The demand fof iruit is increasing

PUBLIC OFfICE-PRIvATE SNAP

1t would seem, to judge from recent de-
velopments. that there isa we'll -grounded
idea at the court house that public Off ce
is a private snap. The Office of the coro
ner has been investigated by the grand
Jury, and the result has BEEN an indict-
m.nt returned against that officer, chare-
ing him with perjury. The coroner
clai ms that there were slxtv-tares cases
OF death which he investigated. and in
which he did not consider 1t necessary to
SUM mon a jury because it would put the
county to expense. So, to save the county
money, be charged for ing lasts he did
not hold, put in bill for them, took an oath
that it was due and unpiid, and re-
oelved the taxpayers money in lieuida.
zion OF claims that never existed. This
is the coronei's idea of economy.
1t would seem also that the attaches of
his Office had abolt the same idea of
economy as their chief. The stenogra phsr
of the coroner's Office is restricted by law
to $50 per month. lie is PAID by fees,
but in no one month is the aggregate
sum he draws in fees to be in excess of
$50. Yet Dr.. Campbell's stenographer
has repeatedly drawn more than $50 psr
mouth. The doctor, with his con.
scientious ideas OF economy approved
the stnnographeI's bills for sum
that constituted an Illegal demand.
The board OF supervisors also an.
proved and the stenographer drew the
amount. The county was defrauded
through the alleged oulpable ignorance of
the peoples servants.
And so it is all the way though the
court house. The instances cited are Only
indicative OF this state OF affairs existing
in the other county Offices. The idea
seems to be general that the thing to do
is to get all that you can and hold on to
what you get.
The county horticultural commission
has outlived its usefulness and ought to
be abolished. II is a useless appendage Of
the county government, very expens We,
and only serves as a pltce where poll
ticians can place nelly friends and work
ers. The taxpayers foot the bills at the
rate of over SIS, 600 per annum.
Ibe grand jury, or somebody else wao
has authority, shouI1 also look into the
county surveyors office at IN early day.
Money is f wing out through the chan.
nels of that Office in a way thai indicates
the absence of a stopper.
The indictment OF thu coroner fore
shadows the possibilities that are open.
In the meantime the district sttnrnev's
etSce will OF course pardon The Herald If
it makes me suggestion. II is simply
this:
Pl ease draw indictments in forms pre-
soribed by law, 80 that they will not be-
set aside or dem urred out of court when
they come up in the CRIMINAL department
OF justice.

The Single Tax I, oooosed to Socialism

The Single Tax Is Opposed to Soc sIlsm
Editor Herald:-ln your issue of No
VEN Der 21st Nj. Randolph advances, in
opposition to the single tax doctrine,
certain theories which mark him as q
socialist.
For example, like all socialists, he
claims that all machines should be com.
mon prop because the art Of masing
them has been discovered rom titus to
time in the past by men now dead. This
doctrine would make all watches COM
mon property. to be carried, suppose,
in national pocket.
1t IS true that the art OF making
watches 10 an inhsr,tsncs to the world
from the past. That makes com ION
property OF the art of making watches, so
that no man has right to say to his
neighbor: You must not make q
watch" But when q man makes a watch
tn. watch is his, not the nations. So
with any machine.
Again. like all socialists, he claims that
it Is not right to take interest on loans.
| know one or two parties who would be
glad to oorr w money, giving the most
approved secrity, If some kind -hearted
soGialist wouli advance the money on
soc ialistio principles.
1t doss sesm us II these sooialistic pro-
positions need no answer, and ] would
Rsndolph's article. referring to me per-
sonally, seems to afford me an Opoortu-
nifty Of pointing out to the public that
single tax men are unslterably opposed
20 socialism. We oppose socialism be-
cause it is Utopisn AMI impractical BILE.
We oppose socialism because 1t is q the
DRY that.the government should 90 alb
solutely sll kinds Of business for every
body. We do not bel,evs that the govern
ment OF the United States should black
our shoes or clean our finger nails. We
oppose socialism because 1t il opposed
TO allowing a man to 40 business for him
self; because il would make every man
an employees of the government and a
slave OF the state; BECAUSE il is opposed
to the American idea Of individuslsm
and business freedom: because a social
istic government. il it could be at all,
NO lid be such despotisn as the world
never before knew.
The despotic spirit of socialism Is ap-
parent whom We note that ev,ry reform
not sooialistic is always violently OPP.
posed by socialists. They must have
their own socialistio system or nothing.
Now the single tax men propose to
abolish all taxation save that upon land
far-reachine benefit OF such reform Is
best understood after little study of
economic science. But it reouiles no
study to see that il taxes upon improve
ments and upon the work of producing
things are removed, improvement and pro-
duction will be stimulated that II taxes
upon vacant land a:e increased more
vacant land will be put to use. Now If
Mr.. Randolph thinks the single tax is
worse than the present system of taxa
ton why does he MT prove 1t? If he
thinks it is better than the existing sys-
tom Of taxation, why does be oppose it?
