Shall we then, as single tax advo-
Gates, say to ourselves, let us throw
down all consecrated ideals of JUS
tice and morality, let lis give up all
notion of an exalted mission, in short,
let us unhitch our wagon from the
star? Not necessarily. But 1t will
be well for our cause and for our
selves IL we will realize and freely
admit that whatever our real or fam
cied inspiration or incentive, 1t is,
and in the very fundamental, orderly
nature of things must be, and proper
ly, rooted in selfishness. So shall we
be the better equipped to sustain the
single tax proposition against its OPP
ponents, especially such of them as
denounce it al aD1dtopian or visionary,
and incidentally relieve ourselves Of
load of false, moist-eyed sentimen-

Quoted on egoistical lines, Or, what
is the same thing, on the plan Of
everybody for himself and the devil
take the hindmost provided only that
every human being is first guaranteed
equal access to natural resources, OF
which our planet offers such SUPER
abundance that even the hindmost
could roll in wealth If he cared to.
Belief in this superabundance is what
makes men single takers who desire
that governments shall assume the
function of guaranteeing and eEf0rc-
ing the right of each individual to this
equal access. However much these
single takers may plead justice, moral
ity or religion, their motives at bot
tom are purely selfish.
1t is possible to advocate the sim
gle tax on the solidest ground and
thoroughly to uphold the argument
If only selfish motives and aims are
set forth and justified, because selfish
ness is a universal instinct requiring
no demonstration, whereas justice,
morality and religion are not fixed
quantities, but largely matters OF
geography, tradition, training and per-
sonal opinion. Take, for example, my
own case. Although at present in
comfortable circumstances, | fear
poverty for myself and my children
in the future. The battle Of life, the
struggle for existence do not chime
with my intuitive estimate Of the
proper order / do not like poverty
and squalor, even in other people; it
offends me to have ragged, malodor-
Gus person intrude betwixt the wind
and my nobility. | am persuaded that
by the single tax involuntary poverty
can be abolished and every human
being enabled to possess not only an
abundance of the necessaries of life,
but as much as he cares for of the
so-called luxuries as well. do not
expect to live to see the single tax
in full force, but this does not take
away from the selfshness Of my mo-
tives. / want it for my children, who
are my flesh and blood, and for whom
am endowed, in common with the
wolf and the anaconda, with an in
stinctive parental affection. Even If
I knew that my children could not en-

were childless, would still be sin
gle taxer for the sake of the minor
betterments which may result from
the propaganda, and for the delight
which my mind experiences in the eff
fort to uncover the truth. There is
nothing but selfishness in my heart,
some of it altruistic perhaps, but still
selfishness.
Unselfishness, duty, patriotism,
heroism, glory, merit thrift, and
many similar expressions are simply
fetishes which have been evolved out
of our hereditary false training and
inverted social conditions. The cant
and gush which flow from them are
shrewdly employed by the egoist-mo-
nopolist in the furtherance of his
schemes for exploiting the masses.
Before the single tax in action they
will Danish as factors in civilization,

Single Tax In Nebraska

In Nebraska is found a striking ex-
emplification of the theory of the
single takers. In the constitution OF
the state there is provision reserv-
ing sections 16 and 36 of each town
ship for the benefit of the public
schools. Several years ago this school
land was withdrawn from sale, and
all school lands are leased by the
state, to the highest bidder, for term
of years The system has proven
successful and now hundreds of FAM
lilies are now paying single tax rent
to the state. Most of these lands
have been leased, although in the
western part of the state considerable
tracts yet remain. Decided lands car
be purchased at very low prices;'
leases can be made direct with the
state for any school lands not yet
leased and in many cases the leases
can be bought at reasonable price.

EATONTON ELECTRIC MILL.
Efforts to Put the Concern Into
Hands of "a Receiver.

