CHAMBERLAIN'S ADVICE TO US
must supply to the people within the
new sphere of American influence,
and there is no better example of
how to meet this duty than is found
in the Anglo-Egyptian government
of today. Inter-Ocean.
Notice to Delinquent Taxpayers.
Nothing could be more timely
than the interview given yesterday
in New York city by Joseph Cham
berlain, who, as England's secretary
for the colonies, holds the reins of
government over an imperial domain
greater than the Roman empire at its
best.
As Mr. Chamberlain says, "the
United States is now face to face
with the question of territorial ex
pansion." By its side all other
problems of the day in America
dwindle into insignificance. The
question confronts this country now,
not because Porto Rico and Cuba are
at last liberated from Spanish ty
ranny, but, as Mr. Chamberlain sig
nificantly observes, "by reason of its
occupation and conquest of an island
in the east." Nor does Mr. Cham
berlain see in this the mere accident
of war. The issue was bound to be
made sooner or later "by virtue of
the complicity and vastness of the
commercial interests of such a pro
gressive people as the Americans."
This is a very remarkable state
ment, coming from Joseph Chamber
lain, It is the deliberate judgment
of the highest authority on territorial
expansion in public life. The pres
ent secretary for the colonies is not a
Bismarck nor a Gladstone in general
statesmanship, though he aspires to
both, but upon matters coming with
in the scope of his portfolio he has
no equal in any country. In his
opinion the United States was bound
by the trend of commercial events,
independent of the exigencies of war,
to acquire possessions in the Orient.
While American participation,
soon or late, in solving the eastern
problem, was inevitable, the war has
put upon us a duty from which there
is no honorable escape. This is the
way Mr. ChamberlaiD puts it: "Hav
ing entered upoi the struggle, the
United States could not leave the
islands involved in the warfare in a
state of revolution, but must supply
a peaceful and reasonably efficient
government." The case, from the
standpoint of national obligation,
could not be more aptly stated.
What shall the government be?
This newspaper on Jnlv 29 called
editorial attention to the sj'stem of
government now carried on in Eg3rpt
as furnishing a model for American
jurisdiction over our newly acquired
island. Mr. Chamberlain does the
same. It is what he says on this
point which gives most weight and
pertinence to his interview:
"The United States now finds it
self in much the same position as our
selves in Egypt. We are bound to
put down rebellion, and we shall stay
there until we do. What system of
colonial government your people will
accept as the most practicable and
efficient is for you to decide, and, as
I have said, you are not in need of
advice. Great Britain went into
Eg pt to conserve the rights there
of English commerce and citizenship,
and we are bound to stay there until
better government is assured."
The point of present insistence is
that the United States shall shirk no
responsibility and sacrifice no rights
in the Philippines; that America shall
do for its new insular territory what
England has done for the land of the
Nile civilize it, enrich it, and reap
from it the profits of the era of en
lightenment and prosperity. The
terms Philippine, Luzon, and Manila
do not occur in the Chamberlain in
terview, but there is no concealment
of the fact that the secretary's eye is
single to the east, by the side of
which the West Indian results of the
war are little more, than the fina dust
in the balance. "A peaceful and
reasonably efficient government" we

The delinqent taxes of Wasco county,
as shown on th6 rolls now in the hands
of the Bheriff are ?G0,000, 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. Oa account of hard times
in the past the county court Las shown
leniency to taxpayers, but that leniency
has reached the limit, and the court
cannot wait longer on delinquents to
make settlements. For this reason a
warrant haa been, attuched 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 cost of seizure and sale of property
by settling their taxes at once.
