The Bucklinites constantly assert
that to tax improvements upon land IS
to punish and fine the owner and
consequently there should be no taxa
ton of such property. But the tax
from which improvements would be
relieved must necessarily be imposed
upon the land. and of necessity that
which is unimproved must pay the
taxes which improvements ought to
pay. The fact is that what the Buck
linites term fine and punishment is
only just and police protection of the
Improvement 1t is the payment for
a service rendered by the county. and
there is no valid reason why the prop
erty should assume any portion OF the
tax necessary for the protection of i'm
provements from the ravages of fire
and thieves.
In the case of Wells VS.. Hyattsville,
II Md. 125, Judge McSherry says:
IF taxes be levied only upon land
the burden would speedily become in
sufferable. and the land would cease
to be worth owning. Such a system
would eventually destroy ownership in
the soil. and under the guise of taxa
ton would result in ultimate contisca-
ton"

Horace White, editor Of the New
York Evening Post, in reply to a let
ter addressed to him by the Anti
Bucklin Amendment League of Den
yer, writes under date of October 1th.
1902, as follows: In reply l beg to
state that the Bucklin Bill is not what
we understand in New York as local
option in taxation. The Bucklin bill
merely authorizes the voters OF any
county to adopt the Single Tax sys-
TEN of Henry George or to reject it,
whenever 100 taxpayers of the county
shall put them to the trouble of pass
ing upon it, but not oftener than once
in four years. l presume you do not
desire an argument from me on the
subject of the Single Tax. Therefore,
l will merely say say that if l were
a citizen of Colorado l should vote
against the Bucklin amendment, and
that if the Single Tax were adopted
in any county where resided | should
move out of it"
To the letter addressed to Mr.. Dana,
editor of the New York Sun, asking
him whether he supported the Buck
lin amendment, as asserted by the
Bucklinites. Mr.. Dana replied that 1t
was square falsehood."

The Bucklinites claim that personal
property, being the result OF labor,
ought not to be taxed, while land
not having been made by man should
bear all the taxation. Will any candid
man contend that where a man mas
honestly and in good faith bought land
with the savings from years OF LABOR
that his land is not as much the result
of his labor as the purchase money
of the land. If you have a right to
contiscate the land you have right
to confiscate the purchase money.

Hoyt Indignantly denies any completely
whatever in the affair or knowledge of
it. The telegram from Asheville, printed
in the dispatches this morning saying
that the girls repeatedly ol~uired for
Hoyt on their arrival, is fatty contra
dicted by the hotel proprietor, who says
it was another man they asked for, and
two kilograms directed to this man are

The Greensboro Record says:

The Greensboro Record says:
THE predicament of the man Bishop
who shot a Mr. Wilson at Charlotte the
other night, should be a wholesome les
son, especially to travelling men. From
the published accounts it seems Bishop
was known as an unmarried man and
was paying attentions to some young
lady as such, while as a matter of fact he
had a wife and family in Petersburg. 1t
is also said that Bishop, who comes to
Greensboro quite often, was paying some
attentions to a young lady here, but she
soon discovered that he was married and
the very next time he called he was
shown into the parlor and the young
lady walked in, told him of the deception
he was practicing and showed him to the
door, refusing to make an apology for
his conduct. Be sure your sins will find
you out, is a. true as Gospel If they
are not found out here the devil will
discover them; he never forgets.'
1t is reported by travelling men who
have visited Raleigh since the tragedy
in Charlotte that a friend of his, knowing
that he was not behaving right in Char
lotte in regard to women, urged him to
quit, that he would be found out: that
it would disgrace his family. To this
Bishop is said to have replied mo, my
family will never know of it, no one will
