Following the naming Of these com
mittees. Judge w. II. wallace Of
Kansas City. began speaking.
Pres. !. W. Million introduced the
speaker.
Judge Wallace declared that the
angle tax proposition was against
all natural. common and divine laws
and was aimed at the common own
ership Of the land as could be PROV
ed By any one who took care TO e
anime Henry Georges ideas along
that line.
Judge Wallace declared that the
practical operation OF the single tax
would end in the ~confiseation Of land
and abolition Of all other sorts Of
revenue, especially dramshop licenses
81 filing matters on a al scale that
the renter would have to pay double
upon the assumption that the ultim-
ate consumer always pays the freight
whichever way the cat jumps.
Judge Wallace took a concrete ex
ample and declared that the rental
en- land values would pay the ex
penses Of the government.
Judge Wallace pointed out The dan
ger OF scratching all amendments up
on the assumption that such an ae
ton would be a vote against any
one amendment in particular. Thu
speaker declared that such a view
OF the matter was a serious reflec
tion upon the common sense and
the intelligence of the people
Scratching every amendment, SAT-
the single tax would stand a gooi
show of being carried as such
manner Of voting was not voting a
ali.
Judge Wallace also spoke in be
half Of the amendment to open tn
ballot boxes OF the state In cases o
fraud. Reyerting again to the sir
. Gle tax proposition the speaker sal
.that the tax on franchises which tn
single tax would leave undisturbet
produced only two per cent OF tn
revenue OF the state hence nothin
could be hoped for from that source.
The speaker pointed out that Je
seph FEELS, the Naptha soap mar
! was prepared 10 pour into thi
! state sS00.0 900 in order to carry IN
single TAX amendment and that a
Of the brewers and the great corpoi
ations were in favor Of the amend
ment.
