THE FARMER AND
THE SINGLE TAX

Not long ago, a rainy day and a
washed-out bridge left a Chicago
travelling salesman stranded in the
hotel OF Kansas town. The drum
mer had 'seen the cat" and was dis
cussing the Single Tax with one
present who believed in and knew
it thoroughly. A half dozen farmers
and several business and professional
men wer present and listened to the
talk awhile, when the fat and pomp
Gus Methodist minister INTERRUPTED
them by saying: It would never do
In the world; It would ruin all the
farmers to have to pay all thetaxes."
"But the farmers would pay un-
der the Single Tax less than one
fourth, probably a fifth or sixth Of
the proportion of tax they now pay,
to say nothing of their relief from
monopoly extortion, which is ten
times greater than all the taxes" re-
piled the Single Taxer. = o..
A derisive laugh by the preacher
and loud haw-haws by the farmers
followed. and the former said: Glow
do you make that out, when the
farmers own nearly all the. 1and?'"'. III
The Single Tax would not be
levied on land acreage, but on land
values, and though farmers own half
Or more g the nations area, they

own only about ten per cent Of the
nations land values, and much Of
that is mortgaged,' replied the local
Single Taxer. ~. x.s:
why, man alive, you are crazy;
where and what are the land values
aside from ths farms what do they
amount to in value compared to all
the FARMS" exclaimed he of the black
coat and plug hat.
The greatest land values are In
the cities and towns, but mining lands
alone are worth more than farm
lands, and yield much larger net
revenue" was the reply.
Il cannot believe It; why, the
cities and towns really take up very
little land compared ;. to the whole.
or course some mines are quite valu-
able, but most of them barely pay
for working" replied the preacher.
The drummer. then said, do you
know that the land values of Chicago
alone are greater than that of all the
farms in Illinois, our largest and
most fertile state in the Mississippi
valley, and there are many other
and hundreds of towns in the state
whose land values must be consid-
cred. Ga
The minister seemed too dazed to
reply, but a. farmer said, what is
land worth an acre in Chicago? Pretty
high, I guess."i
"What should you think it worth
give guess" said the drummer.
'fOh, / don't know, but l suppose
it's awfully high; some of it thou

said. ..r

"Why, gentlemen" said the drum
mer, "you, couldn't buy enough for

going fifteen miles from the city hall.
Land is selling every day in Chicago
at from five to twenty millions per
acre, or at that rate, for it is not
sold by the acre, but by the foot.
Now figure up how many farms you
can buy for twenty millions. If two
thousand, the average price here, one
acre in Chicago is worth as much as
ten thousand Kansas Farms, and then
remember that in nearly every state
is one city, or, at most, two or three
cities, in which the bare land values
exceed that of all the farms of the
state. In Massachusetts,, New York
and Pennsylvania, the bare land
values of cities are twenty times the
farm values; in Ohio ten times, and
so on. Even in Kansas you have foul

The high art Of diplomacy, that so
well masks the innermost thoughts of
those who rise to the heights of an

cial intercourse between Baron Rosen

But to the uninitiated the part of the
host taken by one--Baron Rosen--
who acted as Russia's peace envoy,
lent peculiar glamour to the occasion.
The treaty of peace between Japan
and Russia marked the close of one Of
the bloodlest wars of history. The
dinner given by Baron Rosen in
honor of the representative of the
victorious japan goes farther, in that
it takes up social intercourse upon a
plane exactly as though war had never
been waged.

The Jefferson Bible. with it's beauti-
ful red Morocco binding, made no little
trouble in the House while it was a
single forgotten volume reposing under
lock and key at the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition. Now that it has been photo
graphed and reproduced in numerous
copies, the little volume has multiplied
care for the Senate. Hardly a man of
the ninety but has had thousands of
requests for the book, and more are
coming in by every mail.
1t seems that some enterprising bust
ness man advertised the Jefferson
Bible prominently in a well-known
magazine. He announced that it could
be had for nothing IL one would write
to ones Senator or Member of Con-
gress, concluding his advertisement
with the further statement that he had
gone to considerable expense in having
the advertisement printed, and hoped
readers would turn to his business an
nouncement on another page.
SO it is that requests are rolling In
upon Senators especially, for the pub
lie seems to have taken the idea that
they are more legitimate prey than
gentlemen at the other end of the
Capitol. Each Senator's quota is but
thirty copies. and the only good way
out of the dilemma appears to be to
print more, just as Congress has done
with the horse book and other popu-
lar Government publications. Better
send for one before the second reprint

No more powerful or terrible book

THE Jungle" by Upton Sinclair. 1t
seems incredible that such depth OF
human misery as the author relates
could be permitted even by the most
callous money maker or the most
soulless corporation; or, on the other
hand, that such vileness and filth in
the preparation of human food could
be permitted yet most of Mr.. Sin
clair's statements are from personal
knowledge and observation, visiting
the great packing plants, as he did
mostly in disguise. Moreover, his
statements have been abundantly cor
roborated by President Roosevelt's
special commission, whose confidential
report, containing descriptions of deg
radiation, filth and food pollution, is
too vile to print in newspaper.
The hero OF THE JUNGLE Is Jurgis, a
great, broad-shouldered Lithuanian
who gloried In work, for the mere sake
Of 1t. even if he had had no incentive.

he and his father had lived all their

city of Chicago. And after many argu-
ments and much discussion, he had
prevailed upon his father, and Ona the
sweet blithsome lass to whom he was
betrothed, and her mother and several
children and relatives, to emigrate to
splendid America, where man may
not always remain a peasant, but
where he has chance to improve him
