Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1912-10-24

1t is one theory of government
that the government is to protectthe
property of its citizens. This being
true all classes of property should
pay taxes as all classes of property
are protected. Personal property
requires more protection from the
government than does the lands,
consequently personal property
should pay taxes for the protec-
ton personal property. 1t is not
just or right TO make lands pay the
taxes necessary to protect personal
property Scatch Yes" leave NO

seven.

1t is not the intention of the fell
lows who are most interested in a
high tariff for a high tariff to make
the masses prosperous or to in

1t does not do either but it does
make money for the trusts and
monopolies which finance the Re-
publican party.

Their Yesterdays.
By Harold Bell Wright.

This book is entirely different
from anything the author has ever
given us. He takes man and a
woman in an impersonal way, that
is, the characters have no names
or especial setting. 1t is perhaps
more the story of men and women
Two people start out in the world
to battle with life. But success
for the woman means failure, be-
cause the occupation fails to recog-
nize her womanhood.
The object of the writer is to set
forth what he calls the thirteen
truly great things of life"
There is much sentiment in the
book and the homely, everyday
affairs of life are caarmingly por
trayed.

If the only farmers in the world
were in Missouri then the farmer.
be he owner or tenant, could shift
the burden of the Single Tax on to
the consumers. AS it is, however,
the Missouri farmer with his land
bearing all the burden of taxation
would have to sell his products in
competition with products from
lands bearing only just proportion
of taxes. Thus the farmer would
pay the tax. In doing this, how
ever, his money with which to pur-
chase necessaries, luxuries and to
pay for farm labor would be much
limited consequently the people
living in the cities and towns of
Missouri would have to suffer with
him and would lose more than the
amount necessary to pay the taxes
There would be general stagna-
ton in business. Missouri cannot
afford to try the experiment 1t
will cost the people too much in
business and besides taxes should
be borne by all classes of property.
