The Professional Spectator.

The public Spectator, says an ex-
change, is the worst enemy Of society.
He can sit in his Office and hold land
out OF use until other peoples industry
gives it value that he does not earn.
This mans capital tied up in land means
nothing to the public, but the RE in
value OF the land means much TO the
speculator. This rise comes from the la
Dor of men owning and improving adj
Joining land. From this truth is grow
ing the idea that land ownership is a
public trust, and that speculation as lar
as possible should be elimated. How to
eliminate is the problem. The single
takers claim they have the remedy. In
Canada a difierential tax is imposed,
and the government appropriates the
larger share of rising values from LAND
held for speculation. This is what has
made wild land in Canada cheap. Only
improved land is advancing much III tina
country. This may not remain true al
ter the country settles more, but it il
true today. No one objects to the MAJ
who buys land, adds to its value anS
then sells at good profit. But the pro
fessional speculator is the man who is
public robber and lives off the labor @
Others.

The state law compelling corporations
to become responsible for the payment OF
poll tax by their employees has brought
the Phoenix Construction company,
which is building large power plant on
the Bear river, into serious difficulty.
On the ompany's payroll are 1923 men,
who have been on the job long enough
to be subject to the payment OF poll taxes
in this county. The company was asked
to collect this tax from each OF its en-
ployees, as provided by law, but refused,
explaining that if they attempted to hold
the tax out Of their mems wages, "a
strike would surely follow and the work
be tied up. The board OF county com
missoners, not being interested in the
companys affairs further than to insist
that the money due this county be paid,
today instructed County Attorney. G.
Douglas Smith to begin suit against the
company to collect the poll taxes. Four
law provides that failure on the part of
a company to pay the tax makes it liable
to double the amount. Attorney Smith
announces his intention of getting the
coin, or finding out the reason why.
The final outcome of this case will be
watched with interest by other large cor
porations which have experienced more
or less trouble along this same line.

UNCLE SAM, LuMsERmAN.

Among the other varied activities
Uncle Sam finds It to his advantage
to engage in the lumber business. His
success in the fiscal year ended June
80 last, surpassed all previous rec
ords. Receipts from the national for
ests were nearly 81. 10000, Of which
about one-half was for timber. Con-
tracts negotiated for the sale Of tim
Der. some to be cut In future years, to-
tailed $4.00O,00Q The payment on
these contracts, however, will be de-
ferred In most instances until the tim
Der is cut and sold by operators. The
governments receipts are thus infiu-
enced by the state Of the market, for
the sale OF the timber depends on de-
mand. However, since 1906, when
the forest service was placed in full
charge of the national forests, the
amount Of timber cut has shown a
steady advance. The gain in receipts
from timber was checked only in 1900.
The loss. however, was more than
made up in 1910. Government tim

Vate sources Of supply diminish. 1t

THINKS IMMIGRATION is IN AIR
Writer'S Explanation OF Vital Differ
once Between the londoner
n the New Yorker.

"The difference between New
York and London" a man once said
to me. "is this: In New York, IL you
have a 9 idea, you can get it car
ried out at once; In LONDON, II you
have a e idea, you are up against
q brick wall"
1 believe this to be true, writes
Maurice Barring in the Metropolitan.
People in New York, and in America
In general, are not afraid Of new
ideas, nor, indeed, OF anything new.
They are not afraid Of the future. In
England, If a IA finds, for instance,
that his profession is uncongenial to
him, however certain he may be Of
the impossibility of his making a sue.
cess Of 1t, he will none the less very
rarely. give 1t up, and try his hand
at something else. The future alarms
him. In America a man will think
nothing Of throwing up his profession
twenty times running, until he finds
something which does suit him.
/ think the cause Of this particular
difference lies In the climate Of Amer
lea, and especially lies in the climate
OF New York. Just as the climate Of
some places fills the whole system
with an invincible desire to do moth
ing, with an insuperagle languor and
sloth, In the same way the climate
of New York fills the body and mind
with the desire to be up and about.
1t Is the nimble air which produces
the nimble wits; the stimulating at
mosphere which creates, in the deni-
zen Of New York, the love Of hustle,
hurry competition and work. I am
not saying this is either a good thing
or a bad thing-I am merely noting
and recording what struck me as be-
ing the main differences between New
York and London.

