FROM OTHER PENS
sTOcK-WATERING GAME.

According to one of the witnesses
before the congressional investigating
committee. the property of the beet
sugar industry is worth only about
$12, 100000, though it is capitalized at
IS, 900. 900 more. He blamed the over
capitalization upon the bankers con-
cerned in the fioatations. They were
little interested in the building of fac
tories, the selling of a product and the
development of an industry, but they
insisted upon having as much stock to
dispose of as the public was likely to
absorb.
The case is typical of the stock
watering methods prevalent If Ameri-
ca. The game has all been for swift
fortunes. Losses, it was known, were
inevitable, but as it was the other fell
low who was to lose the promoters had
nothing to worry over. The trusts have
been formed less for the economies
gained and the stability assured than
for the profits of share selling. Yet, in
many cases, the industries have so de-
veloped that the natural increment has
taken up the water. Those who We're
not forced to sell have, in some cases,
done we'll in the end. But it is an I'M
certain profit to count upon. 1t is too
long chance. Under federal regula-
ton which even the captains of in
dustry row subscribe to, that chance
can be liminated--Toledo Blade.

PUBLIC MONEY MUST BE USED.

In spite of the fact that state sana-
toria and hospitals for tuberculosis
have been established in 81 states, and
ia municipal or county hospitals in
26 states, vastly more public provi
sion is needed to stamp out consump-
ton, says the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis in a bulletin issued recently.
Every state east of the Mississippi
river except Vermont, South Carolina,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Florida, Afissis-
sippi, and Illinois have provided state
sanatoria. In Vermont, a private san
atorium is partially used as a state in
stitution, and in Florida, an indefinite
provision for such hospital has been
made. The states west of the Missis-
sippi river which have established
state sanatoria are, Minnesota, Iowa,
Missouri Arkansas, Texas, Kansas,
Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dako-
to. Montana and Oregon. There are
80 sanatoria provided by these states,
Connecticut having three. Massachu-
sets four, Pennsylvania three, and
Texas two.
New York state leads in municipal
and county hospitals for tuberculosis,
having "a, while Ohio, the second on
the list has II, and Massachusetts, the
third, has 9. In these 26 states, which
are the only ones having any municipal
or county care for tuberculosis, there
are ia hospitals, including special
pavilions and almhouses. Hardly
more than one-tenth of the cities of
10000 population and over, make any
local provision for tuberculosis cases
and not one-twentieth of the less pop
ulous districts make such provision.
In addition to the state. municipal
and county hospitals. the federal gov
eminent provides for certain selected
classes in the United States Army hos
pital at Fort Bayard, n. Mex. the

SINGLE TAX IDEA GROWING.


There can be no doubt that the
single tax theory is slowly gaining
ground. Its progress in the future will
depend largely upon the outcome Of
the experiments being made in some
of the provinces of Canada. The idea
persists, and will continue to persist
for there is, without doubt, much
sound economics connected with it.
Another reason why it will persist is
because the believers in the theory are
so devoted to it that they make a re-
Igion out of it in the same way that
some socialists do out of their theories
and are willing to devote their lives to
them. and, if need be, die for them.
There are several single takers in con-
gross, among them Henry George, Jr.
Unprecedented men can hardly believe
that the single tax will do all that it's
enthusiastic supporters hope, but that
the idea is growing cannot be denied.

The striking thing is increase in

in excess of the amount required by

stated his intention to base his can

To advocate the constitution as adj
opted by a majority of the democratic
party. He will urge, however, that

With respect To the recall of the
judiciary / expect To stand exactly as
my party has stood. Ny speech be-
fore the senate committee on terri
tories explains my position clearly. In
that speech I stated that the people
Of Arizona hav. a right To put into
their constitution any thing not inim-
ical To the constitution of the United
States: and that it is not the business
of congress nor the president To even
modify that right
The president vetoed the statehood
bill because of his alleged objection
To the recall of the judiciary. In
other words he vetoed the statehood
bill on the simple question Of the
tenure of state officers.
1t seems To me now the plain duty
of the people Of Arizona to get state
hood by complying with the require
mcnts Of the statehood resolution.
After obtaining statehood it is then
the peoples privilege To put the re-
call of judges into the constitution
as soon as they please.
i shall most certainly throw no
obstacle in the way Of that result.
The people can put the recall back in
the constitution. and in my judgment
will put it back. They naturally re-
