Walter Wellman claims to have

contemplates- ......
First-To drive out of the pubIi;,
service Machen and Beavers, officials
who fell under the displeasure of
Wynne and refused to bow the knee
to his ambition to be the boss of the
postoftice department.
Second-To smirch the administra-
tion of Charles Emory Smith. former
postmaster general, and thus satisfy
the longings of his political enemies
Quay and Penrose
Third--to involve Perry Heath, for
merly first assistant postmaster gen.
eral, and through him, if possible, his
political sponsor, Mark. Hanna. who
is most cordially hated by Lodge and
Quay.
Fourth-To make so much trouble
for Postmaster General Payne that
he may be driven from office, leaving
Lodge in possession of the field as
President Roosevelt's chief political
adviser and affording an opportun-
ity for the promotion of Lodges man

duced by society, collectively. The
single tax would assess all men at
the same rate upon the value of their
land, or social privileges.
Those holding land of small value
would pay small tax, while those
holding land of enormous value would
pay large tax, but no more than
their privileges were worth in the
open market. This is justice. Equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none. This single tax upon privilege
Tor monopoly would raise a revenue
sufficient to meet All expenses of gov
ernment economically administered;
so there would be no need to tax
any form of individual wealth.

The Natural Tax

Economic rent" is wealth or labor
received in return for the use of
land" One may, himself, use piece
OF land which is advantageously sit
uated, and therefore is SO desirable
that others would give something for
its exclusive use, and by that use he
may obtain the added product which
the favorable location enables him to
produce. The wealth he thus gets in
return for using the land is rent"
Or, instead of using the land himself,
he may permit someone else to use it
on condition that the person so using
it does ascertain amount of work for
him, or pays him a portion of the
product, in money or in kind. The
labor, or the wealth, the owner re-
ceived from the user of that land
would be rent" When one buys land
and pays for it, the amount paid is
the rent" commuted, and if the buyer
does not pay the whole purchase price
at once, but lets some of it stand on
mortgage, the interest, so-called,
which he pays, is really not interes.
at all, but rent" According to Ri
cardo's law of rent, "the rent of land
is determined by the excess of it's
product over that which the same ap-
plication can secure from the least
productive land in use." This applies
to all land, both in the country and
in the city; in fact, the most valuable
land, that which will yield the most
rent" that is, the largest return
for it's use, is city land. Some people
seem to think that the farmers are
the largest land owners and many
farmers themselves labor under that
mistake. They seem to think that il
all other taxes were abolished and
only rent" taken in taxation, their
burdens would be greatly increased.
But the truth is just the other way,
for, estimating by value" by the
rent their land will yield, their
broad acres" amount to very little
and their tax would be corresponding
ly small. Estimating their land by
its value and not by its area, as it
would be estimated in that case. they
are not large land owners at all, but
very small ones. The most valuable
land is in the largest cities and it is
there that the rent tax would fall most
heavily.
Now, why should all other taxes be
abolished and only "rent'' taken in
taxation? The community can have
no rights not possessed by its mem
bers. If no one man has a right to
do certain thing, then no number of
men can have that right, for nothing
multiplied even by infinity is still
No one man has the right
to take another's property by force;
then no number of men can have that
right. Therefore, all taxes which
take from men their rightful property
are wrong and should be at once abol-
ished. But rent" is not rightfully
private property. The right of own
ership rests on production. Land is
not produced by men and therefore
cannot be rightfully owned by them.
All persons come into the world by
the same warrant and have therefore
the same right to live No one can
live without using land; therefore,
since the use of land is essential to
life, and all people have the same

THE BUGS AND THE BEES.
An Open Forum for Single Takers

THE BUGS AND THE BEES.
AS the farmer went round mid his
plants and trees,
He saw the bugs and he saw the bees.
"Oh! the pesky bugs, they'll ruin my
crop,
With poisonous dose their work I'll
stop.
But the bees I'll shelter and keep
alive,
With best of food and best of hive.
With With poison his trees and plants he
sprayed,
And thus the pesky bugs he Stayed
Each swallowed his draught and said
Here goes"
Then rolled on his back and turned up
his toes.
The farmer laughed in boisterous gle,,
"Requiescat in pace, O! bugs" said
he.
The farmer toiled from day to day.
He garnered his oats, his wheat, and
his hay,
With busiest might he toiled each
hour
To catch the shine or to catch the
shower.
In the human hive I'm a busy bee,
But pesky bug, well, that's not me.
His neighbors he saw, who dwelt
near by,
Raise never crop, nor goods supply;
But only sign did tell this tale,
To everyone, Here are lots for sale.
And the farmer said, as his ground
he dug,
My neighbors no bee, he's only a bug.
In the human hive there are bugs
and bees,
For some must toll while others may
squeeze,
While some are raising the wheat or
rice,
Others are raising nought but price.
While some like bees enrich with
their toll,
Others like bugs live only to spoil.
Then the taxer came with the SCISSORS
roll,
I'm coming to each to gather my toll,
The man who makes improvements
great
Must pay the most to support the
state.
But when improvements there are
none,
Wen place the taxes lightly on
The farmer stamped, the farmer
SWOre,
Said he, 'I'll have this tax no more.
This taxer amt worth bread or
cheese, :E
he don't know which is bugs or bees
Y ne had farm, the stupid plug,
He'd poison the bees and feed the
bug"

JUSTlCE-NOT CLASS LEGISLA-

The remedies offered for existing
inequalities of wealth, are numerous.
all centering in the cry, Destroy the
trusts" But how? By taking away
their monopolistic power? Or, by
placing them under governmental
control?
Inc first is the single tax method;
the second is socialistic.
! propose, briefly, to show that tic
american Workingmen and farmers do
not need any assistance from the na
tion~l government, in order to be-
come independent and prosperous. All
they ask is, for monopoly to get off
their backs. Let justice be done to
ALL That is the first step. Let that
experiment be tried and then see,
II there be an able-bodied, strone,
healthy American citizen so abject as
to ask for any special privilege" leg
lslation for himself or for his class.
There is not a trust or a monopoly
today but owes it's very existence 20
some special legislative favor, from
either the national or from the local
governments (Which favors are the
chief cause Of political corruption), or
else it owes it's existence to the ex-
elusive possession of exceedingly val
liable land. To destroy all monopolies
resting upon legislative favor is easy.
Repeal the laws which grant them
their favors.
In other words, let the national gov
ernment raise It's revenue in some
other way than by placing taxes upon

To drop man in the middle of the
Atlantic ocean and tell him he is at

more bitter irony than to place man

own earnings.-Henry George, in Sc
