seemed possessed of the notion
that she didn't either. Van Dorm
denied the pinching and in defense
alleged that it was an object for
him to stay out until his wife was
asleep, otherwise she made life
unpleasant for him. He also claim
ed that the cussing that ensued on
this particular occasion was a
mutual affair. The court concluded
that somebody needed lesson and
handed it to Van Dorm.

BIG QUESTIONS BEFORE
THE WESTERN CONGRESS
Special correspo 1dence to The Press

Special Correspo 1dence to The Press
DENVER, Col. May 20-Presi-
dent Taft and senators and con-
gressmen galore are expected this
summer to make the nineteenth
session of the transmississippi
commercial congress, tobe held
here the week beginning August
16, the biggest in the history of
the organization.
The Japanese question, the eff
feet of the Panama canal on the
west country, the new administra-
tons conservation policy, ship
subsidy as affecting the Pacific
and oriental trade, and the en-
couraging of commercial relations
with Central America-these will
be some of the big questions of ma
tional interest which will come up
for debate at the congress.
These congresses were started
In 1891 in Denver and have
worked well in allowing the west
ern people to work together for
their common interests. One thing
recommended at the first congress
and hammered away at ever since
is the proposition of allowing to
each state control of it's public
lands.
Other subjects which will be
discussed by experts are irriga-
ton and reclamation, scientific
farming, statehood for Arizona
and New Mexico, parcels post, pos
tai savings banks, immigration.

Ed. REPUB. IcAN:-In my last, l en-
deavortd to show that because of their
conssrvetiveness, c%hurthmen were op.
posed to the taxing of land values as a
sole means of revenue Formerly men
owned the earth, as we'll as slaves, and
although the spirit of the church was OPP
posed to this latter form of property, still
churchmen tolerated, or encouraged the
moral right of men to buy and sell
slaves, aud I doubt if they would have
done so, had they not directly, or indi-
rectly, been he nefciaries of the priv.
legged class. They held stock then, as
they do now, in the sin of the world, and
they choose to preserve present defni-
tons of property, rather than risk losing
the dividends Of their incoming stock.
What is the sin of the world today? 1t is
the legal right given to the individual Of
obtaining exclusive possession of any Of
the natural opportunities FOR the employ.
n,ent Of labor, and this legal right is con-
sitlered by churchmen a moral right, and
because most of us hold with them stock
in this sin of the world, we are afraid of
the consequences OF a change, and we
heap ridicule. or misinterpret the pro.
posed remedy, but never offer an argu.
ment against it. Land value is taxed
now, the proposition is to increase the

tax until the requirements of revenue are
reached. Titles to land remain as they
are, and will remain as witnesses Of ab.
solute possession, as they do now, but
speculation in land will certainly cease,
and the only value land may have is the
use to which it is put. The standard of
wages will be the amount a man may
earn working for himself, and will nee
e%ssaiily increase very much. II, as we
showed in our last, wealth be the pro.
duct of the factors, Land, Labor and
Capital, it is evident the more you give
to one, the less the others will have;
therefore, If the enormous share which
now goes to Land, be used for the benefit
of society, the shares of Labor and Cap.
ital will increase to the amount that they
are now taxed, and this is an immense
sum-.
1t is then the private monopoly of nat
ural resources that make the masses
poor, and fills the road to Jericho with
the maimea and the dying. This letter,
| hope, may serve as a beacon to some;
but to Inc the message of Henry George
has been the searchlight, enabling me to
see the hosts from all parts OF the world
assembling for the establishment of that
great Divine event, to which all creation
moves-ahd for this, above all things, am
