cipal, county, state, and national rev.
enues by a single tax on land values
The author Of the work commended
that other taxes should be abolished
gradually until at length all the eX.
penses Of the government will be de-
rived from the single tax. The sim
gle tax is to be levied on the land in
proportion to its utility and without
regard to its mproVements; thus
making it Improbable to hold vacant
tracts at enormous prices for snecu-
lative purposes, and as u result all
such tracts in cities and agricultural
districts would be thrown oDen to la
Dor. Hence, lands are not to be own
ed by individuals, but they are to
be used at specified terms b. the oc-
cllpants. The theory of q single tax
has never been practically tested, but
it has been partially applied in New
Zealand and several other countries

they mean when they say, the land
would be thrown open to labor.
Not Ready to Surrender.

We all know the land has been
open to labor, for people that wanted
to build home, and we farmers of
North Dakota, who have built our
homes here are not willing to sur
render our homes to the l. w. w. or
any other labor union, even if We
have to pay a little tax on our hen
house; that is nothing compared with
what it would be under the single
tax, when all municipal, county. state
and national revenues shall be raised
by a single tax on land only. The
advocates of the single tax will tell
the farmers that they pay all the
taxes now only they pay part of
them in an indirect way. If this is
true the single tax would make it so
much worse, because the farmers
would have to pay this indirect tax
just the same and also the tax that
the different corporations ana cities
are now paying.
If the single tax advocates We're
frank enough to tell the farmers the
contents of the single tax theory,
there would not be any farmers in
favor of the single tax, with the en-
ceptOn of the socialists, and you
can't very often find them on the
farm | believe the principle of the
taxation system we have now is good,
because under this system everything
should be taxed according to val,a-
ton, and the constitution of North
| Dakota demands uniform taxation on
the same class of property. Isn't that
| fair? | am in favor of the cO-opera-
tive marketing movement and believe
we farmers would be all right if we
got the price we are entitled to for
what we sell. Just think Of the diff
ference in the price of wheat here
and in Liverpool, after one cent COM
mission and all other expenses are
paid. Many of us have read about
that in the Cooperative Herald and
also in the Leader.

Teachers and Pupils Cyclopaedia, ed
tied by Bernhart p Hoist and Ruric
Neval Roark, and is so plain it can
not be misunderstood. Henry George,
the author Of the single tax theory,
was nominated in New York in 1886
by the United Labor party, but was
defeated on election day. He is the
advocate Of the labor unions, not the
farmers. Just think of it; put all the
tax burden on the farmers, or the
land as they term it, and the social
lists are trying to accomplish this
with the help of the farmers Non
partisan league. The Non-partisan
Leader made great mistake when
they put the single tax on their pro-
gram, because we farmers believe we
carry our share Of the tax burden
now. The single tax idea is to put a
tax burden so heavy on the land we
can't pay it. consequently the govern.
ment takes the land. That is what

that they would not believe the facts
which might be given them in the

81 Joined the Non-partisan league
with the understanding that the
league should make out short pro
gram which we farmers, of all polit-
ical parties, could and would agree
to work for. 1t is not necessary to
upset everything; that is not what
we farmers demand. 1t appears now
that the socialists believe they can
control and dictate the league to suit
themselves. At the precinct meeting
we elected delegates to the county
convention with the understanding
| they should endorse candidates for
the legislature, and also elect dele
gates to the state convention. AT

the dictators, and told the delegates
not to elect delegates to the state

more this year; Grand Forks has thir-
teen and on-half miles OF paved
streets, costing from 100 to $3.50 per
square yard; Fargo has fifteen miles
