The single tax is but an applica-
ton of the principles of the Decla-
ration of Independence, that all
men are created equal; that they
are endowed with certain inalien-
able rights'' and if we do not deny
the principles, the declaration is
but empty noise. The single tax
will abolish all taxes except that
on land values. 1t will abolish all
taxes on improvements, thus slim
ulating industry under it, it will
be impossible to hold land idle. 1t
will prevent speculation in land,
and best of all it will destroy all
monopolies, for all monopolies, in
their last analysis. are based on
land. 1t would not permit any one
to hold land without just compen-
sation to the community; in other
words it would take the value due
to the growth and improvement
of the community for the benefit of
the people. That what the people
produced belonged to the people,
and who can dispute the justice of
that principal? 1t would abolish
all taxes on thrift and industry and
the Spectator and non-producer
would loose their strong hold.
1t would do away with the multi
plicity of our taxes and the corrup-
ton which is always attendant in
assessing personality.
The advocates Of the single tax
recognizing the unjust, unwise and
unnatural conditions due to the
present system, offer it as the only
logical and simple method of recti-
flying and making our condition
more tolerable, more brotherly and
more Christian. 1t will sweep the
cause of poverty from our rich end
bounteous land take away the
power of a few men to own the
bread and souls of others; give to
those who produce, the things they
produce and take away the power
to exploit the masses. 1t is ac-
knowledged by all our foremost
thinkers, that poverty is the cause
of nearly all crime. If this is SO,
and it is n reasonable conclusion
our first duty is to remove it.
Much is said about stock gamb-
ling, horse racing and card playing,
as a great evil, but these are but
mere amusements as compared with
gambling in land, which analysed
is the specializing in the lives and
destiny of men. Chattel slavery
was but a coarse and crude way of
controlling and appropriating the
products of the labor Of others.
To day, the same object is accomp-
lished by the monopolization of
land. Land monopoly is the curse
of Ireland and India. This is the
cause Of their poverty. This is the
cause of their bondage.
There are some who oppose every
reform, regardless of its purpose or
justice. They are actuated by pure
ly selfish motives. The price of
stocks or bonds are uppermost in
their minds. But they are a small
minority. There are some things
that may befall a nation, worse
than the loss Of power and COM
mercial prestige.

Idaho Mining Investments.

| N0'O "'ip'i9 su"OoS'bO'iSS'
Those who put their money into
eastern industrial securities in re-
cent years have had much reason to
regret their action. In a great
number OF instances the invest
ments have been lost, in whole or
in part, the aggregate losses being
enormous. This has a tendency
to curtail all manner ofinvestments
making it harder to secure capital
for any enterprise.
Perhaps the mining business will
be affected by these conditions, but,
If investors could understand the
situation, it would be easier to Sc
cure funds for legitimate operations.
Mining has been reduced more near
~ to science than ever before and
there is no reason why Investments
should not be made with reasonable
certainty Of securing profits with
regularity.
II we can get rid of what is
termed the "hOt air" kind of pro-
motion, gold mining should at
tract all the capital needed. In
Idaho we have unbound gold re-
sources, and every investor who
enters upon exploitation in the COR
rect manner may be assured of large
returns. Good properties can be
secured if the right kind of men are
chosen to select them, and when
such properties can have been prop
erly equipped and developed they
will pay. Moreover no fluctua-
tions of the stock market will af-
feet their profits; their product will
alwaps be worth a fixed price, and
the dividends will always be secure.
Men who understand the bust
ness make mining pay, and there
is no good reason why all invest
ments should not be made in such
a manner that all losses would be
reduced to such a minimum as will
always be met with in any business.
Therefore there is no reason why
Idaho mines should not attract in
ereasing interest as a result of the
uncertainty that prevails with
respect to 80 many eastern
ern industrial operations. People
do not want to put their money out
at three percent; they need to have
it earning more, and they can have
it earn comparatively large returns

The Single Tax.

From the beginning of time, a
few men have had control of the
land and the necessities of life.
In early times this was accom-
plished by brute force. Today it is
accomplished by cunning and polit-
ical intrigue and by violation of
the principal of equal rights to all
and special privileges to none".
And, we the single tax advocates,
conscious of the business and sound
ness of our remedy, offer it to allev-
late suffering humanity and APP
peal to the judgment of every think
ing man and woman to study the
same and see for themselves the
truth expounded by Henry George.
That nation which grants monopoly
privileges to few fol profit cannot
long endure. This is as true as the
principle enunciated by Abraham
Lincoln THAT q nation half free
