
chief share of the translating was
borne by Dr. Gregory Martin, formerly
of Bt. John's college, Oxford. His text
was revised by Thomas Worthington,
Richard Bristowe, John Reynolds and
Allen himself all of them Oxford men.
A series of notes was ndded, designed
to answer the theological arguments of
the reformers. These were prepared by
Allen, assisted by Bristowe and Worth
ington. The object of the work was, of course,
not limited to controversial purposes.
In the case of the New Testament, es
pecially, it was meant for pious use
among Catholics. The fact, however,
thatthe primary end" was controversial
explains the course adopted by the
translators. In the first place they
translated directly, not from the original
Hebrew or Greek, but from the Latin
Vulgate of Bt. Jerome. This had been
declared authoritative for Catholics by
the Council of Trent; but it was also
commonly admitted that the text- was
purer than In any manuscripts at that
1 !L.iltalli--i!L-JJl92E
many
technical words were retained bodily.
In the year 1578, owing to political
troubles, the college was temporarily
transferred from Douay (which watt
then in the dominions of the. king of
Spain),- to.Rhalma,-ttd 4urlng its so-
Journ there, in 1582 the new testament
was published and became consequently
known as the "Rhelins Testament." It
contained no episcopal Imprimatur, but
a recommendation was appended signed
slons to the workers decrease profits.
Socialists demand the abolition of the
profit system, denying the right of one
man to take profit from the labor of
another. It is legal, but so once was
chattel slavery. It Is wrong and un
just, and will be abolished as was
slavery.
The Prohibitionists and the other old
parties stand for this exploitation of the
wage system, but soma among them
would remove many of the most barbar
ous features, such as child labor, ex
cessive hours of work, starvation wages,
alcoholism, etc.; and this, declares our
Prohibitionist, would be a "higher clv
lllxatlon than any other political party
-c an eVenudr earn- of', ,.
On the contrary, It is no nearer the
Socialists' Ideal than 9. movement for
the humane and considerate treatment
of the slave would have compared with
the abolitionists' demand for absolute
freedom.
Mr. Prohibitionist, the Socialists do
not dream of, but demand a civilization
where all the able bodied will receive
the full value of their labor; where use
ful work and that only will give any
person the benefits of civilization;
where the weak, aged or crippled will
receive care as their rlghti and not as
charity; where all children shall be
properly cared for and educated; where
no man physically fit to marry need be
financially unable trov do so; where not
one single woman will nave , need to
sell- her body for bread; where no
woman or child will be punlshed by pov
erty and hardship as a result of wrong
doing by husband or father; where no

Khetms. The old testament was delayed
by want of means, until tho whole Bible
was eventually published in two quarto
volumes, in 1609 and 1610, by which
time the college and returned to Douay,
and the recommendation was signed by
three doctors of the ..university. Thus
the New Testament appeared nearly 80
years before the Anglican "Authorized
Version," and although not officially
mentioned as one of the versions to be
consulted. It Is now commonly recog
nized to have had a large influence on
ths King Janwjs version.
The Rhelms Testament was reprinted
twlca at Antwerp In 1600 and 1621
and a fourth edition was issued at
Kouen in 163S. Then it was ajlowed
to rest for over a century before a
ftfth edition appeared, with some slight
changes, dated 1728, but without any
place of publication stated. It is be
lieved to have been printed In London
and was edited by Dr. Challoner (after
wards bishop), and Father Blyth, a Car
melite. The Douay Bible was never
after this printed abroad. A sixth edi
tion of Rhelms Testament was print
ed at Liverpool In 1788, and a seventh
dfed Dublin, 1803, which was the last
Catholic edition. Several Protestant
editions have appeared, the best known
being a curious work by Rev. William
Fulke, first published in 1589, with the
Rhelms text and that of the Bishops'
Bible In parallel columns. A Protestant
edition of the Rhelms Testament was
also brought out by Leavltt, of New
York, in 1834.
Although the Bibles In use at the
present day by the Catholics of Eng
land and Ireland are popularly styled
th0 Douay Version, they are most Im
properly so called. They are founded,
with more or less alteration, on a series
of revisions undertaken by Bishop Chal
loner in 1749-52. His object was to
