HOW WILL WE LEVY TAXES? The national grange wants to ex empt agricultural products from tax ation. Mechanics want to have me chanics' tools aner equipment ex empted. Railroads declare that they are taxed excessively. Merchants say they carry an unjust burden of taxes. Mining men say they are developing -the resources of the earth and conse quently should not be taxed. Irrigat ors lim that they convert Idle land Into usefulness and that their Indus try should not be taxed. So where are we to secure money with which to conduct "the govern ment? Who would pay a Just an3J equitable tax on their earning capac ity If the decision were left to their own Judgment? , There would be no taxes and no government If the strong hand of the people did not Impose taxes and col lect them. Classes are always trying to evade taxation. Wealth Is ever trying to'dodge Its responsibility. So we will go along In the old way and tax everybody alike, regardless of his personal like or dislike. What ever earns an income should be tax td accordingly and the Income should be the measure of the tax. ; - HOT, BUT PLEASANT. It's hot, to be sure, but Its Umatilla county and It don't hurt. When we remember all the good things that go along with the heat in this portion of the golden west, the heat of two months In the summer season does not seem oppressive. The, same warmth which Is now playfully cayorting about 100 In the shade ripens the fruit in Umatilla county a month before other eastern Oregon counties have any to offer. We boast (St having more days of sun shine than Los Angeles, but of course this boast Isjnore appropriate In the winter season. The same delightful heat gives us luscious strawberries earlier than any other eastern Oregon county. It ri pens the crops evenly and matures the alfalfa quickly so we can crowd four harvests Into one season. So if It Is hot it don't hurt, In Uma tilla county. It makes us appreci ate our advantages. It makes us think of our mountain resorts and wonder how people live without them. "I AM HOLIER THAN THOU." If it Is good policy and good poll tics for William Jennings Bryan to refuse to take corporation money for campaign expenses why Is It not Just as good policy and Just as good poli tics for William Howard Taft, repub lican candidate for president to refuse to take sucht m. Why should Mr. Taft's motives be questioned by Mr. Bryan and his cam paign leaders, when Mr. Bryan and his leaders have announced that they will not accept corporation money? This sounds much like the "holler than thou" cant of olden times. It sound very much like Mr. Bryan and his leaders were assuming a lot of virtue, which In their biased Ylew, no one else can poseess. It sounds very much like, well In the street par lance of the day, like tommy rot There Is no' more reason for In pugnlng Mr, Taffa motives In refus ing corporation money than there Is to impugn Mr. Bryan's motives. If the candidates have honestly decided on this policy both are to be congrat ulated. And if they have made It a part of a deceitful campaign policy, both should be condemned equally by the people. THE EARTH FOR THE PEOPLE, That the earth and Its resources are Intended for the use and benefit of the masses of humanity and not for the favored few, Is the honest be lief of every thoughtful man. Greed drives men of Influence and power to monopolize the earth wherever they can and to corral It resources for personal gain, but In' their heart of hearts they know It Is wrong. Land monopoly Is one of the burn ing Issues of the new world, as well as of the old world and sooner or later we must meet the l.suo face to face, Here In Oregon Its blight Is felt as poignantly as anywhere else in the United States and before we are aware the question will be up for set tlement. How are we going to set tle it? Judge Stephen A. Lowell of this city, in his Fourth of July address at Wallowa lake, touched upon the sub ject eloquently and suggested possible means of settlement. He said In part on this subject: x The next great problem which this republic must meet and solve is the land question. It vitally presents Itself to the people of Oregon In the vast military wagon road grants which cross the state like trails of poison ous serpents, In the Ill-gotten domain of the timber barons, and In the rail road lands upon which the companies refuse to keep faith with' the govern ment In their contracts of sale. The problem presents two elements alien ownership of lands and ex cessive ownership of lands, and to both It Is time public attention was directed If we are to escape the thraldom of landlordism which curses the old world. There Is no objection to the accu mulation of wealth represented by chattels, so long as legally acquired and honorably used, but the etyth, water, alr forests and natural depos its of coal and oil which are essential to the comfort and happiness of the race should never be monopolized or permitted to become objects of ex ploltatlon In each of these every man Is In Justice entitled to such part as he may need forh!s home and the concomitants of a home, and for these purposes the time b,as arrived when the government must exert and exercise a trustee In all these things. Our Inherited Ideas of the sacred ness of property cause us to look askance at every proposition which looks toward the limitation ' of any character of acquisition heretofore bearing the sanction of the law, but the time apparently has arrived when we must make a choice between so cialism on the one hand and limita tion of land holdings rfn the other, and when I speak. of land In this con nection I mean not only the earth, but the water, trees and fuel deposits thereon. It Is neither necessary nor desira ble to Inter upon any campaign of confiscation, but the state certainly has power under the law of eminent domain to take over for the use of 4 the .people the Idle lands of monopo lists, paying a reasonable price there for In the same manner as has long been, the custom of public service corporations to condemn private property for their use. The constitution of the United States and of the state of Oregon properly provide in substance that no person shall be deprived of his prop erty without due process of law, and that private property shall not be taken for public use wlthqait Just compensation, but under those pro visions the right tf condemnation and the submission of values to a Jury has always been recognized when property has ben required by the pub lic, or even by corporation of a quasi public nature. There certainly can be no higher public service than that the state shall assure homes to gen erations yet to come; that It shall hold Itself as a buffer against en croaching landlordism. e e There never has been any reason why one man should own a territory as large as the state of New Jersey, or why foreign corporations should hold In Idleness millions of acres, or why alien owners should be permit ted to retary for half a century the development of a state by refusing to sell lands to home builders, and when these conditions exist as they do In this nation today, and as they do In large degree In our own state, certainly every rate of common sense requires that the state should exer "4 Kf J 3 Read It Before You Eat It else its supreme power to take over these lands and hold them for sale to men who desire to establish homes thereon. Oregon can well begin this reform by Invoking the law of eminent domain- against the alien owners of the vast wagon road grants, and thus shake off the Incubus which Is re tarding development of the great In terior. If the state has not power to appropriate money for such pur chase of lands upon condemnation. then the people may appeal to the initiative and acquire such authority. One of the most signal victories ever won for woman's right to the ballot was the decision of the supreme court In the suit brought by the wo men of Des Moines, Iowa, to have set aside an election Involving the building of a city hall and the Issu ance of bonds therefor, because wo men had not been allowed to vsute. The supreme court set aside the elec tion as Invalid, for in Iowa women have the right to vote in bond elec tions. The case has been contested through all the courts, the suit haa been earrled to Its final triumph for the women by Miss Grace Ballantyne. Competent lawyers declare her argu ment was one of the finest ever heard In the supreme court room, ' POKTIA AS JUDGE The late Sir Francis Jeune, says the Westminster Gazette, la credited with the opinion and he had some knowl edge of old Venetian law that Por tia ought not to be represented as counsel in the "trial scene of "The Merchant of Venice," bat as Judge. The Knoctont Blow. The blow which knocked out Cbrbetl was a revelation to the prize fighters. From the earliest days of the ring the knock-out blow was aimed for the Jaw, the temple or the Jugular vein. Stomach punches were thrown in to worry and weary the fighter, but if a scientific man had told one of the old fighters that th most vulnerable spot was the region of the stomach, he'd have laughed at him for an Ignoramus. Dr. Pierce Is bringing boi public a parallel fact; that th tho most vulnerable organ out of he ring a well as in it.

P It. C. Carton, the dramatist, holds similar views. These Ideas have been put Into force by Mrs. Russ Whytal, 'for some time leading lady with E. Wlllard, In her Initial production of the play at Hull this week. She now for the first time presents the disguised Por tia In the Judge's seat. Immediately below that of the Duke of Venice, who, It Is contended, was a mere lay figure, who, ex-offlclo,' presided over the court, Shylock, we know, refers to Portia as a "wise young Judge," and she is also appealed to by Antonio to give Judgment And It Is Portia who, in the end, pronounces Judgment, the Duke merely echoing the "learned doctor's" deliverance.
