Nothing is further from
warrant in fact than the anxiety
of Missouri farmers over the
single-taX amendment. Mis-
souri, is rural State. As the
farmers go, Missouri goes. The
amendment would be beaten
overwhelmingly ii not a speech
were made or II dollar spent in
opposition to it.
1t is, in fact, beaten already.
But it will not be in order to
forget the tax question when
the vote shall have been count
ed Back of the tax amend
meuts there is much more than
enthusiasm over the theories
of Henry George. There is
deep and just dissatisfaction
with the present tax system OF
Missouri, which is chaotic, un-
just and unreasonable.
The taxing power is the funda.
mental power Of government
as the old Colonial confeder-
alton found out to its cost, be.
fore the adoption of the Federal
Constitution. 1t is Of the last
importance 10 the well-heing OF
industry and commerce and the
happiness of citizens that it be
wisely exercised. Unequal anC
unjust taxation breeds discon,
tent and wars against pros.
perity.
The Democracy should stand
for something definitely con.
structive on this taxation issue
The certain defeat Of single tex
will leave us as badly off as
ever unless advantage be taken
Of the interest which the dis
cussion has excited to move fol
sane and well-considered tax re,
form. The ghost Of the single,
tax proposition cannot be laid
by "A mere negative vote. Its
advocates are enthusiastic and
! it will continue to come W
again and again, 50 long as the
inequalities Of the present
system remain uncorrected.-

As The Leader Sees It.

The Vandalia Leader comment
ed last week as follows:
The Grand Jury, after an
investigation has made its usual
report concerning the Audrain
County Jail. that it is unsafe and
unsanitary. walls cracked, found
alton decayed, walls out of plumb
and held together with iron rods
the cells without light and VENT
htion and no means of separating
men and women or blacks and
white. The grand Jury recon-
mend, that "a new building be
erected. at a cost of $4,000, this
issue TO be presented to the voters
lat the November election. The
Jail proposition has been threshed
out in these columns numberless
times and there is no doubt but
that the voters who read this paper
are fully acquainted with the de-
Ip'orablc condition of the Audrain
county Jail. The bond issue. as
proposed, calls for $25, 900 which
will run five years at five per cent,
and will cost six cents on the 500
valuation, AN amount that will
work hardship on no one. 1t Is
estimated that farm worth
$1,000, and assessed at $1,000
would pay an increased tax Of
sixty cents per year or $500 for
the five years. Audrain needs a
new Jail. She needs it not only as
a humanitarian issue, but for the
Reputation of her good citizenship.
Vandalia did her duty last election
by voting a good majority, and
she will probably make it larger
this year.
