over the 6arLa and the IunQ was col
lected and used for the public bene-
fit, there would be no need of gov
ernments leVying taxes upon the
wealth that the people create by their
individual exertions. If this fund was
taken for public purposes and ex-
pended for the benefit of all the peo-
pie, there would be no need of any
other fund and any attempt by gov
eminent to get revenue in other ways
would result in the overthrow of the
government which would attempt it.
If this public fund which now goes
into private Golfers was taken and
used for public purposes the right of
all the people to be upon the earth
would be acknowledged and no man
would have to hunt a master to hire
him or to bey for aims.
If this fund went to the right place
there would be no poverty anywhere
on the earth and panics and hard
times would vanish from civilization.
AS long as wealth and power shall
claim the ownership of the earth up
on which men must live poverty and
want will exist and men will war for
the extension of territory, for the
ownership of the earth necessarily
involves the ownership of men who
must live upon it.
The remedy for poverty and want,
for panics and hard times, and the
remedy which will abolish war from
the face of the earth is the adoption
by the nations of the single tax pro-
posed by Henry George in Progress
and Poverty.
Until the people of the earth learn

at it now, it's time for us to know the

Perhaps at the end it will be found
that, like charity, it begins at home.
First, the lack of understanding of
the parents. Then the wrong bring

old cock crows, the young one learns.
Guess it's fully time to find out why

married and single, are so eager to

course, with women as with men,
we have them good and not so good,

money to keep body and soul to-

the railroads as whole. Mr.. Shriv-
er's figures covered the period to
June 80, 1914.
"A striking feature of the 1914 re-
turns, said Mr.. Shriver, is the COM
plete disappearance of surplus OF
margin.
The figures presented showed that
the railroads in this territory paid in
1914 average dividends of 4.58 per
cent, but that they fell short by
SIS, 100000 of earning that dividend
itself the lowest rate of dividend
paid In ten years. The year 1914
was the first year In fifteen years in
which these railroads earned no sur
plus over the dividends paid.
For the three systems generally
considered prosperous. viz, the
Pennsylvania, the New York Central
end the Baltimore and Ohio. the sur
plus or margin after an average diyi-
.dend Of $50 per cent. was only
600, and had averaged $38,733, 900
In the previous case special atten-
tion was calld to the fact that where
as all the roads concerned in this pro-
ceeding had In the three years ended
June 80, 1913. invested $3.50, OO0,-
900 in their properties, their net
operating income in 1913 was $16,-
800, 900 less than for 1910. before
the $3.50. 900 900 had ben spent.
Mr.. Shriver presented figures show
ing that during the last year these
same roads had invested $249. OO0.-
900 additional in their properties. and
yet their net earnings were $40, s. 0,-
600 less than for 1913. In other
