ering Novel Proposition.
d. E. Park, of Pittsburg, who makes
his home in Ebensburg, Pa, during
the summer, has offered three Protest
ant congregations of his town $4,000
on condition that they unite and be-
come one church. One meeting of the
deacons of the three churches has al
ready been held, and the merger is
likely to be consummated.
1t is pointed out that the three con-
gregations-the Presbyterian, Congre-
gational and Calvinistic Methodist
could do a much better work were
they united. The Congregational
Church owns very valuable proper
ty, consisting of large edifice and
parsonage, several lots of ground and
two cemeteries. It's property Is worth
more than all the other Protestant
properties in Ebensburg.
1t is urged that the three churches
unite, buy property il the central
part of Ebensburg and construct
large church edifice. 1t is proposed
to engage a pastor at salary of about
$4,000 a year, an assistant at about
$1,000, a paid organist, musical di-
rector and choir The membe ship of
the church would be about 700.

War of Labor Unions Begun.

A test of strength between the Uni
ted Mine Workers OF America and the
members of local union known as
the Provincial Worlxmen's Association
at the Sydney (Cape Breton) collieries
of the Dominion Coal Company was
begun when the former organization
ordered a strike to enforce its demand
for recognition. The local union, which
was formed originally with the aid and
consent of the union. remained loyal as
a body, although some of its members
had been won over to the American
organization. The company charges
that the American labor leaders have
sought to divert the Canadian coal
trade. Stockades have been built
about the mines and preparations
made to prevent any forcible interrupt
ton of the work. Armed deputies were
placed on guard.

Catch Your City Young.

This is the advice of Franklin
Clarkin. writing in Success Magazine
Three or four Iowans settled on a
sandy beach in Texas to experiment
with city without taxes. AS others
joined them, the settlement formed a
legal corporation-quite as the an
cient Romans in Britain did-for the
purpose of regulating domestic policy
and administering powers of govern
ment; and as a means of checking up
government by public opinion, the
initiative and referendum was insti-
tuted.
After fourteen years Fairhope is
thriving happily. Land is owned by
the corporation, which is the com
munity, and is leased to individuals
for ninety-nine years. When one has
paid into the communal treasury the
annual ground rent of, say. S25 Cor
his leasehold, $50 down for installing
telephone (if he wants one)-that
is all the government exacts.
And in return for it there are three
free schools; a water system without
rates; public dock: library that is
free without a Carnegie foundation;
telephone system with absolutely no
charges within the county.
All these were established out of the
surplus from ground rent, after pay
ing the State and county taxes. and
the cost of administration and i'm
provements.
You see, according to this. there
would be really nothing supernatural
OF miraculous about dividend-paying
cities. Only an extreme sort of prac-
ticality. The main desideratum would
seem to be that you must catch your
city young, and thereafter protect it
from private exploitation.
