A PROPOSED PATRIOTIC DAY"

The following resolution, among
others, was adopted by the Kansas
State Teachers association at its re-
cent session in this city:
That we respectfully ask the legislature
to designate the 22d day Of February as
"Patriotio day in the Schools" the day TO
be occupied with exercises appropriate TO
such an occasion, calculated TO stimulate
love of country, respect for authority, and
obedience TO law.
This is a strange resolution to be
adopted by people possessing the in
telllgence and general Information of
our Kansas teachers. Love of home
and Of native country Is as natural as
filisl love, and it cannot be sliensted

much Of which is worse thaa worth
less, are now transported free; and
the second is the excessive rates paid
for transporting the mails. I would
remedy the first difficulty by abolish
ing the frsnking privilege, and the
second by having the government
itself own and operate the railroads.
This done. and our postal system
would not only be self-supportlng
but would yield a revenue in excess
of cost to be applied to any def
ciency that might exist in other de-
partments.
Moreover, if the government owned
and operated the railroads, psssen-
ger and freight rates could bslsrgely
reduced, better service could be rem
dered, and the revenues derived
from our immense transportation
system would not only pay cost OF the
same, but would yield additional
revenue for other government ex-
penses. What is true of the rail-
roads is also true of the telegraph
system.
But the plan should not stop here.
Our coal and mineral lands are now
monopolized and operated for pri-
vste gain. There is a monopoly of
almost every industry through which
tribute is levied upon the masses of
the people for the enrichment of a
few men. The general tendency of
the age is consolidation and central
izstion. I do not object to this be-
cause I think I can foresee that it
will operate as a potent force in has
tening the end which must be newt
able. Government (the peopIe)
should and will take possession Of
these monopolies and conduct them
for the common good of all. In so
doing each may become source of
public revenue derived from an act
ual service rendered, and those who
receive the benefits of that service
will pay for it. Under such reve-
nue. system the injustice and the
hardship of present taxation would
be avoided, and believe it would be
a vast improvement over any system
OF tarGtiOn ever presented.
The outline of this plan has been
necessarily brief. I have not been
able to anticipate objections to it be-
cause of the necessary limits of a
single article. You have frequently
called upon me for a better plan than
the single tax to cure monopoly and
yield public revenue. I submit this
for comparison with the plan you ad-

method I suggested for the cure of
land monopoly as not sufficiently ex.
plicit or definite ia detail. Your OBJ
lection is, in my judgment, absolutely
groundless. The method IS perfectly
explicit and, 1 spprehend, perfectly
comprehensible. I will endeavor to
make it clear to you.
Government should, without de-
lay, proceed to reclaim every foot Of
land now held ont Of use for speCu-
lstive purposes, and every foot Of
land held by landlords for rent, and
open the same for occupancy to act
usl settlers. HoWG
First-By declaring void all grants
to corporations and individuals that
have not been disposed Of to small
holders for personal occupancy and
use.
Secondly Immediately and sb-
sOlutely dlspossessing all individual
proprietors Of land held for specu-
lstive purposes.
In carrying out the latter purpose
some discretion is undoubtedly neces-
gary. We have in this country a
large class Of what may be termed
small landlords. They consist of
professional men, mechanics and
and tradesmen who have invested
their surplus earnings in small tracts
Of land as a kind of savings bank,
and yet who do not occupy the land,
but rent ii to others. Then there are
small inheritRnces of widows and Or
phsn children which are likewise so
invested, aud which I cannot conceive
that it would be strictly just to re-
claim without fair reCompense. The
siDgle-tax would apply to these just
as 1t would apply to the possessions
Of the great lsnd-grabbers, and
would ultimately result in the oonfs-
cation Of all alike. / would have all
such small land proprietors paid for
that which is taken from them.
Right here is the only point that I
leave indefinite IN this discussion,
and that is, just how far this syetem
OF recompense shall be carried. Shall
the great land monopolists be recon.
pensed as well as the classes l have
specially referred to? / think not.
They claim title in fee simple to
natural resources not required sfor
direct personal use, and like the
Southern planters a generation ago
who claimed title to property in
man, their claim is opposed to natu-
ral laws, and cannot be respected.
Others may differ with me upon this
subject, however, and as it is aside
from the main questionable recovery
Of the land-is, in fact, q mere mat
ter of detail, / submit that it may |
safely be left to those upon whom |
the duty of final adjustment may fall,

