let's call it so per cent to be safe
No, no. said Pierson, that's too low.
They pay more than 60 per cert,
rather than less All right, but to
be safe, let's call it SO per cent.
Now, Mr.. Fierson, want you to
tell me how much of the value of land
the farmers have in the United States:
Please take into consideration all the
valuable coal lands, the iron, silver,
gold, copper and other valuable mines
the water power privileges, the raj .
roads and their rights of way and ter
minals, including street railroads,
telephones and telegraphs, for these
are built on the most valuable lands;
all the gas and electric lighting rights
of way, built on land of great value,
all the city lots, some of which are
worth more Lnan whole county Of
farming land. / want you to take all
these into consideration, and then tell
me how much of these values in the
United States the farmers have
Mr.. Pierson replied: Well, shoula
say, less than 5 per cent l said,
Call it 10 per cent to be safe oh,
no, no; that's entirely too high; that's
double well, we will call it 10 per
cent anyway. Now, don't you see that
if the farmers are paying So per cent.
that if all the taxes were raised by a
Single tax on land values the farmers,
since they have but 10 per cent of
these values-you say per cent
would pay less; that their taxes would
be reduced five times? That instead
of paying one-half as now, they
would, under that plan, pay but one
tenth?'
I declare, Tom, never looked at
it in that light, and | guess you have
got me-
$50, I say to you farmers here to-
night, that this single tax, of which
I am proud tc be an advocate, would
be to the overburdened farmers and
workingmen the greatest boon, the
greatest blessing. the greatest God
send that any country ever knew. l

Today socialism is the term by

to be essentially true. and it's adop-
ton a human need.
This is their statement: The So
cialistic theory Is based on the his
torical assertion, that the course of
social evolution for centuries has been
to gradually exclude the producing
classes from the possession of land
and capital, and to establish a new
subjection-the subsection of workers
who have nothing to depend on but
precarious labor. The socialists main

RUN DOWN AT LAST.
Wheeler, National Temperance Lectur
err, Charged With Fraud.

MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa, Nov. -.
Another evangelist promoter OF the
Marson type, has been run to earth
through the efforts of the sheriff and
his officers in this county. Sheriff T..
]. Shoemaker is now on his way to
Canada to bring back Rev. y. j. Wheel
er to Marshall county, the scene of one
of his many crimes.
The arrest of Wheeler will cause a
sensation in temperance and. prohibit
ton circles, as he has been working
under the direction of the national
prohibition committee all over the
United States. The specific crime for
which he is wanted here is the obtain
ing from Mrs. Caroline Strain, of La
Grande, of $1,000 by false pretenses.
The officers have been at work on
the case for several months. Nearly
every state and territory was flooded
with circulars and photographs of
Wheeler and often he was almost in
the officers grasp, when he would left
w elude Them and the search would
again be taken up. Wheeler was fl
naIly located and arrested through the
efforts of the crown attorney of Toron-
to, Canada, he having been furnished
with copies of the evidence and indict
ment which was returned by the Au-
gust grand jury. Wheeler is also said
to be wanted in New Hampshire and
other places where it is alleged he
has been doing crooked work similar
to that accomplished in this county.
Wheeler came to Marshall county
and instituted a joint debate with one
Hon. Joseph Brown who, it turns
out. as was suggested by a local news
paper at the time, was a side part
ner of Wheeler's and was simply
straw man in the debate, but received
half Of the proceeds, as Wheeler
charged the prohibitionists SO much
each debate and furnished his own
opponent The two lectured or gave
Joint debates all over Iowa last spring
and it was while lecturing in this vi
cinity that he picked out and became
acquainted with his victim at La
Grande.
Mrs. Carolina Strain is an aged and
descrepit woman and became acquafnt-
ed with Wheeler while he was engag-
ed in religious work in that village.
To her Wheeler recited the wonder
full opportunities afforded for investment
in a cancer cure company of Omaha,
known as the Ovona company. OF
which he was president. Wheeler's
opponent in these exciting joint de-
botes on the prohibition question was

stated Mr.. Lee left Spokane last week
to seek employment, first gong TO
Portland. Not finding work there ne
came on to Walla Walla, leaving Mrs.
Lee in Portland. Her health has been
precarious since they lost their baby
q few weeks ago and in her state or
mind she imagined that something ter
rible had befallen her husband and she
appealed to the police. Mr.. Lee ac-

the newspapers.

with a characteristic grim determine
ton to give and seek no quarter, many
persons believing that the expose OF
apparently eXceedinly intimate ana
friendly relations between General
Wood and the notorious Captain
Bellairs" in Cuba, largely came about
through the instrumentality Of Rath-
bone.

TO champion the cause of Rathbone.
who has never relaxed in his efforts for
an investigation of his official acts on
the island Major Rathbone is expect
ed in Washington within few days.
still with the same object in view. In
cjdentally he may see Hanna, who IS
lighting Woods promotion.
The principal charges against WOOD
relate to his approval of the concession
granted to the Jai Alai company just
before the American evacuation of the
island The concession. it is charged,
gave to the company the right to run
what amounted to a great gambling
house in Havana and a very lucrative
monopoly
Following closely upon the granting
| of this concession General Wood was
the chief guest of the Jai Alai company
at a breakfast at which the officers of
| the company presented to him Il mag
niticent silver service which was
made in New York and was said to
have cost $4,000. About the same time
| Mrs Wood received from the company
a gift Of pearl earrings and a diamond
brooch reported to be worth about
$4,000. 1t is charged by his opponents
that the granting of the concession
and these presents had a very close
| relation to each other.
| Backed by Secretary Root.
When the matter first provoked dis
cussion, General Wood frankly admit
ted receiving the gifts and declared
he could see no improperly in accept
| ing them, as they had nothing to do
| with his official conduct. Secretary
Root upheld Wood when the charges
were made by Major RathboEe, the
secretary declaring that the presenta-
| ton was a part of the general eX-
preston of gratitude by the Cubans to-
ward the representative of the Unit
| ed States.
To have refused this. and other gifts.
| Secretary Root asserted, would have
been discourteous, injurious and unjus-
tifiabe General Woods action in
passing the silverware and jewels
through the Cuban custom house free
of duty was also declared perfectly
| proper by the secretary of war.
| Other reasons for denying to Gener-
al Wood the promotion President Roo
sevelt desires him to have will be
pressed upon the senate committee, but
the so-called Havana gambling scan
dial Will be the chief feature of the
| case against the general
