1t "Sees the Cat.

Evidences multiply that the single
tax idea is slowly making its way in
places where no ser ious effort has been
made by the advocates of the move
ment. Sometimes, still, there is dis
claimer of sympathy with the "Henry
George idea;' but this is becoming less
frequent, and, in constantly increas-
ing number of cases, the advocates OF
improved methods Of taxation frankly
avow their indebtedness to Mr. George
for the ideas they advocate. An in
stance of this is found in the following
editorial article, which appeared in the
Kingston Pa) Morning Times of
July II:
There is in this country nothing so
unfair as the system in vogue for col
lecting taxes, 1t is not necessary to go
away from home to see the miserable
work done by incompetent assessors.
Here's an instance cited at the Kings
ton council room at last meeting:
Mr.. Flanagan stated that his lot on
Maple street was assessed at IS
per foot frontage. AS matter of fact,
the market value is $50, and there is
probably none that can be bought at
that figure. Mr.. Flanagan's lot, there
fore, is assessed at one-sixteenth of its
value. AS councilman Mr.. Flanagan
sees the reason why Kingston borough
collects so little tax. The land is as
sessed at one-sixteenth Of its value. and
buildings at one-fourth to one-sixth
Such an assessment tends to discourage
building, and favors those who hold
land for speculation purposes. If the
assessors pretend to be fair they should
keep the valuation at one-fourth or one
sixth, and serve all alike. The Times
does not advocate an increase of taxes
on improved property. An increase on
land will raise the tax on revenues SO
that the taxes on improved property
will decrease, if any thing. A borough
has a certain sum to raise each year,
and where land is being held as spec
ulation, and is not being improved, that
property should pay the bulk of the
taxes. This idea is in close alliance
with the Henry George theory, and itia
just and equitable.

Stelzner's Grundzinegemeinschah.

Under the title of Grundzinsgemein-
chaft or community-of-ground rents. a
characteristic example of word build
ing which would delight Mark Twain,
Alfred Stelzner writes pamphlet,
Berlin, 1890, to prove that the idea OF
land naturalization is of German origin.
Mr.. Henry George has on several oc.
casions repudiated any claim to abso-
lutte priority of ideas in the great field
OF land reform. He has frankly ad.
mitted that the fundamental concep4
ton of the single tax has occurred to
other men at various periods of the
worlds history. This pamphlet, even
if correct in its conclusions, is there
fore welcome to every man who has the
reform at heart, as an evidence that the
world is beginning to appreciate the val
ue of the single tax, if the different
nationalities are already disputing as to
who has prior claim upon it,
Iregret to say that have not been
able to procure the pamphlet itself; my
only knowledge of it is derived from a
review which appeared in the April
number of the newly founded Schwei'
zerische Rundschau, but which is suffi.
GENTLY comprehensive to give one a
good idea of the contents.
Stelzner maintains that the principle
of common ownership of land was prac-
tically applied by primitive German
law, and was only set aside by the in
PRODUCTION of Roman law and the
growth of the Feudal system. He
shows how the land passed into the
hands of the sovereign and his nobles;
how the free peasants became serfs
thereby; and how in modern times, in
spite of the abolishing of serfdom, the
mass of the people are still in a state of
servitude to landlords. Steiner then
considers the present reaction which
has arisen against this servitude, and
claims the honor of pioneer in the
movement for a physician and philan-
thropist, Dr. Theodor Stamm, who in
1871 issued book entitled 1.-The Deliv-
erance of Famishing Humanity" +"
"Stamm," says Stelzner, considers
the transformation of the private own
ership of ground rent into community
ownership as the rescuing task of civ
ilization." The pamphlet further de-
scribes the work of the 'Allwohlbund," !"
which, like the "Bund fur Bodenbesitz.
REFORM" carries on the propaganda Of
the single tax in Germany.
AS Mr.. Georges book on Progress
and Poverty" did not. l think, appear
until 1879 or 1880, Stelzner's claim of
priority for Stamm must be admitted;
but this of course, in no way detracts
from the merit of our great American
exponeuts work 1t still remains true
that Mr.. George worked out his remedy
for the social problem Independently,
that he presented his facts and elabor.
ated his plan with a skill and eloquence
which far surpass those Of any other
collaboration in the same field, and that
| it was his book which, bursting upon
the world with irresistible force, obliged
every one to pause and listen to the ar
guments of the single tax.
On the whole, this German pamphlet
is only another sign of the universally
of the hoped for land reform, and a
source of encouragement to those who
are laboring in the good cause in Amer

A prominent young Rochester physi.
clan had a call one night that promised
to keep him out late, and his wife sat
up for him, getting more and more
nervous as the slow hours Jagged on
leaden feet, after the manner of ladies
so engaged. At midnight there came a
step up the walk, up the side stoop,
even to the Office door. Mrs. Doctor
thought she recognized it as her hus-
hands, and without any precautionary
"Whos there?" or SIS that you, Tom?"
threw the door wide open. There was
man there, and he was not her hus-
band He was big, burly fellow; his

scream, '1'm shot! I'm shotp' she stag

The man, naturally, ran for dear life.
Mrs. Doctor dropped into chair and
screamed for help. Her brother ran to
her assistance. With a last effort she
raised herself from the chair, reeled to-
ward him and fell fainting in his arms,
gasping out just before she lost con.
sciousness: Joe, he's killed me. Break
it gently to Tom"
1t came near being matter more Sc.
rious than funny, for when the fainting
spell was over it was no easy matter to
convince the lady that she was unhurt
and quiet her nerves. And now in one
