THE MONEY QUESTION.

Why Have Not Potatoes as Much Right tc
a Fiat Value, Given by Coinage Laws, as
Gold Has?
Perhaps you never meditated on the
real nature of money. Perhaps you
never gave a serious thought of how
money came into existence, on what
authority it is made;why just the pres.
ent amount, no more or less, is desired,
can or cannot be; why gold is thought
the best thing to make it of; who gets
the first use of money; how they get it,
and thousand thoughts of a similar
character that will come to you, if you
ask them, and hold a gold piece in
your hand during the meditation. How
many questions can you ask and sat
isfactorily answer?
Can you answer to your satisfaction
what would be the difference, for good
or i'll, on society, the wealth that So
ciety holds, and the two operators, in
the following supposable cases?
First. Suppose man by the labor of
a month, las was done in California;
gathers up enough gold and has $780,
900 in money coined on it. with which
he buys that much goods, the labor of
many people for many years. That is
legal.
Second: Suppose a counterfeiter, by
the labor of a month, prints $780, 900 Of
money, exactly like the genuine, with
which he buys that much goods the
labor of many people for many years
That is illegal.
But if both moneys pass equally
we'll, doing the business, paying debts,
facilitating trade, in what way is the
public swindled by one that does not
apply to the other? Both have con-
tributed an equal amount of labor, the
counterfeiter the highest skill, but
neither have contributed any wealth.
nothing that would directly sustain
life if there were no goods for sale.
Why should the skill of one be legal
and another illegal, both having the
same effect on the people and their
goods? To what extent might either
be multiplied before the people would
be injured, or to what extent might
it be carried to their benefit? What
should control the volume of money,
and why? Is it better to have much
money and how much? Or little
money and how little? Why is money
plenty and again apparently scarce2
When are people most prosperous
with much money and much goods,
much money and little goods, much
goods and little money, or money and
no goods, or no money and much goods?
Does the amount of money have any
thing to do with the price of goods. and
if SO to what extent? Who profits by
little money. the debtor or creditor?
These and many other questions you
must know something about if you are
not made the dupes of those who do
know something of their principles.
But of course there is nothing in the
money problem 1t is all in the tariff.

they did not stop. The government
has assumed control of native lands,
opened them up, and will either lease,
rent, or sell outright to settler on
easy terms whatever ground he may
require, or if he have no money will
advance him a sufficient sum to make
his first payments and to begin his inn
provements The system of land ten
ure and taxation is a modified applica-
ton of the principles expounded by
Henry George. Most OF the ground is
leased in perpetuity or rented out by
the state at an annual rate varying
from to 5 per cent OF its cash value.
Land owned by individuals is taxed at
a low figure, providing it does not ex-
coed in value s25, 900. On all property
over that amount in value a special
graded tax is assessed, which increases
with the increase in size and
value of the estate, becoming
almost prchibitive when that value
gets beyond sl5O.0Oo. 1t is the
settled policy of the New Zealand gov
eminent to prevent the acquisition of
great tract of land by any individual
or corporation. If, however, any vic
tim of this policy thinks his taxes are
too high the state always stands ready
to purchase his property. Small hold
ers have scarcely any tax to pay on
their land and none whatever on inn
provements. The state also acts as
trustee, administers estates at the
actual cost of administration, and runs
free public employment bureau,
with branches in every town, where
the mutual requirements of employers
and employees all over the coloES may
be ascertained.
These are not all the social expert
ments which have been tried in New
Zealand. They are but few of many,
and all have thus far been attended
with most gratifying success. When
the recent financial panic devastated
the whole of Australia and the Austria
lasian colonies, extending in its effects
even to the Sandwich islands and Cali
fornia, New Zealand alone of them all
escaped the scourge. Her commerce
was not impaired, her banks remained
solid. her values were undisturbed.
Call it, then, advanced liberalism, state
socialism, what you like, the fact re-
mains that state activity and state per-
Torrance of many functions hitherto
left to individuals has proven an un-
qualified success in New Zealand. AND
if in New Zealand why not elsewhere?
Why not in America?-Chicago Times.

OHIO TAX MEASURES.

A Graduated Direct Inheritance Tax Pro-
posed.
The house committee on taxation is
showing its hand, and the present week
bids fair to see the final passage of two
or three bills of importance, and the
passage by the house of two or three
others Let us take them up in their
order
House bill No. us provides for a col
lateral inheritance tax of per cent on
all sums in excess of 500. This bill
been favorably reported to the senate
by the committee on taxation. 1t WILL
in all proba bility, be enacted into law.
House bill No 637 provides for a
graduated Inheritance tax as follows:
$50, 900 to $50, 900 1, per cent; $50. 900 to

HAPPY NEW ZEALAND.

Its Citizens Are All Their Own Fathers and
Administer Model Paternal Govern
ment.
The eyes of practical minded social
reformers have for the last two wears
been fixed upon New Zealand, that
modern little Australian colony where
advanced theories of sociology and po-
litical economy have been put to ex
perimental test In the current num-
Der of the Outlook, Mr.. A. C. Fraden-
burg outlines the course of these ex-
periments and sums up the results
achieved in the most important His
article is quite comprehensive and his
conclusions are of a nature to attract
the earnest attention of every think
ing man and to awaken enthusiasm in
the mind of the student who has at
tempted the solution of many existing
problems along the lines of state So
cialism, or new liberalism" as they
term it in New Zealand.
In New Zealand state activity has
resulted in the government assuming
many other functions besides that of
mere governing. The state controls
railroads, telegraphs, telephones, mails,
roads, irrigation, and other public
works which involve the management
of natural monopolies, and By reason
of its superior credit and resources has
been able. to precede and lead in
civilization with these instead of
following at conservative dis
lance, as is the case wherever
these industries are in private
hands Up to March of 1898 the gov
eminent of New Zealand had expended
EGG. O0o, 900, or $3.50, 200, 600, on railroads
and other public works under this
policy of clearing the way for civiliza-
ton and Immigration. Some of the
railroads it built, others built by pri-
vate parties it purchased. In 1872,
when the policy went into effect,
there were only sixty-five miles of rail-
road in the colony. Last year there
were 1.SS6 mics under government
control and $50 miles still owned and
operated by private corporations In

INITIATIVE OF FISH.
Suggestive Idea for Our Modern Sh
Builders.

Suggestive Idea for Our Modern Ship
Builders.
It would probably be found that
smooth surface of iron or steel is about
the worst which we can give to our
ships. For smooth metal surface has
apparently the property of attracting
and OBTAINING the particles of water in
contact with it. whether by molecular
attraction or otherwise. Thereby the
water in immediate contact with the
vessels side or bottom is drawn along
with her, and its particles communicate
their motion to an outer circle of parti-
cles, and so on till vast mass of water
is set constantly in motion along with
the ship.
This is precisely what we want to
avoid, as the essence of the reduction
of fluid friction is to slip easily through
the water with the least possible dis
turbance. Herein lies, as 1 imagine,
the great advantage of the surface
structure of the fish. 1t would proba-
bly, be found by experiment that an ex-
act model of a fish in any ordinary ma
terial, as wood, iron, steel, etc, when
towed through the water at a given
rate, would Communicate motion to a
straw or light floating object lying
near its course, to "a greater extent than
would the real fish passing through the
water at the same speed Experiment
on this point would be easy, and would
be as valuable and suggestive when
applied to different materials and sur
faces as the former suggested expert
