TRYING TO KILL SEAMEN'S LAW.

shield themselves against complying with the seamens

these two concerns out of business when matter
OF fact the Pacific Mail is simply separating itself from
the Southern Pacific Railway Company in order that it
may carry commerce through the Panama canal Two
years ago congress passed law forbidding railroad

THE QUESTION OF TAXING LAND VALUES.

Interest In the single theory in Duluth and ST.
per1or and throughout the nation is rising
higher plane. The necessity Of dealing more intel
gently with the system Of taxation the United States
and the separate states is becoming evident
To continue in tho archaic ru of filming improv-
ing property even to the extent Of building small
home for his family, is the height Of folly and GER
tainly Injustice to tho who is instrumental in
increasing the value OF vacant land
1t is generally accepted among economists that the
only real unearued increment" is the values realized
from land held by spectators and landlords is
versally conceded that the land is the basic starting
point for all great fortunes.
Looking at the surface of the question 1t would
that the greater evils of society arise from other
forms of property than land, but when the question
thoroughly analysed it is found that all these other
property holdings based the ownership land
from which all most Of the Of nation
derived.
To levy taxes upon improved property in greater
degree than upon unimproved land is necessarily q
punishment to those who do the improving while the
land Spectator is rewarded by the increased values
his property for his slothfuness.
Land monopoly at the bottom of the greater part
Of the socalled trust problem. Without the land
holdings Of the Standard Oil company, many acres of
which have not been touched but being held from
those who would tap these oil fields num-

consequently kept from others seeking, opportun
es WITHOUT the hold1nes OF coal FIELDS oy the coal
trust, there would be foundation for the nhuman
corporations that have at opportunity made slaves

The land Spectator, while respected member Of
present day society is absolutely worthless to COM
munty and has never been known to add anything to
the prosperity of city, state nation He is leech
society," reaping where others have sown fching
profits rent from honest toll of useful ana
turning nothing ~:c
The single tax proposes to the fines placed
and place the greater burden Of

1t has been we'll said that the single tax will re-
move taxes upon exchange, and will tax land values
only It will the taxes upon thrift place the
burden of taxation land speculation. Every

Germany's Reply.

Subterfuge and evasion accentuated in
every line OF the German reply to the protest of
the United States against the destruction of the
Lusitania and the killing of us Americans, men
women and children. 1t makes pretense of
meeting the issues raised and frankly set forth
by this government. 1t bubbles and suggests shall
low excuses for Germanys methods of naval war
fare. 1t seeks to place this government the
burden of proof that the Lusitania a mer
chairman and not ship OF and fair target
for any projecte. 1t contends that the Falaba
not torpedoed until she was in flight, and that
her passengers were given time to take to the
boats. 1t calls the attacks on the Gushing and the
