GRASS Is KINGi

Grass rules. 1t is the most valuable
crop of America, worth more than
either cor or wheat. Luxurious mead
ows are the farmers delight. A posi-
tive way to get them, and the only one
we know, is to sow Salzer's Extra Grass
Mixtures. Many of ourfarmer readers
prise them and say they get 4 to 6 tons
of magnificent hay per acre from Sal
zer's seeds. Over one hundred different
kinds of Grass, Glover and Fodder
Plant seeds are sold by Salzer.
IF YOU WILL U THIS oUT AND SEND IT
with &c postage to the John A. Salzer
Seed Co., La Crosse, Wis, you will get
a sample of GRASS CLOVER MIXTURE and
their mammoth seed catalogue free. [Kl

What the single Tax Means.

What does the single tax mean, and
what effect would it have upon real es-
tate, and who would be most effected
thereby? The single tax means a tax
upon land values, instead Of, as at
present, upon land, improvements, in
come and personal property. It will
bring land to its real value, to that
value which the community warrants
it. The speculative value alone will be
eliminated. There will be no longer
any speculative value attached to land,
hence the Spectator and monopolist
would be deprived of getting that value
which the community earns, and which
should and would go into the treasury,
thus lessening the burdens Of the peo-
pie who improve our city and country
The user Of the land will be the gamer
for, whether land be high Or low, he
gets only the same advantage from the
using Of the land. The single tax sys-
tenn is the solution to our labor trouble
because labor could then compete
fairly with capital, having many OPP
portunities of work opened to It.
It would do away with the holding OF
vacant lots by land spectators and
thus lessen the taxes of the community.
The single tax would be certain, that
is. it could not be evaded. Land lies
out of doors and a not be hidden.
Land is more easily appraised.by the
assessor than any other species OF prop
erty, especially when the speculative
element is eliminated. The single tax
would be wise because it would remove
burdens from commerce, industry and
business generally. By d~iscouraging
the withdrawal Of land from use and
its improvements it would
expand opportunity for labor and in
crease the reward Of industry and
