JOHN ID. AS TO THE INCOME TAX

If we may believe the organ of Wall
street, we have the following as
Rockefeller's view of the income tax
proposition:
when man has accumulated n
sum of money within the law, that is
to say, in a legally honest way, the
people no longer have any right to
share in the earnings resulting from
that accumulation"
This is probably the view of the ma
jority of the heavy accumulators Any
way of making money without getting
into Jail is justfiable, legally. morally
and every other way, according to the
Rockefellers, Carnegies, Vanderbilts,
tricks, Morgans and other others OF
their ilk.
The legally honest way is the way in
which a thing can be done without
infraction of law with penal conse-
quences therefrom, and the big cor
porations hire galaxies of the shrewd-
est lawyers, not to tell them what they
can legally do, but to steer them in
doing things in spite of the law.
But the laws which, by sufferance
or otherwise, permit of the formation
of the brutal monopolies are not hon
est. A law of itself is never neces-
sarily honest or just, or moral Many
of them are the product of bribery,
vicious pressure or other sorts of cor
ruption, and there is nothing honest
or moral about them. They are of
bad character. and, through the in
come tax, it is proposed to ameloraie
their pernicious effects, since their evil

what is legally honest" He could,
probably, rub up against more kinds
of law and still keep out of Jail than
any other man in America. But he
speaks above from the standpoint of
the law solely, and he is, in his old age,
posing as something other than law
dodger, something in the way of a
philanthrOpist and moralist. That his
miserable millions bought an Ohio
senatOrship 25 years ago doesn't put
any moral quality into federal legisla-
ton perpetrated with that senator's
aid, however legally honest" it may
make the tactics of the Standard Oil
cabal. But the old man thinks it does,
perhaps, and whatever his purchased
tools do or have done to make human
oppression, british monopoly and
hellish greed triumphant and legally
honest" very likely appears to him to
bear all the brands of purest morality.
And so the old man goes on his way
toward death. satisfied that that is

ONLY ONE VIEW TENABLE.

The Yakima valley has arranged to
send several carloads of apples east
this fall for advertising purposes. A
part of the money for defraying this
expense has already been raised in
connection with the publicity fund for
the Alaska Yukon-Pacifc exposition.
In the middle of November occurs the
annual Live Stock Show in Chicago,
which brings thousands of visitors to
that city. At the same time a Land
Exposition Is to be held, exploiting
the irrigated areas and the reclama-
ton and conservation problems which
have been undertaken by the United
States government.
This is the proper time for the
Yakima valley to land two or three
cars Of choice apples in Chicago. The
people there are going land crazy al
ready because of the publicity that the
Chicago Tribune has given to the
Land Exposition. 1t is all a part of
the national movement now on foot
which finds its expression in the old
time-worn slogan Back to the soil. -
The irrigated sections are the first to
reap the advantage, as everyone is
well aware
Inasmuch as Yakima is to under
take an advertising scheme by dis
playing the products of our section in
the east, it is the part of wisdom and
common sense to get the fruit dis
plays in the foreground where the
multitude is foregathered to witness
the choice products of the world. The
live stock end of the attraction is to
be only one part of the exhibition this
year. The products of the soil will
make up the remainder, and when it
is taken into consideration that the
people of the east have their eyes
riveted on the northwest and that
they are feverish over the opportun-
tiles presented here in the way of in
tensifed agriculture and fruit culture,
it would be little short of folly if
Yakima did not take advantage of
this wonderful opportunity to reach a
multitude of people by reaching them
through the Land Exposition. The
proper officials should take this view,
there is no other ground that is jus
tihable or tenable.

BALLINGER PLEASES YAKIMA.

Yakima is well pleased with Secre-
tary Richard A. Ballinger, judging him
from three days acquaintance. He
says that President Taft sent him west
to get into close touch with reclama-
ton work. Indian reservation situa-
tions and drainage problems. If the
activity that has characterized his visit
to Yakima is true also of his visit to
other sections, the new secretary of
the interior has lost no time in carry
ing out the mandates and wishes of
his chief.
Practically the only breathing spell
1hat the secretary has allowed himself
since his arrival here Sunday noon
was little while in the afternoon of
that day while comforting with Sena-
tor Jones and those at the head of the
reclamation work here. He decided
Immediately to look after the situa-
ton at Fort Simcoe and horses were
ordered for trip far into the reserva-
ton. Sixty-five miles on horseback as
well as the business of his mission
were negotiated on Monday. Tuesday
was occupied with an investigation of
the reservation lands in connection
with the Wapato project and for
strenuousness was almost a duplication
of Mondays feat The Ellensburg
project, the Tieton project and the
Sunnyside project demand his atten-
ton yet this week.
All of this means that Secretary
Ballinger is putting in some heavy
lcks in the endeavor to get the work
of his department in hand. He is
working hard, is mastering the situa-
ton and is getting things done. All
of which pleases the people of the
Yakima valley to a dot. 1t inspires
confidence in the secretary and in his
administration. and even though he
might not speak word or give a
single promise, the people of this sec
ton would understand that he is not
letting the grass grow under his feet
in the discharge of his duty.
However, the secretary in addition
to his physical efforts to work out the
problems that confront his depart
ment has spoken some words to Yaki-
ma that sound sweet in our ears He
says that he has only half as much
money as he needs to complete the
projects now under way and that he
must go slow. but he Is so impressed
with the situation here that the Yaki-
ma projects are numbered among
those which will be pushed to an early
completion. He wants congress to pro-
vide money enough to complete all of
the projects that are now in pi Ogress
Because of these things we believe
that we have just reason to be well
satisfied with Secretary Ballinger's first
three DAYS yisif i'm orr midst II would
appear that any man who will display
the energy that Mr.. Ballinger Is dis
playing should make an excellent sec
rotary of the interior when nc has his
Office thoroughly in hand

BALL|NGER
MEETS INDIANS
GRANTS PASTURE LANDS
Red Men Also Ask That Children
Born Since 1904 Be Given
AllOtments.

Separate pasture lands for the In
dams on the Yakima reservation were
granted by Secretary Ballinger of the
Interior department at a meeting with
a few of the leading Indians at the
Commercial club ROOFS yesterday af-
ternoon. This was one OF several re-
quests made by the Indians of Secre-
tary Ballinger, and the latter assur-
ed them that the other matters would
later receive his attention.
The meeting yesterday was one
which Indians have looked forward
to ever since it was announced that
Senator Ballinger would visit the
Yakima valley. There were present
at the meeting yesterday Secretary
Ballinger, and the following Indians:
Chief Shouwiway, George Mlnick,
Charles Wesley, Status Shuster,
Thomas Umpuck, Billy Captain, John
Lumly, Homer Watson, Slusken,
Alex. Mccoy, and Lancaster Spencer.
Head Chief Yumpeepee was unable to
be present. William Charlie acted as
interpreter. l.. V. McWhorter was
also present.
Ballinger Grants Request
George Minick and Charles Wesley
were the spokesman of the Indians.
In addition to the pasture lands which
Secretary Ballinger granted on the
spot, the Indians, asked that all chill
dren born since 1904 be given allot-
ments, and that a permanent council
of the Indians be officially recognized
in dealing with questions affecting
them.
