Then the farmer gave him yard after yard OF
tail until even the monkey thought It enough;
SO gathering himself for a mighty spring upon
his snakeship, he found he was not able to move
out OF his tracks on account OF the great weight
of his tail. 1t is not more laws We need, but
the quick enforcement OF those we already have,

The continuance of the peoples Independent
party as a separate political force in the state
and nation, could and would keep the principle
of government ownership before the people. Its
continuance could and would awaken the pe0-
pie to the dangers OF placing the issuance OF
money in the hands of individuals or corporations.

Socialism and Single Tax

Los Angeles, Cal, July S-To the Editor Of
The Independent: There is ambiguity in the
fundamental proposition advocated by single tax
ers, though some of its opponents try hard to
make it appear intricate and absurd. It is neither
It is plain, simple, logical and absolutely just.
II demands the use of ground rent, and only
ground rent, for the cost of public necessities.
This proposition is either right or wrong, wise
or foolish. We believe it to be just the thing
to meet legitimate public wants without in any
manner infringing upon private rights.
Socialists profess to be also in favor of such
use of ground rent. But whenever we invite them
tc join lis In an endeavor to put the theory into
practice they decline, as we will not pledge our
selves to follow up the establishing of the single
tax by helping to spoil the good effects OF it,
as socialism would do If it's dream lasted long
enough. / have said, and | now reiterate, that
there never was, there is not now, and there
never can be- time in the history of the world
when one man did not, does not will not have
an inalenabie right to employ another man to
work for him individually, on such terms as the
two persons might, or may now, or hereafter,
agree upon.
If two men have moral right to thus CO.
operate it follows that any number of men have
a right to employ as many wage workers as they
hire, and on such terms as may be satisfac-
tory to the parties concerned
Not all the socialists in the United States
with thousands more fresh from the foreign coun-
tries to aid them, can ever deprive American citi-
zens of the natural inalienable, Godgiven right
to take care of their own legitimate business in
their preferred ways, provided they do not
infringe upon the rights of anybody ese

its energies upon incidental issues The remedy
for passes, rebates and all the other evils lies
not in the enactment of more laws. We have laws
enough If that were the cure. The strict en-
forcement of laws already on the statute books
would abolish all those evils If law can do IT.
Government ownership and government own
ershp alone can cure the evils of transportation.
Government money alone will cure the evils OF
national banking. The elimination OF these
breeding places of monopoly would in great meas
ure solve the trust problem. Ii the peoples party
is ready to go forward unitedly upon the great
fundamental principles which called 1t into ex-
istence, and not permit itself to be sidetracked
upon mere incidentals, there is great work for
it yet to accomplish. That it has done great
work no one can truthfully deny. Through its
educational work the people have been awak-
ened to the evils growing up in our country and
with earnest purpose they seeking to remedy
them. But If the party has no higher ideal than
to be the tail to some politicians kite taking up
the shbboleth of anti-pass anti-rebate, antitrust
or anti-anything else which happens to be the
natural out-grOwth of present system of trans
pOrtation, tariff or banking, then the sooner the
party puts its shroud the better II this is
all the mission of the party it would be far bet
ter for it to disband formally and permit the
members of the party as their individual judg-
ments might dictate to fall into the procession

Trusts will not be broken up till kingdom
come while the systems which bring them into
existence and foster their growth are allowed to
remain. Railroad passes will be disturbed as
long as general managers and presidents find it
to their interests to hand them out. Rebates
will be given secretly and otherwise, just long
as traffic managers find it advantageous to give
them. Trusts will keep right on growing and
fourishing so long as they can derive their ac.
customed nutriment from our tariff system All
this cry for anti-legislation does not, will it,
reach the root of the evils.

