nois, containing an area OF 55,-
600 square miles, men are re-
claiming secalled worthless lands
on large scale indicates a growing
scarcity of good agricultural land IN
the state. By the term scarcity we do
not mean that there is not enough
good land in Illinois to accommodate
four or five times as many working
farmers as are now engaged in that
occupation within its boundaries. 1t is
only because of the monopolizs alton Of
a great deal of land by very few per.
sons that there is an apparent scarcity.
The men who reclaim those river bot
bonn lands should receive in return
liberal compensation for all the labor
and capital expended upon them.
Economically speaking, all that
they apply or use in the re-
clamation of those lands. Is
is labor, in one form or another, as
capital is simply crystalizsd or stored
up labor The return to capital,
though in business affairs called in
terest. is really wages for completed
labor.
After receiving fair compensation
for the labor applied to the lands,
every dollar beyond that paid by ten
ants will be rent The question here
arises, to whom does ground rent, pure
and simple, and aside from any i'm
provements, rightfully belong? This
question may be- answered by the vsri.
Gus schools OF political economists in
different ways, but one thing is GER
tain and uudeniable. The value
of these lands, independent of i'm
provements, was and will be
produced by population, by the set
Element, growth and enterprise of the
surrounding communities. And if it
be true that all men have an equa
right to natural opportunities, should
not rent, the result of communal eff
ort, flow into the treasury of the COM
munity instead of going into private
Golfers?
And here is another idea to be con-
sidered: 1t lands claimed by their
owners as worth 500 per acre are hsld
at that price, 80 that persons needing
them cannot get them for less, why
should they not be taxed the asked
price, less the value of the improve
ments?
Whatever may b, ones views on po-
litical economy, this great Illinois
land re claiming scheme certainly fur
nishes material for profitable study.
These facts and suggestions are
thrown out for the purpose of exciting
thou hit and discussion within that
large, growing class known as stu
dents of political economy.

FROM the paucity of the attendance
at his initial lecture and the dissppro-
baton manifested by the diminutive
audience, it is evident that Bigot ALL
wardt has struck chilly frost in New
York. 1t is plain from the brief out
line Of his remarks telegrsphed by the
Associated Press that it is largely with
his ignorance that he is bigot. When
he says people who trade are not pro-
ducers, he shows that what he needs
mostly is course in political econ
omy. He and his kind might peruse a
few chapters from Adam Smith, John
Stuart Mill and Henry George with
very advantageous results. Nominslly
people who do the trading of the
world, as is largely the case with the
Jews, are distributors, but as produc-
ton would practically cease without
distribution, traders are really in an
ultimate sense producers. All men
cannot be growers of corn and makers
of clothes; some must do the growing
and making while others find the mar
kets, and the latter are just as much
factors in production as the former.

Terrific Explosion of Dynamite aud Pou-

der In Tennessee.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Dec. ta.-By pre-
mature explosion of powder and dynamite
four men were killed Mt IlaFollette,
Campbell county. Four other men are
missing, and their bodies nre being
searched for in the mass Of earth and rock
that was dislodged by the explosion. The
names of the dead are: Andrew Bales,
white, aged 20; Neal Dabney, white, 25;
John Webb, 81, and James Price.
Tho explosion occurred on the works of
tho LaFollette railroad. near LaFollette,
where a new road is being projected from
IaFollette to Jellieo. A large force of
men were at work blasting. Two kegs of
powder had been placed in a sixteen foot
hole. and four sticks of dynamite wero also
added to the deadly change.
A fuse was attached to the powder, and
the men ran from the place to a safe dis
lance to await the result. They waited
fourteen minutes, and the charge failed to
go off. Tho men were then ordered by
the foreman to break into the hole to re-
adjust the fuse. They oheyed the order,
all being apparently satisfied that the fire
had become extinct. Just ~ they re-
entered the hole, however, ths terrific ex,
pleslon occurred, and the earth and stone
for many yards around were dislodged and
thrown into conglomerate mass with
the remains of the unfortunate victims

OPIUM JOINT CASES
CITY BUSINESSES or THEN IN
THE CIRCUIT COURT
witnesses Fail to Appear Against the
C-hinanen-In the state and Fed
eraI Courts.

The case of the City of Indianapolis
against Doc Lung and Pang Wing for
maintaining an opium resort was dismissed
yesterday in the Circuit Court. The case
came to Judge Brown on an appeal from
the Police Court. Further proceedings were
abandoned by the city because of the inabil-
ity of the prosecution to get the witnesses
into court. Sanitary officers Matlock,
Schrotz and Duval. who raided the opium
den, had been notified that the case would
come up yesterday, out were not present.
The woman, Ada Miller, who was found in
the resort when the arrest was made, was
also absent. Deputy City Attorney Haas
asked Judge Brown to continue the case,
but the latter declined to put it off longer.
He said the case had been postponed once
before, and it must now be disposed of in
some manner.
Prosecutor Haas said that the city was
compelled to dismiss. Just why the sani-
tary officers were not present no one seems
to know. 1t is understood that Duval ex-
pressed himself as being displeased with the
manner in which the raid was made, and
declared that had he known then what he
has since learned he would not have been
connected with it.
