A Modern Convenience.

On the fourth Of March. 1889. an en-
terprising yankee left Boston for New
York. carrying q carpet bag OF most
goodly dimensions. The man was Will
liam F. Hamden. and his carpet bag
apparently only contained few pack
ages Of money and valuable papers. con-
signed to New York merchants. 1t had
occurred to Hamden that by saving
business men the expenses OF a special
messenger for the transfer OF each in
dividuals package q paying occupation
might be worked up for himself. The
idea was 30 novel. however. that it took
q long time for that generation to pat
ronize the new way. Perhaps Hamden
thought the load was light, but now we
can see that it contained not only the
few packages on his memorandum. but
the hole vast express system Of today
employing an army Of men, transport.
ing millions OF money and thousands oi
tons OF various merchandise. and also
doing banking business through thei'
money orders. What would our life bs

to enter into the spirit Of any reform
not laid down according to their spe-
cifc plan. l am, you will 6nd,n one
of them. While / have, of course,
studied the single-tax considerably and
feel reasonably well acquainted with
its various phases have taken every
possible pains to read and study every
thing that / could find against it,
have, in fact, learned more regarding
the single tax by reading papers at
tacking it than l have in any other
way. Iwish to say that have come
to the conclusion that while the land
question is undoubtedly the main and
fundamental question of the present
time, the single tax is not by any
means the only method by which the
land question can be lastingly and
justly settled. AS long as the over
Whelming majority of people cling
fOndly and tenaciously to taxation, In
terest, profit and competition Ito a
greater or less extent) however, the
single;tax scheme seems to me to be
the route that we can get the most CO.
travellers over, and I feel confident that
if it is ever inaugurated its effects will
be such as to lead us all in the direC-
tion of just social conditions much
more rapidly and surely than the
single-taxers generally dream of. /
am at present studying the great ques-
tion of interest, believing that the
as a class are not all clear
and logical on that important point.
l am also believer in the cooperative
commonwealth advocated by the
Twentieth Century which single takers
discard as too socialistic and try to be
open to any reasonable, peaceful solu-
tion Of the social problem. If not ask
ing too much of you / should like to
get copy of your paper and would
like to know whether or not you will
give the single-tax or other reforms
regular space in your columns.

EDITOR ADyOCATE:-Psrmit me to
thank you for taking up my letter to
you referring to the single-tax. The
comment you are pleased to make upon
it and other similar letters is not with
out ground or justification in general
sense. The points that the Single
Tax Courier raises and discusses
would in the main indorse. The sg-
gressive attitude toward all reformers
putting the single-tax in the fore
ground l regret knowing and feeling
that can not do any good. / am
painfully aware that there are too
many single-tsxers who are unwilling
