The adoption OF single tax In
Missouri, would Immediately drive
back all foreign capital seeking

Cap.tal Is not cowardly, but ex-
cessively cautious and will not
enter any locality where economic
conditions are unsettled or nicer

single tax, no eastern money would

the multiplied millions OF life in
suranc company and other outside
money now invested in Missouri
farm mortgages would be recall
ed Immediately or their maturity,
and the farmer, being unable to
borrow elsewhere, would simply
have to sacrifice his farm to pay
the mortgage. Missouri farmers
had a slight taste of this thing a
few years ago when the people
bhndly adopted the mortgage tax
amendment to the constitution, the
effect OF which was to drive much
money from the state and advance
the interest rates within. The
consequence OF that amendment
bad as they were, were but a drop
in the bucket when compared with
the disastrous results which would
follow the adoption OF the single
tax.

Tomorrow evening the pastor of the First Presbyterian Church. Rev. John MacLaren Richardson, will give the last in series of sermons on the 17th chapter of the Gospel of John. There Is a growing interest on the part of many denominations in the matter of church union. Not only are churches in the same city coming closer togeth- CT in Christian work, but ecclesias ical organizations including large sections of the country are making plans for federation. This possibility was out lined long time ago when the prin- cipies of the church were first placed before men. MT. Richardson will show some of the developments which are now going on and the fundamental causes which must continue to act in uniting all the forces of Christendom. MT. Elmer S. Joyce, organist of the church, will give recital twenty min- utes before the service, while the quar- tet music will be in harmony with the subject of the evening.
