said an upstate man familiar with
the many phases of the lake fisheries,
"it is reported that more than 1000
tons of herring alone were taken
That is by far the largest catch in the
history of fishing on Lake Erie. and
big catches have been the rule so far
this season in that part of the lake
On the other hand, scarcely any her

THE eastern water fishermen don't

and while they were hauling then in
by the thousands of tons during April
and May and getting a good many all
through the summer months, their
brethren up Sandusly way were not
getting enough herring to make It
worth while putting in their nets.
When fall comes, though, the fisher
men OF Erie and Buffalo know enough
TO take their nets out, and then the
Sandusky fishermen begin to put
theirs In.
THE reason for this Is that in the
fall the herring move away from the
eastern waters for the spawning
grounds around Bass island and fur
ther west.
"The herring of Lake Erie, by the
way, is the standard of quality for
all the other lakes. II Is finer and

ing supposed to be a lesser white6sh.
THE lake herring Is a wonderful
variety OF the plscatoral family. In
spite OF the thousands and thousands
of tons of them that are netted in
Lake Erie every year they seem TO
be as numerous as ever This Is un.

"A situation similar 20 The herring's

Why Mark Twain Was Popular.

tFrom George AIDES Mark Twain as
Our Emissary' in Dec. CenturyD
Mark Twain had a large following
Of admirers who came TO regard
themselves as his personal friends.
Many of them he never met Most of
them never saw him. All of them
ielt a certain relationship and were
lGttered by it. Men and women in all
)arts of our outspread domain the
men especially. cherished a private
affection for him They called him
by his first meme. which is the surest
nrOof of abiding fondness. Andrew
Jackson was known as Andy Abra-
nam Lincoln was simply Abe" TO ev-
cry soldier boy; and. as a later in
stance, we have Teddy" Some men
settle down to a kinship with the
shrt-sleeye contingent, even when
they seem Indifferent to the favor of
the plain multitude.
Mark Twain never practised any OF
he wiles of the politician in order to
be cheered at railway stations and
have ChautauQuas send for him. He
did not seem oyer-anXiOus to meet

The whole city is undergoing 3

Tie working people are building
their own homes.
1t is easy to get money from the

desirable class of property.
Best of all. the land owners are

that has made real estate transac-
tions very profitable. To build build
ings the people must have land, and
the new system has added to the pop
nlation so rapidly that land has been
in great demand
Furthermore men who owned land
and who could not afford TO erect
buildings to be taxed are now able to
put revenue producing buildings upon
the land, and thus add to their in
come while enhancing the value of
the land.
1t has been found that land values
maintain a more steady and equitable
basis, for no man is likely to claim a
higher than the legitimate value for
his land when he may be taxed on the
value he may place upon it.
There is no injecting of artificial
values into real estate by boomers,
thus impeding the city's growth.
Under the Mayorship of Mr. Taylor,
editor of the Vancouver Evening
World-who was elected on single
tax platform-the city of Vancouver
is demonstrating to the world that the
old system of taxation is all wrong,
and that the single tax theory, as
promulgated by Henry George is
proving a wonderful success through
its practical application

ABOL|SHES FINES FOR
IMPROVEMENTS
Canadian City Booms Under Rational
System of Taxation.

NancouVer-away up in the north
west-began some fifteen years ago to
work toward a practical application
of the single tax theory. Perhaps the
city fathers did not know at that time
just what they were doing, but that
is what they did.
Under present conditions. in this
country, if you build building, you
are Immediately fined by increased
taxation. If you paint your house, or
shingle your barn, up goes your taxes.
There is penalty on improvements,
the only way you can escape taxation
is by letting your buildings go with
out paint, let the doors hang by one
hinge, because if you buy another one
to take the place of the one broken,
the Assessors may see the improve
ment and make you pay for it every
year.
Now this condition, right on the
face of it is manifestly all wrong.
People sh0uld be encouraged to i'm
prove their buildings to keep them in
fine condition. They should be en-
couraged to take their money out of
stocks and bonds and invest it in fac
tories, dwelling houses, stores, or 9th
er buildings, thus creating home
prosperity.
So thought the city fathers up in
Vancouver, and they decided to try an
experiment to encourage building, by
reducing the tax so per cent on all
improvements The effect was magi-
cal. A building boom started and in
1906 they reduced the tax on build
ngs and improvements, another 20
per cent. The effect of this was
startling Stone and iron buildings
took the place of old shacks, and Van
couver in proportion to its popula-
ton, outstripped in building opera
tions any and every city in the known
world.
Then the people of Vancouver said
if what we have done has had such
beneficial effect, why not go step
further, why not adopt Henry
Georges theory of single tax? And
so, January /, 1910, they enacted a
city ordinance, making all real estate
improvements exempt from taxation
and levying taxes for municipal and
other purposes upon the rental value
Of land.
What we mean by this is. piece of
land on a desirable street corner be
cause of its location amid favorable
surroundings, might be very valuable
on an annual rental. While piece
of farming land would be only worth
what it's net income would determine
its value to be. So the more valuable
the land, the heavier the tax, and the
ess valuable. the smaller.
Now buildings are going up in Van
couver at more rapid rate than ever,
