equitable provision could be devised.
It has arrayed each county against
every other county in the state in an
endeavOr tC eVade a just proportion
of state taxes; it has prevented sub.
stitution of gross earnings for proper
ty taxes upon those public service
concerns possessed of little tangible
property but exacting immense con-
lributions from the public Of this
Btate annually. 1t has placed the
burdens of taxation upon common
forms of property and permitted the
predatory wealth to practically es-
cape. 1t has clogged the wheels Of
industry and favored monoDolistic
wealth. it has prevented the separa-
ton Of the sources of state and local
where in driving certain forms Of
property into conCealment or out Of
the state. AS in Ohio, people in
Washington, are beginning to realize
its evils and are demanding its re-
peal. Boards of trade and other civic
organizations throughout the state
are now actively engaged in cam
paign for constitutional reform.
l could employ pages in tie cita
tion Of authorities and in quoting
from others in support of my views,
but will content myself with this
statement of my personal conclusions
and by saying that every student of
political economy and every tax COM
mission or taxing official througout
the United States who has investi-
gated and expressed himself upon the
subject is Of the same mind.

lished at Chicago. by Louis F.
Post. In the issue of July 28,
1911, THE Public" prints this

Making In Ohio"
Under the leadership of Her
bert S 8igelow, and pursuant to {
Tom L. Johnson's policy in Ohio,
the single takers of that state,
all Of whom are peoples power
advocates. so far as we know
them or of them, are uniting
with peoples power advocates
regardless of whether single tax

constitution a clause providing
for the initiative and referendum.
Single takers realize that it
Is by means of the initiative and
referendum. and only so, that the
work Of Henry George can be
consummated, even when ma
jority of the people are convert
ed to it; and they have frankly
declared this to be one of their
motives in working for the ini-
tatiVe and referendum.

PAYING THE COST.
okIahoma's Deposit Guaranty Law,
and the Account to Date.

okIahoma's Deposit Guaranty Law,
and the Account to Date.
Oklahoma City, Okla.-The pros
pect of further emergency assess
guaranty fund has aroused the bank
ers to another expression of disappro-
val of the plan as operated in this
state The guaranty fund now has
on hand $33,9S2 cash and large
amount of paper taken from banks
that have failed or that have been
helped to prevent failure, the value
of which is problematical. The fund
has been largely depleted by heavy
drains to liquidate two banks OF this
city. On one it was out S20S,000, and
has realized from its assets $4,000.
On the other it expended 100000 and
issued warrants for $244,700. The
latter bank has never iquidated, and
has not been out of the hands of it's
directors. The issuing of warrants to
a going institution has raised ques-
ton as to the validity of these war
rants.
Since June 80, 1910, the number
of State hanks has decreased fifty-two
owing to the assessments made for
the guaranty fund. Many have nation
allied. Suits were brought against
thirty-one State banks to compel
such payment, but all have finally
paid rather than fight the case in the
courts. AS the last statement showed
a decrease in deposits of nearly S10,-
100000, it Is evident that the hoped
for attraction of depositors has not
been realized. With more emergen-
ry assessments in prospect, there is
! bitter feeling throughout the State
.mong bankers regarding the working
out of the plan.

graduated Chairman Underwood
for the wisdom and fairness dis
played by him when he began
=, his tariff tinkering. He was
as the right man in the
Might place. But, alas! men, ev-
IN the Speaker of the House, is
= ,Able to have a tumble. That's
what happened to Underwood.
Amending the tariff is too big a
job forhis power and experience.
When he grappled with the
wool business he did fairly well;
but when he came to the farm
ers' free list bill, the cotton bill,
with other matters tackled onto
it, his inexperience became OBJ
vious. Perhaps he meant we'll,
but it takes knowledge and ex-
perience to frame such bills
such as will pass muster.
We know now, and Underwood
knows, where he blundered, for
Taft has pointed out the crudi-
Nies. The chairman is a smart
young man, but hardly smart e.
nough to fix tariff rates on such
short notice. It shows the need
of the tariff board to investigate
and point out the way.
Bryan is right in alleging that
Underwood put too much protec-
tion in his wool bill, that is, too
much to agree with the oft-re-
peated Democratic cry for a tar
if for revenue only.
If that be the doctrine of the
party why not put it in the wool
bill, and in all other bills intro
duced? The Democrats have
been inserting that doctrine in
their platform for years past,
why not put it in the tariff bills?
They reduced the protection on,
wool, but left considerable on.
about fifty per cent of the pres
ent rates. Why not take it all,
off if it robs the country?
Bryan wants to do that and be
a consistent Democrat, but I'm
derwood believes in some protec-
tion to some things, and hence is
less consistent a Democrat than
Bryan.
Of course, the Bryan free trade
would never do in this country
at the present time. It would
smash our industries and fill our
country with idle, starving men.
Underwood knows that, and
hence is trying to avoid extremes.
But Bryan wants to put in prac-
tice what the Democratic plat
form teaches, be the consequent
ces what they may.
Bryan is no trimmer; but I'm
-derwood incIines that way. He
will have a time of it next win
ter.
The Democratic House will not
pay much attention to what the
tariff board will commend. Un-
