ing true to myself as well as to
my brother farmers must try /
and answer.
I'm the first place, it seems to

be increased on the land value,
and he throws up breast work |
for justification by quoting Mr..
Vanderbilt. Mr.. Gates, and The |
Standard Oil Co. and others of
swearing falsely in amount OF
their personal property.
Now then he seems to want to
punish the farmer or the poor
man who owns a little house and
lot, and burden them because
Gates. Vanderbilt and others did
wrong. Would Uncle Henry not
make a fine Judge?
TO illustrate: Smith committed
a murder as dark as midnight.
/ Makes his escape, then he takes
Jones out and hangs him merely
because he could find Jones SO
you see some one had to be hung
and he could only find Jones.
Now he signs himself, ga Seeker
After Truth. "
If that really is the object why
does he not give Henry George
and the motive in full?
Listen, what Henry George
says:
1--WE must make land common
property. Let them continue to
call it their land. 1t is only nee
essary to confscate rent. We
have only to make some such
changes in our modes of taxation
to take it all. d."
Henry George says further:
Let them buy sell and bcqueath
and devise. We may safely leave
them the shell if we take the
kernel.
Brother farmers as well as mer-
chants, don't be deceived. The
single tax is today the greatest
question that confronts us. Single
tax means destruction to the mcr-
chant, to the banker, to the la
bOrer as well as to the farmer
Now, "Seeker After Truth,

ask if the merchant and banker
could do business in the air. No.
