new TEST OF
The SINGLE TAX
[ohio State Journal. ]

A city in New South Wales, Sgd
ney, having 100000 inhabitants, has
adopted the so-called single tax and
henceforth will raise its public rev.
enues by taxing land values alone,
exempting all buildings and other I'M
proVements and in fact, all personal
property of every kind.
The theory of the site tax is that
land values are not created by the
owner Of the land but by the COM
munity itself. A man may buy vac
ant lot for $500, the drift of popula-
tion may be toward il and through
no effort of the owner, it soon may
be worth $4,000. The single takers
think that this community value, as
they call it, is the one proper subject
for taxation. Their plan would be
to relieve the fruits of industry from
taxation, thus encouraging enter
prise. 1t would end the evil of hold
ing potentially useful land for spec
ulatiye purposes. There has been
great deal of Misrepresentation Of
the single tax idea and we frequently
receive letters from farmers who
seem to think that they would pay
the bulk of all the taxes under this
scheme. Probably they would really
pay less than now, for under this
system there would be no levy on
their houses, their barns, their live
stock or their implements, while the
tax would be laid not on lands at so
much per acre but on land values,
leaving the city business sites to bear
the brunt of it.
Sometimes we think that the day
of the single tax is nearer than is
generally realized. The propaganda
is gaining adherents all the time and
present methods of taxation are un-
just and unsatisfactory. The enthus-
iastic advocates of The proposed sys
TEN believe with the fervor of all re-
formers that its adoption would
make an immediate end of all in
equalities in taxation and that we
should live happily ever afterward.
We cannot see this, for human ma
ture would remain about the same
and we suppose it would be possible
TO cheat little in determining land
values.

to settle on lands south of this city, some
5000 acres of then dense woodland. The
white citizens of this section of the state,
organized n a body to keep the negroes
from settling. Headed zy the late Judge
Benjamn Linzee, Silas Young and Samuel
Grunden, they drove the negroes back to
the southeast where .ney settled in and
around Dayton, Troy Piqua, Sidney and
Xenia.
The executor later sold the lands in this
county, and the suit brought by the des-
cendants of the slaves IN 1904 set up fraud
on the part of the executor and land buy
crS i'm this deal.
The case was first tried in the Common
Pleas court here by Judge f., S. Matthias,
now on the Ohio Supreme Court bench,
on demurrer to the petition, which was
sustained. Plaintiffs then tried the case
on error to the Circuit Court. Judge An
read wrote the opinion ct this body, which
was conquered in by Judge Silas Murin.
The late Judge Micnaer dissented to the
opinion of his colleagues holding that pc
onthe case was tried before Common
Pleas Judge Kammeron. The testimony
and argument lasted for more than a
month The case was again decided i'm
to the Court of Appeals with the result
as above stated Judges Phil M. Crow,
w. II. Kider and j. b. Robinson, all con-
curing in the opinion.
AS the case does not involve any con
stitutional question or the construction of
any statute in which the questions arising
not subject to review and trial before the
State Supreme CourS, ana the decision
of the Court of Appeals will therefore be
final This win surely be good news to
the many interested land owners, who
have been fighting for the past ten years
TO maintain their finely improved farms,
purchased in an unimproved condition
years ago
The attorneys for the plaintiffs in the
action were j. d. Johnson, of this city;

were represented by Attorneys John G.

MUCH IN EVIDENCE WITH BAT IN
GAME AT ST. MARYS WHICH
OOLDWATER WINS

In the best played game of the season
St Marys lost out to the Celina- Cold
water All-Stars by a 2 to 1 score. While
St. MaryS 1st basemau, Dardio, failed to
show up and her crack catcher, Nisely
is still unable to play on account of a
broken little finger, it was good game
and the fans were pleased. Come again,
All-Stars, you play the right kind of ball
ST. Marys first baseman was shifted to
second base and Myers, a Celina man.
played first. 1t looked like Celina would
score in the first inning, when Colehase
walked the first man up and hit the sec
ond but no scores were made by either
that inning. Both sides were easily re-
ag;uin started something when McComb
made a long hit, bat after two other men
were down he was thrown out while try
ing to score.
From that time till the last of the fifth
both sides played good ball and neither
seemed TO have the advantage Then
Weiser got to second on a field hit and
to third on an error. He scor-
ed wnen the ball was thrown to first to
get the batter, this being the only score
of the game for st. Marys. After this
there was nothing doing" till the last
of the eighth when McComb again start
ed things with a drive past End base and
long drive to left field gave 'Celina two
runs. II looked like a rally for st. Marys
in the last of the ninth, but with three
men on bases, Sunderland batted for Ny
ers and the game was lost. 1t was an
ideal day for baseball and the large crowd
was well pleased.--St, Marys Leader.

GREAT DAY
For Congregation of The United
Bretheren Churches at Monteuma
Coldwater and Zion.
[By Rev J. P. Hight Pastor ]

hA NV D. 4 AAAE4A 4 AnAbAH
Sunday, June 20, was a red letter
day for MonteZuma, Oldtown and
Zion. The morning worship after the
review of the quarters lessons at
Oldtown was on the theme 'Bap-
tism." In the afternoon representa-
tiyes from every appointment gath
cred at Riley's landing and the or
dinance of baptism administered to
eleven persons. The hour was ideal,
the sun shown in wonderful splen-
dor, the lake was calnG and the aud
ience as well as tho applicants was
bathed in halo of reverence and the
presence of the Holy Spirit made 1t
a most delightful service.
II was Children's day at Monte
yuma and Zion which always means
the richest of good things.
The pastor was with Montezuma in
spirit and can say il was truly a
splendid day for that place il il meas
ured up to their standard of services.
At Zion, long before the time for the
services to begin, the house was filled
and when the children began their
services, there were many in the aud
ience standing.
The speaking and singing both
showed care and work on the part
Of the trainers and great talent in
the children and young people. The
entire services were replete with
ideal lessons of truth and the great
audience was so appreciative every
one was at their best. Special men
ton must be made of the primary
class and the little girls who delight
ed all with their singing. When ii
comes to Children's Day service, Zion
stands in front rank with talent and
workers.
