HIT is true that land alone can not
pay taxea Taxes are paid out Of the
products which labor, assisted BY capt.
tai Tor personal property obtain from
land. Your statement in regard 70 the
real value OF farm lands is no doubt
correct. but has no bearing on the ques-
ton OF taxation. We do not impose
taxation on land which, ''neither causes.
nor can pay taxes, but upon the owner
Of land, who gets the benefit Of schools,
roads and all other purposes for which
taxes are expended. We certainly
have no intention Of increasing the
farmers tax burdenA Your error on
this subject Is that Of many writers
from the farmers standpoint, who think
that because the farmers own the great
er part of the area Of land, they there
fore own the largest proportion Of IT.
value. You need only turn to the NJ
sessed valuation of your own county,
to see how very Tar astray such IN idea
is, for the value Of farm lands II not
more than one-tenth Of that Of city,
town and village real estate So that
the farmers would pay only one-tenthof
the taxes, were they levied solely On
real estate.
I'LL agree with ron In your esti.
mate a. TO tho benefits derived from
forests, and would only tax them on
their present value. II, N ron say,

Purcell, and was promptly knocked

The paper then goes on to defend
Purcell's action. The Tribuns's de-
scription of the fracas exactly fits the
Davis-Thaxter row, only the remark
made by Thaxter was ten times more
filthy and insulting, and son re-
sented an effront eratuitodsly offered
to his aged parents.

Chicago Tradesmen Getting Down
to Business.

The timely expose of the press in
which the Chicago press led, has
opened the eyes of the shortsighted
people in Chicago who thought they
had the earth by the hair.
They find their extortions were
driving people away and SO they have
reduced rates to decent figures. A
San Francisco man who has just re-
turned from the Worlds Fair thus
talks to the Daily Report.
Half million people, in addition
to the permanent residents can be
housed during the fair, said citizen
who visited the exposition last week,
and the rates are not extortionate.

old-estal lished hotel and paid 81 a

period of the fair is Chicago likely to
be overcrowded, although the early
fall will see the greatest number of
visitors.
Restaurant service is also mod
crate. Here is the bill of fare from
two cafes in the exposition grounds.
One can get the best quality of roast
beef or veal for 40 cents and this por>
ton is ample for two persons. Half
a spring chicken costs 60 cents and
these are all fresh, not canned or
graduated from a factory.
''Good tea or coffee cost 10 cents and
