Minnesota taxes owners of from $10 for the second to crraduated tax. The first 80 640 acres) pays two per cent .BAA a iuo per cent additional on tne iuieenm acres m auumuu to 640. Both Carolina and Missouri are said to have some form of extra penalty for the gets "too much land." Western Orezon is a land Oregon a land of large ranches. There are fewer wheat farms and fewer residents in the rural regions of the wheat belt of eastern Oregon than 25 years ago. Steadily the size of the farms hzrs increased, made possible by the introduction of big-powered machinery- The trend is still going on. Stock ranches have to be large. The policy of the admir istration of the crrazinflr act is to saueeze out the small stock man who owns little base acreage.

I At first glance the restrictive taxes on large-scale farm operations looks like putting another hobble on free enter prise. But all history shows the danger of letting land owner ship fall into the hands of a very limited group. The eventual result has been that the masses lived like serfs while the few large landlords lived in luxury. Revolutions have been the customary means of correcting such maladjustment. Hung ary and Poland and East Prussia suffer today from the per sistence of large estates. The cry of the peasants has always been for land ; and one reason this country has had no peasant class has been the wide distribution of land ownership. There is considerable in theory to justify corporation farming. It permits long-time planning with due regard, for preserving soil fertility. It permits efficient use of power equipment. The corporation is usually better financed, and its executive is a stronger figure in bargaining for. tne sale of his crops. On the other hand it has elements of weakness. Every bit of labor has to be paid for, with wages higher than those of the small farmer. Hired men from managers down will not take the same interest and apply the same effort as the individual and his family who are working for themselves to earn a living and found a home. Ray Gill, state grangemaster, in his address yesterday at the state grange meeting endorses a plan of "classified taxation" to stop corporation farming. He says : "Assess ments upon farms should be classified and stepped up in ac cordance with the size of the farm in much the same way that we do with income taxes. This would require some meth od of defining a family sized farm. . . . Federal financing should be withdrawn from corporation farm units." Whether this plan is the best one to preserve diffusion of ownership f land is one to be debated thoroughly before being adopted. It might be better just to set arbitrary limits of land ownership. Or it may be that nature will work its own cure, corporate farming failing in the stiff competition with individual farming. H Russia's answer is collective fanning; but that is al together foreign to the American conception of individual ownership of the soil. This country will have to work out its own solution; and steps to prevent concentration of land ownership are much wiser than revolutions to force a cutting up of the land. Fresh Inquisition PERHAPS because the purpose was so obvious the reaction has not been very enthusiastic about the president mes sage to congress calling for an inquisition on the minority of ultra rich who have used tortuous means of escaping in come taxes. It is clear that the law is now ample to reach cases of fraud, and the government in the past has not hesi tated to put in prison men who merit of its tax toll. If the law lars it is an easy matter to secure amendments, because the congress is eager to let no rich man escape. It is further ap parent that if the incomes of all the limited number who used such tricks as incorporating pleasure yachts or shifting citi zenship to the Bahamas were teuuee me ucxitu vcijr, vcij iiiuc. i But we are to have another Roman holiday with some fresh malefactors of great wealth thrown to the lions. The raw meat will again excite the populace : and Gladiator FDR will bask again in public favor. course that a person who goes before a congressional investi gating committee is put on the pillory without theusual pro tection accorded witnesses in a sumed guilty ; and is there to senatorial head (line) -hunters. I Walter Lippman, newspaper columnist, offered the fol lowing comment on the proceedings which are planned : "These Individuals are to be tried not in a court of law before an Independent Judge by a jury of their peers and with the protection of counsel and the rules of evidence, but by a drumhead court martial of politicians enforcing, not the law of the land but their own ideas of what Is ethical and patriotic and in accord with the spirit of the law. "It is surprising that throughout the country there exists already a deep suspicion that the objective is not law enforce ment and revenue but political propaganda designed to create popular prejudice and strengthen the administration's weakened political positionT" "Let no guilty man escape" is a good slogan; but even the law-breakers are entitled to "trial by jury". Government lawyers ought to be able to determine if any particular arti fice is legal or not. If there be a question submit it to the civil courts ; if not, and the method seems iniquitous, procure a strengthening amendment. More Debits IN ALBERTA the social credit party which swept a Bible institute teacher into the premiership at the last provincial elections is running into moreldebits than credits. Under Premier Aberhard the province has defaulted on its debts, has arbitrarily repudiated payment of half of (the interest pledge. The premier's velocity money, or scrip, failed to de velop any velocity in circulation. Now the social credit party is split and the insurgent bloc says it has enough votes to kill the Aberhard budget. ' I The parliament failed to agree on a budget once before this year and adopted a three-months supply bill. The legis lature is about to reconvene, and the prospects of the govern ment getting its budget adopted appear slim. j Sooner or later people will learn that they: can't create incomes by passing a law, even though they j may create "money" which will circulate as long as there are takers. Mass pressures in this country seem to have overcome this law, and appear actually to be producing "incomes" for large classes of recipients. In the end however spending will, end because the public credit is exhausted. 1 Each generation must learn anew the folly of creating i Utopias by political hocus-pocus.

Upwards of fifty died on the new route. The Indians did not disturb ns any, except stealing our horses. We have made our. claim on the Lucklamute, a western branch of the Willamette, not a day's ride from the ocean and 100 miles south of the Columbia river. It is a beautiful country as far as I have seen. Every person eighteen years old holds a seection by making improvements and living on It five years. They sow wheat here from October till June, and the best wheat I ever saw and plenty of It at 75 cents and $1.00 per bushel; potatoes 25c, peas 81-00 per bushel, corn 50c, beef 6c and 8c, pork 10c, sugar IS He. molasses 50c, tea 75c, sheeting from 16 to 25c, calico from 10c to 50c. and salt Is lc a pound, and other things accordingly. MiUs are plenty, no trouble about getting grinding. The water is all soft as It is In Massachusetts. Soda springs are common and fresh water springs without num ber. It is now the 1st of April and not a particle of snow 'has fallen in the valley, neither have I seen a bit of ice a half Inch thick this winter, but it rains nearly all winter, but this does not hinder them from plowing and sowing wheat. We have the most frost In the spring. They don't make garden until the last of April or the 1st of May, but It comes good when it does come. There are thousands of strawber ries, also, . gooseberries, black berries, whortleberries, currants and other wild fruits but no nuts except filberts and a few chest nuts. The timber Is principally fir and oak. Tou perhaps wish to know how I like the country. I like It welL It Is an easy place to make a liv ing. Ton can raise as many cat tle as you please and not cost you a cent, for the grass Is green the whole winter and cattle are as fat as If they had been stall fed the whole year round. Wheat is raised without trouble and will fetch anything, the same as cash. A wagon from 8100 to $150. 100 dollars for a yoke of oxen, $50 for a cow. And work will fetch anything you want at from $1 to $1.50 a day, a dollar a hun dred for making rails, and so on. And although I was much op posed to coming as anyone could be,. If I were back there and know what I know now, I should be perfectly willing to come. V The land you get is sufficient to pay for your trouble and if you were here and John and Warren each of them and yourself had a claim, I should like to live there. We have all got claims joining. What United States will do for us I cannot tell. Ton know more about that than I do. The Indians appear to be very friendly, like to have the "Bostons" come, as they call them. Ton think it Is a long road and so It Is, but the worst is over when .yon get started. Be sure and have plenty of flour, that Is the main object; start with at least 175 or 200 pounds, and 75 pounds of bacon to the person, fetch no more beds than you want to use, start with clothing a plen ty to last you one year after you get here If you have nothing to buy with. After that you will raise a plenty to buy with. Start with at least four or five yoke of cattle to the wagon, young cattle lour or five years old are the best; fetch what coffee, sugar and such things you like, it you should be sick you need them. I write to you as it I expected you to come. I need not do that as I know of, although I wish you were here. - I can't help but believe you would be suited, not that it will do my dear mother any, good to see her children well fixed to get a living. That is it Con gress ever does anything for Oregon. It Is not like any other new country a farm to pay for It is already paid for when you get here. Tou don't know how I want to see you, and If 1 am never to see you let me hear from you as often as possible. I want to know how you are all getting along and what you are doing. Give my love and res pects to all. We have had two weddings in our family. Rolland Chambers and Llvisa King and Amos King to Melinda Fuller.