L
tlrely different ground, and that is
that no natural right whatever is, or
can be, justly subject to tacation, and
I spprehend you will find this a
rather difficult snsg to get over.
I shall now resume my argument
upon the subject of public revenues.
l think you will agree with me that
the only justification for Gny system
Of raising public revenues is the ne
oessity of means to defrsy expenses
Of the public service. If this be true,
then there can be no excuse for rsis-
ing revenues IN excess Of the needs Of
that service. The true question that
presents itself, therefore, is this: The
estimate Of the public needs first be-
ing made, what is the best and most
equitable plan Of raising the money I!
Here, again, your single'tsx theory is
directly the reverse of the correct
one. You would levy a tax upon
land, not based upon the public
needs, but sufficient, as you say, to
destroy land monopoly. Instead of
saying the needs of the public service
are q certain number of millions of
dollars, corresponding to the esti-
mates; how shall we raise it? You
would say the revenues derived from
the single.tsx on land amount to a
certain number of millions of dol
lars, probably in excess Of the public
needs; how shall we spend it? The
thing is out of joint anyway you
look at it.
But, passing this, it may be OBJ
served, if the theory that the only
justification for any system for col
Letting public revenues is the neces-
sity of means to defrsy expenses of
the public service, then the whole
question between us may be resolved
into that of ths most equitable sys-
tenn of raising such revenues; and
upon this topic I have few sugges-
tions to offer.
Some time ago you charged me
with desiring more and stronger
government" as a means of curing
existing ills. On the other hand, I
will now state / desire far less gov
ernment and far more individual
liberty, Our whole system is wrong.
Government should be less a police
man and more guardian of the
rights and interests of the people.
The real and truly legitimate func-
tion of government is to literally and
effectually 'provide for the public
welfare" This done, and much that
is now called government would be
rendered entirely unnecessary. I
cannot dwell upon this topic, as I
would like to do, but must pass to the
one directly in hand.
The public revenues are now de-
rived from tsxrtion upon what the
people possess. This, in my humble
judgment, is all wrong. / Ibelieve that
all necessary revenues should be Sc
cured through the service which the

A BRUTAL FIGHT.
w. S. Burrows Has to Be Taken
to the Hospital.
The Wounded Man Accused of HaV-
ing Committed a Burglary
the Night Before.

A brutal fight occurred on Washing
ton street near Center yesterday in
which W. S. Burrows, late employe
OF the Rio Verde, was so badly beaten
that he had to be taken to the county
hospital. The other man in the fight
was William Lawrence, bartender at
Singleton's saloon. Both men were ar
rested and Lawrence was released on
$25 bond to appear for trial before
Justice tombstone this morning.
Burrows, soon after his arrest, began
to feel the effect of his injuries and
soon became unable to walk. DR..
Stroud was called to attend him and he
was taken into the Rhodes bicycle
agency where his wounds were dressed.
The chief injury resulted from a kick
in the groin.
Neither of the men are admiral BILE
characters. Burrows is charged with
having burglarized the room of
Thomas Carey of the Star lodg-
ing house the night before and
of having stolen vest, pair
OF sleeve buttons and pair of
suspenders. The sleeve buttons and
suspenders were found on him and the
vest was discovered at barber shop
where Burrows had pawned it with a
lot OF blankets. This theft was one of
the causes of the quarrel.

THE REFORM SCHOOL.

1t VIII Be Under Roof Some Time
This Fall.
The recent meeting of the board of
control al Flagstaff in the matter of the
reform school will result in expediting
work upon the building. The superin-
tendent of construction has been re-
moved and tine business of superintend-
ing has been put into the hands of
Architect Heinlein.
He will make alterations in the orig
inal plans and will shortly advertise for
bids for putting the roof on the build
ing and finishing it. The proposed al
terations will not delay the work now
going on. The roof will be put on some
time this fall.
The building might have been much
further advanced or indeed might have
been completed, but a great deal of
latitude as to time was allowed
in letting the contract, as it was
not assured that the late legisla-
ture would make the necessary appro-
priations for carrying it on. There is
now remaining in the treasury about
$4,000 to be expended in construction.
Unpaid bills will reduce this by $4,000
and the rest will probably be sufficient
to keep the work moving until the taxes
come in in December.
The board of control will shortly 20 to
Yuma and arrange for psroling force
of prisoners to be employed in leveling
and otherwise preparing the reform
school grounds.
