Robert ti. lpgtnolt IT IS already apparent that some! of the "Interests" are planning to help the tax reductionists "reduce" taxes. Their printed propaganda has ap peared. But it. makes no demand for an income tax. It is because it carries no demand for an income tax that you know pretty definitely that the propaganda is theirs. Who else would want the sources of revenue to remain as now, with the principal tax charge against land? Who else would be out with a clarion call for taxes to be re- KICK THEM OUT? REPRESENTATIVE WILLIAMS of Illinois has a most remark able conception of government, why it U. and Its purposes. He spent several minutes of the time of thehouae of representatives a few days ago discoursing on Will 1L Hays, his political career, his duties as a cabinet officer, and his failure in the portfolio held by him prior to his Jump: to the movies. "- ...1... iirmi 1 . iieprcwniaiivc nniiami uranaca the .ex-postmaster-general as a dis mal! failure- And the reason, ac- cording to Williams, that Hays was a failure was becaune he did not turn all, the Democrats out of the postal service and supplant them with Re publican. That was the only tasis Of 'Williams' attack. It la apparent that the Illinois legislator thinks the government was set up and Is maintained merely for the purpose of giving Jobs to poli ticians. His remarks indicate that he thinks the only reason for elec tions la to see whether the Demo crats or the Republicans get the , Jobs. It doesn't matter what kind f, service the public gets; It only matters as to who gets the spoils. - The public doesn't feel quite as Mr. Williams does. People gener any want real government service. , They want, among other things, the i best possible postal service at the least possible cost. If that object can be Attained better with a mixture f Democrats and Republicans In , the offices than with all of one party the public will be found quite favorable to a mixture in office Mr. Hays may not have appointed the postmasters that Mr. Williams wasted appointed. He may have overlooked a stray Democrat or two in his department. He may have .committed other errors during his ' administration. But on the whole he was a capable postmaster-general, and his Ideas of government and Its purposes far surpass those of his critic from Illinois. duced but for the land to still re main the chief source of revenue? Who else would be out with a fine scheme and big promises to give relief from taxes but to still make the farmers pay the most of the bill Who killed Senator Walter Pierce's income tax Taill in the house after it passed the senate at the 1919 ses sion? Who killed the Pierce income tax bill at the 1917 session? Who are the gentry that want no income tax in Oregon? Are they people with little incomes? A fierce battle Is raging now in Oregon over a state income tax! The big tax dodgers realize that the rural communities and many others are aroused and are bent on secur OUT OF, THE LAND V .OF EGYPT A New "Exodus , in W hich Pharaoh and His Hosts, as Represented 'by the Administrators for Imperial .

Editors Speculate Upon the V Future of the Land - of the Nile. , v Egypt, that "cradle of an civilisation. plaything of a myriad conquerors," is "invited to come into its own." the St. Louis Globe Democrat thinks, by the roclamation ending the British pro tectorate and. granting tne Egyptian people the right to their own govern ment and institutions. But whether that action Is a, triumph of "British liberal- ibm. as the Newark News, for instance. finds it, or merely getting rid of a hot potato,- is a matter of some disagreement in American papers, as is also the ex tent to -which . Egypt becomes , really "free under its new status. Certainly the adoption of such a radical policy on the part of Great Britain, following so closely upon its release of Ireland, Is one of .'many refutations of the notion that no changes have been effected in the " realm of international dealings by the upheavals of the war." says the Manchester (N. H.) Union, and moreover the Youngstown Vindicator declares that "it sets at naught the charges of those who declared that in seizing Egypt Brit ain got more out of the war than any other country." a a However, it is porn ted out that Ene land controlled Egypt for many years be fore She established the actual protect crate at the outbreak of the war, and the Cleveland Plain Dealer interprets this step toward withdrawal merely as "unofficial recognition of the failure" of TT IS entirely logical:, and wholly -- fortunate that Michigan, the home state of Senator; Newberry, is to be the first id have thejppportunity to repudiate the doctrine of senate seats for sale.

ARGUES WITH MR. BEAN Particularly With Reference to the Tax Percentage Paid by Land. Portland. March 7. To the Editor of The Journal Here is the truth on Mr. Bean's platform, which Is: "Retrench ment, economy and law enforcement." Retrenchment from what? The system he!-has been representing Why econ omy? .Because he sees the result of that system? Why law enforcement?' Is anyone opposing this policy? His list of state tax burdens did not include the unnecessarily heavy item of law enforce ment When Mr. Bean stated at Eugene : "Oregon lacks 15 per cent of adopting Henry George s single tax, since 85 per cent of our taxes are from land, which in some cases paid full rental value. and follows with "Oregon's debt is 31S,000,KM)." etc, this is rank error. ant not a single taxer, but I believe I will vote for it this fall, for I give ana demand the truth. If a man de ceives as a candidate, he will deceive asi a governor. Oregon did not collect 85 per cent from land. She collected 100 per cent" from land and labor. Mr. Bean can name no other source from which value comes with which to pay taxes. it tie can, I will retrench, economise my! criticism and enforce it with my vote for him. It is the acme of deceo- tion to tell the people that single tax is '85 per cent, or any other per cent, the cause of our "ills. Oreeon has been continually under Republican corpora tion control, with Mr. Bean a part of the system. Under thia system taxes increased (his own figures) 244 per cent in 10 years, and I have no recollection of any single tax laws. If there are any. Republicans passed them under ficti tious names. I, agree with" Mr. Bean that Oregon needs a change, but not with his state ment that Oreeon ha hail th. i-tunr. right along that it now needs. a defender of another Republican can- I COMMENT AND NEWS IN BRIEF SMALL CHANGE All the dellar-a-vear men have rone back to the old wage scale of a million a month. . . e After his unfriendlv disnlav on Sun day we've turned the weather man's picture to the walL , The income tax doesnt seem neriouslv to deter the human desire to earn more money each year.

