applaud the journalistic achievement OF
the Associated Press in setting conf ct.

interview with Admiral Benham. But
for this, conflicting reports to the effect
that Admiral de Cana had surrendered
would probably have been current for

HENRY GEORGE INTERVIEWED.
Maguire's Direct Tax Bill Pisases Him q
Well AS Other People.

Maguiro's Direct Tax Bill Pleasos Him 81
Well AS Other People.
A New York dispatch says: Henry
George was interviewed yesterday in re.
gard TO Congressman Maguire's bill, in.
troduced In the house Saturday, "to
provide an increased revenue by direct
tax on the value of land in the United
States" The bill is in direct line with
Mr.. Georges land theories. The latter
said:
This bill is based on the lines of the
direct tax under the constitution as i'm
posed for it in 1898, again in 1913, and
finally in 1861, and differs materially
only in that whereas the tax was levied
on lands, dwelling houses and improve.
ments, and originally also on slaves, Ma
CURES bill strikes out everything except
the first item, land values, and it also
makes no deduction, as did the act OF
1861, upon a certain value, $500 to each
occupying owner"
What is the meaning Of the provision
as to mortgagor and mortgage ?" Mr..
George was asked.
1T is an attempt to prevent the tax
imposed from falling upon the mortgagor
exclusively and aims at treating the two
parties as they really are, as joint owners
in the property to be taxed. While
Judge Mcguire offers this bill without
any exemption, for the purpose of putting
clearly the single tax principle, some one
else, probably Tom l.. johnson, will
propose an amendment making an ex
emption similar to that of the income tax
bill. The exemption of improvements
will do away with the objection to the
direct tax, which bears with undue
weight upon the Western and Southern
states, where the estimates of wealth are
much less in proportion to property than
in the North and East, for where land
values alone are taxed the tax must fall
upon the owners of the land, whether
they are residents Of that state or OF the
Eastern states or of Europe. A great
proportion Of the land of the West and
South, az well as the greater portion of
the mortgages upon it, are held in the
East and in Europe. 1t will not take the
people OF the West and South long to see
that the constitutional and just measure
proposed by Judge Mcguire is really a
far better and more efficient way of put
ting the burden of taxation upon those
who are so rapidly coming to own the
country than any income tax that can
ever be devised"
Judge Msguire's bill is then purely a
single tax measure?" WAS suggested.
TT isl answered Mr.. George, en-
phatically, land it is the thin end Of the
WEDGE"

Dispatch is dated at Honolulu, January

Yesterday at $3.50 p. m. received
Hon. S. b. Dole's answer to my letter
of January /, requesting him at his
earliest convenience to give me the spec
ificstions conta ne ! III his prior letter. His
answer is about fifty pages of closely
written official paper and has been de-
livered too late either to copy or reply to
it in time for the steamer leaving at 2 D,
m. today. There is one extract, no q
ever, to which l think your attention
should be called, wherein it ia stated !:
This government has been and now is
subjected to the necessity of increased
watchfulneas and large additional ex-
pence which, but for such an attitude.
would have been unnecessary In q
previous letter of December q Minister
Dole had stated Government officers
have been placed and still continue to be
in a condition of defense and a prepare
ton for siege, and the community has
been put into a state of mind bordering
on terrorism Some portions OF the let
tiers from which these extracts are made
confirm the above statement, while
others seem to negative them. With
this explanation | submit them to your
consideration. The next steamer leaves
here February 3, which would place you
in possession of Dole's letter and my
purposed reply thereto about February
Is.