(Concluded tomorrow.) ; Lebanon Sawmill Closed by Strike LEBANON, June 7 The Sew ell and Wynn sawmill, formerly the Gleason mill, a plant of a large daily capacity of finished lumber, has had to suspend operations because of a strike of its em ployes. Sewell and Wynn could not meet the wage demands of the strikers, who were recently organized as a union, and the only resort was to shut down, throw ing approximately 40 men out of work. Mr. Sewell has gone to Washington to do construction work for a firm which has given him a contract. By consent of the striking employes Mr. Wynn will dispose of lumber In the yard to meet outstanding obligations. 'The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, j-v ! j I . Court j W mm Mi A Ccm. 19J7, Kan Interpreting By MARK WASHINGTON. June 7. New Tork has enacted a child labor bill, forbidding the sale in that state of goods made by the labor of children under 16. Other states have enacted, or are in process of enacting similar laws, forbidding the sale of goods made by child labor, or goods made by labor paid less than a minimum wage or by labor working more than maximum hours. At the same time. President Roosevelt has recommended, and a committee of congress is hold ing hearings, on a bill covering the same points and having the same effect. : This situation raise's a question of the highest importance. Under recent supreme court decisions, laws of this kind can be enacted and enforced by either the fed eral government or the several states. The question is, which way is best, which will the' coun try, prefer when it understands the difference between the two methods, and understands all the Implications of the present situ ation. Congress, If It chooses, can confine its legislation to merely supplementing the laws of the states. With respect to New Tork for example, congress can mere ly say that there shall not be shipped Into New Tork, from, any other state, goods made by chil dren under 16. By such a law. New Tork Is perfectly protected. As respects factories within the state, It Is protected by Its own law. As respects factories in oth er states, it is protected by the federal law. And the same as to minimum wages and maximum hours. And the same as to every other state. Every state can have Its own standards of child labor, of min imum wages, and of maximum hours. And every state will be protected in the standards it sets. by the federal law. But the pressure of the admin istration at Washington Is for a different kind of federal law. It la for a law which ignores the states, which indeed makes it im possible for the states to have their own laws and their own standards. It the proposed fed eral law is passed, the New Tork law is superseded, and so are all other state laws about labor. present or future. The federal measure that is now to the front would set up a single, uniform standard for the whole country, with enforcement from Washing ton. : : The administration recognizes, as does everybody, , that there ought not to be one standard for the whole country. They recog nise that a mainly manufacturing state, like New Tork for example, needs one standard, while a main ly agricultural state, like Iowa for example, needs a different stand ard. The proponents of the fed eral law recognize this but still insist on a universal federal law. To take care of the variation, the proposed federal law would set up a board of five men. These five men would have absolute control over every standard ev erywhere. They would 'fix one standard, for New Tork, another for Iowa, another for Virginia, and so on throughout the whole country. Further, this board of five men would fix different standards for different industries, and for dif ferent ; processes of an Industry. The exceptions to the standards. it Is estimated, would run into thousands. But all would be made by the five men at Wash ington. It a business man in Iowa wanted an exception.- he would have to apply to Washington for It. If the whole state of Iowa wanted-a different standard, it could not fix the standard Oregon, Tuesday Morning, Juno Gone Sour? T1 the News SULLIVAN through its own legislature it would have to go to Washington and ask the five men. Why should the administration prefer one standard for the whole country, and all power to make exceptions centralized at Washington until recently.there were some legal and constitution al reasons for preferring one uni form federal law. But since de cisions of the supreme court. these reasons have disappeared. One reason why the adminis tration should prefer one uni form law, and all the power at Washington, would be for- the sake of the power. General Hugh Johnson, who was head of NRA and knows this field thoroughly, says the proposed federal mea sure contains very great powers, He says "It is a shot gun bill full of adroit obscurities." He says It contains undisclosed effects, as the president's : court measure does. The reduction In the pow ers and functions of the states. which this federal bill would bring about, some directly, others later, and In connection with oth er new deal measures, would leave the states mere shells, little more than geographical terms ul timately becoming obsolete. It is desirable that the pro posed federal measure regulating industry should be kept before the country as long as the court measure has been In order to per mit understanding of just what the measure would dot Floyd Baxters Visit BRUSH CREEK.
