land values. All other taxes shall be
removed. On no improvement, on no
product of labor, on no personal prop
erty shall the city levy a rate. Such a
tax is rational, natural, just, scientific
and unacceptable.
"Such will break up land monopoly
and prevent the s%peculator from hold
ing this, the only basis of human labor,
out of the field of production. 1t will
force land into use for all possible pur-
poses at lower rents and prices. This
in turn will promote industry and open
up the opportunities of labor to willing
hands now hindered and bound by land
monopoly.
"Our present system of taxation is a
modified lineal descendant of the tyran-
NY and despotism of aristocracies and
ruling classes of medievalism and land
lordism. Taxation of land values
is the system of taxation which seems
inherent and natural to democracy and
social science.
"If democracy is to NEAR anything
more han Fourth of July screams and
waving of flags, and ven ballots and
voting, including the initiative, referen-
dunn, recall and votes for women. it
must mean the guaranteed opportunity
to every citizen to put forth labor and
find standing ground on the earth, on
equal terms with every other man."

BEEF BARONS
IN LAST PLAY
FOR A STAY

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4-John S. Mil
Ter and Levy Mayer, counsel for the
Chicago beef packers, arrived in Wash
ington today to play their last card, it
is believed, in the fight to obtain a stay
in the trial of the packers on charges
Of having criminally violated the Sher-
man antitrust law.
This move was a sequel Of the trip
Mr.. Miller and Mr.. Mayer made to
Washington November 90 to get Chief
Justice White to grant a stay. The
chief justice informed them that the
subject was of too much importance
for him to pass upon individually and
counsel announced they would go be-
fore the entire bench with their petit
ton. Today was the first opportunity
to present the matter to the court.
1t was not expected that the packers
motion would come before the court
until late in the afternoon on account
of the probability that the tribunal
would be busy early in the day an
nouncing opinions.
