LESS THAN SIX PER CENT.
The beneficiaries of this unjust system
applied for an injunction and wiped
out the tax department, enjoining any
further examination. The assessor re-
ceiving 81 day, my friends, can place
a value upon a small home within $50
of the real cost of erecting 1t. But
put him on Euclid avenue, where we
dudes lives, and he cannot guess with
in $4,000 the value of single pic
ture hanging on the wall. The asses
sor when he places value on a man
sion, has $4,000 lawyer looking over
his shoulder, and it is needless to say
that the lawyer gets the best of the
deal, or he is dismissed. Now, we
gathered together enough homes and
small properties, whose selling price
would amount to $10,000,000. We
found they were on the duplicate for
100000, while Senator Hanna's rail-
road, recently sold for $10,000,000, was
on the duplicate for 100000, Every
one of the small property holders paid
$40 taxes to every 81 paid by Hanna.
In this group Of property holders were
motormen and conductors on Hanna's
railroad who shouted themselves
hoarse for Hanna, but paid Hanna's
taxes. Do you wonder that Cuyahoga
is Democratic? Senator Hanna was
ashamed of himself and he raised the
value of the railroad on the duplicate

HANNA FEARS DEBATE.
Referring to the charges of using
his high Office to promote business in
terests against Mr.. Hanna, the mayor
said that he had invited Mr. Hanna to
answer these charges on the same plat
form and defend his record. The
speaker told how he had entered Re-
publican meeting in Cleveland to hear
the speakers, but was asked to leave
by the chairman. Il left" said the
speaker, but three-fourths of the au-
dience, who believe in fair politics, left
with me-"
Just at this point som one in the
assemblage asked how farm lands
would be assessed.
MY friends, our Republican speak
ers say that single tax is saddled on
land. This is untrue, for 1t is tax
on land values. am believer in sin
gle tax, and hope to God that may re-
tain my health until the great Demo-
cratic party incorporates Henry
Georges theory in its platform. If as
the Republicans say single tax would
let capitalists escape from paying
their just share of taxes, the Republic
can campaign managers would be Tor
single tax Farmers of this state pay
half the taxes, but own only one-tenth
of the land values"
standing behind the platform. Are
you a Socialist" Senator Hanna"
said the mayor, says l am the leader
of the Socialist party, but the Social
lists do not agree to that. Inasmuch as
the Socialists believe in owning and
operating the public service corpora
| tions under the supervision of the gov
eminent,
l AM A SOCIALIST.
But the Socialists believe in owning
the shoe. factories, the rolling mills and
everything else, but I oppose this. II
we don't own the public service cor
porations, they will own us some day
THE worst thing that Hanna ever
did was when he lent his assistance to
| Boss Cox in securing a 44-year fran
chise in Cincinnati TO operate cars with
a five-cent fare for almost half CEN
tury. A franchise worth $4,000, 900 or

ported the steal.
