Henry George Urges Postal Savings
Banks.

Henry George Jr was the princi-
pal speaker at the single tax confer
enceat Murray Hill Lyceum at New
York Monday right. Others who
spoke were Mayor Brand Whitlock
Of Toledo, Ohio, Raymond Robins
of Chicago and William Lloyd Gar
rison.
I Mr.. George prefaced his remarks
with a discussion of the late financial
upheaval, and as remedy for cur
rency stringency advocated the postal
savings banks system. Even this,
however, or any other elastic curren-
y plan, would not prevent business
depression he said, because the
cause of such depressions goes deep
er-goes to the root of production,
the land"
The two fundamental, primary fac
tors in production" continued Ms.
George, ''are the natural factor, land,
and the human factor, labor; and
whatever touches either of these goes
to the seat of business activity be-
cause it reahes the foundation of all
production. In all times of prosper
ity speculation is a-foot, and of all
forms of speculation that which is
most far-reaching and important is in
land
How prevent these depressions?
By preventing land speculation How
prevent land speculation? By taxa
ton Lift all the tax burdens from
labor and the fruits of production
and pile them on land values regard
less of improvements-on ground or
economic rent. That would destroy
land speculation-kill land monopoly.
The price of land could not then
mount to eat out industrial pros
perity; and an industrial depression
in what should be country of plentv
for all would thenceforward be a
thing of the past"

Roosevelt Invites Powwow of States.

Presiden Roosevelt has invited the
tories to meet him et the. White
House May 13, IA and Is next to
discuss the question of means to con-
serve the natural resources OF the
country. Invitations are 10 be ex-
tended 10 the members of both
Houses of Congress and TO the, In
land Waterways Commiss on. The
importance and manner in which the
subject IS to be considered are indi-
ca:ed in the Presidents letter TO the
Governors, which was made pubic at
the White House Sunday. The let
ter follows:
''The natural resources Of the ter
Titory of the United States were, at
the time of settlement, richer more
varied and rlore available than those
of other equal area on the surface of
the earth The development OF these
resources has given us for more than
century rate OF increase OF popu-
lation and wealth undreamed of by
the men who founded our Govern
ment and without parallel in history.
1t is obvious that the prosperity
which we now enjoy rests directly
upon these resources
''In view of these evident facts ii
seems to me it is time for the coun-
try to take account of its natural re-
sources, and TO inquire how long they
are likely TO last We are prosperous
now; we should not forget that it
will be just as important to our de-
scendants to be prosperous in their
time as it is to us to be prosperous
IN our time
Matters TO be considered at this
conference are not confirmed to any
region, or group of states, but are of
vital concern to the Nation as a
whole and TO all the people. Those
subjects include the use and conser-
vation OF the mineral resources OF the
land and the resources of the waters
IN every part OF our territory.
I'm order to open discussion, /
shall invite a few recognized author
tiles to present brief descriptions of
actual facts and conditions, without
argument. leaving the conference TO
deal with each topic as 1T may elect.
The members of the Inland Water
wavs Commission will be present, IN
order to share with me the benefit
of information and suggestion and, If
desired. to set forth their provisional
plans and conclusions"

Financial Situation is Best for Three
WeeksA

improvements over the conditions
prevailing a week ago is reported in
nearly all Chicago banks. Messages
received by Chicago bankers from
New York indicate a much easier
feeling there also, and cities farther
West report improvement All things
considered, the financial situation is
proba ably better now than it has been
at any time since the clearing house
certificate rule went into effect three
weeks ago.
More banks in Chicago have sbeen
informed that return shipments of
currency may be expected in the i'm
mediate future This does not mean
that any big return movement of cur
rency is expected at this time The
movement of cash back to the finan-
cial centerS this fall is expected TO
be slow. of course, as Western insti-
tutions want it TO carry more than
the ordinary amount of reserves un-
der present circumstances The coun-
try demand on city banks for cur
rency shipments is insignificant now,
however, as compared with what it
was three weeks ago. and the fact
that any of the country institutions
are willing to return cash to city cor
respondents is accepted as a sign of
improving conditions. People in the
city of Chicago have become accus
toned to the new order, and bankers
can handle their business more easily.
a banker said that conditions are
rapidly getting back TO normal and
that Chicago and Western banks
would be prepared to return to cash
basis as soon as New York set the
example.
