Tn my judgment, however, the inher-
 itance tax Is both a far better method
 of taxation, and far more important for
 the purpose I have in vieW-the pur-
 pose of having the swollen fortunes of
 the country bear in proportion to their
 size constantly increasing. burden of taxation. These fortunes exist solely
 because of the protection given the
 owners by the public They are a con stant source of care and anxiety to the public and it is eminently just that they should be forced to pay heavily for the protection given them. It is, of course, elementary that the nation has the absolute right to decide as to the terms upon which any man shall re- ceive bequest or devise from anoth- CT. We have repeatedly placed such laws on our own statute books, and they have repeatedly been declared constitutional by the courts. believe that the tax should contain the pro- gressive principle Whatever any dndi- vidual receives, whether by gift, be- quest, or devise, in life or in death, should, after a certain amount is reached, be increasingly burdened; and the rate of taxation should be in creased in proportion to the remote ness of blood of the man receiving from the man giving or devising."

The Swollen Fortune.

Later on, President Roosevelt made this statement of his personal views: 1T do not believe that any advantage comes either to the country as whole or to the individuals inheriting the money by permitting the transmission in their entirety of such enormous for tunes as have been accumulated in America, The tax could be made to bear more heavily upon persons resid- ing out of the country than upon those residing within it. Such heavy pro- gressivee tax is of course in no shape or way tax on thrift or industry, for thrift and industry have ceased to pos sess any measurable importance in the acquisition of the swollen fortunes of which I speak long before the tax would in any way seriously affect them. Such tax would be one of the methods by which we should try to preserve a measurable equality of op- portunity for the people of the genera tion growing to manhood"

Income and Inheritance Tax.

President Roosevelt strongly urged an income tax and an inheritance tax. He is not daunted by the attitude of the United States Supreme court and believes a graduated income tax law will yet be formulated. which will meet the constitutional requirements of such legislation.
 The President then went on to say:

OLD TINE DOCTRINE.

The only difference that can be
seer at this time between the views
Of Bryan and Roosevelt on the out
come Of the railroad problem is that
Bryan says that if government regu-
lation should fail that government
ownership ought to come; whereas,
Roosevelt says that should govern
ment regulation fail that government
ownership would have to come. And
the old-fashioned populist who claim
ed IS years ago that government reg
ulation was sure to eventually fail
and that government ownership
would not only become necessary. but
was right in principle, wonders
which one. bryan or Roosevelt. will
be first to claim that he was the
original expounder of the doctrine Of
government ownership when it is fl
nallv put in operation.

to enlarge their town by the addition
of certain amount of land now en-
braccd in the reservation and that
they were making strenuous efforts at

A. authoritative source that the
dream of Toppensh for future growth
was being blasted every day by the
conditions existing there in regard to
the illicit trade with Indians on the
part Of certain dispensers of fire

That the national government is
much disPleasod with affairs at Top

was further said that agents of the

in Toppenish, and were keeping their

chances of enlargement would grow
corresponiingly less.
In fact, it was hinted that severe
steps might be taken by the national
government to see if something could
not be done to curb the sale of liquor
to Indians, problem which the local
authorities seem to be at a loss to
handle. That something will be done
in the near future is almost absolute
ly certain, and not for a long time
to come will the citizens of Teppenish
notice any inclination on the part of
the government agents to look favor
ably upon their schemes for the de-
veicrment of nearby territory.

SALOONS ARE RESPONSIBLE.

Apropos of the fact that three
fou-ths of the area of Kentucky is
now under prohibition secured by the
operation of a local option law, and
apropos of the further fact that the
East Oregonian has for the past sew
eral years warned the liquor dealers
within the radius of its circulation
that they themselves are responsible
for the radicalism of that sentiment
which will not be satisfied with any,
thing short Of prohibition, the follow
ing from the Memphis News-Scimitar
ought to be read and reread with
prayerful thoughtfulness by the liquor
dealers. It succiently summarizes the
situation in the state OF Tennessee.
The closing paragraphs should be cut
out by every saloon keeper who reads
it and pasted in his hat, to be reread
before his bedtime prayers and before
grace at each mealtime. The News
scimltar says, under the caption,
progress Toward Prohibition:
The passage Dy the state senate Of
the Pendleton bill by 50 decided
majority and the test vote of yester-
day in the house which indicates its
passage today by that branch of the
assembly, has created much anxiety
and no little uneasiness amongst the
people of Tennessee. Despite every
reasonable sign of the trend of tenn
perance sentiment, there were many
who had not the foresight to see what
has FOR months appeared inevitable,
that the next step of the anti-saloon
people would be long step.
The progress of the movement to
eliminate saloons from the state is
given as it shows upon the statute
books of the state.
In 1887 the legislature passed the
first act restricting the sale of liquor
in the state. 1t is known as the four
nile law.
The four-mile law did not invade
the chartered towns and cities of the
state. but cut out the cross-road
groceries" and rum joints There
was violent protest from the liquor
manufacturers or Interests" of the
state, but public sentiment demanded
the passage of the law, and it has
been strictly enforced ever since to
the welfare and fair fame Of Ten
nessee.
II was q long time before any ad-
ditional legislation on this subject
was had. The prohibition amendment
was submitted to the people and
after a long and bitter fight failed Of
popular Endorsement.
In 1899 the legislature took its sec
ond forward step in the direction Of
saloon annihilation. 1t passed what
is known as the Peeler law, prohibit
iHg saloons in towns having not more
than 1000 population.
Next came the Adams law, which
simply amends the Peeler law SO as
10 make its provisions apply to towns
having a population Of not more than
GOOO.
Now comes the Pendleton bill,
which a few days ago passed the sem
ate by vote of rs to 3, and which
by the time this issue Of the News-
scimitar is on the streets Of Memphis,
will most likely have passed the house
by a similarly overwhelming vote. 1t
amends the Adams law by making the
latter apply to all towns and cities
of the state.
AS to the Pendleton measure, we

find me guilty on a technicality, and
assess merely a nominal fine Of So and
costs. He said where the speaker was
a good one and collected crowd Of
several thousand people there must evi.
IDENTIFY be an obstruction. So l was
evidently fined for being good
speaker.
We should have opposed the verdict
If it had been one dollar 80 our at.
torneys moved for an appeal, and there
upon the judge placed my bonds at
$3.50.
This verdict shows what a corrupt
and vicious machine the city admin
stration is. The city clerk had told
Comrade Thompson, the boy who was
fined for "inciting a riot" several
days before that they were going to
"stick" me. 80 the conspiracy against
me was plainly evident. The whole
machine felt sick over making fools
of themselves, and melting the popu-
lace as they had done. 1 had beaten
them at every point, had even contin'
ued speaking nightly on the streets,
and they were determined that they
had to make some showing not to be-
come a laughing stock. So the whole
push made it up that they would de-
eide against me anyhow, the judge had
to do as they said so the whole city
graft would together, and he could
keep job that gives him superior"
place in society. All the grafters even
came under the iron heel of economic
determinism.
The date for the trial in the super.
ior court is not yet set.
