GETS BACK AT EN-.
G. j. Buell. Replies to Some Argu-
ments Against the Single Tax.


G. ]. Buell.. the apostle of the single
tax theory. yesterday said in reply to
the statements of G. B. Mabon and E. S.
Carser, quoted in yesterdays GLOBE:
every cent that is made out CT land
values is simply taking money out of
one mans pocket and putting it in some
one else's pocket. It's just like cutting
a piece of rope off at one end and splic-
ing it on at the other. l see j. G. Maben
says that for every dollar of personal
property and improvements in country
districts there are IS in land values.
State Auditor Braden's report, however,
shows tlrat for every 500 in land value
in the state, outside of Minneapolis and
st. Paul, there are $l59 and some cents
in personal property and improvements
assessed for taxation. and in Minneapo-
lis and st. Paul for every 800 in land
value there are only $50 in personal
property and improvements assessed.
Maben thinks that the taxes in the
country taxes would be more than
doubled by single tax, and claim they
would be materially reduced. / know
about half the taxes in the state are
raised in Minneapolis and st. Paul and
with single tax two-thirds of the taxes
would be raised in Minneapolis and st.
Paul. If you were to take Duluth, Still
water and WinOna out of the country
districts the difference would be greater
still. AS for E. S. Corser's statement
that the single tax agitation will keep
capital from seeking investmentin Min
nesota, l have no doubt that capital
coming here for investment in vacant
lots will be checked, but capital coming
here to be invested in business enter
prises will be vastly encouraged. be-
cause it will be free from taxation.
Any one can take his choice, whether
he would rather have capital come here
to build up business and manufacturing
protests that will give employment TO
thousands, OF to simply be invested sin
vacant lots to be held for rise in the
market,

REAL ESTATE DEAL.
Simple Enough i'm Itself, but 1t
Nav Cause Trouble.


The majority of the cases which come
up in the district court are cases i'm
volving the transfer of real estate, and
if one is to believe all the complaints
which are filed there must be a loteof
people in Minneapolis and vicinity who
make it point to swindle their neigh
bOrs in real estate deal. A case was
begun before Judge Young yesterday
in which fraud is alleged. and from all
indications the case promises to be an
interesting one. 1t is the suit of Flor
ence E. Saunders against George E..
Letcher, Minnie ii. Letcher, Orlando T..
Letcher, IncZ Letcher, George l.. Bet
finger and Augusta Bettinger. to secure
an accounting between the plain
tiff and George Letcher, and to
compel Letcher to make over to
her lot 4, block %, in Calhoun park
Mrs. Saunders alleges that Jan. 25,
1888, she, by her agent, N. T. Saunders,
agreed to sell the land, together with
furnished house on it, to Mr.. Letcher
for $4,000. part in money and part in
real estate. Now Mrs. Saunders charges
that the defendant used false repre-
sensations III inducing her to part with
her property, and that the land she Sc
cured In return for her property is not
worth anything like what Letcher
claimed it was at the time OF the sale.
The plaintiff also demands that Mr..
Letcher pay her for the use OF the
house and furnishings since they have
been in his possession.
The defense is that Mrs. Saunders re-
ceived full value for her property, and
little more, and that her agent claimed
that he was acting for himself alone at
the time he made the sale. The case is
a badly miXed-up one, and may develop
some interesting features.

generally are dismayed at the issue of
the election, and are of the opin-
ion that the Conservative ora
tors who have recently been
touring the Ulster provinces OF
ireland, gave utterance to sentiments
which spoiled the chances of Sir John
Pender. The outcome is considered
heavy blow to the government, i'll view
of the overtures made to the working
men by Sir John Pender. and the pre-
dictions of the Tory papers that the
Conservative candidate would fulfill all
his promises. The Conservative press
are sad over the result, but the London
Daily News is iubilant.
