Government Is not a money-mak-

measured In cash, but In human
happiness. Its revenues are not da

receive In profits of happineas. Tax

and demanded the election of Joseph
Simon, the open town candidate!
In -a sneering editorial May 30,
1909, the Oregonian said:
"Joe Simon Is not paying my elec

prayerful Munly. All right, all right;
let them pull three atrawa and tho
fellows who get the two shortest, save

May 21. 1909, the Oregonian aald:
Mr. Kellaher won't get out for Mr,
Albee: Mr. Albee won't get out for
Mr. Kellaher. Go It, .Betsy; go It,

May 15, 1909, the Oregonian sail:
Mr. Albee la a man of very peculiar
mental make-up. He claims .to ba a
Republican and a apeclal champion of
the direct primary. Tet ha habitually
repudiates both the Republican party
and tha direct primary, Four yeara
ago he waa a Republican candidate ln
the primary for the mayoralty. Judge
Williams received tho nomination. But
.Mr. Albee promptly bolted, and sup
ported Dr. Lana. Two years later,
since the result of the republican
primary didn't meet hla wiahea, he
supported Lana again, who ran aa an
independent, regardleaa of the pri
mary. Now. disregarding the result of
tho primary, which gave Simon more
votes than all others Republicans and
Democrats combined he cornea out as
a candidate for mayor, on his own ao--count.

I inai Mr. Aioea could tell, himself.
! June 1, 1909, the Oregonian said:
' Neither Mr. Albea nor Mr. Kellaher
i , atands for a definite purpose or policy.
I They represent only frayed-out frag
f ments or rag-ends of Republican party
faction, contending for nothing but
r some kind of position or advantage ln
future party movements. The heada
of Kellaher and Albea were turned by
the votes they got last year. -
Tho great body of Republicans are
giving their aupport to Simon. Albee
ana iteuaner, theaefore, . will, "find
t where they live" next Monday.
t . Mr. Simon was the open town
candidate. The Oregonian aupport
- ed him vociferously. It opposed Mr.
. Albee violently. It would oppose
Mr.' Albee now If Mr. Simon were a.
4 candidate on an open town platform.
That Is what makes Its present piety
most ludicrous.
Mr. Simon'a administration was a
notable one for Jungletown. Never
did the roughnecks have such liber
ties. - Never were the men who live
off scarlet women more numerous.
Never was the tenderloin so undis
turbed.
But tne oregonian approved
Simon and ' applauded Simon. It
sneezed every time Simon took
snuff. It pirouetted every . time
Simon said "thumbs up."
It was Simon's organ. It laughed
when Simon laughed, and sobbed
when Simon sobbed. ' It winked at
goings-on in Jungletown because
Simon winked at goings-en in Jun-
gletown.
, . It praised' Simon, open town and
all, throughout his administration,
and . at the end demanded his re
election. After the primaries, it
bolted ; the Republican nomination
and brought out Mr. Simon as an
independent candidate, against the
regular Republican nominee, it did
everything In Its power to re-elect
the open town-candidate, and that,
only two yeara ago.
Mr. Albee did not deserve what
tha Oregonian said about him four
ytara ago. Nor does Mr. Rushlight
deserve - what the - Oregonian sayB
'bout him and his supporters now.
t What It. cays in campiagns is worth
less. .
It ia only for Mr. Albee now be

BANKS TO PAY INTEREST
SECRETARY" M'ADOO of the
treasury Qepartment has dis
covered that Uncle Sam's idle
money can work for the peo
.: Pl, aa well aa for the banksw When
the secretary recently . announced
that tha government would place
a51Q.00u.O0a -aa dapoalt wUa - tho
banks if tha banks would pay two
jer cent interest, the prediction was
It la alarming - that this should be
tha case. Why should any man In free
America be afraid of any other man?
The timidity of America's busi
ness men amazes the nresident.
"Think of it." he says, "a nation
full of genius, and yet paralyzed by
timidity!" He describes Big Bus!
ness as tied to the apron strings of
government, going about seeking
favore, with the strongest getting
the biggest favors.
But the president sees hope In
that the general revival of con
science has not been confined to
men fighting special privilege.
The awakening of conscience ha. at
tended to those who were enjoying spe
cial privileges, and ! thank God that
me Dusiness men or thla country are
beginning to see our economic organ
isation ln its true light, aa deaden-
lng aristocracy of privilege from which
tney tnemseivea must escape.
America is declared to be as rich
as the people who make her finan
cial centers rich,
And if those people hesitate In thMr
enterprise, cower ln the face of power,
hesitate to originate designs of their
own, then the very fountains which
make these placea abound In wealth ara
dried up at their aource.
Monopoly ln America is carrying a
body of water such as men ought
not to be asked to carry.
When by regulated competition that
Is to say, fair competition, competi
tion that fights fair they are put
upon their mettle, they will have to
economise, and they cannot economize
unless they get rid of that water. I
do not know how to squeeze the water
out, but they will get rid of It If yot
put them to the necessity.
There is inspiration in the presi
dent's brief mention of his fight ln
New Jersey. He proposes to dupli
cate that fight in the nation.
I have lived ln a state that waa
owned Dy a series of corporations.
They handed It about" It was at ono
time owned by the Pennsylvania rail
road: then It was owned by the public
service corporation. It waa owned by
me jiuuuc service corporation, when I
was admitted, and. that corporation has
been very resentful ever alnce that I

But I really did not aee any reason
why the people should give no their

I asked them for their title deeda and
they couldn't produce them, and there

The president proposes a program
of general advantage as his program
of new fregdron nOayOTmolrf
every monopoly that has resisted
dissolution ha resisted the real jn-
bonda as collateral, and putting the
one per cent at compound Interest,
thus accumulating a sinking fund,
which in forty-seven years would be
sufficient to nay off the arovnrn.
ment Bonds. At the end of a fifty
year period the state's bonds would
be returned canceled.
The plan also contemplates that
one half of the state's annual in
terest payment be returned to the
state for road maintenance under
government supervision, thus reaulr-
mg tno state to pay only one per
cent into the sinking fund and an
other one per cent toward inter
est charges on the government
bonds, the federal government nay-
ing the other two per cent Interest.
Under Mr. Bourne's plan of dis
tribution among the states, Oregon's
allotment would be $16,600,000, but
Oregon and twenty other states
would be required to amend their
constitutions to take advantage of
the proposed law. Twenty-seven

THE TAX ARGUMENT
A
FRAUD is being perpetrated
upon the people of Portland.
Tfiey are being told that -the
size of tax levies are always

city government. They, are being
told that business administration of
city affairs necessarily means cheese
paring policies, that voters-ahould
Judge alone by figures on their tax
receipts.
No greater fraud was eyer at
tempted upon an intelligent people.
If the tax argument is offered in all
seriousness, it is evidence of ignor
ance; if it is offered deliberately as
a fraud, it presupposes 1 ignoraot
voters. '
Business administration of gov

business administration of industry.
