ARTICLE NO. FOUR.
BY Edmond Norton.

Here is some of 1.-THE rest" that
the last paper spoke of.
Just take this question home to
the silence of your mind and heart
till the answer comes to you:
what would be the condition of
the worlds happiness, peace and
comfort If every mortgage, death
grip and every lawyer, law and
litigation appertaining thereto,
should be abolished forever?
For this is exactly what the
Single Tax UNLIMITED would do
by destroying the selling price,
and Misunderstanding power of land
except a tax by the government
that would give it all back to the
people in equal benefits-the pow
er to mortgage would be gone for
ever. With it would be gone also
the interest, laws, lawyers and liti-
cations connected Herewith. What
would that mean to mankind?
Along with all this would go
those old plays and novels where
the poor daughter sells herself to
save her fathers farm-the vii
lain wouldn't want 1t. What's the
use of farm to a villain if he
must work it? Villains don't work
farms: they own the farms and
work the farmers who work the
farms. This is the law.
And bonds might also vanish,
with their interest, laws, lawyers,
litigations, ETC., for the creation of
a public expenditure, to make any
improvement whatever, benefits
nothing but land values. To take
these land values to pay for their
own creation would make bonds
unnecessary.
| know this would be hard on
the lawyers; but there would be
the land-they might go to work.
The land would still be here. On
the authority of an eastern farm
journal. the government figures
show that all the farms, planta-
tions. ranches-cattle and others

ONE RAP OF THE OLD DUCKS BILL SENT
THE RAT ON HIS BACK.
the sloping board walk, dipped his bill
into the water to see II it was warm
and then started to swim away.
He had gone nearly to the end Of the
island and was having happy time
when out from behind big bush
swan an old drake, or grandfather
duck, big and strong and very cross.
The little duck was, Of course, much
frightened. He tried to turn round
and swim back, but he just pounded
the water with his feet and beat 1t
with his small wings without going
ahead any.
The big duck swan right up to him
and gave him hard thump with his
bill, which drove his head clear under
the water, so that he got his mouth
full and almost choked. The big duck
followed him and kept rapping him
with his bill. Not until he was almost
back to the little house did the old
quacking Grossly.
The little duck crawled out Of the
water and lay on his side on the
warm sand, trying to get his breath
and too tired to move or even stand.
Just then he saw something that
filed him with terror. Out Of one Of
the lower doors In the house big
gray rat was creeping. His tiny black
eyes were shining like beads, and he
was looking right at the little duck.
Nearer and nearer the rat crept. The
duck tried to get up on his feet.
He was so frightened that he cried
peep, peep" as loud as he could.
It was q small, weak voice, and the
only one to hear It was the old drake.
He knew that 1t was cry for help.
and he began to paddle and fiutter as
fast as he could toward the shore, all
the time crying "Quack, Quack" in
such a way that all the other ducks
heard Of 1t and knew something was
wrong. In the face of real danger he
quickly turned protector.
The rat had stopped now, as II he
did not quite know what to do, and
just rs the drake reached the shore
the rat turned and started to crawl
back under the house. He was just
too late. One rap Of the old brakes
bill sent him over on his back. Be-
fore he could get up he had hit him
another rap, and, squealing loudly, he
ran In under the duck house, glad to
get away. The rat family had no din
Rer that night, and the old father rat
had to stay In bed for three days.
AS for the little duck, he was happy
enough to have his mother take him
by the wing and drag him up the
board and into the nest.-Youth's Com
