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

Would the carrying of the Single
Tax Amendments az 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 70
for the answer is the Amendment It.
self, This is the way It reads part
!. Section ~:
"The existing constitutional limita
lions upon the rates of taxation for
state, county. school and municipal
purposes shall have no force and ef,
feet after January I, 19i4."
This IL the spirit OF Single Tax. It
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, IL sufficient to bear
the entire expenses Of government. In
the better developed countries II il

will not be enough to merely place al;
taxes upon the value of land. II win
be necessary, where rent exceeds the
present governmental revenues, com,

demanded In taxation, and to continue
this increase as society progresses and
rent advances, But this Ia SO natural
and easy a matter. that It may be con.
sidered as involved or at least under.

A peculiar feature OF the coming

An example of what women can do to
lower the price OF living without having
even a single vote is shown by what
they did recently in Pittsburg. Butter
was so cents pound. The women got
together. They promised each other
that they wouldn't grease skillet with
the horrid stuff, nor make any pound
cake, nor even allow it on their tables,
Egad! The boycott was complete. They
went 10 the stores every day and asked
the price of butter. When they were
told they turned up their noses There
were Ten thousand retrouSsee noses, or
maybe more, in Pittsburg for twelve
days The grocers thought it was the
butter they smelled, but it was the price.
The price being in bad odor began to
drop. 1t dropped from 80 cents to 80
cents, and then the women had the
pleasure of using the rancidest lot OF
butter they ever used, but they got ii
cheap, and it was all right.

The manner in which our congress
men kill time and haste the atmosphere
TO no purpose was exampled in the Con
gressional Record of Feb. 21st. Rep.
resentative Hobson arose TO a question
of personal privilege Another member
had called him a coward. He introduc-
ed a resolution calling for an investiga-
ton of the matter between them. Then
there arose a great parliamentary debate,
revolving about the question as 10 wheth-
er privileged question was a question
of privilege. After that was settled
there arose another great question, as to
whether a committee of congress could
properly go into such a momentous queS.
ton, involving long train of subject
matter leading up to the dispute. The
socialist member, MIR. Berger, said there
were $4,000 unemployed in Chicago,
and he thought congress had better in
vestigate that condition instead. After
lengthy debate upon the prophecies
of this sort of thing some member
had a happy thought, to-wit, why
couldn't the member who had called
Mr.. Hobson apologize. Good! No
body had thought of that The gen
tleman apologized and Mr.. Hobson with
drew his resolution, and the House ad
iourned for dinner, after an arduous
session.

They are without excuse. ~
RomS., l:20.

They are without excuse. ~
Roms., l;20.
Two weeks ago | made bold TO
say that the excuse" had no real ex-
istence; that ii was made-up affair
altogether. Back of the declaration
lay these words of Holy Writ God
says men are without excuse" for
their GodleSsnesS. And the reasons
for their excuSelessneSs are near at
hand. One of these is the fact that
God has put His own Divine power
into the gracious enterprise of saving
men from their sin and wrong. A
man may say, 'Pm wrong, but it's
my nature to be so. How am | to
help it?" The answer is that God
has made a way TO help it. As
father runs TO extricate a foolish son
from the results OF his own folly, so
God has come to save man from his
own wicked way. He puts His pow
er into this. For the Gospel is the
power of God unto salvation. We
think, too often, of the Gospel as be-
ing a book, sermon, theory of be-
ing saved. But these, at best, are
but proclaiming of the way of saliva
ton. The gospel itself is Gods
power; His dynamic for saving. And
it is ever effective and active. Prin-
cipal Forsyth says the Gospel is Gods
eternal act-hiS power exerted eter-
nalIy TO save. No man has any ex-
cuse for not being saved for lack of
DroyisiOn for saving him.
Another thing that robs a man of
excuse for not being saved is the fact
that God had made his need of saw
ing so plain. God has revealed His
wrath against sin. And why
shouldn't He? Man, in every law
that he enacts, reveals his wrath
against sin. Surely God ought 10 do
so. He has. And has shown that
the man who still hugs the leprous
syren of sin TO himself will be strick.
en- when God strikes that unclean
thing. God must kill sin, or sin will
kill God. And Gods wrath against
sin is plainly shown, and man knows
he ought to repudiate sin in order TO
insure his own safety. Knowing
this, there is no excuse for his refus-
ing to do it.
The third reason against excuses is
the revelation God has made OF all
these things. The invisible things of
God are clearly seen, being under
stood by the things that are made.
Henry Drummond, in his Natural
Law in the Spiritual World, led men
TO see that the laws discernible here
project into the unseen world. The
Seen World reveals the Unseen
Maker. Men know Him. They see
law supreme everywhere. They
know that righteousness must prevail;
and knowing this, and feeling that
their own righteousness is imperfect,
they are without excuse If they do
not grasp that righteousness that.sis
offered in the Gospel of the Son of
God. =.sS j. NJ. B.!

Edwin D. Lambright, editor of the
Tampa Tribune, has announced as a
candidate for delegate at large to the
national Democratic convention. We
hope to see Lambright elected, not so
much that he is for Harmon as that he is
a level-headed fellow, newspaper man
OF unusual ability and has never asked
for any office and has this laudable am
bition 10 have a hand in making the
next president. Incidentally, this cam
paign has brought more newspaper men
TO the fore as political candidates than
any campaign that we recall. Frank
Harris of the Ocala Banner, and George
Mathews of the Fl. Lauderdale Sentinel,
are candidates for delegates at large.
Harris is for Harmon and Mathews is for
Wilson. T. J. Appleyard, all round
newspaper man and state printer, is also
candidate for delegate at large; he is for
Harmon. Wayne Thomas of the Plant
City Courier, is candidate for delegate
from the First district; he's for Vision.
A. P. Jordan of the Punta Gorda Herald,
is candidate for delegate from the same
district; he's for Harmon. Frank MayeS
of the Pensacola Journal, is candidate
from the Third district; he advocates
Wilson. Eugene Matthews of the
Starke Telegraph, is candidate for ma
tional committeeman. Then there is
Charlie Jones who wants to be presiden-
tial elector, and Claude L'Engle and Al
bert Williamson who are antagonizing
Zach other for Congressman at Large.
We wish all of them could be elected.
Some OF them cannot be, but the most
of them can and probably will be. None
