Editor Providence News:
The enclosed letter calls attention TO
n matter OF vital Importance II is an
outrage, as stated thereSn, that a citi-
zen should be imprisoned for non-pay-
ment OF n poll tax. II any tax were nee
essary, that is TO say, II society had ex-
hausted its resources and found IL nee
essary to impose tax for the support Of
government. an equal tax upon every
poll would be the most equitable tax tnat
could be levied: but az long as society
allows private individuals to appropriate
those values which attach TO that, the
use of which IL the equal right OF ali
just so long Will society find Z necessary
TO commit such atrocities as the aoove
letter describes.
When you tax furniture. houses, cattle
money or wealth in any OF its varied
forms you take that which Is the aoso-
Lutte property of the individual and In the
name OF the state commit robbery: but
when you tax land values. you take that
which belongs to society, and cannot IN
equity become individual property; for IL
cannot be left in the hands OF individuals
without the robbery OF other Individuals
In the case OF the Pawtucket citizen, a
double outrage is committed. In the
first place he is robbed OF h.s ma tural in
heritance and in the second place he Is
imprisoned because he refuses TO submit;
to second robbery. Abolish the poll

Shopping Cards,
Packages, Luncheon.

Shopping Cards will be found of
much use and convenience at this
busy season. They save time, pre-
vent delays in making payments and
receiving change, and enable you to
pass quickly from one counter to
another, and pay at one time for all
of your purchases.
You will find it to your advan-
tage to take all of your small pack
ages with you. The immense, over
crowding business of the season
must necessarily occasion some de-
lays if not losses in deliveries.
The new Luncheon Room is al
ready appreciated by many Gus
toners who cannot get through
their shopping in the morning
hours. Those from the country
find it a great convenience, since
they may accomplish a whole days
shopping without leaving the store

The repasts are daintily served, and
both delicious and refreshing.
