Not a "sinele Tax" Measure.

The Missouri Farmer, published at
Columbia, has the following to say
about the land bank amendment:
Special interests and demagogic
politicians who have not been able to
find any good argument against the
proposed land bank scheme are re-
sorting to the old political methods
Of the tricksters and are trying to
confuse the minds of the voters by
crying out, Beware Of the land bank
as the first step to the single tax"
THE false statement is made that
the Gardner Land Bank exempts all
farm mortgages from taxation and is
therefore a single tax measure. In
reply, let us say, the only exemption
under this act is the assets Of the
land bank, which includes the deben-
ture bonds issued to the land bank.
The constitutional amendment, which
is to be voted on next November, is
to make no provision whatever for
the exemption of any farm mortgages
as every one knows who has read the
amendment"
