A brain workers health is often in

the Managing Editor of one of the most
prosperous newspapers in the Middle
West, with Postum Food Coffee illus
trates the necessity of proper feeding
fer the man who depends on his brain
for living.
up to three years ago. writes this
gentleman, Il was q heavy coffee drink
er. l knew it was injuring me. 1t di-
rectly affected my stomach and 1 was
threatened with chronic dyspepsia. 1t
was then that my wife persuaded me to
try Postum Food Coffee. The good re-
suits were so marked that ] cannot say
too much for it, When first prepared :
did not fancy it, but inquiry developed
the fact that cook had not boiled it
long enough, so next time I had it prop
erly mado and was charmed with it.
Since that time coffee has had no place
on my table save for guests. Both my
self and wife are fond of this new cup
which cheers but does not inebriate'
in a much truer and filter sense than
coffee. My stomach has resumed its
normal functions and l am now well
and strong again mentally and physi-
cslly.
Il am confident that coffee is a poi
son to many stomachs. and have rec
commended Postum with great success
to a number Of my friends who were

AN ECHO or IT.
Story of Conferences Regarding the
Compromise.

Washington, February 4-(SpeoiaD-
Several conferences were held today
among the anti-statehood and state
hood men with view to arrivea at
some understanding on the passage Of
q measure to admit oklahoma singly
and the territories Of New Mexico and
Arizona jointly as one state. But nu-
Hercus details remain to be settled.
The fact that this IS distinctly a re-
publican move and that the democrats
are not being taken into counsel on the
compromise is throwing the latter into
g Wrathful state of mind and may find
them in opposition. They are willing,
however. to accept the proposition il
oklahoma and the Indian territory are
Joined.
This. they calculate. would give
them four democratic senators under
normal conditions as the Indian terri
tory Is expected to turn Oklahoma and
The democratic vote of Arizona would
be expected to overcome the republi-
can majority in New Mexico. They
are willing to vote for the compromise
on this basis.
This has infused new life into the
proposition to give the Indian terli-
tory statehood jointly with Oklahoma
which was a dead article Of faith.

the right to male common property of
ground rent, why not of every other
value that the community Greatest"
Value attaches to a coat because
there are others besides the maker Of
the coat who would like to wear it.
But none of us are makers of land,
though all are compelled by our ply
steal wants to use land. 1t is because
none of us can possibly make land
that we are all equally entitled to it's
bringing the potential power with us
to make all things needful for the sat
isfaction of our wants provided the
physical resources of nature are not
denied u.s.
Land embraces Ii the resources of
nature, and as nature is mo respector
of persons her resources belong to
each and all of us alike. Each of us
must use some lard in order to live
CT to labor. When each has paid in
to common fund the annual value of
the land he holds, the products of his
labor on that land are justly his with
out further taxation. To tax his labor
products then is the same as taxing the
spring and then taxing each cupful
of water that is taken from the spring.
1t might at first sight appear mat
ter of indifference whether we tax
the spring or the cupfuls, but to tax
both is plainly double taxation.
Now consider that the effect Of tax
alton is to discourage possession and
it becomes apparent that to tax the
spring will tend to keep it free to all,
but to tax the cupfuls will tend to
encourage the holding of the spring
idle till the population is so thirsty
as to pay the holder any price he may
ask for cupfuls. Without population
there would be no value in the spring
though the spring might exist. But
there would be no cups either full or
empty!
Shall we tax the production and
filing the cups? and shall we tax the
holding Of the resources of nature 50
that all who pay one single tax NAV
produce and fill their cups?

EFFECT OF SINGLE TAX ON
WAGES.

A distinguished characteristic of
the single tax is that, instead of being
a scheme devised to modify ineouita-
BILE artificial methods of industrial ac-
tlvity which now obtain, it is rather
a simple return to primary and lust
conditions which would have contin-
ued from the first but for introduction
OF the artificial as opposed to the nat
ural.
1t may at first seem incredible that
a mere change in the manner of COL
Letting public revenue should involve
such return, but when we consider
what effect it would have upon the
existing system of land-holding: how
1t would open up natural opportunities
Tor labor AMI the production of
wealth, making them equally accessi-
BILE to all men, and at the same time
secure to every man not only the en-
tire, untaxed product of his individual
industry, but also his equal share in
values resulting from social effort and
industrial progress, the significance Of
the change becomes apparent.
All the valuable land of our conn
try, together with vastly greater
area Of land having in reality no val
ue as yet, is at present held as the
Lrivate property of persons claiming
to be it's exclusive owners, while 3

IN RE WAKEFIELD.

Editor Independent: Your answer
to Mr.. Wakefield was to the point The
single tax movement should not be
saddled with government ownership
of railroads. While have no quarrel
with the many single takers who ad-
vocate socialism to that extent, and
may even admit that temporarily it
would, perhaps, lessen the power of
the main opposition to single tax, it
should not be overlooked that every
single undertaking that has partaken
OF the nature of socialism has been a
failure.
From the postoffice department down
to the running of small cooperative
farm colonies it is one long contin-
tous failure. The postoffice is only
sn apparent success; if individuals and
corporations were free to compete in
mail carrying and the government
lostoffice department were compelled
to conduct self-paying business the
latter would last no time.
1t does not appear to me to be any
OF the governments business to issue
money or to regulate the value there
or Let the government leave the
banking and money issuing business
alone and the latter will be taken care
CT as well as the laundry business. 1t
night be convenient to have the gov
eminent issue labor certificates to
those who render personal services to
the government and then accept these
certificates for rent due. However.
such minor matters can well afford to
remain unsettled until we have estab-
llshed equal rights to the use of the
earth-to life.
A suggestion to populists: What
would the democratic party do if the
popullst party declared openly fc1 sin
gle tax? can imagine the single
takers putting up such fight for you
That the democratic party would either
rave to fall in line or become the third
party in number of votes.
