WE Apr HAVING AJOLLY GOOD TINE.

An air ofhilarity peryades the Repub-
lican campaign. The letters 10 a boy
and the Dinkelspiel conversations are
published In the loyal party organs.
The bandbills for the speakers all ring
out with CHEEKY Joyous picknicky tone
that makes one think Of a Fourth Of
July. This is much better than TO have
the blues and think the world IL going
70 the devil. Bat II hardly sizes mp the
gravity Of the situation.
The imported speakers Of course, can.
not ~ blamed about giving US the regu-
lation campaign textbook song and dance
about the wonderful prosperity that
has come over the country. They can
tell how many hundred millions Of dol
lars more balance oftrade there has been
under Mckinley than under Cleveland,
but they cannot tell in what respect this
is going 10 help the man whose taxes are
piling up. the prices Of what he has 10
buy are being advanced by the trusts,
and who has no wheat 10 sell.
The state campaign orators will also
Sing the roundelay Of prosperity, but
they will not tell just how all the timber
lands in Oregon are being stolen by nom
resident corporations, how the state
school lands have been queered, and how
state taxes have increased steadily for
the lsst six years. All this has been
under Republican administration and
surely concerns citizens OF Oregon more
than how the Philippines shall be gov
erned, or whether there shall be tax on
Porto Rican cigarettes or not.
Whether the army posts shall have
canteens or not Is Of far less conse'
quence TO Oregon than whether nickel

idea embraces the truth, that since land
values are solely created by the pres
ence Of the whole people upon the land
the rental value Of i should be taken
10 meet the expenses Of government
which is supposed to Be conducted for
the benefit Of al the people. In other
words. that which the individual ere
ates or produces belongs TO the individ-
ual and that what the community Gre
ates belongs TO and should be taken by
the community"
Il seems to THE JOURNAL that the
above definition in the terms Of Henry
Georgeison exactly describes what the
land department Of the State Of Oregon
is doing.
The state takes the rental value Of the
lands and converts It into state revenue.
Isn't that the Henry George theory Of
the single tax on land2 II all tie land
belonged to the state and il derived all
its revenues from rentals, wouldn't that
be the the single tax? That is exactly
what the land department is doing in
Oregon, and 80 far as it toes It lie the
Henry George single tax.
With high rates Of taxes and high
rate Of interest, rates all ont Of poportiOn
TO the earning power Of farming lands,
II the state continues 10 loan money on
land, it will have more and more land
fDrced upon the state as sole owner.
Then it must rent these lands If it can
not sell them, and the rentals become
revenue and the single tax is realized.
This lie not a reflection upon Henry
Georgeisn. II il not a reflection on the
state. II lie statement of facts. 1t is a
condition not a theory that conironts US,
gentlemen. We have adopted the in
come tax in Portland to raise revenues
We are operating practical Henry
Georgeism in the management Of our
public lands in Oregon. In both cases
we can't help ourselves. We do not like

istic fads, but we have 10 do il even il
we are Republicans. When Governor
Moody went into Office the state tax was
over five mills When he went out the
the state tax was less than two mills.
Yet, in his four years he built hun
dred cell wing TO the penitentiary and
finished the state capitol. Now the
state tax is about seven mills again. All
this shows that the state will probably
be forced still further 10 adopt sooialistlc
remedies. The income tax idea and
Henry Georgeism are inevitable in a
state where 9S per cent Of state revenues
are raised by a direct tax on property.

MKIELEY RIGHT IN CHINA BUT WRONG
IN THE PHILIPPINES.

Henry Clews in his latest Wall street
circular says:
The position Of affairs in the Far
East, though fraught with very grave
possibilities 70 the European powers,
seems 10 be growing less threatening TO
this country. With his usual states
manly prudence, Mr.. Mckinley has
taken a course which promises 10 save
us from foreigu political commitments
and 10 stave off the cOsts Of needless
warfare. Imperous Emperors may
court the glory Of conquest; President
Mckinley correctly construee the popu-
lar will when he prefers a policy Of
joint peace and justice.
This is correct. Mckinley has wisely
kept out OF a wsr in China. But he
has unwitely got the country into a
war with the Philippines that will ac-
complish no good result, and TO which
there is no end.
McKinley's Philippine commission

sion has no reason for its belief that the

that this sis conceded by all but men

says, three-iourths of all the people,
who have prevented our 5000 soldiers
from conquering peace. There can be
no guarantee that they will not fight on
against our rule as they fought for two
centuries against the rule of Spain.
The way TO peace and order in the
Philippines is to make the inhabitants
80 sure Of justice and Of freedom that
they will stop fighting because they will
have nothing TO fight for.
