STORY OF THE FIRST DAYS FIGHT

Brief Details from Russian Source-Japs
Make Bad Error.
London, Aug. 3l-A dispatch from
Liaoyang to a news agency, dated
Aug 30, says: 1.-THE japanese artil-
lery fire only ceased at o'clock this
evening. The casualties have not vet
been ascertained. The Third Russian
corps repulsed hot Japanese assault,
the Japanese being hurled back by
bayonet charges, first by the Twenty
third and then by the Twenty-f fourth
regiments, which received and repulsed
the enemy no less than six times.
1.-TWO Japanese companies which sue
ceeded in occupying a Russian posi-
ton were mistaken for Russians and
annfhilated by Japanese artillery fire.
AT 4 O'Clock in the afternoon the jap
anese concentrated their fire on a Rus
sian southern detachment, and also
tried to outfank the detachment from
the right under the protection of the
batteries.
"One company after another was no.
ticed running swiftly to the westward
in an attempt to outfank the positions,
but Russian regiment and a battery
were ordered to advance and succeed
ed in forcing the enemy to retreat in
disorder, evacuating positions they
prev iously had gained. There has been
an immense expenditure of ammuni-
ton throughout the day, especially on
the southern front against the Rus
sian Third corps.
1T is believed that the Russian
losses so far have not been very heavy
except to the regiments which sus-
tanned bayonet charges. All the men
serving one Russian gun except one
were killed by shrapnel. The survivor,
who was badly wounded. heroically
brought his gun to headquarters, and

Their official details beyond the two
brief kilograms given out in the after
noon have been received by the war
office. Every confidence is expressed
IN General Kuropatkin's ability to
meet the Japanese assault on ground
of his own choosing, but the city is
hungrily awaiting further news of the
progress Of the fight The Japanese
forces enga ged in this battle can only
be estimated here, but they are be-
l1eved to number about 100000 men.
General Kuropatkin is known to have
six army corps, besides lat squadrons
of cavalry, bringing up the Russian
total to about the same number as the
Japanese.

The INDEPENDENT RIGHT,

Mr.. Kiefer is right in pointing out,
in the Nebraska Independent of March
"a, that Mr.. De Hart does not compre-
bend the single tax. His calling it an
internal tax upon wealth" shows this.
But the editor is also right in letting
Mr.. De Hart have his say in favor of
protection. His articles are doubtless
a relief to him, and they probably do
an infinitesimai amount of harm in
the columns of The Independent. In
the same number Mrs. Eliza Stowe
Twitchell has good paper on Farm
ers and the Single Taxi. H. D., in

WHO WILL PAY IT?

Editor Independent: In an editorial
commenting upon the single tax meas
ure recently passed by the English
house of commons you give evidence of
an extraordinary devotion to the mon
ey question, and corresponding lack
Of logic concerning the operation of
land value tax, such as these En-
glishmen propose. You state the case
plainly as follows: "The Boer war
has put such debt upon England that
some new source of taxation must be
found" and this single tax measure
has been adopted in lieu OF tariff taxes
upon foods. Now, reasons "Mr. Edi-
tor" the taxes will have ITO be paid
and the money will have to be earned
to do it. Who will earn the money!"
That's easy, Mr.. Editor. The money
will have to be earned by those who
use the land, as it Is earned now, but
today it is paid to sir John and His
Grace who use it for their own ex-
elusive benefit. The workers have
been paying this tax all the time, but 1t
has not gone into the common treas
ury. 1t has gone to support an idle
aristocracy Hereafter (if the meas
ure passes the house Oh lords, which
1t never wilD, it will go to pay the
English war debt and Sir John and
His Grace will have that much less.
Now If the land is not being used, Sir
John will have to draw upon his bank
account or hustle around for tenant.
Furthermore, If he cannot find q ten
ant he may do with it what most peo-
pie do with white elephants" Let
it go. Sir Johns revenue from land
will disappear, rentals will come
down, vacant lots will be utilized and
the worker and Sir John will soon be
equals, with possibly the chances in
favor Of the worker.
Make a mental application OF the
proposition to the land In Lincoln,
Mr.. Editor, and you will. 'see the cat"

OVERLOADED WITH LEGISLATION

OVERLOADED WITH LEGISLATION
Editor Independent: II there is a
nation on earth overloaded with leg
islation it is the nation called the
United States say called by that
name, because there are indications
that the time may come when the
name may be changed to something
more in harmony with the imperial
grandeur of powerful empire.
The Corning (Cal.) New Era-one
OF the brightest and cleanest week.
ly newspapers in California-print
figures showing the approximate num-
bers of bills adopted each session OF
the California legislature, and also
by the federal congress, during the
past two years. The. figures are al
most nauseating to sensible man
OF honor and integrity, for he knows
that such stacks Of bills mean waste
of valuable time among legislators,
and needless expenses for which tax
payers must be robbed.
According to legal publication no
less than fourteen thousand three hum
bred and ninety-four laws were passed
during last year, by the various legis-
latures and territories.
AS for congressional legislation,
that, too, is poured out in appalling
superabundance. The number of bills
discussed, quarreled over and finally
voted on in the two houses of our ma
tional legislative body usually crawls
up into thousands. OF course few
Ia very few-laws enacted by con-
gress and state legislatures are good,
and perhaps needful at the time of
their being ground out. But thou
sands of them are either good for
pothing or absolutely detrimental to
the best interests Of the people.
Good or bad. however, 1t Is safe to
say that not all of them that were
Matched during the past five or ten
years will ever result In one thou
sandth part as much real. permanent
