ditional bank notes up to an amount
equal to capital and surplus of each
bank, although there is a total limit of
$500 OOO, 900 upon this form Of addition
al currency.
Character of Deposits.
Banks may deposit either CONNER
cial paper or securities with the cur
passes upon the character of collateral,
and which is also passed upon by rep
resentatives Of the United States
Treasury.
Commercial paper may be deposited
tor additional notes up to an amn.nt
equaling 80 per cent of capital and
surplus Of q bank. or the bank may
deposit securities for such additional
circulation IS it may obtain.
Banks may apply directly to the
; Treasury Department without inter
vention of the currency association if
| they have state or municipal bonds OF

George idea of taxation in which real
estate is to bear all the expense OF
government, known as single taxation.
What is single tax?
Let the Practical Library say: "Sin-
gle tax is name given by common
consent to the economic reform which
proposes the abolition of all taxes on
personal property and the raising OF
public revenues, local, state and nation
al, by single tax on land values IT.
respective of improvements, this tax
eventually to become equal to the an
nual rental value of the land"
"They contend that private owner
ship of land will eventually reduce the
majority of mankind virtually to q
condition Of slavery, and that private
ownership was wrong, and worked an
injustice, not only upon those from
whom the land was taken, but upon
those who come after"
They believe the state has perfect
right to reverse this step and retake
for the community by taxation the val
ue of the land without compensating
the present owner.
This is single taxation and Is social
ism pure and simple.
If this amendment carries it will le-
gally relieve large class of persons
from paying taxes and land will be
compelled to pay the great bulk of the
expense of government. 1t would also
destroy that incentive to labor that pri
vate ownership of property gives.
Oh, they, the moneyed class, say, II
they we're EXEMPT from paying taxes
they could loan their money at a much
less rate of interest.
Manufacturers say il they we're moi
required to pay taxes, they could sci
their products for much less.
But let me ask you, will they?
If this be their argument and theil
principle of justice, why not go to the
fountain head, the sourte of all wealth
and exempt the land, then all the pro

So 1t looks like to Democrat it

and to a Republican 1t was Repub-
lican nominee on a Judicial Ticket, as
the word "Non-Partisan" is left off
the ballot sent to the Republicans.
Now l believe, he was trying to
hood-wink some of us Democrats with
that word "Non-P Partisan" and at the

Now, which one will he be on--the