It Is a rumor from Lon don. They say across the' water that he wantsHo run In 1924. It is suggested that he will hold his pres ent post only two years, and that thereafter he will resign and return . to America to bulldlhie political or ganisation.

He finds that silk shirts had bad effect when bought in quan tity by workingmen who could think or no better investment of war wages. He charges that automobiles bought by those who could not af ford them led to many aHisastrous Joy ride. It harmed boys, hesays. when they received over - liberal amounts of unearned spending money from indulgent but foolish fathers. When girls were allowed to dress in finer and more conspicuous gar ments than their mothers ever wore they began to place frivolity above modesty and' Jazz above common sense. This is all true, but it Is not funda mental, it is only the symbol; the cause lies deeper. If this is all there is to the de cadence of the home it will soon be corrected. The spending spree is even now ending for lack of money to carry it on. Hectic silk shirts have become dust cloths. Skirts of plainer fabric are again getting on more intimate terms with ankles than with knees. Automobiles upon which payments are incomplete hive come back from Joy rides Into Joy less custody of their salesmen. If home depends upon economy the stress o the times will answer for reformation.

And there was the other Port land pervert who enticed two boys of six and i eight out to a secluded spot in the hills, kept them there most of the day and arranged for a, similar engagement for the next day with one of them.

'When' I used to go to school, "5 yearfc ago." said Uncle Sammy Burch, when I visited him in his home at Rlckreall, in Polk county, recently, "the geogra phies called all the country between the Missouri river and the Rocky Mountains the 'Great American Desert.' When I was going to 'school I never expected to cross the 'Great American Desert." let alone see it developed into a land of orchards, pastures and grain fields:" a . a Uncle Sammy Burch was 91 years old on January 13. ,He crossed the plains in 1847. "My father. Judge Burch. took up a claim on the Rlckreall." he said to me. "In 1849, when I was 18, I went to the California gold fields. In 1851 I was mining in Yreka.

John and Limpy. were burning cabins and killing settlers wherever they found them. We moved northward in pursuit and came on them in the Evans Creek country, toward the latter part or Ausrust. The Indians had built a log fort on the hillside. Our men charged. General Lane was shot through the arm. Captain Alden was wounded and Captain Pleasant Armstrong of Yamhill county was instantly killed by a bullet through the heart. When the Indians recognized General Joe Lane they called out to' him to have his men stop firing and they would also stop, as they wanted to have a peace talk. General Lane ordered us to cease firing, and walked, alone, into the Indian camp, where he agreed With the Indians on an armistice for 10 days, after which peace talk should be held at Table Rock. "General Lane sent for General Joel Parmer of Dayton, who was superin tendent of Indian affairs for Oregon. We camped near Table Rock,- waiting for the conference to be held. While we were waiting George L. Curry, who wa: acting governor, sent reinforcements. Major Rains of Fort Vancouver fur nlshed guns and ammunition and Cap tain J. X.

General Lane surcested to Captain Nesmith that they go unarmed to the Indian camp and negotiate the treaty. Captain Nesmith. who knew the character of the Rogue River Indians. protested and said that while he was willing to obey as a soldier and to lead his company of volunteer rs val rvmen into the fight, he did not feel like going unarmed and giving himself into the power of the Indians. General Lane id, "I have riven my word to the In diana to go unarmed. If youare afraid to go as an interpreter. I will not in sist." Captain Nesmith said. "I haven't any more fear than you have, only I know we shall all be killed. However. if you insist on going I will go as in terpreter." On the morn Inr of Kentemher in 1833. General Lan.

Cap tain Smith s company of dragoons could be plainly seen, drawn op in formation In the valley below. General Lane and Superintendent Palmer made speeches to the Indians, which were translated by "Captain Nesmith. When a Rogue River Indian spoke another Indian would translate his speech into Chinook. so that Captain Nesmith could under stand It, and Captain Nesmith would then translate it into English. a e e In the midst of the conference a naked Indian ran Into camp, covered with sweat and dust, and said a com pany of white men on Applegate creek had captured an Indian that morning. tied him to a tree and killed him. In stantly all was commotion. The Indians seised their guns - and the Interpreter told Captain Nesmith they bad decided to tie the white men to treea and kill them to avenge the death of the Indian.
