A Crushing Burden.

even as it stood two months age
the burden upon future generations
was crushing-a legacy of poverty and
woe to the ages yet to come. Tax
alton even now is a tragedy. We
imagine we know something about
taxes here in the United States. We
have not yet learned the syllabiles OF
excise. In Italy the rate ranges from
- to 20 per cent. In Japan a willing
80 per cent. as a measure of loyalty
and patriotism. But we had hoped
that all this was an absolute him
drance.
And yet today the war is costing
Europe $5O,OOO,OOO a day. The in
sanity from an economic viewpoint is
pitiful; it means turmoil and toll for
centuries. 1t means stolid men,
wretehed women, famished children,
ruined business, deserted landslide
world gone mad for generations to
come.
"Nikola Tesla, used to the calcu-
lation of the ordinarily incalculable,
sobers the whole world when he esti-
mates that by the end of the two
hundredth day the war cost will have
reached $7O,O00,OOO,O0O!" ...>.
Showing how the nations of Europe
were weighted down with the taxes
because of their war lust and their
desire to arm, DR.. Green declared we
were not entirely blameless in this
country, because a large per cent. of
the income of the United States gov
eminent went solely to the support
of the army and navy departments
and to pay pensioners of war. He
said we knew nothing of taxes, and
the greatest surprise a foreign laborer
receives when he comes over here
and gets his first weeks pay is that
it is all his, and that he does not
have to divide it with the govern
ment.

Paris.-Nothing better illustrates
the relations between French officers
and privates than the following Incl
dent related by a wounded soldier:
.'One day under the peppering of
p,ftraiIIeuse fire." he said, "a soldier
fighting in the first rank was over
come by panic and turned to the rear.
The captain seized him by the arm,
led him back to his post and remained
beside him until he quoted. Shortly
after we charged bayonet, and do you
know who led? 1t was the very man
who wanted to fly. The captain had
inocuIated him with his own cour-
age"

Woodrow Wilson And
Washington Best Presidents
Especial to Times RecOrder.)

(Special to Times Recorder
SAVANNAH, Ga, Nov, 12.-The most
pronounced applause that greeted DR.
Thomas Edward Green, first vice pres
ident of the American Peace society
and otherwise noted as an enemy of
war. at the Odeon Theatre, yesterday
afternoon, was when he paid trib-
ute to Wood Wilson as a peacemaker.
DR.. Greene spoke under the auspices
of the Y. NJ. c. A His address was
one of the regular series arranged for
the fall and winter at the Odeon and
he was heard by a large number of
men who grew enthusiastic as the
speaker continued his arraignment
against war and it's horrors.
An Earnest Talker.
The speaker spoke with great
earnestness and with much spirit. He
assailed the war trust, which includes
men of every nation whose financial
interests lie in the manufacture and
sale of arms and he criticised with
much severity the statement credited
to Theodore Roosevelt that he had
seen the plans of a European nation
for the attacking of the harbors of
New York and San Francisco. He
ridiculed the accuracy of such an as
sertion upon the part of the war
loving ex-president, and said the
fallacy of such a statement showed
upon its face. To begin with, if there
was any nation that had such plans
the last man in the world to see them
would be Roosevelt, and that what
was really meant was that European
nations had maps of those harbors
just as the United States board of
strategy has maps and plans of every
important seaport in the world. 1t is
part of the business of such boards
to get these things, but the fact that
they have them is of no political sig
nificance.

Fifteen Billion Men.

ITO show that war is the burden
of the nations" he declared Great
Britain has a public debt of more
than three and half billion dollars,
an average of 1872 per capita. And
in England there are 1,0S6,7O7 paupers,
These are actually registered as Off
cial paupers. France, he declared
to be the miracle of the nations, that
it could escape annihiliation and carry
the burden of debt under which it
staggers.

Washington and Wilson.

