RICHARDSON HOLDS DUAL JOB?
Does He Hold Two Offices Of Honor
or Profit? Asks McMahan.
(Spartanburg Herald.)

NoPoAl IlCldIu.)
The 30-day suspension of the Con-
federate veteran, Samuel F. Massey,
from the Old Soldiers Home on the
7th instant, by order OF II. w. Rich
ardson, chairman and treasurer,
seems to have grown out OF the pub
lie charge by Mr.. Massey that Major
Hal Richardson was using his off,
cial position to try to force votes at
the institution for Governor Blease
But the incident compels inquiry as
to the majors authority as CHAIR
man" and his office as "treasurer."
Upon examination Of the law and Of
the expenditures on the home by
Major Richardson, find situation
which seems to be fragrant viola
tion Of law and misuse Of public
funds. 1t certainly calls for publicity
and for explanation by the authori-
ties.
The act Of 1908 establishing the
Confederate Infirmary provides FOR a
commission Of five to establish and
manage the institution, and further
specifically provides: "That the men,
bers Of said commission shall receive
no compensation for their services
but shall be entitled to actual ex-
penses for attending the meetings
thereof
In the records OF the office of the
Secretary of State | find that two of
the five commissioners appointed by
Governor Blease are II. w. Richard
son and Dr.. +. w. p. Butler In the
records of the office OF the Comptrol-
Ter General | find that the monthly
expenditures for maintenance of the
Confederate lnfirmary have been
drawn upon voucher or receipt
signed by eli. w. Richardson, chair
man and treasurer" with an attach
ed memorandum OF items making up
the total, among the items being the
following: "Salaries-white help
Major Richardson, 500; DR.. Butler,
$50"
| have examined the vouchers for
only the past three mOnthS-July,
June and May-and | find the same
entries for each months.
If this Is not compensation for
their services forbidden by the
acD, what is 1t? The fact that they
do not charge for their actual ex-
penses for attending the meetings"
(if such Is the case) cannot be claim
ed as a justification for their drawing
salaries as employees or, in the ma

Article No. 4.
BY EDMUND NORTON.

In the articles that preceded
these in the Times on THE Single
Tax-What Is 1t?" it was attempt
ed to tell what 1t was, who pro-
posed it, and suggest some ways
that 1t might be carried out should
the people want 1t.
In these we will try to tell
something about what would be
the probable effect of it when car
ried out to its fullest extent.
We are going to study the Sin
gle Tax as a social reform, or a
way to bring justice and peace to
society.
We should know right here that
the Single Tax is only valuable as
q method of producing a social
change, or reform, for which it is
claimed that: Its purpose is to
increase wages to the full returns
or earnings of labor; to shorten
the hours necessary to earn a liv-
ing; to leave to capital, which is
secondary labor, its full returns,
which are secondary wages; to
abolish monopoly, which is the
thief that Is robbing both labor
and capital. and thereby prove the
unity and remove the apparent
antagonisms which have no place
in a natural order where monopo-
ly does not exist. 1t will free
production. including all trade,
barter and exchange, which are
but processes of production, and
will equalize the distribution of
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1912-02-12
Single Tax---How 1t Works

wealth into the possession only
of those who earn 1t.
1t will destroy special privilege
by substituting equal and natural
rights; remove the dead hand
from the control of living men
throw open the limitless natural
resources of the planet to willing
labor; and, by taking all social
creations of value into the social
treasury, will conserve all natural
resources forever to the people
and make private appropriation of
public values impossible. This
condition will start a boom that
can never stop till every human
want is satisfied.
In addition, it will make inter-
necine and international wars i'm
possible by destroying all trade
and monopoly privileges, which
are the chief causes tempting the
crafty, cunning and INSCRIPTIONS
to create or encourage these sum
totals of all vices, crimes and
horrors against humanity for per-
sonal power and profit.
NOW, tndt rs Buying ooneeniu6.
How will it-how can IL do all
that?
/ think you will agree with me
that If these claims can be made
good every sane person in the
world should want it.
If not, then Henry George and
all his Single Takers are the worst
duped DeOple on earth-fOr they
claim all this.
Let us look into it further.
