SINGLE TAX IDEA GROWS IN
CALIFORNIA

AS a result of the recent election
there develops that the single tax
idea is growing. Luke North is one
Of the leaders of the idea in this coun-
try and this is what he says:
"California plutocracy had the
scare Of its life-and has escaped with
a whole skin only because the new
ness and strangeness of The Great
Adventures demand for the practice
of the world-old teaching, confused
even the friends Of man for time,
and left the first real campaign for a
free earth with an insufficient fund to
counterfeit the enemy's tremendous
fear emotion generated through the
daily press. In the last fortnight of
the campaign plutocracy threw aside
even it's pretense of decency and open
ly admitted that the single tax amend
ment was the one vital issue on the
ballot Never mind they said, who
is president or senator, whether wet
or dry wins! Defeat single tax! That
is the one great danger
"The Great Adventure has spent
about eleven thousand dollars, against
perhaps that many hundreds of thou
sands. We lose-temporarily! Let
the enemy make the most of it's vic
tory"
While there are good arguments in
favor of the single tax, this country
should long hesitate before adopting
the idea.

Kill Pet Deer
afOK 2 Bluff

The tame deer at Gibraltar BLUFF
is dead.
The entire neighborhood is in
mourning.
Nothing else is being discussed
about the long December firesides be-
sides the loss Of the pretty animal.
For some time there has been q
deer at Gibraltar bluff near Okee and
had become pet in the neighborhood.
James Buchanan, who resides at the
foot of the bluff, was in Baraboo on
Thursday and says the animal was
killed by a game warden because one
of the residents had complained the
deer was disturbing his stock. Mr..
Buchanan says he cannot believe the
conservation department at Madison
would order it killed without consult
ing some Of the other residents or
the neighborhood. Eli Smith, Martin
Warner, William Lopez, and others
had taken great interest in the deer
and when the snow was deep had fed
the animal. About a year ago its
mate was killed by some unknown
person and now the other is gone.
Mr.. Buchanan says it is the one
deep regret of the entire neighborhood
and mad he known such step was
contemplated he would have taken
energetic steps to prevent the tragS
edy,

Up in Menomonie, Wis, the Mirror
lis published by Hon. Carl Pieper,
philosopher and assemblyman. Solilo-
Quizing on the question, care Short
Crops a Blessing?" he reflects thusly:
According to the government crop
report the farmers of Wisconsin have
raised 100000 bushels of potatoes
this year. which are worth $2O,OOO,0O0,
against 100000 bushels last year,
which sold on the market for only
S1O,2OO,OOO. According to these fig
ares our farmers get $9,8OO,OOO more
for this years short crop than they
received last year for a good crop.
This proves that the less the farmer
raises the more money he gets"
Well now, Brother Pieper, just
point out farmer who delights in a
crop failure.

BIG THOUGHTS In MESSAGE

The following are some Of the pre-
dominant ideas in President Wilson's
message:
President demands enlargement of
the interstate commerce commission.
Amend federal mediation law so
that there shall be full investigation
Of every dispute before a strike is
permissible.
Give president power to use rail
roads in case of military or other ne
cessity, with authority to draft train
crews into service.
Men cannot be made to work, but,
on the other hand, bodies Of men must
not have the right to stop. the indus
trial processes of the nation until
there has been full investigation.
There is no new principal in such ac-
ton, says the president.
Congress should pass vocational
education bill.
Enact a stringent corrupt prac-
tees act while the election is still
fresh in mind.
Amend organic act of Porto Rico
to give the people justice.
Give business men a legal right to
combine to promote exporting.

Grimm's Fairy Tales with stories Oh
his own. The best part of it is, they
are original. One is not at all SUR
prised to walk into his tent at any
time and imagine Carl sailing down
railroad track seventy miles an hour
on a bicycle in front of an express
train, or catching fish that makes
whale look like a minnow. We are
trying to figure out whether we should
publish these stories or let the young"
err generation thrive on dime novels
as they contain less thrills.
"Bodo'' Karl (better known as Tar
Baby spent a few days at Leon
Springs. While there he must have
met a mysterious wild man, for he
came back with a noodle full Of brand
new stuff on the wrestling game. The
mystery remains unsolved.
Skinny" Capener and Shorty
Case have been taking long, tiresome
jaunts through the woods lately and
when questioned as to the idea "Shor-
ty" replied that he was keeping in
trim for the bicycle races at the fair
next fall. He must have some idea
of coming home before that time.
Corporal Dryer has his squad al
most under control. BY the time their
enlistment is up in 1922 they should
be perfect.
Taking it all around we are all sick
Of soldering and willing to come back
to Wisconsin, where hospitality means
a great deal more than it does here.
How do we know? What about the
turkey you people sent to us? We
won't forget that right away, and sure
Iy feel grateful to the people of Bar
aboo and Reedsburg for their kind
ness.

Ne 0)S From
ole Border
(By Gibb.)

