THE MARKET LETTER.

Kansas City, March 4.-Unfavorabbe
shipping weather all over the west re
duced receipts Of live stock at the
markets about one-fourth, and prices
advanced sharply ON all kinds of cat
tie except stockers and feeders, which
classes held only steady. The action
of buyers, in their anxiety to Sc
cure some of the small crop of cattle
every day, disclosed the emptiness of
their pretensions that meat channels
are clOgged, coolers overstocked, etc.,
thus tearing OFF with a single move
ment most Of the stock bear argu-
mentS that have been in use for some
weeks past. Killing cattle advanced
rs to 80 cents during the week, under
the stimulus of the active competition
Of buyers who heretofore ballOed ON
an average run. Country buyers are
stin holding alOof, account of the ex-
IRENE scarcity of amy and all kinds Of
feed. Another storm Saturday has cut
down the run of live stock consider
ably today, though a supply of 5000
cattle got through to the selling pens
here today. The market today is
steady to 10 higher, the killing kinds
getting the advance, as they did last
week, and stockers and feeders selling
steady. Top steers sold at $7.S5 today
but if a prime lot were available it
would go above eight dollars. Bulk Of
the native steers sell at $500 to $40
heavy cows up to $5.75, heifers 1915,
bulls $3.50, veal calves $500. Forty

A SAMPLE OF LAND MONOPOLY.

Some people doubt the claim of sin
gle takers that land values are created
by the growth of the city and are not
due to the efforts of those who now
appropriate them. Such people should
Eonder over the history Of certain
parcel of land in Seattle.
In 1866 John H. Nagel took the 100
acres lying just east of Broadway and
north of Madison That it had no val
lie then is shown by the fact that any
one could have had it who thought it
worth taking.
In 1874 Nagel became insane and
was taken to SteilacOom, where he
was left at the expense of the tax
payers until 1897, when he died.
That it had very little value then
is shown by the fact that he traded
five acres of it for a blind mule a
short time before this.
A trustee for his estate had been
appointed by the court when he be
came insane, who sold enough of it
iron time to time to pay the taxes.
The remainder in 1898 was worth full
ly 100000.
Now it is evident that this value
was not created by John H. Nagle,
who was in AN insane asylum and
that it was created by the people of
Seattle. Yet the city bought the three
blocks ON which the reservoir and Lin
coin Park playground are situated for
$1,000 from his estate after his
death.
1t was also evident that when this
100000 was given to NagePS nom
resident heirs who did nothing to
earn it, that it was taken from the
people who did create it. Every man
woman and child in Seattle was
poorer because of this being taken
from them, For if anyone gets with
out getting others must earn without
getting"
But this is true, not alone of the
Nagle estate, but of every lot in Sc
attic and every other place where a
system of taxation prevails that bur
dens industry and favors monopoly.

some as far away as Philadelphia
With the knowledge that their
children were being cared for tender
~, the mothers and fathers back in
Lawrence gained courage to carry
on the fight. Freed from hearing
their own children crying for bread,
the strikers took renewed hope.
What happened? The trust mag
mates, realizing that if all the little
children were sent away from Law
renee the strikers could longer endure
the struggle, at once issued orders to
the servile police and militia COM
manders to put stop to the depor-
tation of children. They knew that
where bayonets, persecution, unlaw-
full imprisonment, and all other ordi-
nary weapons of big corporations in
in fighting the unions might fail,
there remained one thing the strikers
could not long resist, and that was
the cry Of their own children for food.
These millionaires knew that where
strong men and women could suffer
in silence themselves, they could not
long bear to see their children suffer.
Accordingly, there was issued an
edict against sending the children
away where they could obtain food.
linn ediately a squad of state soldiers
was sent to each railroad station, and
when the strikers arrived with their
children many of them were seized
and thrown into Jail.
Diabolica as this may seem it ac-
tually is being done, not in Russia,
but right here in these United States.
The wooden trust Is the most high
ly protected of all trusts. 1t makes
millions of dollars annually in profits
on stock that is watened until it is
soggy, and it is the same trust that
refuses steadfastly to listen to the
plea of its men for a conference to
talk over wage differences.
Query: Since the pnotectionists de-
clared the Schedule X, which places
a heavy tax on every article Of wool
en- clothing sold in the United States,
was passed solely" to protect" the
workers in the WOODEN industry, and
since these workers are receiving alb
sOlutely no protection whatever, why
should the American people longer
tolerate Schedule X?

A HoLD-UP GAME EXPOSED.

Before you pay charges on an ex-
press package again, it might be
good idea to make sure the charges
have not been paid at the other end.
The extent to which the express
companies have been robbing the
people by collecting charges at both
ends Of a shipment, as revealed be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, is amazing and outrageous.
In the case of one company alone
it was shown that they made 5000
overcharges in one day and collected
in one year $67 1000 as overcharges.
And in addition to the cases of
overcharging which have come to the
attention of the commission, it is be-
lieved that thousands of shipments
are paid for at both ends of which
the commission never hears, owing
tc the fact that the the victims do
not know they are being fleeced.

ferred to admitted that the system

A SAMPLE OF SINGLE TAX.

In january, 1910, Vancouver adopt
ed the single tax for local purposes.
The first place to feel the effect Of
competition with it was Victoria, the
capital of British Columbia. Other
cities soon felt it also, and in spite Of
protective tariffs cities in the United
States, including Seattle, found them
selves being outstripped by their
neighbor over the BOUNDARY.
So many men and so much money
left Victoria for Vancouver in 1910
that Victoria was fenced, in sell de-
tense, to adopt the single tax for city
purposes, which she did by a vote Of
five to one in january, 1911.
The effect was magical
In April, 1911, VictOria's building
permits were 1920, 40 against 1892, 44O
in April, 1910.
In August, 1911, this had grown to
$429, 800, against $212,S14 in August,
1910.
In November, 1911, it reached $685.
625, against $1O4,295 in November,
1910, while Seattle's buildings fell off
from $1,000, 2S5 in November, 1910, to
$449, 1O5 in November, 1911, although
Seattle's population is about seven
times that OF Victoria.

YeIIow Writing PAGER eaax on Ex

Ocullsts have often called attention
to the fact that the eyes are easily
fatigued by the reflection from white
paper, especially when the surface is
under strong light. Since green is
known to be the color most restfui to
the eyes, it is a common practice to
use wall papers and draperies of that
color in libraries and private studies.
For writing paper, however, green is
an unsatisfactory color 1t imparts a
reddish appearance to the writing. and
makes it hard to read.
Yellow writing paper is not open to
the same objection In strong day-
light it is softer than pure white pa
per. and in artificial light is not too
dark. Black letters on a yellowish
background show clear and distinct.
Many mathematicians use yellow pa.
per in figuring long and difficult cal
culations. and many writers have
adopted it for manuscripts. II has the

You will NOT wait for him?'
Hardly. You heard what he said

sooner than they expect"
He stepped forward into the open
doorway, and blew three shrill blasts
on silver whistle. The echo had
scarcely died away, when, out from
thick clump of trees perhaps half a
mile distant, horse shot forth, rae,
ing toward us. AS the reckless rider
drew up suddenly, saw him to be a

The boy, grinning happily, swung
his horse around, and. jabbing his sides
with bare heels, rode madly away di-
rectly south across the vacant land.
Within five minutes he had vanished
down sharp incline. Farrell was still
staring after him, when / asked:
What is it?''

said grimly. III you'll go with me to-
