between French and Italian working.
men in Aigues-M ortes: AT least 80 were
killed and $50 wounded in the fight.
The French, numbering 500, carried
every kind Of weapons from pickaxes
and bludgeons to firearms. There were
frightful hand-to hand fights in the
streets. Afterwards 500 Italians barri-
caded themselves on o farm. They were
besieged forthwith by the French, and
. regular battle followed. Whenever
an Italian escaped he was hunted like q
rat to his death.
The fight had its origin in a dispute
regarding wages. The Italians were
working at the salt works for wages
lower than those demanded by and paid
to the Frenchmen employed. The lat
ter feared that it would be only q ques-
ton OF time when they would be re-
placed by Italians, and much bad feel
ing was engendered by the two nation
alities. Thursday some of the men,
Frenchmen and Italians, became In
volved in a fight over the wage ques-
ton, and a riot was precipitated by the
action of the salt workers, who hast
ened to the assistance of their respective
countrymen.

sembly, reduced its appropriation FOR his
maintenance this year from 1886 900 kro-
ner to 256, 900 solely to show its d~issatis-
faction.
The situation is peculiar. Under the
articles of union between Sweden and
Norway which the latter country was
forced to accept in 1914 her independence
was guaranteed and she was to have her
own representatives abroad and the
right to conclude treaties with foreign
nations. These rights have been tacitly
abrogated by Sweden, and it is upon the
demand for their re-establishment that
the bitter agitation of the past two years
in the Norwegian parliament has been
based. King Oscar of course refused
to approve the resolution for the APP
pointment of separate Norwegian con-
suls. Had he done otherwise his seat
upon the Swedish throne would have
been imperiled. Then the storthing re-
fused supplies for the consular service
as at present conducted and reduced the
royal appropriation a. above stated.
The king finds it noeasy task to satisfy
the desires Of the people Of his two king
doms, for their interests are not only
different, but somewhat ~antagonistic.
Norway is q land Of poor soil, and her
people are a seafaring and trading race
and in favor Of free trade. Sweden il an
agricultural and Industrial country, and
the Swedes are protectionists. Each
nation has it's wv parliament, and the
king has to pass upon much diverse and
sometimes contrary Legislation. He il in

CHARLES w. GINGMAN. directors from
closing jackson park on Sunday was
granted to him as a private citizen and
taxpayer of Chicago.
The history of the case is peculiar.
The injunction, for violating which sew
eral of the prominent directors and 9TH
er exposition officials were lined 81, 900
each, was obtained with their knowledge
and consent when they resolved to open
the fair on Sunday and was intended to
head off a counter injunction by those
opposed to Sunday opening. When the
directors found that Sunday opening
did not pay, they ordered the fair closed
on that day, ignoring the fact that the
injunction was still in force. In this
consisted the contempt of court for
which Judge Stein fined them. and the
fact that they were men of the highest
standing and intelligence in the COM
munity had weight with the court as
adding to the aggravation of their of
Tense and the necessity for exemplary
punishment. AS the appeal which was
at once taken cannot be heard before
October, 1t is probable the fair will be
open IN Sundays during the remainder
of its existence.
Mr.. Clingman, WHO'S mainly RESPONSE
BILE for this state of affairs, is a CONNER
cial traveller who is very well known on
the Pacific coast and in Indiana and Illi-
nois. He is a native of Chicago and
about 43 years of age. He was for 90
years a member of the First Presbyterian
church in Chicago, and during that time
was a member of the Bible class and
librarian of the Sunday school.

Mr.. Field said: The single tax scheme
is, that the state should tax the soil,
and the soil only; that in doing SO it
should consiaer the soil as it came from
the hands of the Creator, without any
thing that man has put upon it; that
all other property-in short, everything
that man has made-is to be acquired,
enjoyed and transmitted as at present;
that the rate of annual taxation should
equal the rate Of annual rental, and
that the proceeds of the tax should be
applied, not only to purposes of gov
eminent but to any other purposes
that the legislature from time to time
may think desirable, even to dividing
them among the people at SO much a
head.

What the Plain Man Got For His
Taxes.

A plain man used to go every year to
pay sum of money to a collector. At
last he asked the collector: ''Why do
pay the money! ~
"Uh," replied the collector. shat is
taxes, every body pays that" SO the
plain man was satisfied.
When the next bill came he asked
again: ''For what do pay these taxes
that everybody pays?"
'Oh," said the collector, because it
is needed by the government" But in
little while he asked again:
''What does the government do with
my money that pay, because every
body pays it, because the government
needs it?"
'Oh," says the collector, "the gov
eminent makes roads,
So the plain man was satisfied But
after while he came back.
''See here, said he. 81 worked on the
road for my road tax" -
WELL" says the collector, '.there's
water works. 7
I'VE haven't any water works down

"Ain't there boards of health?" says
the collector.
There is no board of health in our

But police?' ft
"There is no police neither, at least
none that is as good as my old gun"
oh" says the collector, anyway
the government has to keep the rail-
roads"
But the railroad charges me sepa-
rate, too" says the plain man.
Then there is post Offices and light
houses, and harbor defens IS, and the
bureau of agriculture and the army.
Nov, see here" says the plain man,
''the post Office charges for its stamps,
and there amt any lighthouse on
any farm, nor harbor, besides that
the tariff pays for all all those things.

But after thinking it over he came
back again. ''See here, said he, "what

collector, ''they collect the taxes and

the taxes, were they levied solely on
real estate.
I'LL agree with you in your iesti-.
mate as to the benefits derived from
forests, and would only tax them on
their present value. If, as you say,
the land has no value apart from tie
labor and capital expended on it, wood
lots would, under our system, be NH
taxed.
IV.-The result of taxing mortgages
would be to injure, instead of helping
the farmer. mortgage is simply an
evidence that the farmer has found
some one willing to assist him by a
loan of capital There IS no change in
the ownership of the farm. If the
mortgage was taxed, the borrower
would have to pay higher interest,
or suffer for lack of the loan.
We sympathize with the mort
gage-ridden farmer, made SO very often
by the operation of unjust laws and
monopolies, but he is greatly mistaken
in supposing that he can gain relief by
shifting his taxes to the leaders of capi-
| tai. AS all taxes on goods are ultimate
| ly paid by the consumer, SO all taxes on
personal property are finally paid by
the user.
Free capital from taxation and its
amount would be rapidly increased;
interest would fall and the entire COM
munity share in the benefits of greater
wealth. Tax capital and you discour.