Well! Thanksgiving has come and
gone and, as far as | can figure, all
are thankful that they are still living
after six months service in the reg
ular army. Why shouldn't they be
thankful? Everyone is making his
fifteen dollars month, rain or
shine, unless some officer takes q
notion to fine him two-thirds Of it.
When he gets it, it is question to
see who can spend his first, and then
'tbeef' the hardest over his loss after
it is gone. Some of us have money
two days of the month and "beef" the
other twenty-nine. Gee! but this is
gay life!
Speaking Of oratory! say, we have
men in this company who could make
Patrick Henry or Daniel Webster look
like ninety-fve cent talking machine,
not mentioning Bryan and others that
are paid for making a noise.
"Monk" Hattie came into camp yes
terday with a look on his face that
would have done justice to an English
bull When asked the idea of the
makeup, he replied:
believe me, / just bawled street
car conductor to FRAGILE. What I
didn't say to him was what I couldn't
think of"
"Dago" Bates asked him what he
said and Monk" answered, Nothing;
/ was so mad I couldn't speak"
We are well aware that Mark Twain
was capable Of pulling stuff like this,
so after thinking it over we have come
to the conclusion that the only diff
ference between Hattie and Twain is
that Twain received money for it and
Hattie doesn't.
Otto Ritzenthaler also ranks high
as a comedian, but owing to the fact
that he has found out it doesn't pay
to entertain the fellows in this man
ner, he has started in business for
himself. Of course it is on a small
plan and as far as | am able to find
out he has it all paid for. Of course
that doesn't make much difference
anyway in the army, as the only way
you can keep friend is to owe him.
We have a fine Y. M. G. A. right
next to camp, with plenty of enter
tainment The most important Of
these is the photograph, and when
we get sick of that we come back to
camp and listen to BUNNY" talk. He
is the one man in the world that can
say more in twenty minutes than the
average person can figure out in two
weeks Oh, yes! He is still living,
although there are few who like
their sleep that are praying that he
loses his voice.
Duke" Argyle; you PROBABLY re-
member him as Sam. The reason we
used ''Duke" at first is because after
reading an article in the paper on
the Duke Of Argyle, he actually had
some of our men thinking that he was
distant relative of his. Of course
we couldn't all believe it, because we
knew Sam before he joined this or
ganiZation.
Between Curt and James Curry we
are well posted on high school reports.
If we could only station a correspond
ent at Meyers & Scovell's pool room
am sure we would feel much nearer
home.

The population of the United
States has increased to 102826,309 Or
to 113,309,285, if all the possessions
are included. The increase in popula-
ton in the possessions does not con-
Germ one so much as the increase in
this country. More people mean
greater problems in several lines. It
means that the whites and colored
people of the south are brought near
err together and at the same time near
er the brink Of some sort Of a revolu-
ton. An increase in population means
more people in the cities in cOmpari-
son with the country, and this one

Concerning a list Of high school pu-

Mrs. John M. DIN, Madison, writes
to o. D. Brandenburg of that city that
about one-third in the list secured d

proportion, probably three-fourths, are
still living.

Since the election there have been
pros and cons over the electoral col
lege. This year the candidate for
president received the most votes at
the ballot box and will receive the
most votes when those of the cleo
toral college are counted at Washing
ton. This is a roundabout process
and many cannot see why the votes
should not be direct for the candidate
instead of some other person. In the
past the present plan has cost candi-
dates their seat in Washington when
they received the most popular votes,
but not a majority of the electoral
college, This gave a depressing effect
to the losing side, but they had to
abide by the time-honored arrange
ment. AS result of the outcome the
present year, the numbering against
the college is possibly less than in
the past, and the institution will no
doubt stand another four years.

BODY OF MISSING MAN |S FOUND
 NEAR VALDEZ

The remains of Louis Short, who disappeared nearly a year ago while out on prospecting trip on the noun tains north of Valdez, were found Saturday by Elmer Postal and George Taylor The body was lying on clump of elder bushes and would be invisible to anyone unless directly above it. From it's long exposure lit tie remained but the skeleton, and from the appearance of this it was indicated that Short had either fallen over the bluff above, or had attempt cd to climb up the cliff and had fallen, bringing down quantity of rock with him. He evidently never stirred after he fell. The bones of the right arm had the appearance of being broken. MT. Postal came to town and notified the authorities of his find.
 Early last spring Short sought work at the Granby mine. Being disap pointed he Announced that he would take up prospecting, and the night before he started out informed Mir. Postal that he was going up Mineral creek. The next morning he started out, and as he did not return for sev- eral days MT. Posttl and Robert Krampitz went up Mineral creek in an attempt to find him. Later John s. Hockey and Marshal w. T. Scott and others searched for some time, all in the vicinity of Mineral creek, and at times probably close to the body of the unfortunate man, without finding him.
 Last October Mr. Hockey received q letter from the parents of Mir. Short, who reside at No. 9 Fleet Street. Lon don, England thanking him and the citizens of Valdez for their efforts to locate their missing son.
