awhile in the cabins along the Tuba,
above Marysville, you will find miners
still coyoting among the thrice-sifted
piles of gravel for the aftermath of

with bent and twisted hands, who
know every noted driver of the Pacific
coast: you will hear stories of staging
in the tifties and sixties, in the widest
parts of the Sicrras, that have never
reached print, but have been carried
on, through manifold traditions, until
they have reached the completeness
and the dignity of an epic of the stage
coach.
Besides the longer stories one hears
there are dozens of lesser episodes of
the staging days-the episode of
Smoily's runaway, for instance.

After this episode Smoky's real name
fell into disusc: he was Ism ol<y'' and
''Old Smoky from the Sierra to the
Sacramento.
On the day when Smoky had his run
away affair, the stage swung into
Grass Valley early in the morning,
with two passengers aboard, both in
side. They had breakfast, and then
Smoky took charge. He drove around
in front OF the store to wait for another
passenger; he put on the brake, as he
supposed. twisted the reins about the
brake bar, and went into the store.

THE EFFECT THE SINGLETAx.


From q Speech by IhoS. u. Sneafnans
When all land was taxed according
to its value, the unoccupied just as
much as the occupied land standing
next to it, the owner of the vacant land
would. on the morning after you adopt
ed this system, be ctamorous to have
laborers come and improve his land, be-
cause that would be the only way by
which he could obtain the revenue
from it. So long as he did not improve,
he would have to pay taxes out of his
own pocket, and it would be ruinous to
him: as soon as he improved, he would
have sources of revenue from which he
could afford to pay taxes and conduct
the business of a landlord, OF rsiSrTer,
land manager, n not useless or lnj jurlonS
business in its way.
Another thing would happen, which
some of our friends perhaps would not
like. The wild real estate speculation
now going on would stop: there would
be no more southern California booms.
Men would select real estate with refer
ence to the wants OF the community.
This is not system of taxation which
would bring about absolute equality; it
is simply system which would leave
in the pockets of every man that which
he had fairly earned; a system which
would leave to every man the full adj
God had given him, the full benefit OF
his natural abilities, without any at
tempt on the part of the government to
take away from him an unfair proper"
tion of that which he owned

horses must be stopped before this
descent was reached or a smash-up was
inevitable. He decided to do his best
to check the horses; if he failed he
would Jump out and leave them.
The first thing to do was to swing ON
tho drivers box. A heavier man might
have failed, but the young stranger
was alert and muscular; he watched
he chance, caught the iron bar at the
end of the seat, drew himself out,
poised second on the window SILL and
leaped upward just as the stagecoach
swung toward him. He found himself
landed, in consequence, upon the
drivers seat, and clinging to the brake
bar. The lines were flying wildly over
the heads of the horses, or tangled
under their feet.
The young man began to put on the
brakes, not with any haste. but slowly
and carefully. The great curving

them to fly from the wheels. Again

released them, steadying tie massive

curves of the dusty road, and reeled
from side to side like a drunken giant.
At one moment the young man felt the

the ravine, and lean over the abyss as
if ready to plunge down into the tops
