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.

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.

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.

continually under Republican corpora

in 10 years, and I have no recollection
of any single tax laws. If there are any.

Thia article has to do with the Rocne Itieet
Indian war. In it are related stirring episodes
in which General Joe Lane and other noted pio
neers figured and in which their intrepidity
in trying circumstances was conspicuously dis
played. '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. I -put in the
summer of 1S5J shoveling gravel into a
sluice box on Jackson creek, at Jackson
ville. Oregon. In 1853 I went to the
beach mines In Coos and Curry coun
ties. ' I did my first Indian fighting that
year. I was with General Joe Lane
when he was wounded late that sum
mer. The Indians went on the warpath
in August and burned the settlers cab
ins from Cow creek southward almost
to Jacksonville. General Lane was in
the Rogue River valley at the time and
was asked by the Bottlers to take

It is undeniable that tremendous
salaries are in many cases paid to
stars and large incomes are bestowed
on lesser lights. Perhaps the payees
have before! been in near want. They
Buddenly receive swollen riches.

public pays increased charge for ad

Has the industry not been inflated
to a degree very damaging to itself?
Commercial finds the new arrangement
one in which "an alliance Is to take the
place of the old protectorate," and the
New York Herald contends that no
friend of the Egyptians could wish it
otherwise," for. . the sensible, thinking
ones among them "know that their free
dom is no less secure because they re
tain the shadow ' of British rule , along
the Sues," and, given the opportunity
to establish "the government and insti
tutions best suited to their desires," the
Herald ts confident that "time and the
intelligence of the people of Egypt will
do the rest." ' ' )
As the Waterbury Republican points
out, they are "free to go ahead and work
out their own salvation with the assur
ance that the date of complete self-
government is largely dependent upon
their demonstration of their: fitness :for
It." "So ends the adventure begun bv
Disraeli" but the Philadelphia Public

Lane ordered us to cease firing, and
walked, alone, into the Indian camp,

peace talk should be held at Table

unarmed and giving himself into the
