SINGLE TAX AND SPECTATORS
HOW THE FARMER WOULD FARE
IN A WHEAT CORNER.
Rich Owners Of Elevators Could Fill
Their Plants With Cheap Wheat
With No Taxes to Pay.

II the Single Tax Amendment is
adopted by Missouri at the election
Nov 5, personal property will pay no
taxes and buildings will pay no taxes.
Land alone, exclusive OF improvements
and franchises, win pay all the taxes
and the tax rate will be unlimited,
This offers a premium to the specu-
lator to hoard farm products and raise
or lower their price. How will it work?
Mr.. Grammar owns a chain of ele-
yators. Tney stand on ground that
is of little value outside of small
towns. The buildings and machinery
are worth hundreds Of thousands of
dollars He fills these elevators with
a million dollars worth OF wheat, buy
ing when the price is low Under Sin.
gle Tax the buildings. the machinery
and the wheat will pay no taxes His
only taxes will be on the land on
which the buildings stand.
The Spectator can between crop
times, corner the market and sell half
his stock at high prices. When the
new crop comes can with the other
half food the market, break the price
and refill his elevators, buying from
the farmer at the low price he has
made. He can repeat this operation
as often as he pleases and do this
under law that eyempts him from
taxes.
Under those conditions the farmer
will get a body blow whichever way
he turns. He will be compelled to
sell his wheat to a speculator at the
lowest price, while the land on which
the farmer raises that wheat will pay
all the taxes.
Fine for the specula'or, but where
does the farmer get off?

RadIey for Taft and State Ticket.

St. Louis, October THE repub-
lican state campaign has been thor
oughly organized at state headquarters
and is proceeding with vigor, precision
and success. The state ticket has
been perfected, the presidential elect
ors have been named and filed with
the secretary Of state, and candidates
for congress and for the state senate
have been named in the districts where
no nominations we're made at the
August primary, and other defective
lines have been brought up so that the
party representation on state, district
and county ballots will be as full as
usual. The citizens named on those
ballots are, without exception, worthy
the support OF voters Of every class.
A large number Of speakers are in the
field and campaign literature is going
out freely from state headquarters.
Money is not coming in as freely as it
ought, however, and some work that
would otherwise have been undertaken
has been held in abeyance.

Governor HadIey'S Position.

Governor Hadley, a few days sub
sequent to the adjournment Of the
Chicago convention, in a letter to Ben
Deering, editor OF the republican state
press bureau, stated most emphatically
that he had no intention Of abandoning
the republican party, that he would
oppose by all fair means the organiza
ton Of a new party, especially in this
state, and that he would oppose the
putting up of Roosevelt electors or a
separate state ticket by the friends Of
Roosevelt; that he would do all in his
power to promote the election Of the
nominees Of the republican party for
state, district and local Offices and that
he believed it the duty Of every re-
publican to sustain the party in this
state.
In an interview at the Jefferson
Hotel, Friday, September 25. he slated
to Mr.. Deering that There are those
who have felt that existing conditions
justified them in abandoning the re-
publican party, l have not agreed as
to the advisability OF such course.
If one joins another party, what as
surance will he have that the same or
similar conditions will not arise in it2
II he works outside Of political lines
he must content himself with impaired
efficiency in the accomplishment Of
political results"
Speaking Of the so'calle1 progressive
party and the statements in newspapers
to the effect that he would support
Roosevelt as a candidate for president,
Governor Hadley said; Il have
reached the conclusion that I cannot
be with the republican party in state
affairs and working for the success Of
its candidates and at the same time
working for those in national affairs
who are trying TO promote democratic
success in state affairs"

A PLAN TO MAKE
The POOR POORER
An Authority on "SingIe Tax" Says
Farmers Would Suffer.
A COLLEGE PROFESSORS VIEWS
After Careful Study, Prof, Seisman
Of Columbia University, Says
Single Tax Is Defective from
Every Point Of View,

