the Republican nomination for Con-
gress in this district and pledge him
our united and untiring support to
bring about his nomination and cleo
tion.
The real interest of the meeting
lay in the amendment to the reSolu-
tions presented by Hon. M. E. Rhodes
for the endorsement of the candidacy
of Theodore Roosevelt for President
Mr.. Rhodes made a strong appeal for
the adoption of his amendment, and
Mr.. J. F. Evans, cashier of the Wash
ington County Bank, took just as
strong a stand against it, and said so.
The meeting divided on the question
and a. count of heads beat the amend
ment by Is, there being 121 for the
amendment and 1856 against it, This
was both a surprise and disappoint-
ment to the Rooseveltians, for the
sentiment of large majority OF the
Republicans in attendance was in
favor of the Colonel, as it likewise
is all over thecounty
The defeat of the resolution was
undoubtedly the result of the injec-
tion of the interests of personal po-
litfcal ambitions and local personal
enmities Into the issue and many of
the Roos welt men were influenced
against tiere personal Dreferrence in
the mattrr by those who fostered
these ambitions and enmities. Other
wise the meeting was perfectly har-
monious. The delegation elected to
the State convention is solidly for
Roosevelt, while those to the Con-
gressional convention are divided, with
the Taft men probably having the
best of it.

THE REPUBLICAN MASS
MEETING
Roosevelt Sentiment Predomin-

OF course, the Globe-Democrat had
to make an attempt to belittle Roose-

mary election last week, it would not
have lived up to it's more OF less rel =
rehensible standpat instincts to have
let the outcome of that election go as
a real expression of confidence of the
people of our adjoining state in the
Colonel. So what must the CD do
but go into figures to show that the
total of the vote cast for Roosevelt
was only small percent of the total
vote cast by the Illinoise Republicans
in the general election of 1908. At
the same time it is careful to hide
the figures showing how much small
er was Taft's vote at the primary
compared with the vote he got in the
state in the fall of 19Os Such tactics
are not going to help the poor show
ing the president makes in the direct |
primaries. Wherever the people have
a fair chance at him as they had the |
other day inIllinois, there is nothing |
to show that the President has much !
chance of getting vote OfcOnfidence |

There will be submitted to the peo-
pie of Missouri at the November cleo
ton this year, under the initiative
and referendum, the proposition to
change the method of collecting rev.
enue for state and county purposes.
The plan is being advanced by the
advocates, who arc taking
it seriously enough to give the as
surance that their activity will sue
ceed in getting enough signers to the
petitions to get them hearing be-
fore the people next fall. The plan
is the one advanced by the late Hen
ry George, the great single tax the
orist, and proposes to put the whole
burden of taxation on the land and
exempt all personal property and mo-
ney. Anyone who has ever read He1e
ry Georges writings on the subject
will find much in the proposition to
sustain it as an economic principle
of great value, for it seeks not only
to tax the unearned increment in
land values that result from social
but also to bring all
land into actual production and by
this means bring about lower cost
of living to the masses. The question
of adopting it here in Missouri. how
ever. is one that should be given very
serious thought by the voters. Person.
ally. we are inclined to look upon the
theory rs one ofgreat economic va
lue. which in the course of our So
cial progress will eventually be adopt
ed, but We feel that Ithe time is not
yet ripe inMissouri nor elsewhere in
the United States for its practical ap
plication. Probably this is the way
the single-taxers themselves regard
it at present, that they do not really
look for nor want it's adoption. but
are simply, seeking to get the ques-
tion before the people that they may
study and familiariZe themselves with
it. The fear of many is that a sim
gle tax OH land will place nearly the
whole burden Of taxation on the far
mer, because he holds the greater
part of the entire land area. This
idea is erroneous, for the greater part
of the land values lie in the urban
communities, where social concentra-
ton gives the land its great value
under unaarned increment resulting
from such concen tration. No city
pays taxes in proportion to
its actual valuation by the owners,
while the farmer nov pays Oh half
or two-tltirds actual valuation OF his
land. The Journal can make no re-
commendatiOn on this question, eX-
cent to advise its readers to study
and familiarize themselves with its
different features, even though they
may have already in mind the purpos
to vote the proposition down. No
doubt the people behind the move
ment as we'll as those who are op-
posed to it, will give us all plenty OF
enlightening literature on the SUBJ
