(United Press Letied Wire.) Vancouver, "B. C, July 23. In the harbor of Vancouver exactly two months to a day, during which time every trick known to the Indian mind was used to force a landing in opposi tion to the Canadian immigration au thorities' orders, the Komagata Maru, with 4ts 372 Hindus, weighed anchor early this morning, and escorted by the Canadian cruiser Rainbow, sailed for the Orient. Last night, just when It was be lieved everything was settled and that the Hindus would leave after the gov ernment had provisioned their steamr, came a refusal from the leader of the slkhs to leave this morning as arranged. Mutiny again reigned aboard the ship and the slkhs threw half of the crew ' of Japanese overboard, where they floundered around until picked up by rescuers. The Hindus had demanded as the price of leaving, one chicken for each man . aboard for every day of the re turn trip, two cows, live sheep and other things which the government oouid not furnish. At dawn this morning a government tug went out to the Komagata and handed Captain Yamomota an ultima tum which was at once obeyed and the undesirable orientals started on their long homeward Journey. j Columbia County Democrats to Meet Session Will Bo Keld for Purpose of Perfecting County Organisation, This Evening.

In the "Pacific Builder and En gineer,- published In Seattle. Charles S, Goldberg, a consulting engineer of this city, has an article on single tax from j an engineer's standpoint. Mr. Goldberg takes up at length the question of higher efficiency of en. gineers; the Question of what remuner ation and consideration they should re ceive he reduces to a question of wages and opportunity. "The imperative aim must be to re move the barrier which separates empty stomachs and willing hands from the basis of all our wealth," he declares. "Throw open the opportunities pro vided by a bountiful nature for the ben efit of her children. Give everybody a chance to employ himself according to his ability and reap the full reward for his exertion.'' How can we apply a remedy whica aims so high and embraces so muchT he asks, after setting forth the effect of releasing the earth to the use of man. "It will startle you to learn how sim ple the application is. One might al most be tempted to consider It a joke, if closest scrutiny and most careful analysis did not bear testimony to cer tainly or results. A slight change in our taxation methods is all that Is re quired. Exempt from taxation every article of wealth owing Its existence to human effort; retain nature's store for the benefit of all by taxing society created values and land to its full rent al value. Do that instead of worrying about higher efficiency, and engineer's complaints are ended.
