rHE RoCKEFELLER CHANGE

Last week we published an article
from The Chicago Herald dealing
with the changed attitude of John D..
Rockefeller, Jr., towards workingmen.
1t appears that the young Mr.. Rookie
Teller has expressed his views through
the medium of The Atlantic Monthly,
and it is evident there is a complete
change in his manner of looking at the
issue from the views he expressed
before the Congressional investigat-
ing Committee, when he declared his
company would go bankrupt before it
would abandon the principle of the
"open" shop.
While it is true in his new dealings
with the miners of the Colorado Coal
fields that he does not recognize the
established unions, still he has au-
thorized organization over which he
endeavors to exercise something like
parental control But he will find this
the entering wedge. When laborers
are permitted to organize they will
ultimately secure independent organ
ization. This is certainty.
So far as subsequent events have
demonstrated the strike of the miners
of Colorado has proven successful,
although at the fearful cost of Lud-
low. The Rockefellers are no longer
and the younger one is show
ing signs that his hide is not as thick
as that of his father's-and with the
growth of years and the assumption
OF more and more power, the young
man may yet become a tremendous
factor for good in this world. In any
event let us be thankful for the pro-
Rress he has made and hope that it is
but stepping stone in his career

INHERITANCE TAX 1NDoRsED

Washington.-An inheritance tax
to raise revenues is favored by United
States Senator Owen, chairman OF the
senate banking and currency COM
mittee.
+ This is never tax upon industry"
he said. at takes from no one any
thing he has ever had. and it works
no hardship on any individual. Our
forefathers recognized that money
is power and forbade the settling Of
estates ON particular line OF success
sion which would foster great ac-
cumulations of wealth.
But the modern invention of per-
petual corporations and trusteeships
has made it possible to develop for
tunes so vast they exercise the power
Of life and death over millions of men,
women and children.
"More important than raising reve-
nue. is abating the menace of these
fortunes. An inheritance tax will re-
store to the people who created these
values gigantic sums appropriated
either by fraud or by the permission
and assistance of law itself.
at takes man of the first magni-
tude to administer an estate of $1O.-
100000. No human being can proper
ly consume the income of $4,000
year, or 500 a walking hour, from
such an estate.
"Then think of the result when
single persons fortune is estimated
at 100000, and is gathering in
$50,OO0OO0 a year of the products of
labor, while millions of the laborers
helping create this value cannot lay
aside $500 a year.
These great fortunes mean the de-
privation of millions of people of
part of their slender incomes. The
accumulated force of all these for
tunes means impoverishment of the
weaker elements in society"

PosPERITY VISITS IDAHO

3 The news that comes from all sec
tions of Idaho is one Of progress and
advancement-the rapid development
OF resources and CONSEQUENT good
times. Hundreds of thousands OF dol
lars, in fact, the million mark has
already passed in limited area in the
comparatively new industry of seed
cultivation and the returns have av-
-eraged around the hundred dollar per
acre surely enough for the
most hopeful and optimistic. From
every mining section comes news Of
renewed activities, new strikes and
rapid development and it is anticipat-
ed several bonanzas are in the course
of development; the sheep men were
never more prosperous and 90 per
cent on the investment has been
cleared by number during the past
season; the sugar industry is being
boosted by the construction of mil
lion dollar factory at Twin Falls and
the little town Of American Falls
boasts that it shipped million and
half bushels of wheat the last season.
Prosperity is in the air
Boise must look to her laurels, our
citizens must be up and doing to Sc
cure new industries that will give en-
ployment to labor; a wooden mill
should be erected. the old cannery re-
juvenated and put in operation and
above all concerted and united action
should be undertaken looking to the
construction of the Boise innemuc-
ca railway. Let everybody get busy.

AGAINST COUNTY IA1Ls

Pittsburg, Pa.,-Abolition of county
jails, except as places of detention,
and the establishment of six sectional
farms in different parts of the state
was recommended as a change in
Pennsylvania penal laws by the ex-
eccutive committee of the State Bar
association.

U. S. REPORT REFUTES
ANTI-UNION BUGABOo

(, Washington.-The United States
department of commerce, in report
on Our Share in Internationl Trade,
explodes the favorite bugaboo of an
tiuhionists that american labor is
too high priced to compete with Eu-
ropean cheap labor"
The report is issued by the national
bureau of foreign and domestic COM
merce. 1t discusses reasons why
American manufacturers are not fac
tor in foreign trade. Among the more
prominent is "the unfamiliarity of
many Of our bankers with the methods
of international finance" and also be-
cause "of more profitable investments
at home we have chosen to invest
here rather than abroad"
Another reason, which the report
declares to be most discouraging,
is that our schools and colleges seem
unable or unwilling to see the need
for training the youth to meet new
conditions. The report says that on
most schools "the language work is
inadequate and no opportunity is pro-
vided to acquire the requisite practi-
cal experience
"The big prizes in foreign trade"
continues the report, "is the public
and private developments of large pro-
portions, as, for example, the building
of railroads, the construction of pub
lie service plants, the improvement of
harbors and docks, the digging of
canals and many others which de-
mand capital in large amounts. New
countries are generally poor. They
look to older and richer countries to
supply them with the capital to
make their Improvements and to de-
velop their resources. The country
which furnishes the capital usually
sells the materials and does the work.
In the last analysis it comes to this
The country that wants the business
must finance the purchases. since the
will be made and the
materials paid for out of the money
loaned"
It is recommended that if business
men are to compete with other ma
tons these two problems must be
solved Financing foreign trade and
men to carry on such trade
In view of the persistent efforts Of
to blame organized la
Dor for present conditions, the above
declarations are both interesting and
coming as they do from
such an authoritative source.

he should support it. Actually, if the
man did heavy, unskiIled work, it has
not been humanity possible for him to
do so.
