cooperative Land Buying

Land spectators have long since
learned that they can buy land for less
dollars per acre when taken in large
bodies; farmers and home-seekers are
j;,!st beginning to find this ont. In the
last few weeks several parties of land
buyers from Iowa have gone together
and bought large tracts along the Re-
publican river; when contract was
made for the purchase of the land,
they divided it up to suit themselves
and had deeds made accordingly.
The following tracts offer an excel
lent opportunity for several home
seekers to go together and buy either
of these tracts, or all of them. 1t will
enable them to get some good land
very cheap.
The first is a tract of 2,115 acres,
nearly all fenced; 1850 acres under
high state of cultivation, LOO acres Of
very best alfalfa land; some timber;
the Republican river runs through this
land: wells and wind mills, tanks,
Cisterns, etc. Three sets of improve
ments; two miles from McCook. Much
of this is good hay land. Price. $18
per acre. This piece Is known as
No. 1926.
Another track of 1850 acres decided
land and $40 acres of schoo' land
leased; 1.400 acres of alfalfa land
some now growing; 400 acres in cul-
tiyation; nearly all fenced; good i'm
provements; 600 acres of good hay
land, now ready to NOW. This ranch
is in the Republican valley, Is miles
from McCook and between two rail-
road stations. Price complete $4,000.
This is No. 1927.
Also an S00-acre tract. nearly all
fenced; 700 acres alfalfa and sugar
teet land; 200 acres cultivated: nice
grove, plenty of hay land. This would
make two or more splendid farms;
two sets of improvements; two and a

half miles from town. Price. $500.
This is No. 1923.
1t should be remembered that the
sugar beet factories at Grand Island,
Ames and Norfolk last year made
thorough tests of that soil for sugar
beet raising, which proved successful.
There is large acreage of sugar
beets in Red Willow county this year
and the prospects are bright for a SUI
gar beet factory at McCoOk in the
near future. This together with the
tire for Red Willow and surrounding
counties; and values are sure to dou-
BILE in few years.
For full ;nforma ton regarding the
above land or any other land along
the Republican river write to Weber

The principal reason why the sim
gle tax has not long since been much
more widely understood and adopted
is that it has not been brought to the
sort is what is wanted. There never
need be any fear from misrepresenta-
tion. Error cannot long stand in the
light of truth. No matter what sort Of
names are called. No matter who mav
misrepresent. If the single tax is
talked about sn ciently it is certain
to grow. When things are aid which
are not true there are always those
who will look into the subject and
the truth will be brought to the light

ovERTAxED FARMERS.

OVERTAXED FARMERS.
Editor Independent: There Is prob
aby no greater objection to the single
tax than the belief that ii. would fall
heavily on the already "overtaxed far
mers." At the same time some of
raost sincere and intelligent single
takers are farmers; still that does not
prove that the single tax is either
right or wrong. Even although there
may be ten honest, sincere and intel
ligent people opposed to the single
tax for every one in favor OF 1t that
Goes not prove the question.
The farmer produces the raw ma
.arial. and in some instances the fin
isked article for our food clothing and
shelter. and the Old Testament tells us
that even the king is supported from
the land" and while the question OF
taxation was being discussed in the
New Testament time decision was
given to Render to Caesar the things
that are Caesars, and to God the
things that are Gods" Tne king and
Caesar in our time is recognized as
government, and society acknowledges
that governmental servants are as
worthy of their hire as Others are.
I Where there is no government or bad
government the avaricious owners as
much as the most industriaus. Where
there is no government land has no
selling or rental value. And where
there is bad government the tendency
Is for the producer to proance and
have nothing, and the non-producer to
have without producing. Through bad
government the producer is frequent
ly relieved of the product Of his labor
either directly or indirectly through
. unjust taxation. Where there Is good
government, but very little govern
mental exercises required, land has
very little selling or rental value, which
may be very readily seer in farming
! districts, in such districts government
! has given little value and should re-
ceive very little tribute in taxes either
. local, state or nation. Take on the
other hand a large city where govern
mental operations are in evidence at
every move you make, here govern
ment has given great value to land by
public improvements; one square inch
of land in the center of the city will
bring as high price in the market
as a whole acre of good agricultural
land in many counties in the United
States SO that if the single tax pro-
posed to tax land by the acre, it would
ocme severe on the farmer, but as it
proposes to tax land values instead of
land it is evident that the revenue un-
der the single tax would be drawn
largely from cities and justly so, be-
cause it is land that government gives
value to and not buildings or stocks.
1t is not infrequently that farmer
has three or four times as much mon
ey invested in buildings, stock and
improvements on land as he has in
land, whereas city property tends in
the opposite direction, and having to
a much larger extent received its val
ue from government, it. should pay a
sproportionately larger share of the
taxes, including state and national.

 With railroad men 1t is regarded as a great achievement that these meetings were secured for Montgomery and Pen sacola and they are gratified that the business men of these cities are mani festing such 6 deep interest in the meet ings.
