The white camelia has been favorite
in France ever since the publication of

the other hand, the Saint Paul & Duluth
railroad has been favorite ever since
the beginning, because of its fine facili-
ties and the service it gives its patrons.
Thse have made the Duluth Short Line.

Henry George without taking the trouble
to familiarize themselves with his works,

Tax theory. He never made any such
pretension. The abolition of all taxes

Physiocrats OF more than century ago.
It originated, if 1 mistake not, with Fran

it is enough to give one an attack of
spasmodic homicide to see some idealess
