ROUNDUP SPIRIT CANNOT
Be MOVED TO FRISCO

Pendleton, Ore, Sept S.-Consid-
ering that it would be disloyal to the
people who have been so loyal to the
Roundup and further, that it would
be impossible to transfer the spirit
which makes the Roundup famous,
the Board of Directors have definite
ly and conclusively turned down the
magnanimous offer from the Board
of Directors of the San Francisco Ex-
position to bring the Roundup down
there in October. The spirit and the
principle of the Roundup would both
be involved if an effort was made to
tear it up and transplant it on the
Exposition grounds. Consequently
the only Roundup which will be held
this year will be at Pendleton, Sep
tember %, "a and %.
For the past two months the Expo
sition officials have been making ov-
ertures to the Roundup to come
down there and reproduce the 1915
show. Negotiations progressed so
far that a definite offer of all ex-
penses and a big bonus was made and
at their request Roy Bishop, one of
the directors, went to San Francisco
to discuss details. But after the mat
ter had been definitely settled so far
as the monetary details were con-
cerned the Roundup directors decid-
ed to refuse the offer for the reasons
given above.
To move the Roundup to San
Francisco would have entailed a cost
against the exposition of approxi-
mately $4,000 with $4,000 addi-
tional for staging the show down
there. All this they agreed to pay
and then give bonus but even with
all this the spirit and loyalty of the
Roundup could not have been boxed
up and shipped along with the hor-
ses, stage coaches and Indians. There
will be no Roundup in Frisco.

SHIFTS THE BURDEN.

Beneficial use should be requisite
to retaining title to timber lands, -
says the Pendleton East Oregonian,
and commenting further upon this
statement, the Oregon Voter says:
That would mean that title should
be held to timber only while it was
being cut.
Only timber actually being milled
could be taxed.
That is the way the forest reserve
system works out-the sawmill man
pays for timber as he uses it.
This system applied. would remove
500, 1000, 100000 feet of standing tim
Der from the tax rolls of Oregon. To-
day, this timber pays nearly $4,000
600 in taxes. If the timber didn't
pay this s3,000,00O towards main
tanning roads, schools, government
and institutions. the wheat grower,
the dairy farmer and the balance of
our population would have to pay it.
That is the effect single tax would
have-to destroy private title to
land except as the land was used. 1t
would absorb all the rental value,
and the owner of unused lands would
be compelled to use 1t or let it go
for taxes. If timber land, using it
would mean milling the timber, and
as soon as the timber was cut, the
worthless logged-off land could not
be taxed, for nobody would want it.
Not until we have millions of pop
ulation, so prosperous that they will
not care to tax unused timber land
or unused land of any kind, can we
afford to adopt tax system that will
throw the entire burden of govern
ment upon the producers who are act
ually using their land. The Single
Tax, where applied, has exactly the
opposite effect to what its enthusias-
tic theorists claim-it throws the
whole burden of taxation upon the
user of land, and brings the unused
land into untaxed and idle public
ownership, practically the same as
our forest reserves of today.

FIRE ON UNITED STATES
eATTLEsHfP OKLAHOMA
OF Mysterious origin-Pense Smoke
But No Flames Visible.

Philadelphia July 19.-Fire of a
mysterious origin was discovered to-
night on board the United States bat
tlesh;2 Oklahoma at the New York
Shipbuilding Company in Camden.
Smoke was seen issuing from the
compartment under Turren No. i
shortly after the workmen had left the
yard for the day. The compartment
was flooded and 1t was believed the
fire had been put out. At o'clock
however more smoke was observed
and the compartment was again flood
ed, the fire being finally extinguished
an hour later.
S. M. Knox. president of the ship
building company, declared that he
was unable to account for the fire as,
to the best of his knowledge, there
was nothing that could burn in the
compartment from which the smoke
came.
The Oklahoma is of the super
dreadnought type and is about ready
for her trial trip. The builders ex-
pect to deliver her to the government
nj September. A curious feature of
the fire is that while there was dense
smoke, at no time were there any
flames visible. A similar condition
prevailed at a slight fire aboard the
battleship Alabama on July IL at the
Philadelphia navy yard which was
said by officials at the yard to have
been due to crossed electric wires.

According to attorneys and officials.
the fact that 1t was not Klug who was

Georgian. That a man was murdered
was well established, they said, and
the circumstantial evidence positively
connected Georgian with the crime.
Georgian, however. has continually de-

DEMAND. FOR MAcHINisTs
IN NEW ENGLAND
Vice President of international Union
Believes General Strike Unneees-
sary.

Boston, July 19.-The demand for
machinists is SO much greater tnan
the supply that a general strike in
New England to enforce the wishes
of the union probably will not be
necessary, In the opinion Of p. J. Con-
Ion, international vice president of the
machinists union. Mr.. Conlon and
three other international officers held
q secret conference with the executive
board and organizing committee of
the local union tonight. The officers
declined to make public what action
had been taken, further than to say
that-the plans discussed would be re-
ferred to the members of the union at
meeting Thursday night.
In an interview after this meeting
Mr.. Conlon said:
'T do not look for a general strike
among the machinists employed by
the firms which are now rushed to
capacity to I'LL war orders. The de-
mand for men capable Of doing the
work required is many times greater
than the supply. For this reason, and
the reason that any demands made
by the members Of the union will not
be unreasonable, look for a peaceful
settlement"
81 am sure that the unions demand
for an eight hour day for year will
be granted by all concerns engaged in
this line of business. not only in
Bridgeport, but in ell other sections
OF the country. The union WIN not be
unreasonable In its wage demands,
but will look fora share OF the pro-
fit that Is being made by the firms
making and selling shells and rifles.
The firms engaged In other lines need
not fear any demands which would
be liable to cause them a hardship"
