The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1912-01-03

Prof. Albert Weiss, who is now
teaching agriculture at Granite Falls,
Mimi, spent New Years with his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Weiss. in
Denison. Professor Weiss likes Gran
lite Falls very much and is getting
along nicely in his work. He has some
seventy students under his direct
charge. The community around Gran
lite Falls is strictly agricultural and
while the past season was somewhat
dry, 20 bushels of corn to the acre
was not uncommon.
The Episcopal Sunday school held
their Christmas tree last Thursday
evening, when there was a good at
tendance of members and friends of
the church present. The church was
beautifully decorated for the occasion
and lovely evergreen tree had been
secured. This, we'll filled with pres
ents and candy, nuts and oranges,
made most pleasing effect.A suit
able and entertaining program was
carried out, DR.. w. T. Wright reading
the service. Mrs. Shaw Van as super
lntendent, assisted by others, worked
faithfully to make the affair success
and pleasing to the children.

TAXING THE INCREMENT.

Lloyd George, the British Chancel-
lor of the Exchequer, is putting into
practice the theory advanced by the
late Henry George in the United
States. He is taxing what is known
as the "unearned increment" as ap.
piled to real estate. BY the growth
of the community the value of real
estate is enhanced without any ex-
penditure on the part of the owner
thereof and hence the two Georges
claim that the community is entitled
to the benefit of the increase in value.
The property on Hennepin avenue in
this city. Of which the late Elder
Stewart was the owner, will serve for
an illustration of the "unearned i'm
crement"

estate and the foundation of his for
tune was acquired in dealing in furs
in the Far West.
The real estate holdings of William
Waldorf Astor, now of England, and
of the late Colonel John Jacob Astor,
in New York city alone, are rated at
s150,0OO,0OO each. And numerous
slices have been cut off in different
generations for collateral heirs. Old
Peter Goelet bought farm on what
is now lower Broadway for $4,000
which is now estimated to be worth
s2O0.oo0,ooO.
William Waldorf Astor shook tie
dust of America from his feet and is
now hobnobbing with the British aris-
tocracy. He has denationalized HIM
self by becoming a British subject
and is working hard for a title. Other
Americans after becoming wealthy by
means Of the protective tariff have
followed Astor's example by going to
England to reside there permanently,
They have never added much to the
wealth of the country where their
fortunes were made. Their ambition
was to marry their daughters to Brit
ish dukes and earls and get into high
social circles. 1t is a good thing to
get rid of such despicable creatures,
but something should be done to pre-
vent them from using American
money abroad from rentals of houses
and real estate in this country. The
Henry George plan of taxing land
values up to their full rental value
may be considered confiscation, but
1t is the only policy that would bring
the American absentee millionaires to
their senses.

fort should be made to pass the wool
bill over Taft's veto before the al

the members of each house on record.
To the credit of the Minnesota con.

of them, all Republicans but one
voted for the passage of the wool bill
at this session.
Since writing the above, the House
passed the bill by vote of 174 to

member from Minnesota voted against
Taft's veto, but the Senate is likely

Debs' organ, the Appeal to Preiu-

England has come to America as the
special representative of the Pope at
Rome in order to check the progress
of socialism. Such a statement is OF
a par with many others that appear
from time to time in our veracious
contemporary. The Pope has nothing
to do with the coming or going OF
Father Vaughan. Let the Appeal I'd
Reason meet Father Vaughan's argu-
ments with facts and not assumptions
and let the Pope alone. The vener-
able pontiff does not bother his head
about what Debs' organ says on So

dare say he has never heard of such

vEroEs THE Wool BILL AGAIN

The sheep will cut quite figure in
this years campaign. President TAT,
has again refused to sign the wool
bill passed by a combination of Demo-
Gratis and Progressives in Congress.
year ago he vetoed the measure
because the tariff board was not ready
to report; this time he vetoes it be-
cause when the tariff board sub.
mitted its report it was rejected hy
Congress. which pronounced the bin
as being far from Scientific" So
little did the House think of the COM
potency of the board appointed By
Taft that it failed to pass an appro.
priation to compensate the members
thereof for future work.
The board Is practically abolished
now and matters stand as they did
when Taft signed the Payne Aldrick
bill at the beginning of his term
That bill he called 'the best ever
passed." though later on he modified
his opinion by saying that schedule
K was "indefensible"
In vetoing the bill the second time
he explains his attitude by saying
that he wants to ascertain the differ
ence between the cost of production
of wool at home and abroad. How
is he going to obtain his informa-
ton when the tariff board is no more:
Had the board been In existence still
it would be an utter impossibility for
it to get the information sought. Tho
tariff plank in the Republican plat
form of 1908 promises to adjust the
tariff according to difference between
the cost of production at home and
abroad. plus a reasonable profit to
the American manufacturers" Tha,
promise of the Republican party with
Taft at Its head will never be carried
out. 1t is impracticable. and the
trainers of the bill knew 1t.
The President appears to think
more OF the wool growers and manu-
facturers than he does of the millions
of ultimate consumers who win
wear wooden clothing this winter and
yet he thinks he ought to get Sec
ond term in the White House! He
pays more attention to the advice OF
Root and smoot and the other cham
pions of high protection than to the
true representatives Of the people in
both Houses of Congress. He thinks
that 20 per cent on raw wool and 40
per cent on cloths is not enough. The
majority of the plain people, regarl-
less of party politics. have contrary
opinion. Taft is making the mistake
Of his life. If Congress wants tar
if commission at future day. Tai:
will not have the appointment of eX-
perts. Congress itself will appoint
the board and the board will repor:

and disappointed man.

reason is obvious. No Roosevelt cleo
