Option on Single Tax.

The proposal would bar use of the
I. and r. to secure single tax in the
state as whole, but would leave
each county, each municipality and
any district in a county outside of
municipalities free to adopt single
tax on a majority vote. Delegates
who have been insisting on an inhibi-
ton against single tax in the propo-
sal, declared the new plan would
never be adopted. The substitute
section was pronounced a master
piece of ingenuity. 1t is substantially
the same as that secured by w. S.
U'Ren of Oregon, leading single taxer
on the Pacific coast. 1t reads:
"The powers defined herein as the
initiative and referendum shall never
be used to amend or repeal any Of
the provisions of this paragraph or to
enact a law or adopt an amendment
to the constitution, authorizing the
levy. of the single tax on land values
or land sites at higher rate or by a
different rule than is or may be ap-
piled to improvements thereon, to
personal property or to bonds of cor
porationS other than municipal that
shall take effect in any municipality
except on vote of the people Of said
municipality or in any district in a
county outside Of municipalities Of
said county except on vote of said
people in said district"

That delegates in the constitutional
convention who are not allied with the
radical group, but strongly favor the
initiative and referendum, must take
hold to prevent the defeat of the
proposition either in the convention

pressed by DIS. D. Fess, an !. and R.
advocate. Other delegate pointed
to the liquor license fight as proof of
the fact that neither radicals nor con-
servatives can dominate and both
must give way to the middle-way
men.
Delegate Anderson has prepared a
substitute for the Crosser proposal
which eliminates the direct initiative
feature (Which means ignoring of the
general assembly,, against which
most strenuous objection is being
made. He would have the legislative
initiative under the Wisconsin plan

electors. He does not regard the per-
centages as of as much Importance
as the safeguarding of the principle.

Battle In itself.

The single tex issue, injected by
the anti-Bigelow people, who are seek
ing to have the whole convention go
on record on the single tax propCsi-
tion, by placing such provision in
the initiative and refa-a~ 1urn that tie
people may never be able to enact a
single tax system, will mean battle
in itself. Bitterness of feeling, par
TALLY concealed, thus far, but very ap-
parent at times during the session to
date, will break out, and the Bigelow
and the anti-Bigelow people, called
"reactionaries," will throw soft words
and courteous phrases to the winds
The Bigelow people want an initia-
tive and referendum, with low per-
centages. That means that they want
to allow small number of people to
sign petitions enabling laws to be
voted on by the people. Furthermore,
the Bigeiow people want the people
to be enabled to petition for laws and
then vote on them without having
them first referred for action to the
legislature.
The anti-Bigelow people want an in
itiative and referendum, with higher
percentages. These they call safe
guards. In other words, they would
make it necessary that higher per-
centage of people must petition for
laws before action can be taken, on
the ground that otherwise there would
be many faddish and useless laws pro.
posed In addition, they are against
the BigeIow idea of the direct initia.
tive, which would allow the people to
vote without reference to the legisla.

RUBBER PLAN EXPLAINED
President Colt Discusses Points
Raised by Stockholders.

President Colt OF the United States Rub
Der Company has addressed statement
to the stockholders. answering inquiries
received from many OF them in regard TO
various features Of the Presidents address
submitted at the recent annual meeting.
As 10 the s. 900, 60 common stock dividend
he points out that the annual report indi-
Gates that for the last fiscal year, after
payment OF all interest charges, the entire
net earnings Of the United States Rubber
Company and its subsidiaries TO the ex-
tent OF the compaHy's interest in them)
were S671l,33l, which was about 100000
more than the amount paid in dividends
Further. on April !, the United States Rub
Der Company and it's direct subsidiaries
had a surplus of S9,17S.730. and on January
1 the further surplus OF the Rubber Goods
Manufacturing Company, of which the
United States Company owned practically
all OF the common stock and more than 10
per cent OF the preferred. was $S,2So,SU
IL appeared 10 the management. there
fore, upon the basis Of last year 3 earn
ings and without reference 10 probable In
creases this year, that earnings would be
ample to provide full dividends after the
issue Of the now stock and upon the basis
of surplus a dividend on the common stock
seemed fully justified as long as II would
not represent a drain upon cash resources.
As 20 the proposal to retire the second
preferred stock by exchanging II into first
preferred, President Colt says that the an
nual dividend on the second preferred IS
so small compared with the company S
present earnings that the order Of prefer
ence becomes practically immaterial. In
discussing the proposed increase Of first
preferred and sale OF $4,000 co Of the issue,
he SAYS that there can he no issue OF first
preferred stock unless the proposed COM
mon stock dividend be approved the laws
Of New Jersey providing that the preferred
shall not be more than twice the amount
Of the common.
