The Single Tax.

Mr.. Louis f. Post, the great public
exponent of the the1ry, Land Value
is the True Basis of Public Revenue, -
has come and gone. \ representative
though not especially large audience OF
Twin City people greeted him at the
Opera House Monday evening and
listened to one of the clearest and
ablest expositions of the single tax
theory ever heard in our city.
Mr.. Post was introduced at o'clock
with few appropriate words by
Chairman E. II. LaVigne Though his
theory was comparatively new to the
majority present, he held the closest
attention for nearly two hours. He is
an easy, fluent speaker and by the use
of a series of colored charts made his
subject, and many fundamental princi-
pies OF Political Economy, PLAIN and
easy to understand BY this method
he carried his audience to the point of
climax without any perceptible effort
on their part.
Those who missed this lecture certain
ly lost treat on the subject of taxation
that they should regret. Though he
may not have made any converts for
the single tax, he certainly set those
present to thinking and this is his
special aim and desire. Mr.. Post wishes
TO arouse men from their usual in
difference that thev may become
curious as to the merits of the theory
he advocates and, once curious, a care
ful study of the question will enable
them 10 see the taxation cat" as he
humorously termed it. You can't
always see it all at first sight, he believes,
but if you are persistent in the search
part by part will appear until suddenly
it stands before you as whole, plain
and in perfect symmetry.
Perhaps no better advice could be
given to the tax payers of Wood county
than TO read at your leisure one Of the
widest circulated American books,
Henry Georges Progress and Poverty,
IN which will be found complete
explanation of this system of taxation.
At the close of the lecture Mr.. Post
carefully and fully answered several
questions asked from the audience. He
departed Tuesda Aorning for MInnea-
polls where he talks this week
Mr.. P ost was secured especially
through the efforts of J. \. Gaynor and
VIM. II. Luehr, and movement is on
foot by others to get DR.. Ely, Prof Of
Economics at the State University to
| come and talk to us on the opposite
side of the question. Every body has
been talking taxation since Monday
night and those who were not present
have been pressing those who did hear
the lecture with questions. If they will
all take the proper action in the matter
We believe Prof. Ely can be secured
He is one Of the leading economists of
to-day.

Ahead on Oats

Tie following letter received a short
time ago by Mr.. Daniel Rem, of the
Town of Rudolph, from the State
Board Of Worlds Fair Managers Of
Wisconsin, is self explanatory and one
we are pleased to publish:
Mr. Daniel Rezin:-You have secured
an award upon your exhibit of grain
made under the direction of this Board
and forming a part of the collective
Worlds Columbian Exposition.
The Bureau of Awards of the National
Commission are behind in their work
and it will take until June LIST, 1894 to
prepare the diplomas or med and
transmit them to exhibitors. " zen it
is known that something over 10000
awards have been promulgated the
labor incident to the preparation of
these diplomas and medals becomes
apparent. In the case of award winners
in the Agricultural Department, Cereals,
tobacco, honey, wool, butter, cheese
and other products,) the award will
consist of diploma containing the
name of the exhibitor, product ex-
hibited and the points of excellence
therein as shown by the report of the
Jury which examined the same.
Your exhibit has been preserved and
placed on exhibition in the rooms of
the State Agricultural Society at Madi-
son alongside the Wisconsin Agricultural
Exhibit made at the Centennial in 1876
and where ii will remain as illustrative
of the magnificent agricultural resources
of the State in the Columbian year
Respectfully,
w
Mr.. Rein SAYS he was very pleasantly
surprised when he received the above
letter as be had forgotten all about the
oats he had sent to the Fair They
were taken out of his bin by the
solicitors of Agricultural products be-
fore the Far and be paid little attention
to the matter. However, he was glad
to learn of the merit of his oats and
exhibited his letter to his neighbors
with deal Of just pride. Mr. Rein
certainly has some Of the best soil in
the country and is noted for the large
and profitable crops he produces He
is one Of our leading farmers and in this
case has won honor for himself and for
Wood County He says he could have
beaten his sample or 10 points if he
had selected them carefully They
were two year old oats and he has 100
or 800 bushel of the same kind still in
bis bin which he will sell for seed. We
extend congratulations and trust the
above merit will be a stimulus to him TO
increase the quality of bis oats these S
Or 10 points.

Quietly Welded.

The large circle of friends in the Twin
Cities Of Mr.. Ross Loveless, will be
surprised and pleased to learn of his
marriage to Miss Rosa Specha, of
Nekoosa, on Saturday evening last.
The union was made at the residence of
Mr.. j. Gibson in Centralia, Rev. VIM.
Kilburne officiating. Ross has always
been known as jolly ''smithy" aud for
good many years WAS employed as
blacksmith for j. T. Moore Last
summer he started in as the village
smithy at Nekoosa and here he found
his better half. A favorite with the
boys, good friend to all, with a care
less, rowing disposition that never kept
linn in one city more thana few months,
we wondered how Ross had made up
his mind to stick SO closely to Nekoosa.
Eureka We now understand. The
best wishes of the REPORTER are ex-
tended

Crab Gull Law Needed.

BUSH RIVER NECK, June 1.-THE weather
is very hot, too hot for wheat, and will have
a tendency to shorten the crop. The recent
heavy rains have been much against it and
now the hot sun will scald it in low lands and
ripen it too quickly, thus cutting the crop
short and producing grain of an inferior quail
ity.
Mr. Joseph uacile, on Kaintuck farm takes
the lead in crops here. He has 40 acres in
corn which hides the ground and is very
beautiful. His wheat, which is of the
Fultz variety, is as large and thick as ever
grew His hay field will average three tons
to the acre. Mr. Hackle is tenant for Mr.. S.
A. Williams, of Bel Air, and is good farmer.
Mr.. Williams is doing much toward improving
this property and will soon have model
farm 1t would make a first class stock farm
as it is large and well adapted to the growth
of Kentucky blue grass.
Our farmers are beginning to make move
towards working corn and tomatoes. The
incessant rains have retarded their operations
very much, thereby bringing hay harvest,
wheat harvest and other work on them at
once. Truly the harvest is great and the
laborers are few.
The Crisfield crab law is good thing, let it
cost bullets or bloodshed. Crabs need pro-
lection for the betterment of the hard shell
tribe. They are being greatly imposed upon.
A Gull law is needed for crabs as well as
oysters for they are caught and killed by the
thousand when not larger than Il half-dollar.
Fishermen catch them by the barrel full and
mash them up for bait for fish-pots and traps
A halt should be call on all this. a Gull law
should provide that crabs less than four inches
in length should not be caught, meas
ured from point to point of the upper
shell. law of this kind would save many
poor little crab from being killed through
mere wantonness. Your correspondent being
in the business has chance to see all these
things and protests against such bad treatment
of the crab. JIM SANK.
