The legislative investigation of the State pris-
ons has brought a sufficient array of facts TO
light to indicate a lack Of business methods and
the need Of a reorganization Of the prison man

Democratic boss in Auburn made large profits
out Of the prison in that place and that the NJ

themselves out Of the reach of any messenger
from the Governor. If the Governor had failed
to act on it, the bill would have become law

to meet the legal requirements: but still there Is
a possibility that the validity of the veto may he

Worth's delegation to Albany last week. which

profound impression on Governor Morton's mind

The Government might save money and worry

In the opening article Of this dis
cussion the Bible. Thomas jefferson
and the supreme court OF the United
States were quoted from as affording
unanswerabe authority in favor OF
the single tax doctrine. when 1t is
pointed out that the Bible does not
sustain such claim, but clearly teaches
the doctrine of private ownership of
land, the answer Is, that every unjust
system and iniquity can be bolstered
up by the Bible. This is nearly az hard
on the Bible as It Is on single tax,
which, in the outset, appealed to 1t for
support As the single taXer thus
abandons one by one the authorities
at first claimed to be IN favor al the
theory. we shall eventually hnd 1t for
saken by God and man and resting
alone upon the ipse dixit OF Henry
George.
The proposition that the single tax
is really not tax Is a onslaught by
single taNer as the nomenclature OF
his own theory. The advocates Of the
doctrine chrlstened their own bantling
with the most expressive term they
could invent. and as they parade II at
the head Of their papers and literature
for all Il Is worth, they should not be
heard. while thus reaping It's benefits
Ia disclaim Its fitness and application
in this further effort to now persuade
the public that their theory viii abol-

NEGATIVE Is concerned with the mere
