Single Tax---How 1t Works

Tor something else and keep all he

and owning his opportunity. Or,
he may keep 1t out of use till
somebody must have it or die, and
then make that fellow pay all he
makes but a bare living. That is

other fellows opportunity. This
is the property in land" that gives
the owner property In MAN. This
is the PROPERTY IN LAND"
that the Single Tax will destroy.
The tribute which the owner ex-
acts from the user is RENT. This
rent society would take into the
treasury and afterwards equally
distribute among all the members
of society by equal public benefits.
Society, under the Single Tax I'M
limited, would allow no man to ex-
act tribute from any other man
for the right to use the earth. And
If no man could exact such a trtb-
ute, no man would have any de-
sire to hold any land that he did
not use, because all the profits
from 1t he would have to turn over
to the state, from which 1t would
go back to the original payers in
public benefits.
This would amount to distruc-
ton of private property in land
and the destruction of all the
evils that flow from It, including
private property in men.

evils that are born of that evil and
out of the resultant freedom al

as a great big commonwealth, "as

and it is-then the equal right
to life can never be guaranteed un-
til equal right to the natural op-
portunities on which that life de.
ponds is also guaranteed. A de.

other. Now, il man has a prop
erty right in himself, he has 6
property right in all that he ere

has a natural and an equal right
to all the natural opportunities
that the Creator has made for al
men equally. To grant propert!

THE VALENTINE.


My dear, do you remember,
A day, long, long ago,
When you received gaudy card
From me, my love to show?
Twas fragile, remember.
And all stuck up with glue,
But 1t served to bring the mes
sage
/ wanted sent to you.
Your eyes, my good wife tell me,
Your smile, too, is a sign.
That you recall the letter
To you, my Valentine.
Today, my dear, it's fifty years
Since that first Valentine:
Well toast the February saint
And days OF Aud Lang Syne.
February 14th in Leap Year
ought to prove terror for bach

A kiss a word, book, q flower,
They're Valentine from true

And

grabs an opportunity like that,

Why Love Is Blind.

Romantic Remus determined
TO carry off the pride of his heart
on st. Valentines day. For
weeks he planned carefully. At
last, with his trusty ladder, and
his breast swelling with the very
cleverness of his idea he reached
her window. No sooner had the
ladder touched the house than
his fair lady loves outstretched
arms were waiting. But alas!
the fair one leaned too far, the
puffs which adorned her fair
young head tumbled full into our
hero's face, and, losing his grip
on the ladder he fell into the
rose bushes, scratching out his
eyes. With that the heart-broken
maiden refused to marry him.
And that is the reason, dear
reader, why love is blind.

Faculty Lifts
 Ban At Yale
Sheffield Youngsters Emerge From Penance Period For
 Bridge-Burning Riot

As a result of a meeting held by the Sheffield Scientific school faculty at Yale on Monday night 1t was an- nounced yesterday that the faculty ban placed on the Sheffield freshman class as punishment for the bridge burning riots that occurred one even ing at the opening of the college year last fall has been lifted. The ban prohibited members of the class from trying for position on any. of the ath- letic or musical organizations of the university freshman class and has proved a burden heavy to bear upon
 It will be remembered that there has been considerable disturbance early each fall by members of the Shelf. freshman class carrying out sort of tradition of burning the wooden railroad bridges : over the Canal road. which runs through the Sheffield territory. The Temple street bridge, has been the usual sufferer, but last year there were three fires, two on Temple street and third on hremen were given quite a fight saw ing the bridges, and the police also had. a near riot on. their hands trying to restrain the disorders that marked the evening.
 : Determined to stop these practices which have been growing of late years Director Chittenden and the Sheffield faculty decided that most effective plan would be to make the whole class responsible for the acts, to im- press it with the idea that such "tra- ditions'' must be escorted to the cem- e+e-v and deeply inter1bd so they AID FACULTY ak drs-w .ss placed the whole class under the. ban depriving members of all the honors that ambitious freshmen seek to win as preliminary to larger university strivings
 The flirting of the ban means that members of the class of 1914 S will. no loflaer be debarred from competing for athletic honors: belonging tes the musical club. or trying sfor positions on college publications.
 The Freshmen football team was badly crippled by, this. wholesale dis Sbarment of the Shelf. freshman class and many men lost chances of win hing their numerals of taking the holiday trip with the sGlee clubs, or the Drama tic association. ' -qr.e ;: However, the ban. has at. last. been lifted and the members Of this class now will have chance for represen- tation in baseball, rowing and track in the spring.
