ANTI-BUCKLIN CRUSADE.

Finding that friends Of the BuckliI
amendment are forming secret leagues
for the purpose of making converts to
their measure, leading business men
of Denver who are opposed to the
single tax doctrine have likewise or
ganized, and they will unite their
efforts to defeat the measure at the
polls.
In circular letter sent out by the
anti -Bucklin league, the reason for
the crusade Is given as follows:
Colorado is tired of having every
new experiment in government tried
upon her, RI doctors try doubtful
new medicine on dog 1t gives
us al injurious reputation for eccen-
tricity.
''Our appeal must be to the intel.
ligence of the voters and to the in
stinct of self preservation in all prop.
erty owners. No amount of quibb-
ling can conceal the fact that the
Bucklin amendment il essentially
nothing less than the single tax on
land which is designed to accomplish
the indirect confiscation of all real
estate, Immediately or ultimately !;
not of unimproved lands alone, but OF
all improvements on land not of city
lots only, but of the farms and small
homes of the people Of the city. If
1t is adopted all existing values will
be upset and panic may follow.
The holders Of mortgages will scram-

comes worthless. Our long delayed
but finally rising wave of prosperity
will roll back. -
The fact that peither of the polite
al parties have advocated the Bucklin
amendment in its platform is refresh
ing to opponents OF the measure, and
it must be equally discouraging to
Senator Bucklin and his followers
There is very little probability of the
amendment being adopted ut the next
election, but those who are not car
ried away by this latest product of
visionary mind should not be any the
less diligent in working for its defeat.
