approved. The architects are now elab-
Grating them into working plans, and
the chief of construction is drawing up
the specifications for them all, and will
call very soon for contractors estimates.
Director Jeffrey, who spent two months
in studying the buildings at the Paris
Exposition, says:
"rhe buildings at the Chicago EXPOSE
ton will be as much superior to those at
Paris as the latter were superior to those
at the Philadelphia Centennial. There
can be no question that the effect at
jackson Park will astonish the world.
We will have the grandest buildings
ever dedicated to exposition purposes.
Just as soon as the ground plans of the
buildings can be completed work upon
the foundations Of the several structures
will be pushed rapidly.
A rough estimate of the cost of the
chief buildings, ETC., planned by the con-
struction department, together with the
number of acres they will cover, will be
found interesting. Some estimates make
tho total cost more than $40, OOO, 900.

lPaper Wheels.

Persons who have never had any
business with railroad except to ride
on its cars occasionally have an idea
that paper car wheels are entirely
made of that substance. This is a
mistaken idea, as the only portion
made Of paper is the inside or filling
of the wheel. This paper is held in
place by steel plates, which are bolted
together through the paper. The tire
is then put on and the wheel is fin
ished. OF course there is good deal
of work included in the making, but
this is the sum and substance of a
paper wheel.
There are several sizes of paper
wheels made, for instance, 42-inch
wheels, 33-inch, 30-inch, 2s-inch and
26-inch. The last two sizes are loco
motive truck wheels. Some roads use
paper wheels exclusively under their
passenger equipment and cast iron ones
under the freight equipment. These

Ralph e. Hoyt on Henry George.

=. closing the last lecture of the
course delivered by Ralph E. Hoyt in
San Francisco recently, under the au-
spices of the single tax society of that
city, the speaker paid a deserved COM
pliment to Henry George, which the
audience greeted with tremendous APP
plause. Mr.. Hoyt said:
AS this city was for many years the
home of Henry George, and the scene
of his early labors for reform, am un-
willing to let this occasion pass without
saying few words about the great
leader of the single tax movement. The
noblest hero of the age is not he who
leads armies into battle and drenches
the earth with blood; but he who, with
heart and brain, with tongue and pen,
bravely fights the battles Of the people
against unjust laws and popular iniqui-
ties. Such a hero is Henry George. He
does not claim to have originated the
single tax theory. 1t originated with
the human falnily-as long ago as the
revolving world. But Henry George
has done far more than any other man
to develop, to push forward to popular
ize the God-given idea that the land
belongs to the people, for their use, and
therefore should not be monopoiized
In all his labors and struggles for hui
manity, this principle has been his in
spiration. A few years ago he was
called a dreamer, crank, then an
anarchist. But later on these epithets.
gave way for such terms as agitator,
economist, prophet and philosopher.
To-day the most intellectual and in
fuential men Of America Europe and
Australia are proud to meet him and
glad to hear him talk. With a pure
character, clear head and an honest
heart, he has steadfastly advocated the
grand idea of free land for all, until to-
day it's reiterations are heard through
out the civilized world.
Let us who grasp this idea cleave to
it and battle for it. under the banner
erected by Henry George; never ceas-
ing our efforts till the victory is won, or
till he and we have graduated from this
primary department of life's amending
school, into the broader realms and
clearer light of an eternal day.

A Warming to Dog Owners.

Possessors of canine pets will do

Gently reported observations Of Prof
Nothnagel. These go to prove that
the development of cysticerci in
the human subject is in some cases to
be attributed to contact with the saliva
of lap-dogs which have been allowed to
lick the faces and mouths of their own
ers. The explanation is feasible one,
and adds noteworthy contribution to
our knowledge of morbid etiology.
The tsenia echinococcus. as is we'll
known, inhabits the small intestine of
the dog, and it is highly probable that
the ova occasionally find their way into
the animals mouth; for example, in

