THE SINGLE TAX QUESTION

OF all the propositions that are to be voted on
by the voters of Denver next Tuesday, the single
tax question has attracted the most attention.
More OF fight has been put up by those for and
against 1t than any other proposition. Undoubted-
iy 1t is question of moment for the residents of
Denver There is and has been quite little dis
satisfaction the whole situation, and rate
payers seem to be looking for a way out. The
single tax people have out catchy idea, at
first glance But | have arrived at the conclusion
after consideration OF all sides OF the matter that
this not the time to vote it in.
we all admit that the general business and in
dustrial situation in Denver does not warrant any
radical change that might make matters worse
than they | don't believe the proposition
presented by the single tax followers is the real
thing. | don't where it better the cond-
ton OF those who work with their hands for a
living, nor bring prosperity. As it stands now, 1t
seems to me that the amendment would leave a
large loop hole for the big interests to escape pay
nent OF large share OF taxes franchises, build
inSs, etc. 1t is well-known fact that very few
OF the corporations own land in Denver to amount
to anything and il they have nothing else to tax,
can't see but what they could crawl out practic-
ally entirely from taxation. We don't want that
IN Denver, anything that Would give them the
least little chance. The can be said OF many
OF our reputed rich people who homes. The
majority OF our tax payers small home owners
and they have money to hire lawers to fight tax
levies, or enough influence to rebate. and
hence the entire burden might fall upon them. The
Lord knows most OF us standing about all we
carry OF such expense at the present time and
there is no use taking chance something that
may make the load heavier than it is.
| have no fault TO find with the advocates of
the measure. but believe they have made a mistake
i'll urging it at this time ] don't believe that a
majority OF the old time single TAKERS are IN
hearty accord full sympathy with the present
campaign. There is something wrong with our
system, it goes without saving. and law Is
needed to set it right. but convinced that the
proposed amendment is not the panacea that will
cure our ills and make well. When patient
real sick Is not the Droper time to try out un-
known and untried remedies That i where dear
old Denver stands today. ct us endeavor TO do
something that will give US change that is not
likely to prove worse than what we have.
As a tax payer. am going to vote against the
proposed so-called single tax measure and believe
that the trades unionists and small home owners
and citizens should do likewise The Trades As
sembly wisely refused to endorse the idea. and
there is no doubt but the amendment will be de
csively defeated on Tuesday. it should and de

THE ELECTION AND ISSUES

he election is scheduled to como off next
Tuesday and the candidates all and hust-
ling. ! don't know there is much add to
what J have said regarding those seeking Office
Newspapers have made their selections and the
various clubs, unions. parties, organizations and
what not made endorsements. Opinion is divid-
ed as TO who will be the lucky ones.
Personally, am for Otto Thum for commits
sioner OF property because he is trades unionists
and has made good in his position and deserves re
election. Every union and woman should go
the limit for him. regardless OF personal likes and
dislikes. | believe he has line chance to win
il his kind OF people do their duty by him. Ger
tain it is other candidate is tied to labor the
way Otto 1hum is.
OF the other candidates Tor that place ! like
hammers and Tom Hunter. | really believe the
fight is between 1hum. Greenlee hammers. Hun
ter and Macy. Greenec and Macy have the sup
port OF many Republicans and patriotic organiza-
tons, which is going to cut quite a figure. Hun
ter hammers and Griffith will divide the support
OF the Democrats. There liable to be some
surprises i'll this Mollison. Pummer and
Galland all good men and will have a consid-
cradle following.
For the Welfare Job, Ritter Sharpley and Mar
tin look like the leaders. Ritter has been cndors-
ed by the Republicans and many other organiza-
tions, political religious and otherwise. DR.. Sharp
ley has many endorsements also aside from the
Democrats. look for the race to be between Rit-
ter and Sharpley. Personally ] shall vote for
ShaJpley, first choice. He supported labor
measures in the state senate My second choice
will go Jesse Vetter, the Socialist candidate as
he is a trades unionist and member OF the Machn-
lists Elder, Iurlbut. McGillivray, Stackhouse.
Hayes good men also
For the election commissionership, out Of the
host of candidates, am going to vote for Charley
Francis for one II works with his hands for a
living. Frank llobler, the Socialist candidate, will
also get a vote He is a union cigar maker Fur
guson Hagernan. McCann Mullen. Wright and
Teller are also racing, and it looks like Teller had
the pole.
The amendments are OF considerable moment
to the voters, and will take them up they ap-
pear on the official ballot.
No. I is the one relating to liquor. While
doubt il much will be accomplished in the way Of
keeping Denver wet by its adoption, it should
receive the vote of every free thinking person and
trades unionist. BY its adoption the ground can
be repaired for fight for home rule, and it may
serve to keep many members OF organized labor at
work in Denver.
No relates to taking the control OF elections
out of the hands of the Commissioner of Safety and
Citv Auditor. I don't like the idea of naming Of
ficials in charter changes. But as it has been done

Spirit of Peace.

President Woodrow Wilson delivered
an address in Philadelphia Monday night
which insures that this nation will not,
be drawn into the vortex of war. II was
a declaration breathing the spirit OF
peace that makes Americans proud of
the present incumbent of the White
House at Washington. Following are
some of the important statements made
in speaking TO $1,000 people, 1000 OF
whom Were recently naturalized as cit
izens:
1t was but an historical accident. no
doubt. that this great country was called
The United States and yet / am very
thankful that it has the word United
in its title: and the man who seeks to
divide, man from man, group from group,
interest from interest, in the United
States is striking at its very heart.
1t is Il very interesting circumstance
TO me in thinking OF those of you who
have Just sworn allegiance to this gov
ernment that YOU We're drawn across the
ocean by some beckoning finger OF hope,
by some belief, by some vision of new
kind OF justice, by some expectation OF a
better kind of life. No doubt you have
been disappointed in some of us. some
OF us are very disappointing.
No doubt you have found that JUS
tice in the United States goes only with
a pure heart and u right purpose as it
does everywhere else. No doubt what
YOU found here did not seem touched for
you, after all, with the complete beauty
OF the ideal which you had coneeived be
forehand.
But remember this, if you had grown
at all poor in the ideal, you brought
:. 4 H.. not
90 out to seek the thing that is not in
him. A man does not hope for the
things he does not believe in, and if
some OF us have forgotten what America
believes in, you, at any rate, imported in
your own hearts Il renewal Of the be-
lief.
That is the reason that l, for one,
make YOU welcome. Ii have in any de-
gree forgotten what America is intended
for. ] will thank God if you will re-
mind me. | was born in America. You
dreamed dreams of what America was TO
be. and hope you brought the dreams
with YOU No man that does not see
visions will ever realize any high hope
or undertake any high enterprises.
"The example of America must be a
special example. The example of Amer
lea must be the example not merely OF
peace because it will not fight, but OF
peace because peace is the healing and
elevating influence OF the WORLD and
strife is not There is such a thing
as a man being too proud to fight. There
is such a thing as nation being so
right that it does not need to convince
others by force that it is right.
so ii you come into this great nation
as YOU have come. voluntarily seeking
something that we have to give, all that
we have TO give Is this: We cannot eN-
empt YOU from work No man is exempt
from work anywhere i'll the world |

has to work only with his hands and not
with his head. 1t i very easy to do
