actual result. In Dunn's Review OF
Trade ut the close OF 1898 we read,
starting with the largest trade
ever known, mills crowded with
work and all business stimulated
by high hopes, the year 1898 has
proven In sudden shrinkage of
trade, In commercial disasters and
depression OF industries the worst
for fifty years. Whether the final
results of the panic OF 1873 when
the tariff had been gradually re-
duced to n revenue basis ware
relatively more severe the scanty
records OF that time do not clear
iy show. The year closes with the
prices OF many products the lowest
ever known. with millions Of work
ers seeking In vain for work and
with charity laboring to keep back
suffering and starvation In all
cities."

THE SINGLE TAX
WHAT It MEANS
The Truth In a Nut Shell Regarding
the New System.
SHIFTS THE BURDEN TO FARMERS
City ekyserspers, Big Manufacturing
Plants, %erswerles, Elevators, ETC.,
Exempted Under Proposed
New Law.

Just what Is Single Taxi" is q ques.
ton heard most frequently. since Mis-.
souri, Is to vote on the question Nov.
s. Here's exactly what Single Tax
means and what will happen II Mis-.
souri, fails to vote NO on the consti.
tutional amendment.
No tax on bonds. notes. mortgages.
automobiles, stock, carriages, mer-
chandise or any other form Of personal
property.
No tax on any building whatsoever.
All taxes on the value of land, ex.
elusive OF improvements; and upon
corporate franchises.
The results OF Single Tax will be:
A shifting OF the burden OF state
and county tax FROM THE CITIES
TO THE COUNTRY. The improve
ments and personal property in the
cities are at least two or three times
the value Of the bare lots-even with
the present lax enforcement OF the
personal property law. The same to-
tai annual revenue must be raised
under the proposed law as now. The
result a only be to make the coun
try pay more taxes and the cities less.
Any school boy can figure that out.
In towns there will be n similar
shifting from improved lots to unim.
proved lots.
A skyscrapcr will pay no tax; and
lots under II will pay only as much as
the unimprovcd land In the immediate
vicinity. The owner OF n lot with q
$4,000 mansion on II will pay no
moro tax than the owner OF an nd.
joining lot with a $4,000 dwelling.

The cold winter greatly reduced
