Professor Paul Schmidt Hausler.
late owner of a photographic gallery
in the John Schmidt building, from
which he departed with certain rugs
belonging to M. A. Rader, has been
found. He Is in Butte. Mont., and Is
being cared for by the chief of po
lice. Information to this effect has
been wired to Sheriff Taylor, and un
less a settlement of the case can be
made, a deputy will be sent for the
absconding "professor."
It was several months ago that
Professor Hausler left here, leaving a
note upon his door that he had gone
to Athena. After several days It was
discovered that he had taken with
him about $60 worth of rugs which
Mr. Rader had sold him 'on consign
ment. Also, It developed that the
professor had left numerous other
bills of greater or less amounts. Con
sequently, the district attorney and
sheriff were notified, ana the recent
arrest of Mr. Hausler at Butte is the
result. Evidently the professor was
going by the simple name of Paul
Schmidt while in Montana, as the
telegram to the sheriff calls him by
that name.

he did. The committee Is looking in

Walla Walla, Feb. 1. A meeting of

In Walla Walla, to effect a permanent
organization, and to take steps to re

Umatilla County Woolgrowers' associ

land In the Wenaha reservation.
At the recent conference of the
sheep and cattlemen committees were
appointed to apportion the land to
both sheep and cattle owners. After
a week's labor the allotments were
made and were supposed to be satis
factory to all concerned. Since then
members of the Umatilla Woolgrowers'
association, who were not represented
at the conference, have entered a vig

stock In Oregon to utilize this summer
pasturage.

Editor East Oregonlon: A recent
editorial In your publication cuJls at
tention to the land question In a man
ner that shows that the writer thereof
has a realization of the deplorable
canditlon to which the people are be
ing reduced by the multiplied horde
of land grabbers that have sequester
ed from this coming generation the
element without which none of us can
live. Many are aware of the evils of
land monopoly to some extent, and
the recent enactments concerning the
irrigation projects, together with the
comparatively speaking energetic ac
tion of the federal government In the
prosecution of some land frauds. In
dicates that statesmen of high rank
are aware that evil has resulted and
is bound to result In still greater meas
ure, from the wanton waste of the
public lands by our legislative solons
of past decades.
The remedy for the speculative mo
nopoly of Innd Is being discovered by
New Zealand and other Australian
colonies, whose legislation In the past
enable an artificial land famine to be
created wheer there Is an abundance
so far as nature Is concerned. The
remedy Is what we of America have
not sought very diligently, the phrase,
"Uncle Sam has land enough for every
man a farm," being still accepted by
many who should know better.
In New Zealand the taxing power
of the state has been used to destroy
speculative values, and by a graduated
tax on land values, together with the
local taxation in many counties, cities
and towns being placed exclusively on
the land (all Improvements and per
sonal property being exempt,) the
land grabber has been compelled to
loosen his grip upon industry, thrift
and progress to a greater extent than
elsewhere In civilization.
Compulsory purchase.
This has been supplemented by the
compulsory' purchase of large tracts of
land from owners, whose Ideas of
value differed from that of the pub
lic officials, and It was then leased to
home-bullders on a system of perpet
ual lease, amounting to ownership.
The land question Is pressing heav
ily upon the people of England and
the remedy proposed by those who
have taken the matter up lies along
the same lines as already successfully
tried by the commonwealths of the
antipodes. No amount of legislation
will do more than shut the door to
further depredations unless the taxing
powers are Invoked to reduce the
hobders of Idle lands to reason and
give the homeseeker and home
builder a chance. Any steps In this
direction will be resisted in every
manner that can be devised by the
haughty house of Huve which has
always trodden rough shod over the
greater, but more humble and Justice
loving house of Need. The intelli
gence of the people and the pressure
of land hunger will ultimately solve
the prohlem in America as other prob
lems have been solved In the past.
Here In Oregon the people do not
have to depend upon Ignorant, big
oted or corrupt legislators to take up
the matter. Whenever their Intelli
gence upon the question, and their re
alization of lis vital Importance equals
that of New Zealand they can directly
enact laws and constitutional amend
ments that will go to the root of the
Iniquity and restore to the people the
gift oX the creator of all men, namely
the Innd.
Some Scantly Known Facts.
When the Oregon farmer finally re
alizes that he does not own the land
and that the greater portion of land
values lie In the cities; and further
thnt of the land values outside of
cltlop and towns but a small portion
actually belongs to the tillers of the
soil, he will not be so afraid of any
special taxes levied upon land values.
His ignorance upon this simple fact
will not always remain a bulwark of
defense for land monopolists.
Meanwhile, the various political
questions of the day will bo put for
ward by the politicians, but ever and
anon the public Interest In the land
question will rise higher from time to
time until like the politicians of Eng
land, the land qucxtlon will be taken
up by the political leaders of America.
tt we have too many dogs In a com
munity we tax them to a desirable
point, and whenever the people In
any country have too many lund mo
nopolUts they can tax them, out of
existence. The land cannot get away.
and the more It Is taxed the less the
farmer will have to pay.
One acre of land at the corner of
Washington and Third streets, In
Portland, Is wopth more than all tha
farming land in Umatilla county.
When that fact soaks far enough Into
the public consciousness there will be
something doing In Oregon.

Too Much Snow Around Blockfoot.
According to a special correspond

Deseret Evening News, the snowfall
at and near Blackfoot has been heav
ier during the last 10 days than for
many years past and sheepowners
are getting anxious. The report In
part reads as follows:
"The heavy snows of the past two
weeks have caused much trouble to
the sheepmen on the desert west of
here, the snow being so deep that the
sheep could not find feed nor could
they travel much. James Johnston,
of the Johnston-8everson company,
stutes that they have been breaking
trails and getting their sheep out ns
fast as possible, and thinks they will
save most of them." Boise States

Apiienrs to He No Hoe for Either
Martin or Tiiylor.
Since the supreme court has denied
the motion for rehearing filed In be
half of Moses Taylor and Grover
Martin, there Is now nothing tn keep
the two men from the penitentiary
unless the governor should Intervene
with a pardon. Martin has been In
the county Jail since the first supreme
court decision was given, consequent
ly the last decree does not affect his
present condition.
However, Taylor has not been In
Jail ut all, having been out on ball
ever since he was first convicted. But
when the official mandate of the su
preme court renches the local offic
ials he will have to go to the county
Jail and await the trip to Salem.
This morning the mandate was tele
phoned for, and It Is probable that
the same will arrive here In the morn
ing. In view of the Davis trial. It Is not
likely thnt either Martin or Taylor
will be taken below this week, for
there Is no specified time In which
the transfer must be made.
