THAT if personal property in city
were free from taxation more people of
wealth would permanently reside in that

Equitable taxation is most surely
and easily arrived at by putting all tax
alton upon one article of such univer-

its direct or indirect use. Pig iron
might be selected as the article, or pig
iron and other metals. The taxes, if
all of them were collected from metals,
would be Immediately and equitably

taxation upon metals is first that there
might be concealment of quality and,
second, it would interfere with the
manufacture of metal goods for export.
Taxation of land only has no valid
objection in equity, can not interfere
with manufactures and labor, and
would tend to wider distribution of
land and homes among the people.
but whatever may be the future
methods of taxation or sources of rev.
enue for the support of local. State or
National Governments, let us hope that
there be no more collected than is abso-

no direct nor indirect imposition of un-
natural and therefore unjust burdens
upon the whole for the benefit of any
favored or grasping few"

Spurious Land Reform.

William Wolff, formerly an active
worker of the Manhattan Single Tax
Club. of New York City, is now in Ger
many. In a letter to Mr.. Klein, of the
club, he describes so-called ''free
land" movement that is being vigor-
ously pushed by DIR. Hertzka, of Wen
ma. Mr.. Wolff heard that free land So
cieties were being started in Germany
and Austria, and literature was being
distributed, and he wrote to DIR. Hertzka
for Information. He learned that the
whole social problem was about to be
solved and the millennium forthwith in
troduced- unfortunately, however, not
in Germany or Austria, but in Central
Africa or the Islands of Polynesia, or
wherever the societies could get some
free land on which to start socialistic
communities. The scheme is not to
make land free, but to find some free
land; to stave off the struggle at home
by shipping the malcontents to foreign
shores.
From the Gays of the Roman republic,
when the soldiers and citizens were
kept quiet by gifts of land in the con-
quered provinces, down to these times
of Salvation Army colony schemes, this
form of soothing syrup has been pre-
pared and administered to the people by
statesmen, philanthropists and knaves.
In the present instance the socialistic
idea of COMMON ownership of land and
capital, and of every body belonging to
a trade or professional guild, is intro
duced to make the drug more palatable.
Germans, however, are fond of their
fatherland, and whenever they realize
that all the people need is access to the
land, they will find the necessary land
good deal nearer Berlin than Central
Africa. The Single Takers of Germany,
of whom there are now quite number,
will do their part in correcting this boz
gus free land" idea, and common sense
will do the rest.

The Detroit Free Press on the Farm
ers and the Single Tax.

In response to letter written by L.
w. Hoch, of Adrian, Mich, the Detroit
Free Press defends the income tax as a
step toward compelling the very rich to
bear their share of the burden of taxa
ton, and in answer to a question con-
corning the single tax the paper says:
''As to what the effect would be of the
operation CT the single tax it is pure
speculation, and involves SO many con-
siderations that in the absence of any
pressing question of its present adop-
ton it can hardly be worth while for
us to take the time and space necessary
to discuss it. One thing, at least, can
be said for it 1t is the only method of
taxation, probably, which would enable
the government to collect the entire
amount of tax levy without any dis
elimination between those on whom
the levy. falls. We are inclined to think,
moreover, that the imposition of the
entire tax on land-not necessarily in
the Henry George fashion-would
eventually make the burden of taxation
press moro evenly all around than can
be done in any other way. This is a
hard doctrine for the farmer to accept
with his present notion that the exc
emption of personal property from tax
alton would make him pay the tax of
the merchant, who has only personal
property. 1t is not improbable, however,
that at comparatively early day the
farmer will be foremost among those
asking for the single tax on land as the
only method of compelling the jewellers
in the cities to bear their just share Of
the burden of taxation

MONTPELIER, Vt, Aug. 26.-Presi-
dent Harrison spent the night at the
house of ex-Gov. Smith, in st. Albans.
He arose early, and before his hosts and
the other guests were stirring, he was
out of doors strolling over the grounds,
through the graperies and upon the
lawn in company with the gardner.
After breakfast he was quickly driven
to the station. About a thousand peO-
pie were there to cheer him and see
him off,
At Richmond there was large as
semblage of people. Congressman
Power introduced the president, who
said: 81 hope no American citizen will
ever begrudge the president of the
United States the refreShment which
comes from these occasional visits
through the country, and from that
draught of good will which he receives
as he looks into the faces and takes the
hands of the people who have no other
interest in the government than
1t shall be honestly administered.
But after all the bracing of
try is very essential to those who, in the
ulluSb vi SlCdb anu dOQOO anu
under staggering responsibility, en-
deavor, as they see the right, to do it. l
have had great pleasure In passing
through your beautiful valley this morn
ing, and [ thank you foIyour kindness"
At l0:30 the train reached Waterbury.
Gov. Page joined the party with Con-
gressman w. w. Grant. The president
left the car, escorted by Gov. Dilling-
ham, who introduced him to the people.
The president spoke from the station
platform, saying that it was very pleas
ant to know that public officer may
travel everywhere through this great
land and find always his sure defence
and care in the good will and respect of
the people who surround him. "If we
bar the irresponsible crank, so far as
l can see, the president is in no
peril, except that he may be killed by
| the superabundant kindness of the peO-
pie. There seems to be an impression
that his strength and capacity for
| speechmaEing is unfailing, and that his
arm is hickory limb. l have some
times thought that the habit of atten-
| ton, of giving the whole mind to the
business in hand, had its very natural
origin and development in New
England agriculture. The man
who holds a plough In stumpy
or stony field learns the lesson that he
had better give his mind to the business
| In hand, thank you for this friendly
| greeting. l can say nothing OF public
affairs. Every man called to public
Office is subject to the infrmities that
belong to our nature-the capacity to
make mistakes. He can be, if he is
true, sure of one thing IN all that
he does he has it in his mind to do the
best he can for all the people"
The train bearing the presidential
party reached Montpelier at lilo. Mr..

walked with neads uncovered. .ho ..io 1;tiIe 1:tie
