SINGLE TAX
NUMBER SIX.

On the fifth day of November
1912, at the General Election, the
peop.e will vote on an Amend
ment to the Constitution of Mis-
souri, known as the Single Tax
Amendment Number Six.
This is the most damaging.
and ruinous proposition ever
made to the people of Missouri,
and particularly to the farming
community. 1t is proposed to
exempt from taxation all per-
sonal property. The holders of
bonds, stocks, notes, and money,
viii ra- no taxes on their
stocks of goods. The depots,
round houses. and machine shops
OF the railroads will be exempt
from taxation. All buildings
are to be exempt. The sky
scra 5ers twenty stories high in
the eities, pay no more taxes
than the hut of the fisherman ON
the liver front. The naked
land is to bear the great burden
of taxation to support the gov
ernmcnts of the State, Counties
and Cities in Missouri. Your
land is to be assessed at its true
and actual value. And worse
than all the present Constitution
al Limitation on taxation is to be
repealed, thereby leaving the
way clear, TO vote any amount OF
taxes, that the voters may i'm
pose. This is not a politica.
question. Democrats and Repub
licans alike in their State Plat
forms have declared against this
Amendment. Farmers arouse
yourselves to the gravity of thu
situation. Your homes are il
danger. Gene to the polls OF
the fifth day of November

Charges of carelessness and
neglect have been lodged with the
county commissioners against DR..
William B. McCreery, county ply
sician, by A. j. Upton, Of Fern
Hill, who declares his 6-year-old
son Roland was left suffering for
13 days with broken leg at the
county hospital without the bone
being set.
He says he-was finally forced to
take the boy to the Fanny Pad
dock hospital and call another
physician to set the bone.
The, bone was broken off rag
gedly, had slipped around so that
the two sides of the fracture We're
facing outward and overlapped
nearly three inches. The bone
had begun to knit when tho boy
was removed from the county in-
stitution, the father charges.
Little Rowland fell while play
ing with a rope. He was removed
to the county hospital BEFORE the
father knew of the accident.
All that was done at the conn
ty hospital was to take the >-.ray
pictures of the fracture aud use
weights on it. says Upton.
After 10 days, when nothing
had been done, he complained, he
says. to DR.. McCreery. On the
eleventh day the bone was "set !"

Dynamite is being used to
check the flames.
Mounted police are hurrying
ahead of the flames, notifying
everyone of the danger. So far
no casualties have been reported.
The parks and other open
spaces are crowded with women
and children.
Citizens, fortified by wet bian-
kets, are standing on the roofs
of their homes, endeavoring to ex-
tinguish firebrands. At 10 o'clock
the fire had spread to the big
shops of the Southern Pacific.
Engines have been pressed into
service, and despite the terrific
heat, an heroic attempt is being
made to draw cars loaded with
foodstuffs to safety. A famine is
feared If the fire spreads to the
business section.
The fire started in hotel in
South Houston. After visit to
the burned section, city officials
at noon placed the fire loss at &c.

EXPECTED STATEMENT OF
CANDIDACY FOR PRESIDENT
NOT MADE BY T. X.

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 21.-
Theodore Roosevelt has not yet
announced his candidacy for the
presidency.
Disappointing the expectation
that he would launch his expected
announcement here today before
the constitutional convention. the
colonel confined his discussion to
progressive principles.
Roosevelt advocated the initia-
tive and referendum, but insisted
that law-making was primarily a
job for the legislature, the ini-
tiative and referendum being at
hand for the people whenever the
legislature refused to obey their
will.
He advocated the recall, includ-
ing judges, whenever the people of
any state found the judiciary not
amenable to public sentiment, as
in Missouri and California.
He favored the direct primary

Roosevelt's phrase in his open
ing paragraph, I'VE progressIves, ="
brought cheers from the dele
gates.
Roosevelt's declarations on pro-
gressive measures was more di-
rect and unequivocal than any he
has ever uttered previously, and
is believed by his followers to
form the basis for his campaign
for the presidency.

ISSUE
NECESSARY
To FINISH
PLANT
DUE TO OFFICIAL INCOMPE-
TENCE CITY MAY HAVE TO
DiG UP BIG SUM TO COM
PLETE NEW PLANT.

The city lacks $3.50. 900 of hav-
ing enough money to complete the
Green river gravity system and
100000 of having enough for the
Nisqually power plant.
The light receipts will take care
of the power plant excess, but
the council is meeting this after
noon to see whether or not 90
call for a bond issue to finish the
gravity system.
The gravity water project has
been a record of official mis-
takes.
Series of BIunders.
In the first place Nick Lawson
let the contracts without having
the right-of-way. After the con-
tractors had done thousands of
dollars of work the right -of-way
had to be changed and all this
was lost.
Then extravaganza, misman-
agement, incompetent officials
and employees ate up the re-
sources. The engineering alone
has cost the enormous sum of
$101,000 and it will take $685.
600 more to finish it.
When Weeks came I'm lie found
Lawson had let contract to the
International Contract Co. for the
headworks for about 100000.
But yle contract left out n lot of
things. Before this job is done it
will cost $3.50, 900 instead of
800. 900.
Weeks had the capacity of the
tunTels increased. After the pipe
linz was partly laid at an expense
of thousands of dollars under
Green river, it was given up and
a bridge substituted.
The Wright and M'Hugh con-
tracts also overrun.
Soon after they got to work
Weeks had a reclassification of
materials made to pay for hard
pan and this took thousands of
dollars extra.
The Wright contract was ex-
pected to be $4,000, but it will
run to $4,000.
The NJ Hugh contract was about
$47e,000, but it will take $780,
600.
Sf4O,OOO Job Yet.
There is still one contract to
let for the connecting up of the
line in the city. This will cost
100000 and the system cannot
be used until it is in.
To make matters even worse
than they were the old bill of
$4,000 for engineering done by
Fuller & Cunningham was
charged up to the money provided
for the gravity system.
AS a result of it all-it looks
like bond issue of about $780,
600 to finish the plant.

Foulke f. Brandt, former valet to
Mortimer l.. Schiff, who was SEN
fenced to 80 years for burglary
on what was alleged to have been
a frame-up, today practically won
his fight for freedom. Attorney
General Carmody today notified
Governor Dix that there was no
evidence in the Brandt case to
warrant his conviction for bur-
glary. Carmody recommended a
full pardon. His formal opinion
will go to Governor Dix later.

That the case of Foulke e. Brandt,

statement made here today by
Governor Dix.
Attorney General Carmody,
Governor Dix said, is considering
the testimony in the Brandt case
and probably will recommend
some action soon. Dix said he
would take no action just now.

For this state commission to
