USIoxEowsI Pa, June IO,--Troublc
las broken out again In thS southern
cud OF tho coke region and az result
OF battle this morning between dopu.
ties and strikers, ono striker is dead,
two are fatally wounded and another
badly hurt, besides many wounded who
were taken away by thoir comrades and
concealed. Tho number Of wounded
may mover be known. At letfst ono
hundred shots were ired In thcNbattle,
bnt fortunately for the deputies tho
strikers were poor marksmen and none
OF the officers were hurt except by be-
lug hit by stones hurled by tho ,infuri-
a.ed mob.
Tho cause OF this outbreak Is about as
follows,
Yesterday evening four men who
have boon working in one OF the Frick
plants came out TO 90 to their homes at
LeisenriDg. When they LETT the train
q mob of strikers gathered about and
assaulted th0m, beating them unmerci-
fully, and afterwards placing "back.
leg" placards on their backs. drove
them like cattle through that section OF
the region exhibiting them. as q horri.
bic example OF wha. others might cx.
pcct.
Deputies were soon on the track OF
the mob, but were misled and did not
come up with them until this morning,
when Lamont was reached. Hundreds
OF strikers had gathered, il is supposed,
with the prianners in their midst.
When the deputies were discovered
they were surrounded and fred upon
by the mob and driven 10 the extreme
end Of the company's property, where 4
stand was made and tho crowd drew
back. leaving the dead man and
the two fatally wounded on the ground.
The two wounded men will die before
morning. L2le tonight the dead man
is still lying where ho fell. Deputies
armed with search warrants have been
going through oil the houses in the
vicinity but have failed 10 fiud the four
men who were the strikers, prisoners
and 1t is feared they have been muir
dered for revenge. Twelve arrests have
been made and at least 200 more will
follow.

GOVERNMENT INVASION OF PRIVATE
RIGHTS,

Elsewhere in this issue will be
found a letter from the secretary Of
the Kswesh cooperative colony in
California rsciting the method by
which the members Of the colony have
been robbed by special act Of con-
gress, OF their lands aud of everything
they possessed. Acting in good faith
these people entered homestead
claims to a portion of the public do
main that had been regularly opened
for settlement under the homestead
laws. Their claims we're recognized
and their filings entered in regular
form IN the United States land Office,
and they proceeded in good faith to

not be taken for granted from their
mere statement. They must be sus-
ceptlble of satisfactory demonstra-
tion or they are worthless. Let us
have the demonstration.
The sixth paragraph says:
The single. tax we propose Is not tax on
land, and therefore would mot fall on the
use Of land and become tax on labor.
II may be said Of this as Of the
third paragraph: It matters not
whether the single.tsx is q tax on
land or not. The land can not pay
it. It can only be paid by the ap-
plicstion of labor to land, and must
be paid from the product Of that
labor. How then can 1t be otherwise
than q tax on labor? It dsvolves
upon the single-tsxer to show thus.
The mere assertion of it is not &C..
cepted. It is said that the tax
would not fall on the use Of land"
Land ont Of use could never be made
to pay a penny Of tax. 1t is only by
use that taxes can, by any possibility,
be obtained from land values.
The following is the seventh para
graph:
II is q tax, mot on land, but on the value
of land. Thus it would not fall on all land
but only on valuable land, and on that not
in proportion 10 the use made Of il, but in
proportion to its Vslue--the premium which
the user Of land must pay 20 the owner,
either in purchase money or rent, for per.
mission TO use valuable land, II would
thus bs a tax, not on the use and improve
menb Of land, but on the ownership Of land,
taking what would otherwise 60 TO the
owner as owner, and not as user.
This seems to us a strange mixture
of incongruities and sbsurdities.
The tax "would not fall on all land,
but only on valuable land, and on
that not in proportion to the use
made Of it, but in proportion to its
value" What IS it that gives value
to land if not use? OF course the
use to which 1T may be converted de.
pends upon its location together with
other things; aud if this be true then
the converse of the single.tax theory
is true, that it is valuable in proper
tion to the use that may be made ol
il. Therefore the tax being proper.
tional according to the value Of the
land must necessarily be a tax upor
the use of land, and must be paid BY
the occupant for such use out Of the
product of his labor. In all cases
the tax stands against the individual
and he must pay it or surrender the
use Of the land. We present objec.
tions to the single.tax platform as
introductory to a further discussion
of it in subsequent issues Of the AD
vooATE and hope they will be met il
detail as presented.
The advocate., 1894-11-14

products. They can be paid IN no
other way. (3) The plank is there
fore inconsistent in declaring that
''each man is entitled to oil that his
labor produces" inasmuch as he can
not be permitted to retain it all, but
must contribute q portion for taxes.
The fourth and fifth paragraphs
are as follows:
To carry out these principles we are In
favor Of raising all public revenues for ma
tionsl, state, county and municipal pur-
poses by q singls-ta1 upon land values,
irrespective Of improvements, and Of the
abolition Of all forms Of direct and indireo
taxation.
Since in all our states we now levy some
tax on the value Of land, the single.taX can
30 instituted by the simple and easy way Of
abolishlng, one after another, all other
taxes now levied, and OommenSuratsly in
CEeasing the tax on land values, until we
draw upon that one source for all expenses
Of government, the revenue being divided
between local governments, state govern.
menhS and the general government, as the
revenue from direct taxes is now divided
between the local and state governments;
OK direct assessment being made By the
general government upon the states and
paid by them from the revenues collected
in this manner.
The fourth paragraph is simply
deOlaratory of the proposed method
of taxation. The fifth prescribes the
method Of transition from the pres
ent to the proposed system. Respect
ing these paragraphs il may be OBJ
served: Under whatever term or title,
or upon whatever theory taxes may
be levied, they are paid by indiVid-
usls; and, if levied upon land values
only they must be paid only by the
ouvners Of land. Granting, now, for
the sake of the argument, that this
would have the precise effect which
the single-taxer claims it would
(which is still a matter Of doubt) and
that it would put an end to the hold
ing of land out of use for speculative
purposes, what then? We would be
glad to have our single.tax friends
undertake to show at this point just
how they would propose to effect
just and equitable distribution o.
the burden OF taxation under thiI
system upon all who are presumed
to enjoy the blessings OF being gov
erned. Understand, now, that VI
are not approving Of the presen
system of taxation and offer no apol
ogies for it. The single.taxer is pro
posing a netO system which is pre-
sumed to remedy the injustice done
under the existing one. Will he tel
, us how this will be accomplished
Justice would seem to require j
government is a blessing to the gov
erned, to be sustained by taxation
that its burdens should fall upol
every beneficiary in proportion to tn
privileges he enjoys. Every citizen
in whatever holdings he is protected
} should be required to contribute il
proportion to the degree and extsn
Of his protection and his holdings
