Csr1I1on In New York.

The stranger in New York was star
tied by the changing of an ambulance
bell. The ambulance stopped at the
SIDE door of hotel and the attend
ants hurriedly entered the building
with their stretcher. But there was
no crowd, no confusion.
Whats the excitement" the stran-
ger asked a native.
"There's no excitement" the latter
replied. "a stage lady has shot a
wealthy gentleman. That's all"
And he hurried along-Cleveland
Dealer.

Just west of town two cars and
two cabooses went in the ditch.
1t was a double-header and rather
long and the cars being empty is
supposed to have been the cause
of the rear ears flying off the

seriously hurt. One of the brake

to get off with that. Miss Lila

right by the side of the track, as
many people do, she would prob
ably have been killed. When
past a moving train it is
very dangerous to stay near the
track, as one never knows when
a bolt or tap or even a lump of
coal may fly off and seriously hurt
if not kill any one who is passing.

The Message appreciates the
above communication sent us by
Mr.. Johnston. Before receiving
it we had made brief mention of
the Single Tax in another column
of this paper.
The editor of the Message is
well acquainted with Mr.. Jewell
Mayes, of the Richmond Mis-
sourian, to which Mr.. Johnston
refers. Mr.. Mayes is an able fel-
low. We quote the paragraphs
below from his pen relative to the
Single Tax and later there will be
more said thru this paper.
There is a national organization
of Single Takers. They have mil
lions of dollars back of them in
their efforts to dodge paying their
taxes. The Missourian suggests a
motto for the Single Takers of
God help the rich-the farmer
will pay their taxes"
Missouri was picked out as the
state easiest to carry for Single
Tax because it requires only one
vote majority of the persons vot-
ing on the amendment whereas
many other states have stricter
regulations; because the majority
in Missouri have no real estate
Herein is food for thought-here,
in is danger unless vigorously or
ganized against and opposed.
Too many voters neglect the
Constitutional Amendments 49,
this time the farmer will be care
ful to vote "NO" on the Single
Tax and Tax Commission Amend
ments. TO not vote or to scratch
out these Amendments is, in a
sense, a half vote for Single Tax.
This Single Tax excuses and
frees the moneyed millionaires
from every penny of state, county
and city taXes-who will pay
their part Of these taxes2 Eh9
All forms of licenses are pro-
hibited under Single Tax except
saloons, houses of i'll fame and
other kindred vices requiring po-
lice regulation. Original Single
Tax did not plan to legalize
saloons and brothels as does this
Missouri brand of Single Tax. Do
you propose to countenance such
