Chicago, Feb. %. = According to
statement just issued by the Illinois

 Barber Robert Garrett of Prescott, who was sick with Shingles" is out again. The Courier thus explains the case: Owing to a shingle famine Garrett's house stood unroofed for some weeks and every man who spoke to Garrett asked him why he did not cover the house.

SINGLE TAX.

Single tax according to the single taxer.
means the economic rent levied upon land
and since land IS defined by him as all.
everything. including the tools by which
society makes It's living, il means that. by
the adoption Of such a principle, the land
will be conhscated and the owner thereof
turned on. upon the highways without a
means of subsistence. In short. ne is rob
bed Of the right 10 live and is promised
nothing IN return for his land.
''To tx land says a prominent advo-
cate Of single tax. will break Up nonopo-
Hes by establishing free competition" l
would like 10 ask Have we not free COM
petition today? And. if sing = taN Were
adopted. commercial depression would not
result from the breaking ZIP Of business
relations within oar midst? The people
OF his state are asked to vote for single
takers on the Sth of November under the
guise of fusion. The many faliacies TO be

All attempt Is being made by the ad-
vocates of the single tax ana their
Democratic allies TO conceal .h, under
lying motive OF the proposed conssitu-
tional amendment by claiming that il
Is merely intended 10 give the people an
opportunity 10 exempt portion Of their
personal property from taxation. It Is
noticeable that, while making this ef-
fort to deceive the people. they rarely
quote the language OF the amendment.
When they do, the deception is at once
obvious.
The amendment says the electors
shall determine the class or classes Of
property upon which taxes FOR munich
pal purposes shall be levied. which tax
shall be uniform as 20 persons and
class
This plainly means that. If any per-
sonal property is exempted from taxa
ton. all personal property of whatso-
ever kind and nature must be exempted
In like manner. And this is true OF
every other class Of property subject
to taxation. II any portion is exempt
ed. ali must be exempted.
1t IL useless for the sinsle-taxers and
their political dupes Ia attempt 10 con-
ceal the true motive ana intent Of this
proposed amendment. 1t is single tax,
pure and simple. ana nothing else.
There must be something about the
singlc-tax theory which It's advocates
do not care TO discuss. or they would
not undertake 10 secure votes for II by
chcanery and fraud. Let the people
be on their guard and vote down this
insidious attempt 10 foist Il dangerous
and smpracticable piece Of legislation
upon them.

rule would seem 10 be tina, where any

is implied in the decision OF the circuit
court Of Cook county. Illinois. which
was called upon 10 decide whether ex-
press companies or shippers should pay
for the stamp affixed 10 the receipt

court holds that under the act of 1885
express companies ara required to issue
receipts TO shippers. and as part thereof