Eatonton, Ga, Jan. 2.--Ever since
the Eatonton Electric Cotton Mill
closed last September as a consequence
of the failure of the Putnam County
Banking Company the officers and
stockholders have labored assiduously
to keep the affairs of the mill out of
the courts and TO reorganize the bust
ness. 1t seems that every effort will
fail, and the tangled affairs of the
company are destined to go through
the may and tedious processes of the
courts.
There are three cases now pending
before the United States court, seeking
TO have a receiver appointed and to
throw the mill into bankruptcy. The
petition for a permanent receiver was
heard to-day in Macon before Judge
Alexander Proudfit, referee in bank
ruptcy for the Southern district of
Georgia. The indebtedness of the mill
is about $4,000. Besides the above
cases against the mill, is one pending
before the state courts, seeking the
same end
Owing to the amount involved and
the prominence of the parties interest
ed, and the probable effect on the busl-
ness interests of the community in
case the mill Is placed in bankruptcy.
the matter is watched with intense
concern. Capt A. S. Reid is the tenn
porary receiver.

THE WEEK IN TRADE.
what Dun a Co.'s Review VIII Say
of Tt.


of Tt.
New York, Jan. Pr. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade to-mor-
row will say:
Despite the interruption of holiday,
taking of inventories and other dis
turbing elements incidental to the clos
ing of the old year, the past week has
been far from dull. Consumers were
not perceptibly lessening purchases,
while the approach of higher freight
rates accelerated the shipment of
goods.
Transporting facilities continue ut
terly inadequate. the pressing need for
fuel diverting rolling stock from other
classes of freight. New wage scales
have become effective, largely enhanc-
ing the purchasing power of the peo-
pie. The new year opens with every
prospect of exceptional activity in all
branches of business.
Railway earnings thus far available
for December show a gain of ~ per
cent. over 1901. and 1913 per cent. over
1900, while for the full year there are
increases of Al and 1915 per cent,
respectively, notwithstanding the
heavy loss of coal traffic.
The questions of higher freight rates
complicates the situation regarding
iron and steel, but new orders are con-
stantly coming forward. and the ac-
tivity of plants would equal capacity
were IL not for the fuel shortage. Quo
tations of all products in this industry
are fully maintained with a tendency
toward still higher prices because of
freights and fuel Textile mills are
busy with only a handto-mouth home
demand for cotton goods. but export
buying for China continues large.
Farm products weakened as visible
supplies increased. and reports from
the West indicate that much more
grain is offered for shipment than the
railroads will acceDt

in Florida and Are in Jail.
Tallahassee, Fla. Jan. 1.-Two slick
crooks, who have been working the
farmers of Florida for some time, were
arrested by Sheriff Pearce and officer
Dennard at an early hour yesterday
morning.
About'ten days ago two well dressed
strangers made their appearance in the
Moore settlement on the OklockOnee
river, ten miles west of Tallahassee.
They introduced themselves as ]. D.
Jackson and ]. c. Clark. and claimed
TO be representing Sears. Roebuck &
Co. of Chicago. BY their pleasing con-
Versational powers the men soon ingra-
tisted themselves on the good graces
of those with whom they came in con-
tact. and succeeded in taking many
orders. always insisting on a cash pay
ment to bind the contract.
Walter Moore purchased a buggy, for
which he paid IS down. His brother,
Thos. Moore bought a cultivator, plank
'pR down SIS in advance.
Tuesday afternoon DIR. George paid
a visit to the home Of Mr.. Walter
of the TRANSACTIONS of the two men.
He Immediately stamped them as
frauds. Moore became suspicious and
drove to town Wednesday morning,
when he telegraphed to Chicago for
information. The answer came back
from Sears. Roebuck e. Co. that they
employed no agents. and anybody
claiming to be their agent was
fraud. He then went before Judge
Whitfield and swore out warrants for
the arrest of the two men.
The warrants were turned over to
Sheriff Pearce and officer Dennard.
The men had in the meantime become
suspicious and when their rooms at
the Hightower house were visited they
could not be found. The search was
continued, however. and Jackson and
Clark were discovered hiding in the
hedge in Mr.. Hightowers front yard.
They offered no resistance when ar
rested but tried to compromise with
Moore by promising to refund his mon
ey and pay the costs. The latter refus-
ed to consider the proposition, and the
men are now in the Leon county Jail.
