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 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
diStri buted, and he wrote to DIR. Hertzka
for Information. He learned tAat the
whole social problem was about to be
solved and the millennium forthwith in
troduced-unfortuna 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 socialistio
communities. The scheme is not to
make land free, but to find some free
land; to stave off the struggle at horne
by shipping the malcontents to foreign
shores.
From the days of the Roman republic,
when the soldiers and citisSns were
quered provinces, down to these times

In the present instance the socialistio
idea of common ownership of land and
capital, and of every body belonging to
trade or professional guild, is intro
duced to make the drug more palatable.
Germans, however, are fond of then
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 the rest.

How "A Bold Burmah Outlaw Escaped Exc
cution.
For several years the dacoitS of Upper
Burmah have overrun the country, liv-
ing wholly by plumber and greatly re
tarding progress under the British
regime. notorious leader of these
robber bands was Yam Yum, and the
government finally offered a reward
for the capture or killing of the bold
outlaw. The country became too hot
for him. and he wrote to an officer of
the government asking how he would
be treated if he surrendered. The Of
ficer replied: There is reason to be-
lieve that your life will be spared, -ow-
ing to the clemency of the govern
ment." Yam Yum, upon the strength OF
this letter. marched into camp and gave
himself up.
He had committed so many crimes
that the Government thought he ought
to suffer the penalty of death. In a
proclamation offering full pardon to all
dacoits who surrendered, Van Yum had
been distinctly excepted from the bene-
fits of this act of clemency. The Gov
ernment was in quandary, therefore.
The officer was informed very plainly
that he had no right whatever to hold
out hopes to Yam Yum. But upon the
strength of this letter Yam Yum had vol
UNFAIRLY surrendered, and it was thought
it would be unwise to execute him under
the circumstances. The matter was re-
ferred to the Judicial Commissioner,
who decided that Van Yum could not be
nut to death. but should be sentenced to
life imprisonment.-Chi Journal

but only its remedy, and the good of the

Equitable taxation is most surely
and easily arrived at by putting all tax
alton upon one article of such univer-
sal use that no person can exist without
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
spread over the whole community in
| just proportions. But the difficulty in
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.

| National Governments let us hope that
there be no more collected than is abso-
iutely necessary for the proper and

upon the whole for the benefit of any

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
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 of the single tax it is pure
speculation, and involves so many con-
siderations that in the absence of any
pressing question of it's 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 more evenly all around than can
be done in any other way. This is
hard doctrine for the farmer to accept
with his present notion that the ex-
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 thone
asking for the single tax on land as the
only method of compelling the dwellers
in the cities to bear their just share of
the burden of taxation"
