UNIVERSAL HAPPENINGS IN A NUTSHOI
Hodgenville, K y .— President Wilson
came to Kentucky Monday to pay hom
age to the memory o f Lincoln.
The
President accepted for the Federal
government the log cabin in which
Lincoln was born in a speech devoted
to an eulogy o f the C ivil war Presi
dent. Standing on a hill topped by a
magnificent granite memorial building
housing the Lincoln cabin, he praised
Lincoln as the embodiment o f demo
cracy.
“ W e are not worthy to stand here
unless we ourselves be indeed and in
truth real Democrats and servants of
mankind, ready to give our very lives
for the freedom and justice and spirit
ual exaltation o f the great nation
which shelters and nurtures u s," he
said.
The non-political character o f the
program was emphasized by the men
tion o f the name o f Charles
E.
Hughes, the Republican nominee, by
one o f the speakers in g ivin g the list
o f directors o f the Lincoln Farm as
sociation.
What was said to be one o f the larg
est crowds ever gathered in this part of
Kentucky came to Lincoln farm in
special trains and automobiles and on
foot. The President and his party
were taken from the station to the
farm in automobiles, accompanied by
a troop o f I-ouisville police. On the
way the President stopped and laid a
wreath on a statue o f Lincoln.
A t the farm he walked up a long
flight o f broad granite stairs lined with
thousands o f rheering persons to the
Lincoln memorial building at the top.
Inside he examined silently the one-
room cabin made o f rough logs and
mud and then wrote his name in the
register.
Ex-Governor Joseph W. Folk, of
Missouri, president of the Lincoln
Farm association, presided at the fo r
mal ceremonies.
Robert J. Collier,
vice president o f the association, gave
the g ift of the deed to the farm to
Secretary Baker, representing the War

Oregon & California Grant
Land Taxes May Be Limited
Eugene— George M. Brown, attor
ney general o f Oregon, intimated at a
meeting o f representative* o f the Ore
gon and California land grant counties
held in Eugene Wednesday night that
there is s probability that the Federal
government in the payment o f back
taxes on Oregon and California lands
may take the position that the taxing
power o f the state was limited to
$2.60 an acre and that assessments
based on the relative value o f other
lands in the counties were not valid.
He said the collection of the back
taxes was s subject o f great concern
and he recommended that the counties
take steps to procure the payment as
speedily as possible.
While in Washington last spring A t
torney General Brown said he consult
ed the secretary o f the interior depart
ment and the secretary indicated the
view that aa congress had provided for
the sale o f the lands by the railroad
company at $2.50 an acre the lands
possibly could not be assessed for a
greater amount. A t the time, as the
representatives o f the state o f Oregon,
the speaker said, he had held out for
the payment o f the taxes on the full
value.
Attorney General Brown cited the
provision o f the act o f congress revest
ing title to the Oregon and California
land in the government, providing the
taxes shall be paid as determined by
the secretary o f the interior depart
ment.
He commended the plan to form a
federation o f the land grant counties
for the purpose o f “ having these lands
sold, the timber sold and getting the
lands back on the tax ro ll.”
R eferring to the action o f congress
he reviewed the history o f the fo rfe i
ture suits. He said that when the lit
igation was first suggested he auviBed
against it, fearing the creation of
greater reserves within the state and
the removal of the land from taxation.
He called attention to the act o f the
legislature providing for the forfeiture
proceeding and asserted "th e people of
the state o f Oregon, through the legis
lature, invited congress to do the thing
that it has done.”
