THE PEACE COMMISSION'S TASK
A decidedly delicate and import
ant work is to be intrusted to the
American members of the peace com
mission. This is the first time in half
a century that the United States has
been at war with another nation, but
the settlement then, at the conclusion
of the Mexican conflict, was a much
less formal affair than this one will
be. One commissioner only, Niche
las P. Trist, represented the United
States in the arrangement of the
treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo of
848, and three represented Mexico.
Moreover, Trist was not a regularly
recognized commissioner of the
United States at the time, having
been recalled from Mexico just be
fore the treaty was framed, but his
work was accepted by this country.
Mexico was prostrate at the feet cf
the United States at the time, with
an American army holding its chief
cities, and was forced to accept any
terms which might be imposed by
the victor. .The terms were made
easier by the fact that the victor pai J
a large sum of money, $15,000,000,
besides assuming 83,250,000 of debts
due from Mexico to American citi
zens, for the territory which it had
already won by conquest.
In the present instance American
difficulties will be far greater than
they were then. Five commissioners
will represent the United States in
this peace convention ; they will be
confronted by five of the most astute
personages whom Spain can select,
and the Spaniards will be "coached'
by the diplomats of the other conti
nental European powers. The com
mission is to meet in Paris, a cit' in
which, notwithstanding its cosmopol
itanism, Spanish influence, as dis
tinguished from American, is pre
dominant. It is known that the de
mands of America in the Philippines,
which will be the principal subject
of discussion among the commission
ers, will be exceedingly disagreeable
to the sreat nations of Europe out
side of ngland. The American
members', whole environment will be
more or less hostile. It was of the
utmost importance that the United
States representatives be men of
ability, shrewdness and courage. The
commissioners Secretary Day, Sen
ators Davis and Frye, Justice White
and Wbitelaw Reid meet all the de
mands in these respects.
The Philippine situation, however,
is shaping itself favorabty for the
Americans. Dewey and Merritt are
in virtual control of the whole Island
of Luzon, which commands the entire
Philippine group. Spanish authority
in the archipelago is practically dead,
for the Spaniards in the few other
islands wbich have had garrisons
have neither supplies nor a nav3
The insurgents, now that the Ameri
cans have destroyed the Spanish navy
and have captured the Spanish
stronghold, Manila, could overcome
the rest of the Spaniards, but they
would be powerless against American
opposition. There will be no neces
sity, however, for American opposi
tion. .Aguinildo. who was expected
to make trouble for the United
States, has become tractable. The
Philippines in Manila have told the
American ofllceis that the insurgent
forces will disband if they are as
sured of American or British control
of the islands, but add that they vill
never accept Spanish rule again.
This simplifies the situation. The
The Philippines' can not be given
back to Spain. England not only
does not want them, but she urges
the United States to keep them. The
United States has won them, the
Philippines tell her to hang on to
them, she needs them, and she will
hold them. These are the conditions
-which confront the American com
The delinqent taxes of Wasco county,
as shown on the rolls now in the hands
of the sheriff are $60,000, an amount al
most equal to the indebtedness of the
county. . Every citizen will doubtless
admit that this state of affairs should
not exist, and that all taxes should be
collected. On account of hard times
in the past the county court has ebown
leniency to taxpayere, but that leniency
has reached the limit, and the court
cannot wait longer on delinquents to
make settlements. For this reason a
warrant has been attached to each de
linquent roll commanding the sheriff to
collect all taxes by seizure and sale of
property. With a bountiful crop now
in sight, there can no longer be any rea
sonable excuse for the non-payment of
taxes. The sheriff is bound by oath to
comply with the terms of the warrants
attached to the tax rolls for the collec
tion thereof, and has no option in the
matter. Delinquent taxpayers can eave
the co9t of seizure and sale of property
by settling their taxes at once.