Referring to Washington's advice at
the close of his career that the United
States avoid foreign alliances, DR..
Green took occasion to refer in the
most glowing terms to the far-sighted-
ness, the calmness and the splendid
ability of Woodrow Wilson. He de-
clared Washington, Lincoln and Will
son stood out as the most prominent
and most able presidents this country
ever had.
Decrying against war because of its
great cost in money, DR.. Green said:
I'VE had believed that financial
necessity would prove an insur-
mountable obstacle to war.
There was not a nation of Eu-
rope that was not already face to
face with economic tragedy. OF the
triple alliance, Germany had a debt
of three and a half billion dollars;
Austria-Hungary, three billion, six
hundred million; Italy, two billion,
seven hundred million. OF the triple
entente, Great Britain, three and a
half billion; France, six billion and
a half; Russia four billion and
half, and ruined, bankrupt Japan,
billion and half against a popula-
ton of 52.000,0OO. With some of
the nations of Europe the limit of
possible obligation had apparently
been reached. Italy, fresh from her
inexcusasle war for Tripoli, had a
debt Of two billion seven hundred
million dollars against an estimated
total wealth of twenty billion-that is,
a full 10 per cent. of ItaIy's total
wealth was mortgaged by her inter
es,bearing debt. France, reputed own
err of sixty-fve billions, was paying in
terest on 10 per cent. of her entire
possession. Germany was expending
43.5 of her total income on her mill
ta-y establishment. England was
appr1priating 35 per cent. of her
gross receipts. OF the entire wealth
of the civilized world $37,OOOOOO,0O
was embodied in national debts
practically all of it war debt-and
lest year { 1879 65 per cent. of the
revenue of the civilized nations was
! ahenated from all betterment and
Toured into the ravenous nav OF
militarism.

six hundred years, counting three
generations to a century. That many
men have died in war.
During the nineteenth century
alone 100000 men died as a result
of battle, and it cost the world
forty-two thousand million dollars for
their taking off. And as a result of
all that stupendous price of life and
treasure there stands but little great
achievement recorded for the COM
mon good"

Friendly Japan.

Telling of a visit he had paid to
Japan, DR.. Green said it was folly
to believe the people of that country
wanted war with the United States.
To the country they looked with the
greatest admiration upon America.
We are her ideal and they follow
our example in everything possible.
Those who drought any motive, try
to bring the United States and Japan
into war do a great wrong and the
Japanese are as friendly to us as any
nation in the world. The speaker
dwelt upon this topic for some time
and his remarks were splendidly re-
ceived.

HARLAN DISCUSSES
COUNTY BUSINESS

Owing to delay in publishing my
letters, will condense my former
letters and confine my discussion to
one article. The election is drawing
near, and time and space are limited.
Briefly stated, stand for square
deal for every citizen of the county,
and for square deal for every Sec
tion of the county in taxation, good
roads, good public schools, and pledge
the taxpayers that if an elected as
one of three county commissioners
that ! will use every effort to protect
the interests of the people. l will
oppose graft, and see that every dol
lar of the peoples money gees as far
whom being spent as would were
spending my own personal funds.
/ stand for the welfare and better
nent of The county. l stand for good
roads, and lots of them.
Such policy. based on economy
and good business, would benefit
laboring men of the county, for it
would mean more labor for men here
in the count 1t would mean letter
roads for every section of the county.
Therefore, it will be seen that l am
not opposed to good roads, but in
favor of all the good roads possible to
construct. oppose extravaganza and
waste in the building of roads, be-
cause our needs are SO great that
when we waste dollar in one road
district other must suffer because
there is limit to the amount that
can be spent even for roads. would
like to see good roads into every dis
trict in the county.
TAXATION.
insist on quare and impartial
deal for all within the county in the
matter of taxation to the end that the
burdens of taxation may rest equally
on all. 1t is charged that l am in
favor of cutting down timber company
taxes and raising the farmer. ia
vor nothing of the kind. believe in
cruising timber. The assessor should
not guess at timber values. ] am
opposed to wasting county funds for
anything, and condemn the policy of
giving work to non-residents without
competition. l think it would be
better to employ residents of the
county where possible, get the cruise
as reasonable as possible, and spend
the surplus on roads. What would
the people think Of me were l COM
missioner and was able to pull off
stunt like this: l would go to Port
land at the county's expense and rig
a contract with some one there who
had been highly recommended to me