Missouri farmers, home owners,
land owners, and citizens in general
are interested in the study Of Single
Tax these days, as the question as TO
whether Missouri is to have Single
Tax or not is to be decided at the
election on November 9Th. Others
besides Missourians also have been
studying the problem. Professor
Sellgman of Columbia University, one
of tne leading authorities on political
economy, sums up the results Of his
Investigations in the following words
(pages 80 and "a of his hook The
Single Taxi:
I'VE have studied the Single Tax
from different points of view; and
We have seen that it is defective tis-
cally, politically, morally and econ
omcally. We have learned, first, that
it would be inelastic, and that It would
intensity the inequalities resulting
from unjust assessments; secondly,
that although itself proposed chiefly
from social considerations it would
prevent the government from utili2-
ing the taxing power for other social
purposes, and that ii would divorce
the interests Of the people from those
of the government; thirdly, that 1t
would offend against the canons Of
universally and equality of taxation,
and that it would seriously eXaggerRte
the difference between profits from
land and profits from other sources;
and finally, that it would be entirely
inadequate in poor and new commu'
mites, that it would generally have
an injurious influence on the farmer,
and that even in the large urban cen
ters 1t would exempt large sections of
the population without bringing any
substantial relief to the poorer class.
es. - -
Even as a method Of tax reform,
the scheme is, as We have seen, a
mistaken one. Our system of taxation
is far from being ideal, or even com.
paratively just; for we are still cling
ing, in a great degree, to mediayal
errors, But whatever be the much.
needed reform, it is safe to say that
neither the common people nor the
student will ever accept a scheme
which is palpably unjust, which aban
dons the whole ideal theory of modern
taxation-that of relative ability or
faculty--and which seeks to put the
burdens of the many on the shoulders
Of the few"

President TAFT and Governor Wilson
met in a Boston hotel, shook hands
cordially, chatted about health and the
weather and said not a word about pol
itics. The governor went 10 bed and
the president journeyed 10 his country
home. 1t was chance meeting OF
two great men-two American gentle
men very much interested in each
other The president could not con.
scientiously encourage the governor,
nor could the governor discourage the
president. Il would be interesting to

The Single Tax Scheme.

Colonel Roosevelt, speaking Of the
single tax, said: There is very real
need that this nation shall seriously
prepare itself for the task Of remedying
social injustice and meeting social
problems by we'll considered govern.
mental effort; and the best preparation
for such wise action is to test, by act

tions, the devices which We have rea'
son TO believe will work we'll, but which
we have reason to believe will work
we'll, but which it is difficult to apply
in old-settled communities without
preliminary experiment"
Colonel Roosevelt is Of the opinion
that the single tax scheme will work
we'll not only in Alaska but also in
older communities. But he would

State Treasurer Cowgirl stood with
Governor Hadley from first to last in
favor OF a constitutional, reasonable
and righteous assessment Of taxable
property. He was not playing TO the
galleries nor seeking TO promote his
personal political prospects like certain
other democratic state officials. Like
an honest and honored democrat
should have done, he tried to discharge
his sworn duty. Guided by the con-
siitution itself he insisted that all prop
erty subject 10 taxation should be as
sessed at its true value in money be-
cause the constitution provides ex'
pressly for such an assessment, Like
Governor Hadley, he believes that the
rates Of taxation can be lowered, per-
haps one half, on constitutional as
sessment. In other words, he would
assess property at its real value, as the
constitution provides, and then levy
upon that assessment a sufficient rate
OF taxation to meet the requirements
OF the state government. Any man
who can find objections to such a pol
icy can readily tell us why the consti-
tuition should be set aside and poll
ticians permitted to do as they please
in taxation and other matters.

There are plenty Of good, loyal and
competent men within the republican
party willing and ready to hold any
party Office or 10 accept any public
office within the gift Of their own party.
The republican party does not need
the services of men who are allied with
some other party, though it seeks and
will welcome the support Of citizens oI

organization, well defined purposes and
