s.FARMER" TODD'S LECTURE.
lie Addresses the single Tax League
ON the single Tax.

Farmer Todds lecture on the single
TAX In Masonic temple yesterday aftY-
noon was attended by small audience
composed chiefly OF the members of The
King County Single Tax League Mr..
Todd began by saying that he and others
came TO this country when the land was
In Wild state and without value. They
worked hard tn bring 1t under cultivation
and give II value. and when they began to
succeed In this a class of men came. not
10 iuin in the work of cultivation of the
soil and development of the natural re-
sources but to buy up In large tracts the
uneccupisd lands and hold them for specu-
iation. With the growth In population
and the progress In development of the
country's resources. the land kept increas-
ing IN value. thus giving the spectators
the benefit Of this increase that they had
done absolutely nothing to promote.
Mr.. Todd said that long before he had
henrd anything about the single tax
theory he had revoIved this phase OF the
land question over In his own mind. He
realized then that there was something
radically wrong with system under
which land spectators could profit by the
labor of tbs Industrious. but he never dis
covered any remedy until he studied the
single tax theory. lie then became satis-
fed that the application of this theory In
tho taxing OF land would cure the evil
without Injustice 10 any one. and the
longer he has studied the question the
stronger he has become convinced of this
The remainder OF the lecture was devoted

the First Regiment band has done very III
tie practicing was demonstrated at the fi-sr
or the series of the winter band concerts
at the Seattle Theater yesterday. There
was very large attendance, the lower
floor and balcony being both comfortably
filled All of the boxes were occupied and
some made brave showing with a rumber
of militia officers in uniform at the head
of whom was Bridadier- General Mcintyre.
The opening number was the marcel. frcm
La Reina de Saba by Gounod, followed
by the overture to .Rienzi,'' the later be-
ing the instrumental gem If the concert.
The encore piece was Lewis Gay CoIey
Island march and much was expected as
marches are particularly in lire with the
best entertainments of Seattle's :iue band
organization. Additional interest attacked

OF the winter concerts and there were tie
usual annoyances attendant upon sea-
sons opening. Seattle Is Proud of the
First Regiment Band and has always .oy-
ally supported It, With the experience OF
yesterday and closer attention TO reaear-

reputation the organization enjoys will be
maintained and that the remainder o. ,he
concerts will be up to the STANDARD estao-
iished long ago.