these items there Is violence done to
that general conviction on which taxa-
ton is accepted, that citizens ought to
support the state according to ability;
and it shocks the public conscience to
think of wealth, which avoids taxation,
being guarded by the state, which inn
prisons thieves who may take it and
shoots down rioters who may menance
it. The result of the matter itemized
is that the toilers Of the community
bear the burden of taxation. The bro
portion falling upon each and every one
of them is far beyond his just share.
He is taxed for the spot OF land on
which he stands, eats or sleeps, for the
food he eats, for the water he tlrinks,
for the clothes he wears. for the fuel he
burns; and the taxes on his standing up
or lying down, on his eating, drinking
and warming, are greater than on the
necessities of other men, he is taxed
most heavily for the right to live and
the opportunity to work. The present
system of taxation being hard on the
poor who must pay more than their
equitable share, easy on the rich when
they pay what the laws demand, and
easier still for them when they evade
payment of tax, righteousness demands
that the system be amended into
just one if it be possible; or, if that
be impossible, that it be swept away
and we begin anew. The right Of the
state to tax any thing, any business,
any privilege, being conceded does not
mean that the state has the right to be
unjust in doing this. We are studying
ethics-what is right and what is wrong
and those who raise q moral objection
to the single tax are surely unwilling
that the state shall do wrong.
Single tax men propose that the state
shall exercise it's right of taxation on a
value which no one man can make or
give, but which men together give, a
value which the state or society gives
to that which God made for the use of
this society, and that every one shall be
taxed on this value according to his use
or possession of it. AS soon as any one
sees what this means, what It is, he
perceives in it a self-acting law which
would bear righteously, with equal and
exact justice on every one, coming as
near to absolute justice as we can il,
this world.

Hundreds of workmen have tloclled to
Chicago expecting to obtain work on the
Worlds Fair buildings, and the number
is being increased daily. These swell
the number of unemployed already in
the city to several thousand. There is
not enough Exposition work yet for a
quarter of the number seeking en- ploy-
ment. and it will be three Or four months
before any great addition to the working
force will be made. 1t follows, of course,
that workmen will make mistake if
they come to Chicago now seeking work.
unless they have the means of maintain
ing themselves at least for several
months.
An abundant supply of pure water
from Lake Michigan for the Exposition
grounds and buildings is to be provided
by an extension of the Chicago Water
Works system. The Exposition Com
pany will construct pumping station at
Jackson Park with a capacity of 24,OOO.-
900 gallons daily. The city has agreed
to take the plant as soon as the EXPOSE
ton is over, and to refund its cost
about 5000, OO0-to the Exposition Com
pany
The abandonment of the Lake Front
Park as a part of the Exposition site has
simplified matters considerably. A few,
living at distance from Chicago and
not understanding the situation, have
concluded that discarding the Lake
Front necessitated finding a new loca-
ton for the Exposition. Such is far
from being the case, and the impression
ought to be corrected wherever it exists.
The Lake Front Park embraces less
than fifty acres, and was at first intend
ed as sort of downtown side show tc
the main Exposition. 1t was proposed
to locate there only few exhibits which
| would prove specially attractive in the
evening jackson and Washington parks
and Midway Plaisance connecting then
embrace more than 1000 acres, anc
Jackson Park has frontage of two
miles on Lake Michigan. The whole
constitutes the finest site an exposition
ever had. Here the entire Exposition
will be held. From the start there wa!
great opposition to dual site and to one
portion Of the Exposition being severa
miles from the other Now general sat
isfaction is expressed that the whole o.
it will be in one place.

paper wheels are made by Chicago

made in Europe and in this country
also.
The weight of 42-inch paper wheel
is 1. $50 pounds, and on axle $50 pounds,
SO that the weight of pair mounted
on an axle is 1850 pounds. There are
two pairs in each truck and two trucks
under car, so that the combined
weight of the wheels and axles placed
under each car is 10000 pounds. The
value of pair of 42-inch paper wheels
is in the neighborhood of $3.50, the tire
alone being valued at about $50. The
wheel center is worth about $17 itself.

And Dom Pedro himself, among the

to see his empire turned into repub-

during his exile desperate attempt to

For Once the Press is Right

The New York Press refers to the in
cident recently commented upon in the
Standard, in which a man named San
ford, after he could no longer escape
paying a fair tax on a vacant lot IN New
Haven, proceeded to erect fine build
ing on it, because he could no longer
afford to let it lie idle and pay taxes
upon it. The Press commends this in
cident to the consideration of the
New York tax department and
urges it to adopt the plan of
the Bridgeport assessors. 1t says:
'There is utter disproportion between
the listed values of unimproved and inn
proved property on Manhattan Island,
to the disadvantage of the owners of
that which is improved. The owners of
the unimproved property are largely
spectators, while the owners of inn
proved property are investors and pay
double because of the evasion of the
others.''
The value of land does not express
the reward of production, as does the
the value of crops, of cattle, OF build
ings, or any of the things which are
styled personal property and improve
ments. 1t expresses the exchange value
of monopoly. 1t is not in any case the
creation of the individual who owns the
land; it is created by the growth of the
community.-Progress and Poverty.
THE farmer is apt to cry out against
what he calls the injustice of exempt
ing the magnificent buildings, some
times erected in cities, from all taxa
ton, forgetting that such buildings al
ways stand upon the most expensive
land, while his own farm house and
barns stand upon land of utterly insig-
nificant value.

labor can increase general wages, SO
long as rent swallows up all the gain
