EDITOR ADVOCATE:-"Who would
want to own thing that was taxed
when he could invest his money in
something not taxableP To put the
whole burden of taxation on land
would not only cheaper land values
but would drive it out of the hands Of
the people; the poor would yield first;
those who could afford to monopOliZe
large areas would be left to own the
land. MOnopolies of land would mul-
tiply to the extent that soon practic-
ally all the land would be controlled by
syndicates. The tenement system
would result, for all would want to give
up ownership of land and go to pro-
ducing personal property not subject
to taxation. But even this would fail.
If taxes were higher rent would be
high. Only the rich could afford to be
tenants, even. All others would be
serfs or servants. What stronger
chain could be riveted upon the
people? Even the rich could not af-
ford to own land, and it would revert
in time to the state. No one would
want it. 1t would have no value. No
tax can be assessed on something
which has no value, or collected from
something no one would care to own"
The above is an extract from the
discussion between Mr.. Bell and Mr..
Glass, published in the ADVOCATE,
July q. "All would want to give up
ownership of land and go to producing
personal property not subject to taxa
tiOn." But, honestly, Mr.. Bell, what
would they produce personal property
of? Where would they get their raw
material and where would they put
their workshop while they were pro-
ducing? Would they utilize the sun
shine and the atmospheric Really,
Mr.. Bell, you confuse us; for l have
never been able to even breathe the
air without the use of land. Truly, if
you have discovered method of pro-
ducing personal property without the
use Of land, it will be a great boon to
humanity. 1t will forever Danish to
the rear all such theories as Henry
Georges single-tax, for it is founded
on the old-fashioned belief that all
wealth is produced from land, and he,
believing this, conceived the idea that
anything which would make it easy to
gain access to land, and at the same
time make it profitable to use it, would
benefit humanity; hence his PROPOSE
tion to tax land to make it Improbable
to merely own and exempt labor pro.
ducts to make it profitable to use.
think it very kind of Mr.. George to
giVeto the world the benefit Of his in
Vestigations; and if there had never
been any other method of producing
wealth discovered than from land
probably Mr.. Georges system would
have been tried; but since Mr.. Bell has
evolved his theory of producing
wealth without land, Mr.. Georges the
ory must forever take rear seat.

ELECTION FRAUDS.
Glarlng- Discrepancies Discovered on
Kansas City Tally Sheets.

Kansas City, Nov. 15.-An absolute
and glazing fraud, perpetrated on the
tally sheets in the recent election, WAS
today unearthed in the Office of the re-
corder OF voters. The fraud was discover
ed by W. II. Jamison, Republican candi-
dae for prosecuting attorney, who was
erected IN the face of the returns, but
was counted out by his opponents. The
discovery was made in the presence of
Recorder of Voters Owsley and admitted
by that official. The discovery apparent
~ bears out the allegation by Jamison
and Sloan that the Democratic offices
OF prosecuting attorney and county mar
shall, to which claim to have been
elected, were defeated. Great conster-
nation was caused among politicians gen
orally by today's discovery and startling
developments may be expected within the
next few days.
Jamison, accompanied by his attorney,
Z. {: Small, called on Recorder of Voters
OwSley today and made formal de-
mand to see the tally sheets of the va.
rious precincs, the returns certified to
by the judges and the sheet on which
they were copied and which was used by
Inspectors Shannon and Hawthorne in
making the official count. Ows-
ley positively refused to show
the tally sheets, but showed
the others. Holding the sheet on which
the figures were written between himself
and the light, Small could see where eras-
ures had been made and new figures had
been written in. These changes, he says,
were in those precincts in the Sixth and
Eighth wards, the returns from which
The Star has already shown to have been
changed. By looking at the judges re-
port in that way both men were sure that
they could see evidence that the figures in
the tens columns in Jamcsons and Bren-
nermans vote hand been altered. They
state that the fabric had been injured and
that there can be no doubt that the
changes We're made without the evident
use of chemicals. The recorder himself
agreed with them that erasures and
changes must have been made. Later in
the day papers were filed by Jamson and
Small in the circuit court, asking for q
pre-cmptory writ of mandamUS TO compel
Recorder Owslcy to show the tally sheets
The writ had not been granted up TO q
late hour this evening. Brpnnerman ant
keshar, the Democrats who were givcI
the election in the place of Jamis2u a9L
Sloan, have offered TO submit to re
count. This proposition, however, ha.
been refused by the different candidates
who assert that it is Il scheme to "ntrHI
them. They urged that if the return,
could have been altered the ballots cull,
have been and probabaly were fixed t. car