Heretofore the farmer had to con-
tend with droughts, floods, g~rasshop-
pers, weevil, pests, bugs, and a host
OF other antagonists, but there has
a new one appeared, and that Is the
of labor. If he escapes all the
other enemies, he Is done for IL he en-
counters the last. What is the use
of big crops If there is no help for
them? The next thing the farmers
will be doing will be turning their
grass fields In pasture and raising
cattle. That requires little labor. Be-
sides, 1t is an easy and quiet life to
grow grass and fatten steers, say the
Ohio State Journal. Some Of the hap
piest mortals. r thus engaged. Be-
sides, 1t Is a great business. In a few
years a man will make a whole years
living selling four or five steers, and
II he sells Is or 20, he will ride In
all kinds of automobiles. There will
still be another way out of the diff
Guilty. Let the farmer hold a picnic,
with chicken legs and g%ooseberry pie
attached, and invite his city friends,
and then, while the table Is being
spread, all turn in and stack the hay
and hoe the corn. Everybody will &C.
cept an invitation and it will be as
much fun as catching a bass.

PREPARE MEAT FOR SHIPMENT
South American FrigorIfcos VIII Soon
Be Turning Out an Immense
Supply of Food.

A frigoriico is a freezing plant In
South America. 1t is a plant that
freezes fat cattle or sheep or lambs
and sends them in refrigerated ships
northward to Europe. Perhaps later
they will send them to. the United
States.
On the Island Of TERRA del Fuego,
far south to the jumping on place,
sheep get very fat on the good grass.
Incredible as 1t may SEEM, q short
time ago fine fat sheep were boiled
down for their tallow. Now q mod
ern frigorifico Is prepared to kill them
and send them north Of the equator.
There Is another Of these newly erect
ed frigorificos at Rio Gallegos, an.
other a little way up the coast at San
Julian and other new ones are at
Bahia Blanca.
These frigorificos make possible the
directing of a great stream Of good
lamb and mature mutton northward,
and we here may expect to see it
come, o. or later. Cattle are not
killed at these southern frigorifcos,
but farther north, near Buenos Aires
and in Uruguay are great establish
ments that kill chiefly cattle. To faciIi-
tate the getting of sheep to the
frigorificos the government is build
ing the Patagonia state railways, lead

ownershrp Of Land Aeer.e,on.


The title Of an owner Of land to any
accretions to the land was the Ques-
ton presented to the supreme court
OF appeals Of Virginia in Eggborn vs..
Smith, in which interesting decisions
on the point involved are cited. In the
Virginia cas- the plaintiffs husband
for a consideration permitted q rail-
road company to deposit rock and
earth on land owned by him during
double-tracking work, under contract
that all such material not removed be-
fore the work was completed should
remain permanently. The owner oxe-
cuted a deed OF trust Of the land with
out serving the material so deposited,
but on the day the property was sold
under foreclosure OF the trust deed
attempted to convey the material
as personally to the complainant. The
court found that the complainant had
made no claim to the property until
five years after Its deposit, when It
was overgrown with vegetation, and
held that "the material was realty and
not personal property, and passed to
the purchaser on foreclosure OF the
trust deed"

son with a score Of the "Oreates" Of

Home, Sweet Home"-the song OF a

passionate protest But It was the
music rather than the words that
reused his indignation. You will find
the passage In Across the Plains:
I have no idea whether unsteady this
air Is to be considered good or bad;
but 1T belongs to that class of art
which may best be described as q bru-
tai assault upon the feelings. Pathos
must be relieved by dignity Of treat