Charged 100000 For Six Days Work.
HELENA, Mont, March 23.-An
echo of the celebrated Boston & Mon
tana receivership case was heard in
the supreme court, when that body
handed down an opinion denying a re-
hearing in the case of James Forester
John McGinnis and Thomas R. Kinds
against the Boston & Montana but or
dering the case remanded to the lower
court with directions to ascertain how
much is due the receiver for his SER
vices, how much he did which it was
his duty to do and how we'll ne did it.
In other words, the lower court is
to determine what Kinds services
were worth while acting as receiver
of the Boston & Montana under Judge
Clancy's famous order.
Judge Clancy had awarded Kinds
100000 in fees for his six days SER
vice, but this was overruled by the
supreme court Kinds made an appIi-
cation for the rehearing, which was
today denied, but the former order of
the court was modified to the extent
that a jury will now be called upon to
determine the value of his services

MADE AN OUTLAW IN WISCONSIN

MADISON, Wis, March 23-The
Evans anti-cigarette bill now needs
only the governors signature to be-
come law. 1t has passed the senate,
% to 8. In the debate, Senator Bird
was its principal champion, reciting
all the well-known arguments. Sena-
tor Hudnall declared that the opposi-
ton on constitutional grounds was
without foundation, as the tobacco
trust had tested identical laws in Ten
nessee and Iowa and had been beaten
in the United States supreme court.
Senator Whitnead renewed his oppo-
sition of two years ago on the ground
that such law would soon become
ineffective because of public apathy
The statute books were already filled
with dead-letter laws, and this one
would make another. AS the senator
is president Of the state Y. M. C. A.
and leading Congregationalist, his
opposition caused much comment.

MANY KINGS MADE MILLIONS
GOLDEN STREAMS OF WEALTH

READY OVERLOOKING.
Rockefeller, Hartman and Schwab
Have Made Enormous WINNINGS
by Increase of Stocks.

NEW YORK, March 23.-Out of the
turmoil of Wall street, from which
stories of "frenzied finance" and in
f1ated booms are pouring with unpre-
cedented plentitude, there is also pour
ing a steady stream of money into the
pockets of those who have held on
and taken advantage of the present
bull market. So great in volume is this
stream of bank notes that it repre-
sents winnings beyond any but the
widest dreams of avarice.
One of the facts which has become
public property in the street is that
concerning the immense winnings of
William Rockefeller in Union Pacific
About fifteen months ago, when Union
Pacific was selling for about $40. Mr.
Rockefeller is known to have pur-
chased at least 100000 shares of this
stock. Many authorities in the street
claim that he secured a much larger
block Of the stock, but that he did Sc
cure 100000 shares is undisputed. 1t is
known that Mr.. Rockefeller has dis
posed of little or nothing of these
has advanced so points in value.
Rockefeller Big Winner.
Considering the fact that Mr.. Rock
efeler still holds the greater portion
of the stock, which he secured more
than year ago, ne stands winner in
Union Pacific alone to the extent of at
least s5000,000 In addition to his
holdings in Union Pacific, Mr.. Rookie
Teller is known to have bought large
blocks of other securities that are
steadily on the advance. His winnings
in the present bull market are esti-
mated conservatively at $15,O00,0OO.
Another capitalist who has profted
in Union Pacific is E. H. Hartman.
So great was his faith in the stock of
this railroad that some time last year
he borrowed 10000 shares of Union
Pacific at SIS a share.
Whether Mr.. Hartman would have
held this stock until the present time
had he been free to do so is prob
lematical. Actuated, however, either
by his faith in the stock, or by the
knowledge that if he sold it the control
of the road might pass into other
hands, Mr.. Hartman has held on until
the stock for which he paid 100000
is now worth twice that amount
Schwab's Gains.
Charles M Schwab is said to have
made 100000 in the last twelve
months. 1t is known that Mr..
Schwab purchased heavily of United
States Steel last year when everyone
else was getting rid of his holdings in
that company.
He has stated to his friends that he
is the largest individual holder of
United States Steel common, and it is
said that before he began his latest
purchases he held $4,000 shares of the
common stock.
BY the rise in Steel during the pres
ent bull market, Mr.. Scnwab has GER
tainly profted to a fabulous degree,
and while 100000 may be a slightly
exaggerated figure, it is known to be
near the mark.
