But it is not land spectators or
ganization. These men own lands for
the single purpose of making them
grow grain. They have as producers
no interest in the selling value of
lands. They would make just as much
money as they now do if their lands

It would like to see every bit of

The selling price for their farms
would not go kiting into the hundreds

that in two years land values in the
corporation limits have Ieaped from
$45,132,005 to the enormous total of
$12o, 601 ,559, an increase of almost
200 per cent. In the past year an in
crease of $18, $40, 643 is directly due
to no other cause than the natural
increase in land values. Building de-
Velopment has been no less phenom-
email than the growth of land values,
having grown approximately 40 per
cent in a single year"
When building improvements grow
at the rate of only 40 per cent year
and land values at the rate of 200
per cent in two years, there is some
thing rotten in Calgary. So long as
it pays a hundred per cent profit a
year to hold vacant lots, there is no
single tax in Calgary. Exemption of
improvements cannot greatly stimu-
late building under such conditions.
Calgary and Edmonton both, be-
ieve, pay for their permanent city
improvements cut of city loans. If
they had single tax, these would be
paid from ground rents, and building
would grow at the rate of 200 per
cent in two years and land values
would not advance. This would end
the yacant-lot industry.

Expects Word Today.

The high school football team will
probably play a game Saturday, but
who their opponents will be is not
known. The chances are that the
team will be either Gary or Cassopo-
lis. Coach Metzler had offered this
date to several teams but they de-

two schools were communicated with

is highly probable that one of them

ten TO by Metzler but an answer is
not expected before the first mail on
Friday morning. If arrangements
can possibly be made the steel city

of Miss Johanna Cook of st. Paul,

it is no great wonder that she did win,

THE PEACE LOBBY.

Thousands of dollars spent and mil
lions of pamphlets distributed is a
pretty fair showing for a lobby. This
lobby is the Carnegie Peace Lobby.
This lobby is using one of the most
beautiful words in our language and
polluting its use to destroy our ma
tional integrity and stunt our com.
merce. Throws the transportation OF
our great national commerce to for.
eign (British) ships; furnish men
like Ambassador Page with the sem.
blance Of q reason for stating that
Englishmen are our leaders. That the
Monroe Doctrine may be treated as q
myth and that Panama was built to
please the English. The Senate lobby
investigation committee brought out
the following facts:
Activities of Andrew Carnegie's en-.
dowment for international peace in
favor of repeal Of the Panama tolls
exemption were brought out before
the senate lobby committee today in
the testimony of James Brown Scott,
secretary of the foundation. It was
developed that the endowment ex.
pended Thousands Of dollars In q cam
paign of education. Scott testified
that more than million copies of a
pamphlet urging repeal under date of
March Is. 1913, were distributed. The
endowment also distributed, Mr.. Scott
testified, 715,000 copies of Senator
Roots speech urging the repeal.
Canal Literature Circulated.
Senator Walsh brought out that
there was an allotment of $4,000 for
circulation of Panama canal literature
and that the 715,00O copies of Sen.
ator Roots speech had been sent out
by the endowment under the senator's
frank. Mr.. Scott said the order of
the executive committee directing this
action had been taken in Senator
Roots absence.
Every political shyster in the land
proclaimed himself against the lobby
maintained by the trust and buckled
on his armor to slay the political
dragon. How we'll Carnegie and his
insidious peace lobby has lulled them
all to sleep the above facts only too
plainly tell. Exercising the Thanking
privilege to distribute free of charge
the literature desired is plainly a
misuse and abuse of the privilege and
strikes at the very root of our pro.
lection against lobbyists.

Roman Catholic church is peculiarly

to America is from disorganizing

chief lessons Americans need to learn
is reverence for constituted authority
and willing obedience to law. This
lesson the Roman Catholic church is
