is IT UNLIMITED TAXATION e?
Would the Carrying Of the Single Tax
Amendment Mean Unlimited
Taxation for Missouri?

Would the carrying of the Single
Tax Amendments at the November
election mean that Missouri would
have unlimited taxation? This is a
question that the practical citizen
wants answered before he casts his
vote. The best source to which to 60
for the answer is the Amendment it.
self. This is the way it reads Part
!, Section a.:
"The existing constitutional limita,
tions upon the rates of taxation for
state, county, school and municipal
purposes shall have no force and ef.
feet after January /, 1914"
This is the spirit Of Single Tax. 1t
means unlimited taxation. Henry
George, its great exponent, says;
In every civilized country, even
the newest, the value of the land,
taken as a whole, is sufficient to bear
the entire expenses of government, In
the better developed countries 1t is
much more than sufficient. Hence, 1t
will not be enough to merely place all
taxes upon the value of land. 1t will
be necessary, where rent exceeds the
present governmental revenues, com.
IN 2nsurately to increase the amount
demanded in taxation, and to continue
this increase as society progresses and
rent advances, But this is so natural
and easy matter, that it may be con-
sidered as involved or at least under
stood, in the proposition to put all
taxes on the value of land This is
the first step upon which the prae.
tical struggle must be made"

There will be six separate tallots
at every polling place in the safe at
the election on November, 5th, viz,
republican, democratic, progressive,
prohibition, socialist and socialist labor.
The main fight, as usual, will be be-
tween the republicans ard the demo-
Gratis. The progressive party, weak in
leadership, weak in resources and weak
in its appeal to the popular vote, will
simply serve as a democtatic aid So
ciety, taking from the republican col
umn many honest anil sincere men
who otherwise would cast a republican
ballot this year. Misled by the people
who have iostered and fathered this
movement in the state, these honest
republicans will iisk the success oi The
party they have sustained Tor years just
at the time when their votes are most
needed. They are now marshaled
under a new banner on which is in.
scribed the word progressive" but
which ought to be pro democratic. "
With them are many democrats, per
haps enough to Offset the effect upon
the republican party Of deseriions liou
its ranks. It's probable that thousand.
Of democrats will vote the republican
ticket, as will many who have hereto
fore voted other tickets. The demo
cratic leaders know the situation anC
are alarmed, although they boast 0
their prospects. They are making
desperate campaign, knowing the weak
ness Of their cause.

That School Book Plank.

Following is the much discussed
plank Of the republican state platform
about the manufacture Of school books:
I'VE are opposed to the system OF
contract labor whereby the prisoners in
our penal Institutions are Iarmed out to

brought into compeiion with the free

under such restrictive laws as will guar

Great Sea Monster.

While one of the gardeners IN
BToomhall gardens was digging
trench recently, says the London
Globe, he came upon an ancient sand
bed. On further excavations being
made for the purpose Of securing sand
for gardening purposes, a huge bone
was discovered. The bone is believed
TO be one Of the vertebrae of a whale
or other great sea monster If that
be so, the waters Of the FL p Of Forth
must have extended at least a quarter
of mile farther inland at some very
remote period. The osseous find was
deposited in Lord Elgin's museum at
BroOmhall.

Governor Wilson, who wants to be
president OF the United States but is
hardly big enough for the job, made a
speech in St, Louis u few days ago
which was not reported at length in
any Of the big newspapers because his
voice was so low and his manner so
weak that even the stenographic re-
porters could not understand what he
said. Evidently the genial New Jersey
governor is not adapted to campaign
work.

Sir Thomas Upton is the moving
spirit in an international yacht race
at San Francisco in 1915: the Irish
sportsman is willing TO consider q
race across the Pacific to Honolulu
as second feature; Honolulu should
come forward to man to secure not
only the race, but q Hawaiian yacht
to contest it.
That is the skeleton outline OF news
and comment that is going the rounds
of the city today And enthusiasm
over the chance of another great
trans-Pacific yacht race is by no
means confined to yachtsmen, for
from q standpoint of pure business II
is generally conceded that such a
race, with its attendant publicity,
would be. the swery best advertising
that Honolulu and the Hawaiian Isl.
ands could secure. That Hawaii must
get in line, and pull together for the
success of the venture, is the general
sentiment, and when it comes to dis
cussing ways and means sportsmen
business men and professional men
are. confident of success. With more
than two years to build boat, pro
yided the race is assured, it is fig
