Oregon, a econd cla mall matter.
One night upon mine ancient
enemy I closed my door,
And lo! that night came Love
in search of me
Love I had hungerd for
And finding my door closed
went on his way
And came no more.
Pray you take counsel of this
penitent
And learn thereof;
Set your door wide whatever
guests be sent
Tour graclousness to prove,
Better to let in many enemies
Than bar out Love.

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

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, '

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
