The Single Tax Amendment.

/
The Single Tax Amendment
which will be submitted to the vot-
ers of Missouri at the November
election is the most dangerous and
revolutionary economic measure
ever proposed in the history of the
state. Should it be enacted into
law it means that henchforth the
farmers and other land owners of
Missouri will have to bear the en-
tire cost of state, county and mu-
nicipal government, for the passage
of this amendment will wipe out
all taxes on personally - compelling
land to bear the entire burden. 1t
means that henceforth the hum
dreds of millions of dollars invested
in bonds, stocks, notes and other
corporation securities the million
invested in our great manufactur-
ing enterprises-that all these In
terests will not hereafter contribute
penny of local or state revenue.
In round figures this added burden
upon land owners will amount to
approximately ten million dollars
per annum for the whole state.
To give the reader an idea of
what this means to the farmers of
the average county | will take
Boone county as an example; in
this county the remission of all per-
sonal taxes means that the owners
of farms will have to pay an in
crease of $50, 106 on the basis of
taxes paid in 1911. That the farm
ers' own personal taxes be RENTED
is a soft soap argument which
doesn't get anywhere. The cold
fact remains that under the Single
Tax system the farmers of Boone
county will have to pay $56,106
more than they are paying at the
present time and in varying de-
grees this will hold good for every
county in the state.-Missouri

Where All Animals are White

What is known as a white
farm" is located near Puyallup,
Wash, the owner of a place being
Eugene Jacquemin, a lover of ma
ture and live stock. For years he
has been gathering together white
animals and fowls, which are all
housed in spotleSS shelters and per-
mitted to roam within the bounds
of white fences.
This white farm" is one of the
several found in other parts of the
globe and is unique because it con-
tains many specimens of albino an
finals and birds.
White horses do all the farm
work. White ponies play with the
children. White COWS furnish but
ter and milk. There are white
hogs, sheep and goats. The pig
cons, chickens, ducks, ducks, geese,
turkeys and guinea fowls are all
white. The guinea fowls are i'm
ported from Africa. A novelty is
pair of peacocks, pure white.
About the yard three white Spitz
dogs play and white Persian cats
lounge on the porches. In the or
chard the farmer has an albino
elk, three white deer, a mountain
sheep and a polar bear cub. There
are in aviaries a pure white mag
pie, white black birds, pheasantS,
wild swan, crane and storks.-San
Francisco Chronicle.

The Great Change in
The Homestead Law?

Everybody entitled to a home
stead wants one, of course, but I'M
til the recent law was passed, a
homesteader was required to live
continuously on the land for five
years before the government would
turn it over to him to be his very
own. Now it is altogether different
and irrigated farms in the Big Horn
Basin of Wyoming and Yellowstone
Valley of Montana, Mondell 800
acre free homesteadS in Wyoming
and 640-acre unirrigated free Kin
kaid homesteads in Nebraska, can
be taken up on a new and liberal
plan. You can prove up and get
title in three years time, and will
be permitted to leave your home
stead five months each year, so
that you can go home and earn
money with which to buy stock
and get your homestead farm 90
ing. This is very important and
opens up a splendid opportunity to
men, young and old, to get we'll
fixed.
Write me what kind of land you
are interested in, and will write
you all about the new law and the
lands that the government will
grant you.
You can get a railroad ticket
from Omaha to Thermopolis and
return, for instance, at a rate of
S31.75-and a proportionate rate
from other points-any time until
September 80, good until October
81. On such ticket you can see
the 640-acre homesteads in Neb-
raska, the Mondell lands in Wyo-
ming, the Yellowstone Valley lands
at Huntley and Billings, Mont, and
the irrigated lands in the Big Horn
Basin. Think what a grand trip
this would be.
Perhaps you could arrange to 90
with me on one of the homeseek-
ers' excursions which the Burling-
ton Route will run to these lands
on October 1 and Is, or know some
one else who would like to 90.
l have no land for sale-the Bur-
lington merely employs me to give
information and assist anyone in
tereSted in this wonderful country,
without charge. Let me know from
what point you will start and on
what date you wish to 90. will
send you information about the
lands and tell you just how and
where to meet me in Omaha. D.

Willing to 0bliee.

A story comes from a town where
firms advertise to sell fish direct to
small purchasers. The glowing ad-
Vertisements asked for the sending
of half a dollar with the list of the
varieties of fish preferred. One let
ter read:
Il want two salmon, a dozen
whiting, a dozen fresh herring, some
founders, and if you have them
you can add lobster"
The next day the lady received a
letter, which ran:
Dear Madam: Please send an
other dime and we will forward
the fisherman."-Dallas News.
"Cremate or deeply bury the
dead" We wish that we could have
that sentence printed in letters a
foot high on a sign that couldn't be
missed and must be needed, and
posted on every poultry plant every
where. Cremation is best, and far
better than burial, but deep burial
is better than the carelessness which
leaves dead fowls and chicks lying
about on the poultry plant, in ma
nure heaps, in open pits or in ad-
joining woods and fields. We re-
peat. whenever you find a dead fowl
or chick or kill a sick one, cremate
or deeply bury it (beyond chance
of being dug up by dogs or skunks)
and do it Immediately. Don't wait,
don't hesitate, get busy Columbia

tragedy OF the sea has nearly closed,
,3aen found necessary to bury
not less than 116 at sea Among
those brought to port we're the bod
les OF two women. The total NUM-
Der Of bodies found in the water was
800.
Hopes that the body of Lucian p.
Smith. the young bridegroom who
went down in the. Titanic disaster.
might be in the passenger list OF the
cable line steamer Mackay- Bennett,
were shattered when Mrs. Smith, at
the home of her parents, Congress

that her husbands body has not
been identified The message wls
from James Smith..a brother Of the
drowned man. who was at Halifax,
Nova Scotia, when the Mackay- BEN
nett docked. He said that all the
bodies had been identified except
one. and that Lueian p. Smith was
not among them.
Mrs, Smith has not entirely abau-
doned hopes that the body OF her
husband may be recovered. Other
ships are reported to have been
cruising in the neighborhood of tn.
great disaster. and II is regarded as
possible that his corpse might be re-
covered and identified.
