OF New York, In the Opera House on
8, on Single Tax This
does not mean that all single people
are to be taxed q good deal higher
than married people. 1t means that
real estate IL to pay all the taxes and
to pay equal taxes. There Ia SO, much
real estate now whlchis held for specu-
lative purposes only and hardly any
tax at all paid thereon.
A case 10 cited here where lot on
Delaware street was valued at $500.
The lot was divided into three lots
and sold. and then before any build
ings were erected thereon each lot was
valued at $500. Just treble what 1t
was before IL was sold. One OF the
parties placed q neat and comfortable
home thereon and now pays $3.50 a
year taxes. The man who sold the

30 much has been said and written
about the great games OF football
here this season that IL Is not out OF
place to give description Of q game
as Viewed by an old time football
player. There are eleven mon on each
side. Their pants are padded and
they all wear long hair. Each eide
lines up and at the word OF command
they make rush and try to breal
ranks.
This being over, they all Rathel
around and the centre places his hand
on the ball and the captain sings out
say II. 9. 63. 81. 100. play ball, Centr'
then rolls it through his let's to tn,
quarter and he throws 1t to the half
lack. then the other side tackles hin
to gain the bali and down he goe
with the entire team upon him. TIL
IDEA is to hit your opponent In the
nose with your elbow or to punch hin
good one In tho eye.
The last man jumps on top ant
swings his feet so he hits one man II
the neck and another In the ribs.
Several players are ruined for lii
while playing football. This fun Il
repeated until the line Is crossed. ant
then 1t is called a touchdown. TheI
one player lies down. holds the bal
between his two thumbs, and anothe
player tries to kick 1t over a rop
stretched from two poles about twelvi
feet high. This Is football to-day. bu
IL 10 not the football our fathers play
ed, and l for one will not tackle 1t.
