be made to have the land entered under
the proposed system. He would have
all the powers of judge of the district
court, and the only redress against his
decision is in all appeal to higher
court. All judgments and sheriff's GER
titicates and liens against property are
filed with him. When application is
made to him, the abstract of title and a
statement of all claims against the prop
erty in question are filed with and made
part of the application. He then pro-
ceeds to examine the title. Having de-
termined its validity he issues a
certificate of title. When the prop
erty is sold a certificate of
sale is made out. This is presented to
the master of titles, who examines it,
and issues new certificate that is as
absolute and unimpeachable as the first.
The fee paid at Thea time makes the
guarantee fund to be held inviO liable
and invested under the direction of the
court. In case a mistake is made by
the master of titles' in drawing GER
tifcate, the person in whom the real
title lies makes case against the guar
dian fund, and when his claim is eStab-
lished, is reimbursed. In thirty years
of practice under this system in Aus
tralia only one valid clam against the
fund was found, and that for only

explained the system at some length.
He understood the working of the Sys-

several questions which were asked in

was preparing bill to be presented to
the Legislature, embracing Hennepin

Messrs. Marsh, Bartlett, CHANNEL,

A GOOD DECISION,
Judge Rea Makes an Important
One Regarding a Corporation.

An important decision has been filed
in the matter of the assignment of the
Empire Coffee and Spice company, by
Judge Rea. The company assigned,
directing that its assets be divided
among such creditors as filed releases.
Judge Rea held that this is not a valid
assignment, as releasing individual
stockholders from debts for which they
are liable. In the opinion of the court
a corporation cannot assign under the
insolvent act and require creditors to re-
lease the corporation, thereby releasing
the stockholders from personal liability,
as a condition upon which they, the
creditors, may share in the corporation
assets.

thrown into the street, where it was
found by Smith. The case went to the

able proselytes neglect to take
any account of probable political
consequences OF their scheme, provided
it were possible to clear the way for it.
1t is common experience of nations

In the third part Of his address, Prof.
Eolwell said he proposed to show that
the single tax plan is
NOT A PLAN OF TAXATION
at all in the proper and accepted sense
Of the word, and further Henry George
did not originally proposeit as scheme
for taxation proper. Taxation. the pro-
lessor held, was not an imposition, but
a contribution. In his book on Pro-
gress and Poverty, Mr.. George claims
that poverty keeps poor with progress,
because rent is always on the increase
at the expense of wages. He also
holds that we must make land COM
mon property. This, then, is what
Henry George really means when he
advocates the single tax theory. e
does not propose to cOnfiScate land, oh
no; that would never do. He only pro-
poses to con6scate rent, which in real
ity would be
CONFIsCATING THE LAND.
ConfscatiOn and taxation are not the
same, and in order to cause no alarm
Mr.. George simply advocates confis-
eating rent. He reminds me of ten
der-hearted railroad man who said lie
did so hate to run over a man-becauSe
it mussed up the track so. Mr.. George
wrong i'll baslng property on the rights
Of individual exertiori alone. He ig
nores entirely the right of society to
control individual appropriation. He
claims that men can own only what they
create. Then men would be
OBLIGED TO LIVE ON THE BOOKS,
plows and ships and other things which
they make. Secure tenure OF land is
necessary to good cultivation, because
no man will improve land and work 1T
if it eau be taken way from him at the
Will OF some one else. In closing his adj
I dress Prof. FoIwell advised all the
single tax people to go slower, as they
would injure their own cause by be-
coming to enthusiastic.
At the conclusion of the lecture Prof.
FOlWell answered numDef OF queS-
lions relative to what he had had said.
G. j. Buell., the leading single tax al
.voeate in Minneapolis. did not take
kindly to Prof. Folwelrs remarks, and
arising from his seat in the audience
asked the professor if he really under
stood what Henry George meant when
he advocated the single tax plan. Prof.
Folwell replied that he did, and then
Mr. RueIj manfred somewhat sarcastic
ally if he thought that Henry George
really meant to confcate land, in the
mean, Iow-down sense of the term. The
professor answered that he took the
gentleman'S own words for it, and had
come to conclusion that he meant moth
ing more or less that. But" he added,
'.Henry George does not like the term
confscation, and so uses the word taxa
ton" An animated discussion fol-
lowed, Mr.. Buell. coming out rather
damaged, but still in the ring.
