Dr. Schreiner on Single Taxation

EDITOR CENSOR: | do not want to
participate in the controversy between
our senator and assemblyman, but will
be thankful for space to take issue
with Senator Bennett on his condem-
nation of The Nordman amendment to
the constitution. This. as the sena-
tor states, was intended to pave the
way for the adoption of the single tax
in counties, where majority of the
voters favored it, 1t would in no way
disturb other communities or change
the proportion of tax burden between
the counties of the state. This is es-
pecially provided for in the amend
ment. In other words, ii would only
give counties local self-government in
taxation. II is easy to see how IL
would benefit some parts of the state.
In the northern part there are large
areas Of tiilable land not in use. Ev-
erybody agrees that it would be de-
sirable to have this area covered with
farms instead of stumps. Various
ways of bringing settlers to northern
Wisconsin have been discussed. One
is for the state to help advertise the
land through agents and in other ways
another to offer settlers long term
loans at low rate of interest from
the state. This help from the state
would naturally make the land more
saleable and desirable, but we all know
that with increase in desirabilitY
would follow an increase in price
Consequently the help would be ex-
tended TO the land SPECTATORS instead
of settlers, and would be foolish. But
there is a way to make the land more
desirable to the settlers and less de-
sirable to the speculators--to make
one more anxious to buy and the other
more anxious to sell. If one of the
northern counties assessed for taxes
only the unimproved land value and
exempted all Improvements, a farmer
would not be fined by the assessor
every time he pulled stump, built a
house or bought COW. The taxes of
the settler who used his land. would
be comparatively low, while the taxes
of the Speculation, who held his unim-
proved. would be comparatively high.
The owner of an eighty, cleared, built
up and stocked, would pay the same
tax as the owner of an equally good
eighty, on which no work was done
There is no injustice in this. The
man who improves his land ia the
sweat of his brow. who builds up the
community with schools, churches and
markets is entitled to the advantage
over the man who does nothing except
10 wait till he can reap the fruits of
the others labor in the increased
land prices in more thickly settled
districts. A county assessing taxes
in this way would soon be settled,
neighboring counties would follow the
example, and Wisconsin would be rich
er in material resources and happy
homes. For this reason ] favor the
Nordman amendment to the constitu-
ton. J. X. SCHREINER.

punishment for her motel What il
he had had some very good excuse
But she could conceive of none that
was plausible.
The physical depression result
ing from no dinner added to her
mental distress. She forced herself
out to the icebox. There was cold
meat and some leftover asparagus,
but, too heartsick to eat, she gulped
down a glass of milk.
Where was he dining? She pic

realization Of his ability to make her

Now, staring into the darkness,
Helen struggled against the i'm
pulse to turn toward him-to talk
it QUITO get his explanation what
ever it might be. But his silent
remoteness was sternly forbidding
The honk of a belated motor
grated on the midnight hush. The
bedside clock ticked insistently.
While she was trying to formulate
some pleading overture, he broke the
silence with a harsh, well, you
