We hear again today from Mr.. Sam
Archer, singie-taxer. The Post-Intelli-
gencer has described the proposed con-
stitutional Amendment as the entering
wedge" 10 single tax; and no amount OF
wordy subtersuge. or technical argu-
nent, or ciamor that II means local
option only can disguise it's real pur-
pose. The proposed amendment does
not In terms mention single tax. L is
not necessary that il should. Neither
does the equal suffrage amendment
mention equal suffrage: bu; it would
he a quibble TO declare that equal suf-
frage. and equal suffrage only, is not
directly contemplated. 1t is not GUS
tonary 10 place in states organic
law matters Of pure legislation. and its
clauses are usually made broad and
general: and the crafty promoters Of
the pernicious sinele-tax scheme knew
that they mus. accomplish their object
under cover If they accomplished it at
all The form Of the amendment is ap-
paren;iy unobjectionabie: but It's scope
Is nevertheless almost limitless.
As we understand this correspondent.
he says the intended provision does not
propose single tax at all. If that is SO,
the single tax agitators in this state
have profoundly deceived their follow
ing into the belief that II does. and have
arrayed them solidly in its support
1t is idle 10 pretend that local OPP
ton only is aimed at. Behind and un-
derneath this precious local option"
scheme is the alarming menace Of single
tax. II II Is adopted. We shall without the
slightest question discover that every
municipality in this state is at once pre-
cipitsted into a violent sngle-tax agi-
tation. It might carry in some COM
munities and be defeated in others: and
OF taxation We should then have in
Washington. to say nothing OF the
viCiousness unfairness and great dam
age from the operation Of single tax
itself. This may appear to our friend.
Mr.. Archer, like an argument against
local option, as well as against the UNI
sopnd and unsafe doctrine Of vision
aries like Mr.. George and his followers.
But the local option phase of this ques-
ton is aside from the main point and
need not be discussed. The single
takers Of this state profess to be deeply
concerned in their anxiety that all
voters shall have an opportunity to say
how they shall be taxed. All right
They are going to have an opportunity
10 put themselves on record November
$. and they viii without question give
full and complete expression Of their
wishes: and. unless the post-Intelligen-
cer greatly mistakes. they VIII say that
they viii have no single tax Tor nu-
nicipal 81 any other purposes. with ar

From Clones.

Ed. RegiSter-Owing to the vast
amount of wet weather we have been
having for the past two weeks farm
work, particularly blowing, is at a
standstill. The peach trees are begin
ming to bloom, and we feel pretty safe
in saying the yield of peaches will be
unusually large. Wheat, in most To-
calities, is looking remarkably well.
The Receipts and expenditures of
Iron county for 1897" published in
the REGISTER of recent date, furnished
food for much thought. That the ex-
penditures might be cut down fully
one-fourth, is apparent to every close
observer. Our sister county, Reynolds,
is climbing, financially, while Iron
county can hardly maintain her accus-
toned equilibrium. Where are we
drifting?
Marion Crocker, of near Montana,
who recently purchased the "Beck"
farm from H. Latham, has removed
his family TO said farm, and is now i'm
proving the same.
A. II. Eaton, Foote, is preparing to
build = new house, which will be a
model of beauty.
F. NJ. Adams, Goodland, who is
frst-class carpenter, recently did a few
days work, in the way of improvement,
on j. L. Patterson's house.
j. S. Eaton. Edge Hill, whose stock
of goods was completely destroyed by
fire not long ago, has rebuilt neat
store house, and will soon have said
house filed with a choice selection of
goods.
Moses & Gunnet are gradually fill
ing their store with a choice lot of dry
goods, groceries, jeweiry, etc.
Recently the writer made a trip to
Montana, and while there stopped ov-
er night with Mr.. and Mrs. Jno. Bar
ger, who know how to make one feel
perfectly at home. Mr.. B. is meeting
with success as a farmer and trader;
he has now over sixty head of stock.
On the return trip a short stop was
made with Mr.. and Mrs. Jas. P. Bar
ger, whose kindness to me for the past
four years has rendered them very
dear to me. The exceptionally bright
faces of Master Lee and Miss Ada aug
mented my enjoyment during my brief
call. just before starting for home,
Mrs. B. brought in pan full of choice
apples. and said, '.just fill your pock
cts with them and take them to the

Pullers and Bakers.

Ed. RegiSter-There is class of peo-
pie in every town and hamlet, in every
state and nation, who pull back con-
tinually. They may be likened unto a
balky horse which the rest of the team
must pull along with the load. They
are the dogs in the manger who won't
eat the hay nor allow the horse to eat
it. They are the barnacles that cling
to the bottom of the ship of State and
retard her progress. If asked to lead
or assist in any good work. they will
never have time, but will always be on
hand to find fault with the leader
Start an enterprise of any kind and
they will jump on it with both feet.
They are insulted if you praise some
one in their presence. If, by great
persuasion, you succeed in getting
them to embark in some laudable I'M
dertakiug, they grumble, growl and
pull back continually. A community
that has very large per cent. of this
class OF people is in most woeful con
dition. You will never hear their
voices lifted for the public good, but
they are ever ready to ascribe evil
motions to those who give literally of
their time and money for the public
welfare. They are ever riding the
wheels of the car of progress, holding
back with all their power. One of
them can destroy the work of two
philanthropists. They are always con-
sentative, never willing to embark
upon any new venture until some one
away from home has demonstrated its
utility. A certain writer divides the
people into two classes-those who
lift, and those who lean. They should,
however, be divided into those who
pull and those who balk.
They are found, as l said, in LIES every
walk,
The people who pull and the people who
balk;
Where ever you go you will find the worlds
masses
Divided into these two classes
And oddly enough It's no idle talk
For every one puller there are many that talk.
In which class are your are you pulling the
lead
With the over taxed toiles of life's rugged
road?
Or are you baker to add to the care
Of those who are willing the burden to bear?

Since my last letter to the REGISTER
Rev. Mr.. Calvert, Belleview. held a

point; and while there were no con-
versions, it is to be hoped that much
good may yet result from his efforts.

he surely has been truly "called to the
