the mining circles around the south
ern part of the state, and one OF the
original locators of G~oldfeld, had
an accident with a within horse at

FRENCH ARTILLERY
SERVICE IMPROVED

DUNKIRK, Sept. II. - The re-
markable development in technique
and training of the French artillery
service is indicated by the fact that
all British artillery recruits newly
arrived in France are ent first of
all for a weeks training with French
batteries.
A British general, writing to a
French newspaper, describes the
methods of training adopted by the
British staff. Each fresh British
infantry brigade" he says Joins a
British division for a period of ten
days to familiarize itself with trench
work, but our artillery is turned
over to the French gunners for its
preliminary instruction. The French
artillerymen are as charming as pos
sible. The French officers neglect
nothing in order to make the work
as agreeable and instructive as pos
sible to our men of all ranks. This
is how We spent yesterday:
''One of our guns was carefully
drawn to the position at present oc-
cupied by a French gun, in the GEN.
ter of a French battery. Our men
worked their best to do things
smoothly and well under the eyes OF
the French gunners. After having
placed the British gun in the right
spot, our officer obtained from the
French observation post the exact
location of a machine gun emploce-
ment situated at a range of about
1900 yards. The French knew this
emplacement and were able to help
us to time our fuses with great ac-
curacy. Indeed, they showed them
selves masters in the art of making
our men believe that they were do
ing things themselves. Then we
fired our gun, and at the second shot
to our great joy the German en-
placement was destroyed. The
French gunners congratulated us
heartily.
after our practice was over, tea
was served on a white cloth in a
refuge down below in the depths of
the earth, secure against %shrapnel.
To-day the same position will be
occupied by three French guns and
one English gun; tomorrow by two
French guns and two English guns:
next by three English and n
French. All this time the battery
will be commanded by a French bat
terry commander, who hitherto has
never seen British gunners. Only
when the battery consists of four
English guns will a British officer
take command of it. Until then he
will remain as long as necessary re-
ceiving with his British gunners in
dications and instructions with re-
gard to the country drawn from the
experience of the French gunners,
who have held the position since No
vember, 1914. Only one man can
command a battery of four guns, and
that is always the man who has been
longest on the spot, without respect
to nationality or seniority.
Il need not tell you that the
French are most agreeable comrades,
and our men will be genuinely sor-
ry when they leave us. In the mean
time nothing could be better than the
instruction given to our gunners,
who are still inexperienced. Twelve
of my sixteen batteries are now sub
ject to the conditions I have de-
%scribed."

MEAT PRICES SOAR;
PEOPLE ARE IN PANIC

CHRISTIhNIA, Norway, Sept. 10.
is spreadiGg over both Norway AMI
Sw eden, as a result of the alarming
scarcity of provisions and the ne
precedented prices which are de-
manded for the simplest kind OF
food. Norway is now on the point
hibiting the export of all provisions
of which there is at present a short
age, in order that prices may be
brought down within reach of the
poorer classes.
The advance in prices in Norway
is approximately the same as IL
Sweden, but in some cases 1t has
been even more marked. Herring
which is one of the main articles OF
diet among the peasant population,
have risen from two cents to foul
and five cents a piece. and the pres
ent prices of oatmeal is $50 per cent
higher than it was before the war.
The meat shortage was temper
arily relieved some time ago, as it
was in Sweden, by the slaughter nj
a large number of cattle, which
there was not enough grain to feed,
put prices have now advanced again
reaching the highest level eve-
known in Norway. 1t is a curious
paradox that as a nation Norways
economic and financial condition is
i,etter than before the war. Nor
ways tremendous exports, at the
same time that they have drainei
the country of it's necessary provis-
ions for home consumption and
carried masses of the people to the
verge of starvation, have brought a
tremendous amount of money into
the country, enabled the county 10
pay for all it's imports, and left a
large surplus to be used for indus
trial purposes and public loans.
The Bank of Norway, the govern
ment's bank, had a year 6 $2O,-
OOO, 900 of gold in it's vaults. Today
it has $40, 1000 900. A year ago II
had issued paper money to the ex-
tent of $500 900 beyond its de-
posts, while today with the same
amount of paper currency in clreI-
latiCn, it has a reserve of $1,000
900.
Deposits in private banks are at
present 100000 600 greater than a
year ago on the same date. These
banks had to their credit in foreign
banks $500, 900 last year. This year
they have $4,000, 900. The way
has thus brought Norway a floo1-
tide of prosperity and if government
action is taken to reduce present
prices and provide the poorer with
food, Norway will have little to
lose and a great deal to gain from
a long war.
Norway's friendship for England
and the fact that she has had less
to complain of in the restriction of
imports than Sweden, have made
her trade question a much less seri-
Gus one than in her sister country.
Her chief grievance against England
remains the English censorship IT
her mails and cablegrams to Amer
lea and other neutral countries. Nor
way is still trying to devise a more
direct and speedier communication
with America.

THE SINGLE TAX IDEAL

The single tax theory sets up an
ideal standard Of ultimate perfection.
practically impossible of application to
existing conditions, but sure to gain
ground slowly as reform of taxation
proceeds, The wave of tax betterment
that has swept over the Country since
Henry Georges time has tended to-
ward the ideal he conceived.
From time to time, the single tax
idea appears in State Legislatures. In
both Minnesota and Wisconsin it is
now appealed to in order to remove the
check that land speculation puts upon
development. The same idea enters
indirectly into the drainage and road
legislation of both states. by assessing
part of the cost of Improvement upon
the speculative land values that will
benefit by it.
1t is all part of general public de-
termination TO make the owners of
large tracts of unimproved and unpro-
duetive land bear their just part of the
cost of development. instead of letting
it lie fallow for generations to reap
the increase of values which others
promote by sacrifice and energy
The tendency grows to shift the bur
Den Of taxation fran the industry and
energy by which society thrives. to the
idle ownership, which lies in wait to
thrive upon that energy and industry.
This shift involves lowering of the
general property tax and adjustment
of burdens to conditions. II involves
special assessments for land develop
nent upon idle tracts that viii be bene-
fitted. Here is an approximation to
the single tax ideal.
