A Progressive Candidate,

Congressman Maguire's nom
ination for governor of Cali.
fornia, gives assurance of a live
campaign in that monopoly
ridden state. Whether the
people or the railroads own
California, would be an open
question were it not so plain
that the state is owned by the
railroads. But the people have
a chance now to assert their
independence of this monopoly
by voting for Mcguire.
Under Maguire's idea of
taxation, farmers would paw
no taxes on their buildings
and other improvements; they
would pay no more on their
produce and other personal
property; they would pay none
in the price of their store
goods, whereby they are now
taxed amazingly; and they
would pay none on their land,
unless it had a value as bare
land. Even then they would
pay upon it not by the acre,
but according to its value.
For illustration: Let a Cali.
fornia farmer imagine that all
his improvements were swept
away by some great catastro.
phe; what would his land be
worth? Whatever that would
be, that would be the basis of
his tax. Now let him mag.
inc that the improvements of a
great ranch were swept away;
what would be the value of
that land? Whatever it
would be, that would be the
basis of the owners tax. Once
more, let him remember that
all the vast landed holdings of
railroad magnates in Califor.
mia, holdings of great value,
which are kept out of use in
order to strengthen railroad
monopoly, would be taxed the
