Judge Dillon said he was the first
president of the first single tax club OF
Denver that the present taxation sys-
tenn was q fraud that the farmer pays
so per cent OF all personal property
taxes. On the first OF March when the
assessor calls how poor the capitalist Is !
We must have q better tax. Surely we

scientific tax in the single tax.
Mr.. Pomeroy said that taxation
should be equal-tax on land values is
q tax OH labor.
Mr.. Rider said that he was in for
anything for improvement"
Mr.. Gushing said single takers do not
propose to punish men for being
millionaires. We want all the wealth
we can have, therefore would not tax
anyone for building houses, railroads,
etc.
We propose to make men pay for
holding land out of use which other
people need. Land cannot be rolled up
on the first OF March to escape taxation.
We do not propose to take Kern county
from it's present two or three owners,
but we would make them pay us for the
privilege of owning one county.
A. G.. Hinckley believes that under
the single tax land would be monopo-

He believes land belongs to all the peo-
Pile and that the amount of land one
could hold should be limited.
Mr.. Miller in answer to the question
of Justice of the single tax raised said
that as long as the public had the
land to draw its revenue from, land
value being fund made by the public
it naturally follows that land values be-

THE EVIDENCE INSUFFICIENT.

The Supreme Court A FIR nm a Jud I'm emit of
n San Bsrnsrdipo Case.
In the case OF Luther G. Tibbets. ap-
pellant. We. Thomas Bskewell ct al, re-.
spondents, an opinion by the supreme
court was received at the Los Angeles
Office yesterday.
1t was an ejectment cose to recover a
strip OF land six feet in width.
1t appeared from the evidence that a
water ditch lie located upon thia strip of
land, and that at some point on the
land in question the water was diverted
by the defendants to other land belong
ing to them.
The plaintiff testified that he had
ordered his water in the ditch and had
been using it. When he found he had
been getting no water he went up to the
box to see what the trouble was, and
found board put in and the water run
ming into fiume that Thomas Blackwell
and the Riverside Water company had
made. There was pressure board put
in 80 that all of his water was shut off.
He further testified that this occurred
about every time he had started to irri-
Gate since then also that he had been
damaged III the loss OF the use of that
strip of land, and by the prevention by
the defendants OF his running water on
the land, in the sum of 5000.
The superior court granted nom
suit, and the appeal was from the judg-
ment and order denying new trial.
The supreme court says that IL may
be the defendants we're guilty of q
trespass, and had damaged the plaintiff
by diversion of water, or that they did
something they ought not to have done.
to justify a Judgment for plaintiff in an
action of ejectment. The judgment and
order are therefore affirmed.

DANGER OF MARTIAL LAW.
Tillman May Order Troops Out at
Charleston.

Elliott Convicted and Sentenced to
Pay a Fine of $50 or Serve Thirty
DAYS in Jail-The Governor Wires
the Trial Justice That he Will Imme-
diately Forward a Pardon for the
Constable.
Charleston, S. c., Jan. 27.-The trial Of
]. c. Elliott, a whisky spy, whose assault
on Mrs. Nolte a few days ago led 10 a
riot and an attempt to lynch him, was
concluded to-day before Justice Burnett.
The defendant was convicted of assault
and battery, and sentenced to pay $50
fine or serve thirty days imprisonment.
Before announcing the verdict justice
Burnett said that the testimony sub
mitted by the state had been uncontra-
dicted save by the defendant. The de-
tense had not shown that any Of the wit
nesses should be doubted. 1t is probable
that the defendant will pay the fine.
This will be reimbursed to him by Gov.
Tillman, who will in turn take 1t out Of
the city's share of the profits of the dis
pensary.
RUMORs OF MARTIAL LAW.
Although perfect peace reigns here, the
air tonight is filled with rumors stating
that the governor has called out the
militia of the city with view of declar
ing martial law. The armed white force
of the city consists of three battalions Of
infantry, a squadron of cavalry, a regi-
ment of artillery and gatling gun sec
ton. Besides these there are two re9i-
ments of infantry and one of cavalry Of
colored troops, who constitute the nation
al guard The police force is also
armed with Winchester repeating rifles,
as are also the battalion of state Cadets.
There are plenty of troops here.
GOV. TILLMAN AROUSED.
Columbia, S, c., Jan. 27.-There is a
nice dispensary row brewing in Charles
ton. Gov. Tillman received a dispatch
TO-DAY informing him that Dispensary Con-
stable J. G. Elliott had been tried for strik-
ing a woman, convicted and sentenced.
The governor Immediately wired
Chief Constable Gaillard to notify
the trial Justice that Elliott's
soon as he received copy of the sentence
and not to commit him to jail. Later the
governor got another dispatch from
Chief Gaillard asking permission to get
rifles for the constables there in addition
to their pistols as he feared trouble. The
governor telegraphed Capt. Cogswell, of
the Washington Light Infantry TO learn
if his company could be depended on TO
sustain the law. On receipt of an affirm
alive reply he wired Capt Cogswen TO
notify the members to be in readiness TO
be called out at any time.
Gov. Tillman is very cool about the
matter, but stated that he was de-
termined, more so because he thought
whisky men were behind the toughs incit-
ing them to embarrass the constabulary.
He said the witnesses against Elliott had
lied and he intended to swoop down on
the trial justices for allowing such men
to be put on iuries.
