For this fiscal theory is theory
that would work in practice. AS a
matter of fact, every sound theory
will work in practice. A theory that
will not work in practice is not a
sound theory. That has often been
said. But even the soundest theory
will not work in practice until you prt
it in practice
This theory, however, while sound
itself, and entirely practicable, SO
practicable that it would produce the
most useful results, rests upon a
deeper principle than utility alone
1t rests upon the eternal principle of
justice. While We are prepared to de-
fend it upon utilitarian grounds, we
believe that the moral righteousness
of the proposition is in itself sure
guarantee of its highest usefulness.
Any proposition which is morally
right will prove to be practicable and
beneficial If adopted; and upon that
fundamentally, we rest our
claims for the single tax.

tHow Big Was Alexander, Pa, Up
to-date.)
Child
Oh tell me what's this Merger" pa,
that's frightening folks out west?
That governors try to kill it and
courts have done their best.
Is it deep-sea monster SO very long
and round,
That when it's head is in New York
it's tails on Puget Sound?
Father
It's the some old story, child, with
some new-fangled name,
That's wrecked the lives of all man
kind; its fruits are just the same.
Just now it's narrow strips of land
and rails from sea to sea-
It's monopoly pure and simple, IS
plain as plain can be.
Those who control these strips of land
usurp right divine
Which once was claimed by men now
dead, the Robbers of the Rhine.
With these land strips corporaPs
guard may prove more potent far
To wreck the lives of those they reach
than cen the gods of war.
Child
But, pa, do men who sing the praise
of fathers brave and free,
Mid plenty starve and die-as in the
picture here / see?
Do sons of sires of seventy-six, in ali
these rail-striped regions,
Fear more a corporaps guard than
they did all King Georges legions?
Father
Your query pains me sore, my child,
but you will live to see
That men today are nothing 10th to
prove their birthright free.
Our fathers served their tea quite
well-with pain and patient toll
Their sons may likewise prove them
selves by dumping" Standard Oil.
The trouble, child, is blinded faith in
laws by dead men made,
Encouraged by designing men who
thrive by this same trade.
But now bow of promise shines wide
DER the eastern lawn
A western tuneful lay to greet the
lark's note in the dawn.

Organizations

Although more than one hundred
disciples Of Henry George have fav-
ored The Independent with well writ
ten arguments covering all important
subdivisions of the single tax philos-
ophy, none of them have noticed the
editors suggestion that an article on
organizations and another ON bibli-
ography would be timely.
1t may be that the single takers do
not care to tell their strength. Yet
the sentiment expressed by Mr.. Weeks
would indicate the opposite. And the
fact that so many single tax organi-
cations offer free literature to all who
apply for it, would also seem to con-
firm the opposite view. In any event,
I have collected as much information
as l could from the various newspa-
pers and magazines, and offer the fol-
lowing. 1t is incomplete; but will
give some idea of what is going on
in the single tax world.

Notice.

To the Members of the Black Hills Min
ing Mems Association:
You are hereby notified that the regu-
lar annual meeting of the Black Hills
Mining Mems association, which should
have been held on the second day of
September was allowed to go by default
owing to the preparation being made for
the holding of the American Mining
Congress. At the last regular meeting
of the association, held in Lead City on
the evening of the 23d day of September,
it was decided to hold the annual meet
ing of the association coincident with the
next regular meeting of the association,
on the 2lst day of October, 1908. The
annual meeting will therefore be held
in the City Hall, Deadwood, at 8 o'clock
on the evening of October 2lst, 1908.
At this meeting the association will elect
a board of nine directors to hold office
for the ensuing year. Reports OF OFF,
GERS will be made, covering the work OF
the association and the receipts and ex-
penditures of money and such other
business as may lawfully come before
the association will be transacted. 1t is
particularly desired that every member
of the association be present in order
that he may have a voice in the election
of officers.

The Revival Of Tin.

The tin interests in the Black Hills are
looking up. The shipments of stream
tin by the linton Mining Company show
a better market condition, and the re-
cent strike on the Gertie mine by f.. e.
Johnson of a 7 foot vein of very rich ore
at a depth of 500 feet demonstrates that
deep mining is required and that the
holdings of the Harvey Peak company
we're never prospected. The business
was all done on surface showing.
The sale of the Dew Drop group by
Frank Meeker and Israel Bower is re-
ported to have been made to local par
ties. This property was located by f.
A. Towner and sold to the Harvey Peak
company for several thousand dollars,
known then as the Flora mine. Several
cars of the ore from this property were
shipped to New York and London, and
upon the showing a deal running into
the millions was made. The ore was
taken from the surface, the best ore ship
ped leaving about 500 tons Of fair tin ore
on the dump. We are informed that a
shipment of a small sample of this ore
has been made to various eastern parties
inquiring for tin. We trustthese parties
will be able to raise the necessary funds
to open this property, and its old time
activity again appear. This property
not being patented, was dropped by the
company as one of the inevitable results
of litigation between the New York AND
the London stockholders.

Tho Game Laws.

AS a brief synopsis ofthe latest amend
ed laws regulating the killing ofgame in
State of South Dakota we append the
following:
The open season for hunting and kill
ing buffalo, elk, deer and mountain sheep
commences on the 18th day Of Novem-
Der and ends on the 18th day Of Decem
Der OF each year. The penalty for the
violation of this law is a fine of not less
than $50 90 mol more than $4,000 and
Imprisonment in the county Jail for 30
days in the discretion ofthe court. This
law was approved March 3rd, 1903, is the
latest amendment, and is now in force.
In relation to the killing ofgame birds
the open season commences on the list
of September and closes on the 3lst day
of December of each year. The law pro-
hibits any party from killing over 10
birds in one day. The law also provides
that when more than this number of
game birds are found in the possession
of one party it shall be presumtive ofthe
violation of the law. The penalty is not
less than 5 nor more than 80 days in the
county jail, or a fine of ten dollars each
for every bird found in excess of this
number, or both imprisonment and fine
in the discretion of the court trying the
case.
AS to the law in regard to fish it for
bids fishing for trout or having the same

taken from the water when less than
seven inches in length.

Do Good--It Pays.

A Chicago man has observed that,
"Good deeds are better than real estate
deeds-some of the latter are worthless.
Act kindly and gently, show sympathy
and lend a helping hand. You cannot
possibly lose by it." Most men appre-
ciate a kind word and encouragement
more than substantial help. There are
persons in this community who might
truthfully say: "My good friend, cheer
up. A few doses of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy will rid you Of your cold, and
there is no danger whatever from pneu-
monia when you use that medicine. Ii
always cures. / know it for it has help,
ed me out many a time. Sold by all
druggists.
