in such dangerous condition, why
didn't he have it changed2"
1t was charged before the Grand
Jury on Monday that Mr.. Reed VIC
lated the Building Regulations of New
York, with having failed to properly
safeguard the hotel against fire, and
to have inadequately provided for the
safety of the guests.
These charges were based upon the
fact that there were no water buckets,
and that not even a foot of fire hose
had been provided, and the hotel
lacked to large measure means for
alarming the guests.
Fire Marshal Thomas F. Freel was
ordered yesterday to gather as much
information as to the cause of the
disaster as possible. He conducted
his inquiry on much the same line as
Assistant District Attorney Sanford.
Last night he said that he had dis
covered nothing that tended to throw
any light on the cause Of the fire

yesterday afternoon he said: 81 do |
not know as yet that any provision of
the building code was violated, but if |
do find that any have been shall |
proceed against the violator. no matter
who he may be. "
District Attorney Jerome reached
the scene of the fire about O'Clock.
When his attention was called to the
absolute absence of safeguards for the
protection of guests he said.
i am making a personal investiga-
ion of this affair. The New York
avs insuring safety for patrons of
hotels and visitors to public places are
strict, and if I find that
his terrible loss of life has been due to
my negligence or violation of the
aw, will prosecute those RESPONSE

The Single Tax Theory.

Editor Herald The Democrat,
party demands an income tax. Mr.
Bryan declares it to be the most jus
of taxes. The proposition of single
tag on land values is secuted as con
| fisca tory measure which would ruin the
| farmer.
The average farmer in the United
States owns considerably less than
81, 600 worth of land. This is exclud-
ing all Improvements in and on land.
and personal property. Putting the
tax rate as high as per cent. the
average farmer taxes could not reach
$40. The poorest farmer in America
probably pays more than $40 year in
excessive prices because of the tariff
tax alone. not to speak of the multi
tude of other taxes, direct and in
direct. Under the single tax the
average farmer would probably pay
not more than $15 per annum for the
support of all government from local
to federal.
Let us compare this natural tax
with the income tax. A few years
ago young Joe Letter, backed by his
fathers millions, cornered the wheat
market. The old man owned 20 lots
in Chicago, valued by the Board of
Equalization at $12, 412, 4SO The i'm
provements on these lots were valued
$3, 800, 80, a total of $50, 712, 100. Say
Mr.. Letter netteo per cent on this
investment, or 1880, 600, of which
$500, 600 represented ground rent and
the other $3.50, 600 interest on capita!
invested in improvements (which, by
the way, were the savings out of
%ho 10
Mr.. Letter would contribute to the
public $12, 600, as against $500, 600
under the single tax. Which tax would
be most apt to knock Joe out of the
wheat cornering business? William
Waldorf Astor's income is commonly
placed at 10, 900. 600. An income tax
If per cent. would hit him for $780,
