of distribution-and not till then.
Now; in this problem of dis
tribution is the whole question of
economic justice or injustice.
Wealth is divided or ''distribut-
ed" as rent, to land; as wages,
to labor; and interest, to capital.
And here is where the Single
Tax comes in again.
Under the Single Tax on land
value alone there would be:
First-No taxes on labor-not
any poll taxes, nor taxes on food
or clothing, no tariff taxes, nor
license, business or occupation
taxes; no taxes on houses, trees,
fences, nor any Improvements
made on land by the exertion of
.man-nor on inheritance nor in
comes.
Second-There would be no
taxes on capital, money, machin
cry, factories; none on trade or
barter; none, on any form of
wealth, production of wealth, nor
consumption of wealth; and
Third-The whole burden of
government, national, state and
municipal, would be placed on
land value, or the annual rent of
land. AS an abstract theory, this
taxation of land value would
gradually increase as other taxes
were removed until the entire
rent of land was taken into the
public treasures of the state, mu-
inequalities and nation, and there
would be no other tax in exist
ence.

big Hand" Gilbert. II was due to this
counterfeiter's work that the custom
of confiscating paintings of money was
established.
Gilbert was ostensibly a German
farmer. living over on the Jersey side.
He made bl-weekly trips to New York
city, and on every trip stopped at
little bar where, above the long rows
OF bottles. hung painting of 81
bill. Whenever Gilbert. VINO at that
time really was farmer, stopped for
his drink the painting, with every line
of the bill accurately followed. stared
him in the face.
That was in 1882. Two years later
Gilbert, whose hands we're so large
and apparently clumsy that they won
him the nickname of the man with the
big hands, recalled that when boy In
Germany he had been proficient with
a pen and that great future as an
etcher had been predicted for him.
So one night, after gazing for an
hour at the bill, Gilbert went to his lit
tic farm across the river and told his
wife, a hard working woman, that ne
had conceived the idea of an Invention
which would make them rich. He
said that he wished to keep the nature
of his device a secret and refused
even to tell his wife. There, after
nightfall, he labored for months be-
fore he produced his first bill-a Ham
ilton $40 certificate.
His work was so perfect and his
hands so large and clumsy in appear
ance that no one ever suspected him.
and while he went about New YORK,
making a small purchase here and
there at different places. he was float

There was absolutely no clew to h1
the identity of the maker. The treas

then Gilbert, having progressed In his
hidden occupation, 500 bills began to
make their appearance. and three OF
these-two Farragut heads and Lin

agents, having passed through the

THE unintentional application OF a

to use, caused Gilbert's undoing," said
Captain Moran in speaking of the
case.
No matter how carefully counter
felt bill is made, whether engraved or
etched, certain portions of 1t will blur
when dampened. This is especially
true in regard to the numbers on coun-
terfeit bills. The government bills
from the bureau of engraving and
printing do not blur.
There have been other instances
of pen etched work. But Gilbert was
a genius at it. No pen note man ever
even approximated the accuracy OF
detail and cleancut work he did. And
he used only ordinary bond paper, too,
but, of course, a good quality. The

SUNSHINE
WARNS UP
The FANS
LOCAL BASEBALL ENTHUSIASTS
PREPARING FOR A LIVELY
SEASON-WARM SUNSHINE ON
THEIR BACKS MAKES THEM
BONG FOR THE DIAMOND.

Apropos of the opening of the base
ball season along the coast, local fans
are beginning to cast their eyes to-
ward the local baseball grounds, and
sigh for a sound of the cheering in
the dusk Of the evening"" a smell of
the diamond sawdust and a sight of
the local uniforms.
Things are doing in local base
balloon, although the show is not
quite ready to begin. Chauncey
Bishop. Joe Zinn, Arch Jerman and
other local baseball magnates al
ready have sent out the first call to
arms; they have been communicating
anent the desires of those outside
the fold; some talking has been done
regards the securing of grounds, and
before many weeks Salem baseball
fans will forget their meals, their
New Years resolutions and their re-
ligion, and all will gather at the
grandstand, satisfied at least that it
has come-the grand old love of all
loves-the baseball season.
Joe Zinn, who is interested in the
local Portland Railway, Light &
Power Company's team, recently re-
ceived a letter from the street car
boys at Portland, asking if the Salem
car boys could join then in Install
ing circuit of six teams, composed
solely of street car employees. Five
teams already are organized in Port
land, and, if the Salem boys join
them in the new move, it will make
circuit of six teams. These teams
will alternate between Portland and
Salem, Salem at times playing in
Portland and the Portland boys play
ing part of the time in Salem. Joe
favors the new circuit, and the
chances for the six-team circuit ap-
pear very bright.
Although the car boys team is not
yet fully organized. Zinn states that
A. F. Fleming, of tn elocal force, will
catch for the brass-buttoned brigade
this year and King and Walker will
twirl the speed balls for this team
Both the fans and the players are
anxious to open the season at once,
and it is expected that things will be
stirring on a definite basis within a
very short time. Mr.. Jerman is still
negotiating for grounds and can
make no definite statement regarding
the Tri-City League team this year
for several days.
This seasons manager for the car
boys, as yet, has not been chosen,
and no surmise as to who he will be
can be made at this time.
The five teams of the Portland
street car men are taken from the fol
lowing places: One from Piedmont,
one from Sellwood, another from the
Savier-street barns, the Office force in
the new electric building has con-
tributed a team, and one more from
the East Ankeney-street car barns.
Cbauncey Bishop was out of town
last evening, and nothing could be
learned regarding his plans for this
season in the baseball world.
