~HE single tax. or the taxing
of land only for the sup.
port of government, which
the proposed amendment to the
State Constitution inaugurated by
n self styled tax reform league I'M.
der the initiative and referendum
contemplates. is Contiscution pure
and simple. The great expounder
and advocate of the single tax
theory, Henry George, practically
acknowledged this fact i'll his book.
Ii is true that he contended that all
lands belong to the State, but the
contention is untenable; for If all
lands originally belonged to the
State or government, that part to
which the individual people hold
titles was decided by government
to individual citizens through pur.
chase or otherwise. and therefore
passed from the ownership of the
government to the ownership
of the individual, with the right
to hold or sell. Hence Henry
Georges contention that all lands
are the property of the State is not
grounded either in law or justice.
He must have recognized this fact.
for he said that it would not do
for the State to forcibly confiscate
all privately owned lands, as it
would cause needless shock to
present customs and habits of
thought. But he proposed a
subtler way of accomplishing the
confiscation of all lands by the
State. He says in his book:
Il do not propose either to pur-
chase or confscate private property
in land. The first would be un.
inst" on the theory that the land
already belongs to the State the
second needless. Let the individ-
uals who now hold it still retain,

NIAGARA AND WATER POWER.

Private interests are urging larger
water rights at Niagara Falls. Ma
terialists with itching palms have
continually tried to divert more wa
ter from the falls for the larger man
ufacture of electricity. They have
seen nothing i'm the worlds greatest
waterfall except the wasteful sweep
of food of gold.
Three times experts have reported
to the National Government that
Niagara has already been damaged
by the water diverted for power
plants. Nevertheless. the individuals
who are growing rich by destroying
the falls press their plea for larger
rights. Offering therefor a paltry pay
ment.
The Burton protection expires
March |. Congress will not turn Nj
agara over to private vandaIS. But
the people should see that no furth-
er encrOachment is permitted. For
more than a century Niagara Falls
has been the Mecca of Americans.
This marvel of natures handiwOrk
is worth more to the peOpe than all
the dollars which might be coined
should be transmitted to our children
with its grandeur undiminiShcd.

New Force in Education

The moving picture has been called
the Great Educator of the Future.
How important a factor it is becOm-
ing in the education of the child. may
be realized by the number of schools
that are using it i'm developing and
training the minds of students
The superintendent of schools in
San Francisco. Alfred ROncovieri. re-
Gently recommended that the lecture
system for pupils be extended so as
to include moving picture films on
educational themes. Mr.. RoncOvieri
believes that feeling of the reality
of historical events is impressed by
the moving picture: that the study of
nature is developed by its use. and
that it is helpful in the teaching of
literature. In Brooklyn free exhibi-
tions of educational moving pictures
have been given i'm the schools 9th

In nearly every town i'm the south
ern and northern parts of China.
there is at least one cinematOgraph
theater: the films shown are mostly
educational and descriptive.
One of the first uses of the educa-
tional moving picture will be in the
promotion of elementary training
For a long time it has been thought
that the child is sent to school at too
early an age. when his mind is not
developed enough to meet the re-
quirements imposed upon it. This
problem has been partly solved by
the establishment of kindergartens.
The moving picture goes farther than
this: it fills the child's mind with
things as they actually exist at the
faculties.

quality of the instrument for which
he is writing"
DR.. r. l.. Ramsay of the University
of Missouri, at whose lecture on
The Drama of the Renaissance" the
Elizabethan model was first display
ed, in speaking of the model, said:
This representation of typical
theater OF Shakespeare's time is
made from drawings and contracts
in which the proposed building is
described by architects of that time.
We may see in this. the outer and
inner stages. the upper stage and the
tower from which supernatural be-
ings We're raised and lowered We

lem is not solved. so far as return
TO the real f.lizabethan setting is
concerned. by an outdoor perfOr-
nance. Such a performance simply
dispenses with modern stage-set-
ting without giving us the original
scenery. And Shakespeare dramas
did have a certain amount of stage
setting, which must be understood
in order fully to appreciate the plays
themselves"
The many scenes within an act,
which make Shakespeare's plays so
long in playing on account of the
amount of Scene-shifting necessary
on the modern stage, were easily ar
ranged on the Elizabethan stage by
means of the alienation of scenes
between the outer and the inner
stages. The set solilOquies and the !

ignore him. He took his audience

The theater with the Outer-inner l
stage was the home of the long life
stories and complicated historical
plays. The modern theater with its
