death. The form Of the beloved hus-

Wilson N. King, NJ. D., was born
| in Westmoreland, Pa, Dec. 4, 1926,
moved to Holmes county, Ohio, in
1888 and to Knox county, Ohio, in
1858 and to Mansfield, Ohio, in 1868.
He was raised and educated in Holmes
county, graduated at Jefferson Medi-
cal college, Philadelphia, in spring Of
1858, though he began the study OF
medicine in lS49 and has practiced
since 1852. After graduation he went
to Millersberg, Ohio, and then to
Knox county where he practiced u
years except for his absence during
the war. He was surgeon OF the seth
regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry,
from October 1861 until he resigned
in August, 1868. He re-enlisted in
the spring Of 1864 as surgeon Of the
l42nd regiment, 0. '. l., and served
until the close Of the war. After re-
turning from the front he attended .
course Of lectures in the College OF
Physicians and Surgeons, New York
City. He was married in 1862 to
Miss Sarah Mills Of Tuscarawas
county, Ohio. Four children were
born to them Of whom three are liv-

mother in her great grief. They are'

King Of this city. He first came to
Kansas in January 1878 and for many
years enjoyed remarkably large and
successful practice which he retained
until increasing age and feebleness
compelled him to lay it down. Hs
was particularly successful in certain
surgical operations and performed
many which made him statewide
reputation. Since young manhood
he was member Of the Methodist
church and he has throughout his
residence here been one Of the leading
members and supporters Of the First
M. 4. church Of this city. In politics
he has always been staunch Rcpub-
lican and his party honored him In
1892 by making him its candidate for
register of deeds to which Office he
was elected by a handsome majority
and in the conduct OF which he has
been ably assisted by his daughter
Mace.

THE SINGLE TAX.
Some Sensible Remarks.

A correspondent of the New York
Voice makes some points against the
Single Tax theory. We quote:
editor OF THE VOICE:
In your issue Of November Is, is a
communication from Mr.. George v.
Wells advocating the adoption Of the
Single tax as the sovereign remedy
for all our economic ills. He contends
that all surplus wealth, above bare
subsistence to the actual producer. is
absorbed by the private landowner in
rent" This assertion is discredited
by statistics, facts, observation, and
common sense. Mr.. Wells asserts
that the introduction and use of la
bOr-displacing machinery merely add
to the the value Of the land, and that
ali the advantages derived from the
use Of machinery are obsorbed by the
landowner in increased rent. Almost
the exact converse is true. The in
PRODUCTION and use of machinery in
agricultural operations tends both to
decrease the value Of land and also its
rental valuc. For instance. some
years ago the New England States
were occupied by prosperous and
contented agricultural class. In less
than decade the agricultural areas
of those States were nearly depopu-
lated, over 1900 farms being actually
abandoned by their owners. Farms
with substantial Improvements. pre-
viously held at $50 per acre, were Of
fered in hundreds of cases for less
than the cost of the improvements
The cause Of this enormous decrease
in land values was the direct result of
competition with the machine worked
farms Of the Northwest, on whose
level prairies wheat could be produced
with aid Of machinery for less than
half the cost Of production of the
Northeastern States
We ask our Single Tax friends to
note particularly the next point:
Another fact. within sight and
sound of the New England factories
where men, women and children
worked for starvation wages, were
hundreds of abandoned farms. the use
Of which could have been procured for
the mere agreement to pay the annual
taxes. but there is no record Of any
factory employe rushing to embrace
the chance Of such free access to
natural opportunities as an alterna-
tive against accepting any reduction
of wages imposed by the capitalist
owner OF the factory"
And if the workmen will not culti-
vate those lands subject to the pres
ent comparatively low taxes, why will

cannot be held responsible for the de-
feat of the bill.
While money was probably used, by
the corporations, to kill the bill we
can believe that many who voted
against it were honest. We cannot,
for instance, think that Senator Nc
Hale is corrupt man. Men were be-
wildered by specious arguments that
the bill was railroad trick to invali-
date the gross earnings tax, which
now brings nearly million dollars a
year into the state treasury. There
was room for an honest difference of
opinion; and we do not wish to Judge
any man harshly. For one we felt
that we could safely follow the judg-
ment of the legal adviser of the State,

they do so when all the taxes of the
community are piled upon them?
And let some of our theorists an
swer the following points:
What has. ownership of land or
control of natural oppOrtunities" to
90 with the success of such giant mon
Opolies as the big Four meat COM
Dine OF Chicago, which determines the
price OF every head of cattle, sheep or
hogs raised in this country? Or,
what has ownership of land to do
With the cotton-seed oil trust, or the
great flour trust, with capital of
over $lO0.OJO,O05: or the leather trust,
or the sugar trust, or scores of others
whose continued existence and sue
cess would not in the least be affected
by any change in our fiscal policy, Of
land tenure, or taXatiOn:"
And here are some sensible
thoughts:
Ina land like ours, Of boundless
extent and sparse population, private
ownership of occupied land could
never affect the present unequal dis
trlbution of wealth. But private
ownership OF the means of production
and distribution under any system of
land tenure would result in the pres
ent division of society into plutocrats
and proletariats. Under an indus
trial system where a continually di-
minishing class own and control the
means and instruments Of modern
production, while the great mass of
the people control only their labor
power, it is inevitable that the latter
class under competitive conditions
will be forced to sell their labor for
wages I. e., for the least portion of
the product they will consent to re-
ceive and continue to reproduce. IN
der such conditions wages will rep
resent not the value of their product,
but their necessities
Give the human mind time enough
and it will explode any fallacy, how
ever plausible; and it is exploding the
Single Tax theory. Id.

that an evil force has been removed
forever from the politics of the North
west. Mankind will be greatly better
for his downfall. The political atmos-

seems as if the truth of the declara-

manifest. 1T must needs be

woe unto him by whom the sin

dcad-all his millions gone. Bill
King is selling goods on commission
all his millions gone; Wheelock and
Driscoll are working by the month

their millions gone; and still higher
