Congressman Mcguire Prepares Bill to
Put Henry Georges Ideas Into Effect.

Congressman Mcguire Prepares Bill to
Put Henry Georges Ideas Into Eject.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Representa-
tive Mcguire of California has drawn
up with great care and study a bill
which would give effect to the single
tax theories and he will propose it at
the proper time as a substitute for the
income tax amendment to the Wilson
bill. 1t will propose to levy
direct tax of S62, 500, 25O upon
the value of all land exclu-
sive of improvements thereon, in
the states and territories. 1t provides
for collection by collectors and assess
ors for each state and territory to be
appointed by the president, or that
states shall collect the taxes them
selves and turn them over to the treas
urer of the United States, retaining
fifteen per cent of the proceeds. Mort
cages on real estate are to be treated
as an interest in the land, and the
tax on the proportion of value repre-
sented by the amount due from the
mortgage shall be primary charge
against mortgages and will constitute
a lien on the land, to satisfy which it
may be sold. In case the mortgage
fails to pay his proportion, the owner
is to pay it and be entitled to receive
credit for the amount of his mortgage.

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-John G. Car
Isle, secretary of the treasury, has
made public the following statement:
1T has been enormously published
in some newspapers that the commit
tee on the Judiciary of the house of
representatives had agreed to and re-
ported a resolution denying the au-
thority of the secretary of the treasury
to issue and sell bonds, as proposed in
the recent circular, and these publica-
tons have evidently made an unfavor-
able impression upon the minds of
some who contemplated making bids
for these securities. The only resolu-
ticn in relation to this subject that
has been before the committee is as
follows:
Resolved. That II is the sense OF the house
OF representatives, that the secretary has no
authority uuder existing law 10 issue and sell
bonds Of the United States except such as is
Conferred upon him by the act approved Jan
uary II, 1870 entitled AN act TO provide for
the resumption Of specie payments and that
the money derived from the sale OF bonds Is
sued under that act can not be lawfully APP
piled TO any purpose except those specified
therein.
1t will be seen this resolution as
sumed that the authority to issue
bonds was conferred upon the secre-
tary of the treasury by the act of jan
uary IA, 1875, and that such authority
still exists, but it asserts the proceeds
of the bonds can not be lawfully used
except for the purpose of resumption.
The official stenographic report of
the proceedings in the committee,
when the secretary appeared before
it last Thursday, shows that his au-
thority to issue bonds was not ques-
toned by any member, the only ques-
ton being whether he could use the
proceeds for any other purpose than
the redemption of United States
notes. Mr.. Bailey, the author of the
resolution, distinctly admitted the
existence of the authority. Ad'
dressing the secretary, Mr.. Bailey said
Inc IcSOluJlOu uOtS HUI IupCdCu
your right to issue bonds; it expressly
recognizes it, but questions your right
to apply the proceeds to any purpose
except those specified in the act"
The judiciary committee of the
house examined and reported upon
this same question during the Fifty.
second congress, and it then conceded
the authority existed under the act o.
1875. The question as to the authority
of the secretary to use the money il
any particular manner, or for any
particular purpose, is wholly distinct
from the question as to his authority
to issue and sell the bonds. No matter
what he may do with the money, the
validity of the bonds will not be
affected, and there is, therefore, NJ
reason why anyone should hesitate t.
invest in those securities on tn,
ground the proceeds might possibly b,
used for other than redemption
purposes.

is no tax on bread; it is no embargo
placed upon prosperity; it is no effort
20 prevent prosperity; it is no death
blow aimed at commerce, but it is an
effort to, in some way, require each
citizen to contribute to the govern
ment in proportion to what he has.
Now let us see some of the advant-
ages that will flow from it. To-day
there are great contentious and strifes
among our people, some feeling that
the others do not contribute their pro-
portional part of the support of the
government. Who would be discon-
tented of a system of government
which taxed only proportion of the
wealth that was possessed? But we
see around US such fortunes as were
never accumulated in one generation
or two before in the history of the
whole world.
Mr. Chairman, here we have the
most wonderful government that ever
rose, hourished or fell-"A govern
ment of the people, By the people and
for the people" We have at last dis
covered how to govern man and still
leave him free. This is best done by
protecting him in his life, liberty and
pursuit of happiness and leaving him
to work out his own salvation. ANY
laws that discriminate against one
class and favor another cannot long
stand. The spirit of justice which
animates our people will forbid this
1t should be the duty and the pleas
ure of every American citizen to see
that each other citizen has equal and
exact justice administered to him I'M
der the law, and that wealth,
not poverty, should be taxed. We
think that the enactment of this law
will insure that justice which has so
long been denied. We believe that by
it many who have heretofore not con-
tributed their proportional part of
taxes to the support of the govern
ment will be required to do so. Sir, il
l believed that this law did not tend
in that direction | would. have nv
lounge cleave to the roof of my mouth
and my right hand forget its cunning
before | would give my voice or my
vote to this measure. But, believing
as | do that its adoption will result in
a public benefaction, my whole heart
goes forth in its advocacy and l am
ready to stand or fall with the prin.
ciple of equity which it carries.

MRS. HAYES HUSBAND"
Justice Brewer Makes Not Compliment
airy Reference to the Ex-President.


airy Reference to the Ex-President.
Boston, Jan 3O.-It has just come
out that at the Yale alumni banquet
last Wednesday night, Justice Brewer
of the United States supreme court,
in the course of his speech after the
feast, said:
A psttifogger wi. do for replevin
for calf, but it takes S25, 900 lawyer
to be successful counsel for a great
railroad corporation. Even Mrs.
Hayes husband could make a re-
spectacle president in time of peace,
but it took Lincoln-gentle, great,
sad-to pilot the nation through the
majestic times and the horrors of the
civil war.
We want not only thorough scholar
ship, but Christian scholarship, for this
is Christian nation, not by force of
statute or constitution, but in the
hopes and purposes of the faith of
those who laid the foundation of our
national life and have wrought its
glorious history from Plymouth Rock
to the Sandwich islands. The incar-
nation of those purposes can come not
through the educational forces and in
situations which the state creates and
directs, but only in and through those
other educational institutions in which
by voluntary action the highest faith
of the individual can find place and
expression. Among such Christian
institutions all hearts turn with loving
trust to our alma mater
The portion of the speech referring
to MRS. Hayes husband" created con-
siderable comment. Before the ban
quet was over he went to the reporters
present and begged them to change
that sentence. 1t is the general belief
that no slnr at President Hayes as a
president was intended.

handing the ''coniiscation without
compensation" of all means of pro-
duction and distribution. 1t is to be
regretted that any body of representa-

of rising to a higher plane. Gompers
