Theodore Roosevelt, the CiviEservice
Commissioner, in an article in the Forum
for February, Classics the people VINO
first in his list is 1.-THE conscienceless
stock speculator who acquires wealth by
swindling his fellows, debauching judges,
corrupting legislatures and ends his
days with the reputation Of being n
of the richest men in America, and who
exerts upon the rising generation an
influence worse than that of the aver
age murderer or bandit, even if he does
endow a college" Next. the merchant
or manufacturer who deliberately sets
himself at work to keep the laborers
employed by him in a condition of de-
tendency which renders them helpless
to combine against him, who leaves
in the record of his name and deeds a
legacy of evil greater than the profess
sional labor agitator with his reckless.
incendiarism of speech" The worst
foes of America are the reckless agita-
tors who rouse the mob to riot n
bloodshed, and who are the most dan
gerous of the workingman's enemies.
inlS man is a real peril, ana SO is MS
sympathizer, the legislator, who. to
catch votes, u the judiciary and
the military because they put down
mobs. The damage don by Governor
Altgeld last summer cannot be esti-
mated. Mr.. Roosevelt goes IN to say
that there is not in the world a more
ignoble character han the mere money
getting American. who is insensible to
every duty, regardless of every princi-
pie, bent only on amassing a fortune"
Finally MIR. Roosevelt pitches upon the
men whose ideals are purely material"
He singles out Edward Atkinson as one
of this class eau he opposes an in
crease of the regular army and the
navy and makes trade and property
far more sacred than life and honor.
They believe that 1.-The angel of peace,
draped in a garment of untaxed calico,

when she has implored them to devote
their energies to producing oleomar-
garine at a quarter of a cent less a
firkin or importing woolens for a frac-
ton less than they al be made at

SINGLE TAX AND WORKINGMEN.
Louis Post, the Single Tax Lecturer,
Explains It's Advantages.

am asked to explain how the single
tax would benefit workingmen, the term
''vorkingmen'' being used in the narrow
sense which excludes all kinds of labor
except that of poorly paid hired men.
For purposes of controversy 1t would be
enough to answer that as such men are
part of the great body of labor to be
freed by the single tax, they must In
evitably share the benefits that labor in
general would derive from freedom. But
this, though it should silence an adver-
sary, might we'll fail to convince an hon.
est inquirer who was unaccustomed to
abstract thinking. I shall therefore make
a more definite answer.
Scarcity of work explains low wages.
If the general demand for workingmen
exceeded the supply, wages would rise
until each received the full worth of his
labor Every workingman knows this
1t follows that an industrial reform to
permanently benefit workingmen must
bring about such an adjustment of gen.
eral industrial conditions as will keep the
demand for workingmen continuously
above the supply. The single tax would
do this.
When we inquire into the reason for the
excessive supply of workingmen we find
1t IN the burden Of taxation upon i'm
proVements and products and in the
monopoly of desirable land To the work
