There is no denying the fact that the
single tax scheme is gaining wide
favor with the people. The plan might
not drive all poverty from the world,
but it would put 1t in the power OF
the masses to avoid most of 1t. The
man who has access to the land need
not go hungry. The monopoly OF
land and the attendant extortions of
the landlords are no doubt doing much
to keep the multitude poor.-Sacra-

The South has everything to be
proud of as an agricultural center; as

Since they could not prevent the war
they have insisted that 1t should be
waged at the expense of the poor and
to the profit Of the plutocrats. Taxes
are to be increased on the necessities
Of the people, but no additional burdens
shall be levied upon the luxuries of the
rich or upon the enormous incomes OF
the millionaires and trusts. And we
must provide further for the war fund
by issuing bonds upon which the peo-.
pie will have to pay interest for gen.
erations.

The departure of the United States