pledge the people to work, as their
public servant, to this end.
EXTRAVAGANZA

pledge the people to work, as their
public servant, to this end.
EXTRAVAGANZA.
l condemn extravaganza. l am
opposed to wasting penny of the
taxpayers money. l believe county
official is a servant of the people !;
that public Office is sacred trust,
and that it is unjust, unfair and poor
business to close the doors to open
competition in the purchase of county
supplies, as general proposition.
stand for strict economy consistent
with efficiency. Funds placed at the
disposal of the county commissioners
should be expended judiciously. It
behooves the officials to be careful,
ever mindful they are spending money
taken from the people, often at sac
rifice, and that the tax dollar should
not be wasted.
ROADS.
have previously referred to this
subject. l would emphasize that
stand for good roads and more of
them. l know the needs of our coun
ty. l am in sympathy with the set
tier who is struggling to make a
home. appreciate what the outlay
ing districts have endured, and how
these people want roads. Therefore
the need ofeconomy in cruising tim
Der and buying county printing and
other supplies. We have no money
to waste. The people need it on
their roads, and l favor spending
every cent available to the end the
people may have more roads. There
fore no settler and no community need
feel that the election of republican
county board is vote against good
roads.
Another matter relative to roads is
the question of road overseers. The
law permits two methods-appoint-
ment by the board or election by the
people of the district. l believe the
people are the best judge Of this mat
ter. l believe the people of every
road district should have something
to say about who their overseer should
be. believe fitness for the position
should govern, not whether or not
s ome man will vote for me and help
keep me in office. What the county
needs is good roads, not a political
machine that will perpetuate me in
office.
But no matter who he may be or
how we'll qualified, l shall insist that
all ovreseers shall meet the board at
the beginning of the fiscal year which
is also the opening of the road season,
for the purpose of discussion. In
blasting we can discuss the palcing of
holes and the amount of powder to
use to get best results. We can dis
cuss grading and graders, dragging
and drags, when to drag, the time for
road work, in the interest of econo-

Non-partisan candidate for Judge of
the Second Judicial District, State

actively engaged in the practice of

of Nez Perez county, in which capac-
ity he has rendered the citizens of
that county valuable and efficient SER

in procedure, speedy trials, no delays,
has no favorites and believes in q

my, efficiency and better roads. We
need the best methods of permanent
improvements, and how to attain
them. Culverts, and the best kind
and use, drainage in general, and the
keeping and rendering Of accounts.
These discussions will awaken an in
terest and give uniformity of action
and general results, and beget econ
omy and efficiency. Road building is
business not to be dealt with light
ly. The county should keep supplied
with powder and other road matreial
so road workers coming for material
shall not return empty handed and
thus lose time to be charged against
the road fund. Failure to do this in
the past has cost needless expense, de-
lay and hindered road work.
THE SPOILS.
To the taxpayers and citizens of
our county belong the spoils. There
fore l insist when bids for supplies
and contracts of whatever nature are
as low or lower than others, prefer
ence shall be given our own citizens.

and l entered into a contract with
him to preform the road work for this
county for year, ignoring the bids
of any other competitor? He would
bring his own crew in from Oregon
and shut our people off from the work
you needed and could just as we'll
perform at less money and do we'll
for yourself? Methinks you would
feel somewhat ruff1ed. You would
ask for an explanation. Then would
tell you l didn't consider anyone in
Clearwater county competent to do
the work. Wouldn't some of you tax
payers and citizens be tempted to
crawl my frame and ride me with
spurs back to Portland? But is the
comparison too farfetched to remind
you of a similar stunt pulled off not
many moons ago? There were men
here ready and competent to do the
cruise, men who needed and wanted
the work. Directly and indirectly
the citizens of the county would have
benefited had the work been given
our own people and all tie MOI ey
remained in the county.
The purpose of the cruise was good,
but the manner of letting the con-
tract was bad and hope that who
ever may be elected that no other
cruising contract will be let with
as much disregard for the interests
of the taxpayers and disrespect to
the wishes and needs of our own
citizens.
SCHOOLS.
l favor the most liberal policy
with our public schools. AS coun-
ty commissioner would do all l could
to assist and encourage the country
schools. l believe the boys and girls
back in the woods should have an
education, and that policy consis-
tent with this sentiment should be
pursued by the county board.
DEVELOPING OUR COUNTY.
| believe in Clearwater county.
| have faith in our soil and natural
resources, and would encourage tire
establishment of industries that will
give employment to labor, and home
market to our farmers. would favor
policy of encouragement. | would
encourage timber companies to build
mills ard operate by making taxes
on improvements as low as possible,
but not on standing timber. And
would not penalize the farmer by
initiating the value of farm improve
ments.. l favor the largest possible
exemption on farm improvements.
