" help; but limited means is the
present potent hindrance thereto.
If auxiliary organizations were now

Alas, we have not the organizations
sufficient to create any particular i'm

The land in Nebraska and every

A WORD FROM DIR. BARNES.

A WORD FROM DIR. BARNES.
Editor Independent: In your issue
of January 7 your associate editor
says, Single takers lay much unnec-
essary stress upon land values" Our
object is to get farmers to see that it
is value alone that we would tax and
that valuable land is in the cities and
that the farmers tax would be light.
The land in Chicago has more value
by five times than all the land in the
great state outside of the cities. A
friend of mine told me today that
he and five other men had bought a
piece of vacant land ten miles from
the center of the city, $50 feet front,
for residences, where not more than
one-third of the land was improved
for mile in any direction, and they
| paid $4,000 for it-less than two
| thirds of an acre.
Of course, by taking all the eco
| nomic rent of land as tax, land
would have no selling value. But
what would farmer who expected to
remain on his farm care whether his
farm would sell for 81 or 500 per
acre, If he did well farming? At
present farmer, to live easy, must
wait years for the raise in the price
of land and then sell. But the single
tax would put money in his pocket as
he goes along in life. 1t would raise
| his wages as labOrer and his inter-
est on his capital, consisting Of i'm
provements, machinery, stock. etc.
We try to impress the farmer with
| the fact that what he loses as a land
lord he gains as laborer and a capi-
talist.
For there are but three factors that
enter into the production of wealth,
viz land, the silent factor and labor
and capital applied on land. Now, il
the landlord is eliminated as a sharer
In the wealth produced. then labor
and capital must get all wealth as
wages and interest. There is no.
where else for wealth to 20 legitimate
ly.
At present the active farmer does
not get the benefit as a landlord tin
he sells. But the landlord who owns
and rents his land does get a benefit.
The landlord as landlord Is a leach

any equivalent in exchange. hut has

Your associate editor assumes that

exorable if his premises were sound.
He seems to overlook the fact that
"as a political organization the mid
road peoples party" has no legal ex-
istence in a number of states. 1t is
needless here to thresh over old
straw as to which wing is Or was.
ethically entitled to the name "peo-
ple's'' party; but the fact remains
that there were, and are yet, two
distinct and separate national COM
mittees, each claiming to represent
pOpulists. In Nebraska, for example,
Mr.. Parkers committee following is
too small to cast the necessary per
cent of votes to get, on the official
ballot In Texas, Mr.. Buffers COM
mittee has little, if any, following.
But both these committees represent
voters who believe in the Omaha plat
form; in other words, populists. And
if there was to be a union of the two
wings, a conference was the logical
proceeding.
The Denver conference simply gave
expression to a desire that the two
wings be united, which will be finally
consummated when new national
committee is selected to take the
place Of the two now existing.
The feature of Mr. Van Tines ar
ticle, however, is his suggestions re-
garding an auxiliary organization.
There is yet an occasional subordinate
alliance in existence, and in every in
stance it will be found that the ones
which lived were the ones that proved
of some pecuniary benefit to the
members. The alliance could not live
as purely political organization, be-
cause it was necessarily auxiliary and
aucillarysto the party which rose out
Of it; but if each lodge had conferred
some material benefits upon its MEM
bers, the alliance might still be in
existence as powerful factor. The
Independent will gladly hear from MIR.

Worried over business troubles, just
when they seemed about to be solved,
Harvey Perry. merchant tailor. at 915 G
Street northwest, killed himself last
night by inhaling Illuminating gas. His
body was found about 10 o'clock this
morning.
For fourteen years Perry was en-
ployed in the tailoring department Of a
department store, where he was highly
thought Of. He left the firm a year ago
TO go in business for himself.
The business did not prosper. On July
the bills for woolens, findings, and the
like for the past year became due, and
Perry was not able to meet them.
Through the instrumentality of Charles
Linkins, an attorney in the Mills Build
ing. an arrangement was made between
Perry and his creditors whereby an eN-
tension OF a year was TO be granted.
The consent of the last creditor. a Bal
timore firm. had been obtained on Sat
urday Perry going there in person. at
yr Linllins' suggestion. At this time
Perry seemed in the best of spirits. and
encouraged by the courtesy shown him
by his creditors.

asking for Perry. c. T. Neal, his cutter,

o'clock noon.
Just at that moment David B, Hill

entered the hall without receiving
any recognition from the thousands
of people who crowded the galleries.
The Tammany braves were in the
party which followed Hill.
Bryan entered Immediately after

cheered.

obtained, the convention call was
read. It was interrupted a number of
times by the California delegation
with its battle cry:

The Rev. John F. Cannon, Of the

offered prayer at 1912. All the while
the hall was rapidly filing with be-

Immediately after the prayer had
been concluded. National Chairman
James K. Jones announced the selec-
ton of John Sharp Williams as tenn
porary chairman.
The Mississippi leader, in order 70
reach the speakers stand had to
climb over a rail. This amused the
crowd.
The delegates, as well as the thou
sands which packed the gallery,
cheered the Southern Democrat TO the
echo as he mounted the platform. II
was a tremendous ovation. and quite
