Still less, how can you find out the
amount Of wealth a man has? The
present system of taxation requires a
horde of officials. They constantly
provoke evasion, frauds and perjury.
All taxes upon capital, upon buildings
and improvements are and must be
paid ultimately by the user. They are
shifted from hand to hand, increasing
as they go, SO that the ultimate pay
ment by the people is very much great
er than that received by the state.
All such taxes are stupid and bar
barous. They check production. They
create monopoly and strengthen it,
and gives to the man who has much an
unnatural advantage over the man
who has little. Every dictate of good

A Bank
Failure.
AN INVESTIGATION
DEr1ANDED.

A general banking business is done by
the human system, because the blood de-
posts i'll its vaults whatever wealth we may
gain from day to day. This wealth is laid
up against "a rainy day Z" as a reserve fund
we're in a condition Of healthy prosperity
if we have laid away sufficient capital to
draw upon i'll the hour of our greatest need.
There is danger i'll getting thin, because it's
a sign of letting down i'll health. To gain
in blood is nearly always to gain i'll aUhoie-
some flesh. The odds are in favor of the
germs of consumption, grip, or pneumonia,
if our liver be inactive and ouT blood I'M
pure, or if our flesh be reduced 6elozO a
healthy standard. What is required is IN
increase in Du ge,M-hghking strength. DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery enriches
the blood and makes it wholesome, stops
the waste of tissue and at the same time
builds UP the strength. A medicine which
will rid tile blood of its poisons, cleanse and
~invigorate the great organs of the body,
vita1ize the system, thrill the whole being
with new energy and make permanent work
of it, Is surely a remedy of great value. But
when we make a positive statement that %
per cent. of all cases of consumption can, if
taken i'll tile early stages of the disease, be
CURED with the Discovery" it seems like
a bold assertion. All DR.. Pierce asks is that
you make a thorough investigation and
satisfy yourself of the truth of his assertion.
By sending to the Worlds Dispensary Med
ical Association, Buffalo, N. Y, o can get
a free book with the names, addresses and
photographs of a large number of those
cured ofthroat, bronchial and lung diseases,

where the State Gets Its Power to Tax
Another View of This Subject.
"The state gets its power of taxation
from the fact that the community or
state is the superior land owner, or
'cver-lord' within a certain area, and
no matter how it may levy it's exac-
lions for revenue, it can not by the
multiplicity of these exactions get any
more than it can by one form-for the
use of the land. There is the ultimate
limit to the The state "a
levy revenue only over the territory
which it controls and the amount it
can raise is always governed by what
men are willing to pay for the priv
ilege of living within that area
Now, with the state as with the in
dividual landlord, the rent tax will
afford the largest revenue with the
least trouble and expense. Take the
manifold taxes we levy to-day through
our various governments. They are
literally as stupid and barbarous as it
would be on the part of an individual
owner of an estate to go back to petty
feudal exactions. We tax business, oc-
equations and wealth wherever we find
them, and levy burdens on all the
sources-not of revenue, but of produc-
ton. The tax we advocate would raise
all the revenue at the lowest possible
cost. and without checking the sources
of production at all.
A GOOD SUGGESTION.
cit would be the most certain tax.
The land can not be carried away. 1t
can not be hidden or disguised. You
do not now even have to know the in
diyidual who owns it. A little placard
on every lot simply giving its dimen-
sions, saying it was valued at SO
much for taxation would bring public
opinion and the public conscience to
the aid of the assessor. You can ascer-
tain the value of the lots eve under
most costly buildings, but how can
End the value OF what Is con-
