"Unearned Increment"

A piece of property was sold in this
city on a prominent corner for $4,000
front foot. 1t was owned, as many
other valuable corners are owned, by a
gentleman who does not live here, who
does nothing to build it up or advance
its progress. Other people who come
here, live here and share the failures
of the city, have built around it and in
creased its value, enriching an alien
landlord who, having no use for the
property himself would not permit 9TH
ers to use it unless they had paid him
an exorbitant rent, and who would
not permit the users to own it until
they had paid him an exorbitant price.
This gentleman was enabled to hold
this property because he escaped taxa
ton. While he demanded 900 for
the property, he had it valued on the
tax books at s43, 900, thus giving him
81, 900 worth of untaxed property that
he held without a penny's expense until
people were forced to come to his terms.
This is not right. There is somebody or
some system at fault. The poor man who
owns a little home worth 81, 500, and on
Which, iiC O"CS PCIhdPS ccoVs 10 toACu W
the full measure of his wealth. There
is no escape for him. The rich man
who owns dollars where the poor man
owns cents, is exempt. 1t may be stat
ed that there is not q small house in the
city that is valued at $4,000 that could
be sold for its assessed value. Yet here is
one piece of property valued at $1,000
more than it was assessed for, and upon
which its owner enjoyed immunity from
taxation for that amount. Verify there
is something wrong. The single tax or
some other method will have to be
adopted before long in the cities.
The high price of Memphis realty has
been a great drawback to the city.
Owners who do not use the land are
able to hold it and prevent others from
using it. Manufacturers seeking loca-.
tons are met on the threshold of their
investigation with exorbitant prices
for land, and many are scared away.
The sum of $4,000 front foot is price
that few are able to pay. and the less
these prices are exploited the better for
the city. No one can be blamed for get
ting all he can for his property when
he consents to sell, but the system that
permits one man to become wealthy
through no efforts of his own and as q
result of other peoples efforts should
not exist-Memphis (Tenn-) Public

hour before dusk he met old Mixer and
Dyer half mile behind him. and Dyer
was still alone. Here was a little in
our favor, and I saw that the jury were
getting interested. Then called Judge
Grove. The Judge on the bench looked
up in surprise, for this was the most
eminent Judge in the state. He testified
that he lived in Farnham, and had
known Clinton Dyer all his life. He had
often worked in his garden. He had
always been a boy of irreproachable
character. He was rather noted in
Farnham for his honesty and good hab-
its. In fact, he could not name a resi-
dent of Farnham, old or young, who
enjoyed better character.
The fervor with which the good old
Judge expressed himself surprised and
pleased me, and l saw that the judge
on the bench had ceased to smile. The
other five witnesses were quite as good
in their way. As l called them, one
after another, clergyman, Congressman,
merchant aud miller, the jury began to
catch the spirit Of my defense, and l
saw more than one kind look sent
from the jury box to my client After
these witnesses had finished, venture
to say there were not twenty five men
in that courthouse who could have
made out SO good a character, by such
good witnesses as this boy had done.

Hiram Walker & Sons, of Canada,
Get an Injunction Against a Chi
cago House.
A case recently heard before Judge
Gresham, of the United States circuit
count for the First district of Michigan,
goes to show that persons who use whis-
ky must be on the alert if they would
escape being imposed upon.
The plaintiffs are Hiram Walker &
Sons, Limited, of Walkerville, Canaoa,
diStillerS and bottlerS of whisky known
as Canadian Club" Under the Cana
dian excise regulations whisky may re-
main ih bond indefinitely, and the dis
tiller may, if he so wishes, bottle it while
still i'll the custody of the government
certificate of the age and genuineness
of the liquor in the form Of an official
stamp over the cork of each bottle.
This guarantee is naturally very much
priced by the distillers who have the old
whisky to secure it, and all whisky bot
tied by the Walkerville establishment
is so guaranteed.
A Chicago firm have put up spirit
which they call Montreal Club,n al
legged to be made by the montreal Dis
tilling Co.." which was shown to have
no existence. In all but name, the
Walker labels were closely initiated, as
was also the official stamp of the Cana
dian excise. The proceedings were
rendered somewhat novel by the ap-
pearance of Mr.. z. A Lash, @. c., of
Toronto, on behalf of the Dominion
government. to support the application
of the plaintiffs to restrain defendants
from further use of the counterfeit Ger
tificate. The defendants were promptly
enjoined from continuing TO infringe
upon plaintiffs trademark or labels, or
to copy the Dominion excise stamp.
A significant feature of the case was
the production by the defendants of
affidavits by several liquor dealers of
Chicago, who could hardly be ignorant
of the character of the goods in ques-
ton.
1t would appear that the consumer
must depend upon his own care and
judgment for immunity from such at
tempts to defraud. -Bonfort's Wine and
