The Water We Eat.

The water we eat with our daily
food, aside from the water we drink,
is something amazing. Our luscious
strawberries are 80 per cent water,
S 1-2 per cent sugar 2 Id per cent
cellulose and seeds. 1t is still more
disconcerting to be told by a writer
in Popular Mechanics that when
the thrifty housewife expends from
20 to % cents per pound for the
best cuts of beef about go per cent
of the sum is being paid for water.
Yet such is the case, about 60 per
of the bulk of uncooked beef or
mutton being water. The flesh of
pigeons is about 70 per cent water,
that of fowls and ducks IS per cent,
while a really fat goose may have
as little as 38 per cent of water in
its composition. The flesh of fish
varies considerably in the quantity
of water contained, the figures
ranging, according to the kinds of
fish, from 40 to so per cent. =

Rest a Bit.

Let us rest ourselves a Bit
Worry-wave your hand at it
Kiss your finger-tips and smile
1t farewell a little while.
Let US pause and catch a breath
On the hither side of death -
While we see the tender shoots
OF the grasses, not the roots.
Voyage off, between the trees,
Ger the fields enchanted seas,
Where the lilies are our sails,
And our sea.eulls. nightingales.
Where no wilder-storm shall beat
Then the wind that waves the wheat
And no tempest burst above
The old laugh we used to love.
Lose all troubles gain release,
Languor and exceeding peace,
Cruising idly DER the vast,
Calm mid-ocean of the past.
Let US rest ourselves bit!
Worry-wave your hand at it
Kiss your finger-tips and smile
1t farewell a little while.

measure ever proposed in the his
tory of the state. By exempting
the non-land owner from personal
and poll taxes is it not to his inter-
est to vote for it-and are there
not many thousands more voters in
Missouri who do not own land than
those who do? There are scores of
big manufacturers in St. Louis and
Kansas City whose taxes are al
most entirely personal. They EN-.
ploy thousands of men who don't
own foot of land and | ask you
whether these manufacturers are
not almost certain to appeal to
their employees to vote for this
Amendment-th eby exempting
themselves from taxes of every de-
scription henceforth? Cannot any
man see that the inherent selfish
ness of this proposal is apt to give
it an overwhelming vote in every
city of any consequence in the state?
it is not even safe to assume that
every owner of real estate in the
towns and cities will vote against
it for it is true in many instances
that a business man who has eX-
tensive business interests pays a
larger personal tax than he pays
upon the land on which his home
is located.
1t therefore behooves every farm
er in Missouri to arouse himself to
the end that the solid country vote
the vote of farmers who own
farms - may be cast against it in
November. l would suggest the
organization of an Anti-Single Tax
League in every county in the state
as speedily as possible in order that
a powerful and well planned cam
Ipaign may be directed against it -
for in my humble judgment it will
take an effort of this kind to insure
its defeat in November. I cannot

Anyone desiring sample copy may

Our Farmers Must Wake Up.


of Missouri are not more aroused
over the impending menace of the
Single Tax Amendment which will
be voted upon in November and
hence | ask for little space in your
newspaper in order that | might
call attention to some phases of
this question which is of such far
reaching consequence to the farm
ers of this state.
While a number of other amend.
ments failed to secure the necessa. |
ry number of petitioners required
by the. Initiative and Referendum
statute the Single Tax Amendment
had plenty to spare which is an in-
dication that the agitators behind
it have strong support and the fight
from present prospects will be no
idle matter: hence it is absolutely
essential that the land owners of
Missouri arouse themselves if they
expect to defeat its adoption.
In nut shell, the Single Takers
propose to exempt all personally
from taxation and place the entire
burden of the states revenues upon
land owners. Should it be adopted
it means that the owners of Mis-
souri, farms and real estate in the
towns and cities will have to as
sumo an added burden of more
than 100000 per annum. This
proposal is based upon the specious
pretext that society collectively Gre
ates the real value of land and that
hence land should bear the entire
burden of taxation. BY taxing the
"unearned increment" in land it is
alleged that a greater development
and improvement in land will fol-
low. To soothe the fears of the
land owner, however, he is told that
in as much as he will be exempt
from paying a tax upon his person
atty the added tax upon his land
will mean that in the end he will
pay no more under the Single Tax
than nnder the present system
This argument of course is utterly
false and deceptive. The report Of
the State Auditor shows that we
collect an annual tax upon personal
E property in Missouri in excess Of
. 100000. When you remit this
n tax it means that the land owners
of the state will have to make it up
:. that they will have to pay ST.
v 100000 more than they paid before
under the old system.
But here is further fact which
shows the utter falsity of the Single
Takers argument on this score. In
one breath he tries to allay the
: fears of the land owner by telling
b him that by remittine his tax upor
personal property there will be nc
!. increase in the gross amount O
3 money he has to pay. In the mex
breath he contends that raising III,
tax of the land owner means thai
he will be forced to improve hi:
lands in self defense in order t
avoid bankruptcy and ruin. Thai
both arguments cannot be true il
so self evident that the wayfarer
though fool. cannot help but de
tect its hypocracy.
The astounding thing is that not
one farmer in ten seems to have
grasped the true intent of this in
iquitous proposal Others profes
to look upon its adoption only as {
remote possibility. 10 all such
want to say that if the campaign
behind this amendment is properl!
oreanized-and have no right t
assume that it will not be-there il
the greatest sort of danger in it:
