for many or ell purposes, contracting
certain state debts, locating county
seats, a general banking law, the herd
law and hedge law BY counties, and
many others,
The principle is fully recognized in our
governmental system. The difficulty 10
that the referring power mot the voting
power when they are referFed) is taken
out Of the hands Of the people. The
state constitution can only be referred in
whole or in part by two-thiEds OF those
elected to both branches Of the legisla-
ture, and only on years in which repre-.
sentRtives are voted for, and only three
propositions at once, while county mat
ters have to be ordered frBt by the lsgis-
lRture then usually by the county board.
Nothing can be gained but through
voting for men. Direct legislation is
meant to give the power (even IL it In not
ussd) to vote for measures directly. And
if We had been voting this fall Cor q
l3 per cent, reduction Of Failroad rates,
and the prevention of discrimination
therein; or on reducing the legal rate Of
interest; orBthe reduction of expenses or
salaries, or almost any one Of the de-
msnds OF our PIpulist state platform,
how different would have been the rS-
suit How different would have been
the campaign. Republicans, democrats
prohibitionists and Populists would have
voted side by side. Party lines under
such q system would soon fade AWsy,
and that spirit of party hatred which
bids fair TO oVershAdow our love for
country would give way to Q spirit Of In.
vestigstion OF laws, not persons. Intslli-
gent discussion would take the place Of
mud-slinginR. To provoke discussion we
would favor q conservative change. The
Anglo. Saxon does not want q Mexican
lzsd government. Let oil proposed lawB
or amendments to proposed laws or To-
cal measures within their own locality
be subject to be submitted to popular
vote on petition signed By say 20 per
cent Of the voters presented TO the SEQ
retsry Of state-R msjority vote at the
polls to make them laws absolutely.
Amendments to the constitution to DO
also so treated on presentation Of pSti-
tion signed by q larger per cent. so thRt
people could call in question the acts Of
their legislators.
The great and only objection is OK.
psnse OF publishing proposals Of law,
etc. But il printing rates were as low
ss they might be, say one half Of St

few times newspapers would copy

for nothing. Thi K of q session Of fifty

Oludlng others from the use Of land until
they agree TO his terms, aud that this pEivi-
leQe is entirely destroyed by charging him
the same rent for holding land idle that
others are charged for improving and US
ing it.
I have not overlooked this sssump-
ton, but have already answered it
by showing that. considering our
vast tenant population, the Uacant
land does not exist to accommodate
any percephble portion of that popu-
lation, If every foot of 1t were set
free. If you assume that it does, 1
will ask you to tell me where we are
TO find the requisite farming land
that is now unoccupied either by
resident owners or by tenants. I will
ask you to tell me also where the va"
cant lots are to be found in New
York, Chicago or any of our large
cities where even the business sDen
who are now renters could find ac-
oommodstion, not to mention the ten
ants Of what are called city homes,
who would be unable to provide
themselves with shelter If they had
any amount of free land. You must
be aware that they do not exist.
Speaking of driving the dog of mo-
nopoly from the msnger Of natural
opportunity, you say:
You admit these things should be done,
but you seem never to have omprehendsd
the principle Of the single -tax-the princi-
pie of perfect equality of all persons in the
right TO the use of the earth.
Pardon me again, my dear sir; l
think 1 understand the principle of
perfect equality of all parsons in the
right to use of the earth" What I
deny is that the principle of the sim
gle-tax is that principle. This is an
other instance of your failure to make
that nice discrimination as to what Is
the real issue between US that is nee
esssry to proper discussion Of it.
You quote my statement, that in
the application of the single-tsx to
Lord Sculley's land, aud thu increase
of rent upon the tenant that would
follow it, up to the point whore the
rent would absorb the entire pro-
cesds of the land you would not hurt
L ,rd Sculley very much, and you
think he would not agree with me.
You know very we'll that he would
never forfeit his land until it should
become a tax upon his reserve cspi-
tai, and that was the point made.
That point you entirely overlook in
your reply, and when you say that at
the abandonment of the land by Lord
Sculley the tenants would be left IN
possession of it, you overlook the
period of starvation that must pre-
cede that event Referring to my
suggestion of more direct route to
confscstion you say you think this
starvation route "direct enough and
equally just to Lord Sculley and all
other landlords" But the question
is, would it be just to the tenant} l

the burdens, not of tenants alone, but
of resident landowners at the same
time, even with the prospect OF a
pension ahead of them to be paid
from the money derived from their
own previous robbery? Your whole
system rests, in its final analysis,
upon the proposition to ultimately
confscste all lsnt 8, and repudiate all
obligations based upon mortgages,
trust deeds, tax titles, mining stocks,
real estate bonds, national, state and
municipal bonds, etc.; and this you
propose to accomplish by the in
direct and tedious process OF taxa
tion, and that too by a system OF
taxation that can only accomplish the
result sought by inAicting greater
hsrd4hips upon a class already over
bnrdened and oppressed. Have you
not the courage to declare your ulti-
mate purpose and go about it by q
more direct and q more humane
route?
You speak of this reputation OF
obligations, largely held abroad"
as "release of capital now in exist
enoe." You say much of this is not
real but Spurious" sad this would
be wiped out bV the single-tsx. l
take it that oil Investments in the se-
curities named would fare alike, and
l am unable to see where there would
be any release of capital" 40 in

NJws word resp Aotiug tru 't9 which
you think would have to succum0 to
a system of free trade You tel me:
Even ON the alleged RIOksfs Ter ROths-
child oil combine you have the hot eDd Of
the poker. What they combined on was
the division Of the R ls'isn oil lands, be-
cause each could work al exclusively owned
territory cheaper than small or is u Ssed
tracts. R)thschild is protected by che g r
man tariff against ROokefeller'S American
oil, and their only pool is on oil lsadS to
shut out free competition.
Now permit me to ask what differ
ence it makes what they pooled on
so long as by such pool they shut
out competition" and gain a monop-
oily of the trade? Are we to wait for
worldwide adoption of the single
tax before we can expect any relief
for the American people from the
curse of trusts?
But the following dispatch would
indicate that the effect of the COM
binstion is more far reaching than
you have thought it to be:
