destiny should always be in their own

As was said by great lawyer late
ly deceased, Judge Seymour D. Thomp-
son, in 1891 (25 Am. Law Review,
1881: "If the proposition to make the
federal judiciary elective instead of
appointive is once seriously discussed
before the people, nothing can stay
the growth of that sentiment, and /
is almost certain that every session
of the federal supreme court Will fur
nish material to stimulate that
growth.

Land Monopoly

Editor independent we, say that
land is a natural monopoly. and no
combine or monopoly can exist with
ont the monopoly of land. Take the
monopoly Of the land and the coal and
ore under the surface from the coal
trust. and where are they? lake the
land from the railroad trust and how
long can it exist? And SO OF every
other monopoly that exists. It must
have a foothold on the earth,
Now as we understand it. the single
tax does not propose to take the title
deed from anyone who possesses the
land but it proposes to make every
land-holder pay a tax which we cali
an economic rent on the land occupied,
exclusive of all building or improve
ment. and this we claim is just and
right. The land and what is beneath
the soil does not and, never did be-
LONG TO any single individual; and no
One hssn-an~Axclusive right to foot
Of land, and IT Is sn4ssiAst- and right
that he should pay into the c0l1nsess
treasury for all benefits derived from
the exclusive use OF the land.
/ On the other hand it is not just or
right to tax property or any product
of labor for the public benefit. What
produce or make by my labor is just
ly mine by right, and no one has
right to take it, or any part OF it, from
me. This is done by the government
when it takes for revenue duties on
! imported goods or levies tax on the
manufacture or sale of liquors, tobac-
co or anything else. This is not only
unjust to the persons thus taxed but
discriminating and unfair. 1t is the
worst form of "class legislation and
has been the prime means of building
up these great monopolies Or trusts.
A license tax is not only unjust and
discriminative, but it makes the gov
ernment a partner in the business, in
that the authority for the payment OF
certain sum of money grants the
right or privilege to the party of the
/ first part to do certain things that
would not be allowed by the people
otherwise.
Under a single tax there will be nc
necessity for any other tax; for a
/ tax on all the occupied land will fur
nish a sufficient revenue for all ma
tional, state, municipal and other pur-
poses without property tax, or tax
on any industry. This tax would be
on the valuation of the land exclusive

The Independent has from time to
time written articles regarding hail
insuran. and hail insurance COM
panies. 1t is considered quite neces-
sary for every farmer to carry this
kind of protection to his growing
crops, a-d as it is in this seaso-- OF
the year that hail companies make
payment of their losses it will no doubt
be inter esting to our farmer readers
ito know that at least one company
(the. United Mutual Hail Insurance as
sociatjon, of this city) made payment
in full of its losses sixty days before
|taey were due. The company was or
ganized January 4, 1885, and has paid
since it's organization over $215,00O IN
losses. 1t is in a fiourishing condl-
ton and should have largely in
creased membership next season.
The independent., 1904-11-10

On what Is on the land in the way or
improvements. The minerals In the
earth which never were put there by
man should be assessed their full value
with the land; a mine owner would
then pay a tax not only on the land,
but also on the valuation OF all that
lies beneath the soil. He could not
monopolize the output of coal or any
other mineral, for anyone would have
right to sink shaft and mine coal
il he chose to do So No company could
get franchise" that~would secure to
:. the monopoly of the streets of any
city. to run it's street cars for any
specified time.
The power and influence of land
monopoly may be illustrated by sup
posing case. Suppose there Is a
great famine for want of water. 1t is
an extremely dry season; the wells
have all failed, and no water can be
had for stock or household use for
miles around. excepting where one
man has an abundant supply on his
farm. But instead of throwing open
his gate and saying Come and take
what you want he proceeds to build
a high fence around his we'll and de-
mands an exorbitant price for every
barrel of water hauled away. People
no doubt would pay it rather than
perish for lack of water or have their
STOCK die, but no doubt, strong threat
would be made of throwing down his
fence and taking forcible possession.
4 When there was a scarcity of coal
and people were suffering for fuel 1t
was talked of having the president is
sue proclamation that if the mines
were not started at stated time (the
18th of November) that he would in
the name Of the people take forcible
possession and run the mines for the
general good Man made laws can not
stand in opposition to natural laws.
Self preservation is a fundamental law
of nature. When people are suffering
for want of fuel in mid-winter and any
company refuses to operate the mines
to relieve the "coal famine they will
disregard all man-made rights OF
property and help themselves. This
was done right here in Illinois. When
= the people of Arcola were destitute OF
sle0al they went In q body led by the
!, mayof, az i ss-sxaen and preachers, and

Prices Abroad Go Down 1A@

\ Loses Only Fraction.
Belief that Selling in Liverpool
from This Side Caused
Weakness.
Receipts Larger Northwest, but
Very Light in the South
west.

Minneapolis Chamber Of Commerce, Dec. 90
The bulls were surprised in no small degree when
they the Liverpool wheat cables come In this
morning n 01sad lower. In view of the strength
here yesterday there was the hope that the LlV-
erpool market would take turn for the better,
Tor prices there have been saggtng OF by bits
for several days. 1t was about time Tor at
least some little advance to be shown, bus on the
contrary, Liverpool went down, scoring loss
equal to decline of 1aG1Ec in American figures
Against this surprising drop the Minneapolis
market was firm. May opened an even cent lower
at 81 1875 @11S, but was back up to $1.12B
before long. The trade knew of nothing to war
very favorable news from Argentine as to crop
prospects, but the cable udvices from Argentine
to American grain firms direct have not indicat-
ed any change and the Argentine situation Is
viewed as stu uncertain. The impression was
received that the Liverpool market had been
weakened by selling from the American side
The big bear items Of the day were the Increase
in Minneapolis stocks, amounting 10 far this
week to 600 bu. and larger receipts ut Du-
luth. where. against DC ears ayear ago, there
were at today, and at Winnipeg. where s44
cars turned up against t63 a year nso. Mime

with s2s, but In today's run we're % cars Cana

ever. for the comparison there was almost SEN
sational. showing only OF 900 bu against 543 900
year ago Sc. Louis getting %, 900 AGAINST t4,'
600, and Kansas City $4,000 against 80S,OOO.
One thing being now talked about more than
before Is the quality of the -four being produced
this year The assertion comes from Chicago and
meets confirmation in part from Duluth that
-four has been turned back to some mills or
account of failure to stand test. Nothing of the
sort has been heard Of here, and 1t is extremely
unlikely that any such trouble VIII arise, al
Minneapolis millers will keep up the quality OF
their product at any cost. In outside mills
however, too much low grade wheat Is said tt
have been used and millers have found that they
cannot give satisfaction and must use a larger
proportion Of good wheat.
The Russian official crop report. Issued Dec
IS, states that the condition of the winter crol
is generally not quite satisfactory in the south
west. but in Kuban the condition is good. Il
parts Of the steppes in parts Of central Russi
and In the north Qess importantly the condition
Is medium. and in the southeast and parts Of tn
