The Single Tax.

incomes is thefairest solution of
the tax problem. Then if man

net be compelled to be a great
loser by paying taxes on the cost

would not hold farm land or
town lots without improving
them If they paid as much as
their neqghbor, who was develop

deVelopes his property would
pay a tax on hlS income If it
was farm and he had a good
crop he would pay more tax
than If it was a case where his
crop was taken by a hail storm.

MISTAKES.

The editor Of a newspaper is
not infallible and makes mistak es
the same as any other human be-

The nature Of an editors work
makes his mistakes more con
spicuous. After pondering over
this subject recently, Manford

The following was clipped
from the Youths Companion and
makes a good story, although
we cannot vouch for it's truth
"On the Old Rosebud Indian
reservation. in South Dakota,
sa.s the Youths Com
pani>n they still laugh
over the peculiar pre-
dicament into which a new In
dian agent once got himself.
The agent an unqualified
tender foot. was inspecting an
Indian school Noticing that as
soon as he entered the room
every girl present brought her
hair forward over her face he
asked the teacher to tell them to
throw it back so that he might
see their faces. But this they re-
fused to do until after much
urging one girl did finally un-
cover her face. After school was
out the agent wondered at the
strange actions Of the girl who
had shown him her face. She
followed him to the house, enter
ed after him and set abunt get
ing his dinner AS he spoke no
Sioux, and she no English, he
could get no explanation from
her.
Finally, to his relief, the
teacher rode mp. Shaking with
laughter, she asked the agent
how he liked his new wife. Then
the latter understood what he
had done. In certain tribes of the
Sioux Indians all a man need do
IN order to geta wife is to in
dnce a girl to uncover her face.
The agent had proposed in the
usual way-and had been ac-
cepted.
In vain did the agent plead
that he ALREADY had a wife in
the east. There was only one way
to get out Of it. 1t cost him the
equivalent Of II ponies to per
suade the Indian girl s father to
take her back again.

What is strange about the
mistakes Of a newspaper man is
the fact that no matter how
many errors he makes in lying
about another man S qualities he
never lays himself liable to be
punctured with a thirty two or
lynched. Indeed it is funny old
world. Everybody makes mis-
takes. The only ones who never
make them are slumbering in
the cemeteries and it is not un-
likely that some Of them are
there because the doctors also
make mistakes. A man often
makes a mistake by marrying

post graduate course in how to
support himself. A fine woman

An experiment at the High

seems to be favorable to such a
method in arid sections. One

was planted in drills, twelve in
ches apart, another with double
rows six inches apart and skip
Of thirty-six inches, and still
another with three rows six in
ches apart and a skip of thirty
inches. Cultivating was done
with spring tooth weeder.
While fields drilled in the ordin-
airy way wilted and were cut
for hay, all the cultivated plots
promise fair yield of grain.
While sections of the north
west have for the past three
years been visited by drought it
appears that this year unpre-
cedented dry weather prevails
over the entire country. The rain

Shearn Explains Grounds for Suit.

In opening his argument against vacat-
ing the injunction before Justice Davis
Dir. Shearn said that grounds upon which
the suit were based We're the iliegal!ty OF
the contracts In that they constituted
gift and gratuity Of city funds TO private
corporations and further that the COM
mission had failed to let the public know
the terms of the contracts. 1t was true.
he SAID that the Court of Appeals mad
decided that the city could enter into a
partnership with private corpor atoms UNI
der the constitution. but the present al
legations were that the city was under
taking 20 give money to corporations
without due compensation. which was not
only against the constitution. but against
the common law
Mr.. Shearn then went into an analysis
CT the contracts. He said the INTERIOR
ough had misstated the facts In declar-
ing the earning capacity OF their property
was 81, $4,000 a year, having failed to take
note OF the fact that there was loss OF
$4,000 a year In deprec alton. For forty
n.ne years that would mean Gs.VO,VU.
However. he said, he noted that the In
terborough had allowed for the deprecia-
ton account in the proposed pool of
earnings.
The whole handling of the thing, Mr..
Shearn added. smacked of bad faith. He
said Mayor Gaynor had denounced JUS
tice Hendrick for giving the people a
chance to be heard. He then read some
remarks OF the Mayor many months ago
In which he said the city was being over
reached by some financiers. I'VE can get
along without entering into such an al
narce." the Mayor said. II shall go out
of office without putting that stain on my
name
You can take these remarks Of the
Mayor for what they are worth" said Mr..
Shearn.
This so excited a lawyer in the court
room. who declined to give his name,
that he jumped up and cried:
That is an insult to this city. ! ask
that you reprimand the lawyer for such
language"
Justice Davis called the excited indi-
vidual to order, and the argument went
on.

Washington. Feb. 6-As a result OF the
attempted assassination Of President
Araujo. who is lying near death with a
bullet In his chest and deep and dan
eerous machete wound which laid his
head open. martial law has been pro-
claimed throughout the Republic OF Sal
vador
Details OF the assault on Senior ArauJo
we're received to-day by the Department
OF State from the American Minister.
William Heimke. The dispatch SAYS that
order prevails and that the attempted as
sasslnation has no particular political sig
n!tcance other than to remove President
Araujo. Immediately on the receipt Of
the message from Minister Heimke. the
President and the Secretary OF State sent
telegrams to the wounded President. The
message from President Taft was as fol-
lows:
81 am shocked to learn Of the bastard
" attempt on your excellency's life and
hasten to express the hope OF this gov
eminent and my personal earnest wish
for your speedy recovery"
Five bandits made the attack on Presi-
dent Araujo while he was attending a
serenade at the Montague Bolivar. Five
shots were fired. only one taking effect.
and one Of the would-be assassins struck
the President from behind with the ma
cnete. The bullet wound is not consid-
cred dangerous, but II is feared that the
machete wound may prove fatal.

LLOYD GEORGE UNBENDS
House of Commons Appreciates
Him in Role of Humorist.
by Cable TO The Tribune


London, Feb. 7.-There was a de-
hghtful little comedy In the House OF
commons yesterday. The Prime Min
lister was absent. and as the notice
paper contained several questions put
10 MT. Asquith about the land reform
programme, 1t fell to Mr. Lloyd George
10 answer them. At one point where
persistent questioner desired &c
know if the Prime Minister approved
OF a statement by the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, the genial Lloyd George re-
piled:
From what I know OF the Chan
cellor OF the Exchequer, I think re
would be perfectly incapable of making
any statement Of which the Prime Min
lister disapproves."
There was a general litter in all parts
Of the House, and the Chancellor of
the EXchequer himself Joined in .he
merriment. The diversion, Of course,
rendered any serious attempt 10 follow
up that line of cross-examination per-
fectly futile. However. It was still
thought that a chance shot at the
promised land reform of the Chancellor
might get home, but Mr.. Lloyd George
was quite ready. Advancing to the
table and speaking quite gravely. lie
said: Speaking on behalf of my Right
Honorable friend, I don't think TIE
Chancellor of the Exchequer promised
any land scheme"

Government and Marconi %.
tBy Gable 70 The Tribune.


London, Feb. seldom has any wit

son before the Marconi committee.
He finished his long ordeal yesterday.
1t was the seventh day Of his appear
ance as a witness, and Withdrawals CT
statements previously made by him
continued 10 the very end Of his evil
dence. The net result of the testimony
Of this first OF the witnesses who at
tackled the government and the Mar
conf Company in various periodicals,
has been that so far not particle OF
evidence has been brought forward TO
justify the attacks.
Indeed, Mr. Lawson admitted yester-
day that not only had he no evidence
in his possession, but that he had not
even made inquiry as TO whether there
was any in existence.
