ductve work, merely because they happen
to be in need. would only be a form OF
wasteful charity.
The right to work means the right Of
access to natural opportunities. 1t means
that labor must not be hampered with
taxes levied upon il or upon its products.
II means that all men should have an
equal right to the use Of the earth and
that those enjoying exclusive possession
Of any part of the earth should be requir-
ed to pay for the privilege by putting
the annual rental values into the public
treasury to be used for public purposes.
If that We're done it would make 1t easy
and profitable TO hold land that is put
to its most productive use and hard and
Improbable to hold it out for specula-
tion. II would force all who are now with
holding valuable land from use to either
use it themselves or let others do so.
There would thus be opened opportun-
tiles to all who wanted to work. not ,or
60 days in the year only, but for every
day
If Idaho is ready TO recognize the right
to work, the way proposed by Henry
George is the right way to do II.

EEAR OF AN INVASION
[ohio State Journal.I

Admiral Grant was before the congress
sional committee the other day and told
it there was only one power that had en-
ough navy to land on our coast, if we
had the 1873 submarines and our present
fleet. He was asked if he thought it was
necessary to build a deet as large as the
nations and he answered no. And he
further said that the relations between
that country and this were very close.
My personal impression is there will new
er be a war between this power and the
country have in mind"
The power he referred to was Great
Britain. No other nation can invade
these shores and there is not the slight
est fear of that party ever making the
attempt. This is the opinion Of one of the
best posted men in the navy. 1t is a won
der he was not disciplined for talking so
frankly When one thinks of Admiral
Grants statement, how silly it seemed
to trot old man Maxim along the movie
shows to excite the people upon The hor-
rors of an invasion and the awful rapine
of happy homes

NOT SAYING MUCH ABOUT MARY'S
LITTLE LAMB

In last weeks Jewett Route items
there appears this note: Several far
mers in this vicinity delivered their wool
to Arbaugh & McElroy, of Jewett, last
week, at 3O1ac per pound, unwashed." d"
Doesn't that 3O1a unwashed look pretty
good? Fany will recall the dire prophe-
cies of Republican spellbinders of a few
short years ago concerning what would
befall the country, and particularly the
farmers if the tariff on wool and wollen
manufacturers were reduced But the
old order passeth we read, and times
have changed. l intact they had changed
and were changing rapidly before the
Democratic tariff was enacted-prices OF
wool had been dropping continuously, and
at diver shines from 1908 until IL wool
had sold at 26c and 28c unwashed under
the same protective tariff. But times
have changed! Under the Democratic
administration we have seen wool selling
at as high a price unwashed as
washed under republican high tariff and in
many cases higher. The woolen industry
is one of the most prosperous. THE

LAND VALUES IN CITIES
AND FARMS

The assessed value OF all land in New
York City. exclusive OF improvements.
and exclusive of franchise values and
real estate corporations, was Si,6i8,4li,-
7i6. In 1910 the assessed value was SA,-
OOi, 9,G5l In the same year the United
states census returned the value Of land
on all farms in New York State as S7O7,-
747,S2S, or less than is per cent. of the
land values of New York City; and less
tim half the value Of all property on the
farms Moreover the assessment figures
of the city excluded the value Of all inn
provements. The census figures for the
farms. included in land values all improve
ment values aside from buildings. So farm
land values must be much less than the
census showing. But even on the show
ing made it is clear that under the single
tax the combined taxes for state purposes
of all farmers in the state would be less
than IS per cent of the levy on New
York City.
If figures were available of land val
ues of Buffalo. Rochester. Syracuse, AL
bany and other New York cities and
towns, as well as all franchise values, the
farmers share of state taxes under the
single tax could undoubtedly be shown
to be triaing But selfish interest will
continue nevertheless to tell the farmers
that the single tax would burden them.
1t is Furthermore interesting to note
that the census shows the value Of all the
farms in all the Pacific and mountain
states combined to be less than the 1910
assessed value of New York City. The
combined value Of land Of all the farms
in California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho,
Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah,
Montana, wyoming, and Colorado was
but $3,42O, $50, ,644, including all improve
ments aside from building. That is $780,
OOO, 900 less than the assessed value Of in
dividually owned land in New York City

THE RIGHT TO WORK

The so called right to work" law Of
Idaho has been declared void by the state
Supreme court. 1t gave any unemployed
citizen of Idaho the right to employment
at S1.5O a day by his county authorities
for so days in each year. The law was
open to considerable just criticism. 1t ig-
nored sound economic principles and
would sooner or later be broken down
had it been allowed to operate without
amendment.
But it had its good points neverthe-
less. 1t accorded legal recognition to the
right of every man to an opportunity to
support himself without placing himself
under obligation to others. If recogni-
ton af that right is unconstitutional in
Idaho, then it is high time that the con-
stitution be changed.
But the right to work does not mean
the right to employment by public author
tiles 1t is quite conceivable that pub
lie authorities may have all the men at
work whom they can employ at produc-
tive labor. To employ others at unpro-

NO SPRING DUCK SHOOTING

There will be no spring duck shooting

migratory bird law would not be enfor-
ced and that hunters were getting
ready for the spring migration of geese
ducks and other game birds The law
will be enforced in all states and each
and every violation prosecuted as fast as
detected. A test csc is now pending in
the United States Supreme Court from
Arkansas on the constitutionality of the
federal law and this gave rise to the re-
port that the law would not be enforced

short distance from the northeast boun-

week and preparations for applying the
dynamite were made for last Monday af-
ternoon, when quite a large number of
people from town and the surrounding
country went ont, who had either had
never seen a well shot, or because they
had forgotten the appearance because or
the length of time which has elapsed
since such acts were of general almost
every day occurrence around New Bre-
men. There was "A little delay I'm the
work. but by the middle of the after
noon the go devil was dropped by Jess
Wessner and after the lapse of about
a minute, a large quantity Of rock and
oil was thrown high above the peak OF
the derrick, indicating that a goodly
quantity of the precious fluid had ac-
cumuated since the drill was taken out
of the hole.
Arrangements were at once made to
apply the pumping apparatus, but since
the well gave good indications of being
very good producer for this section, Mr..
Hirschfeld as well as others familiar with
the action of oil wells being of the op-
ion that the production may run up to
hfty barrels a day, special tank equip
ment had to be arranged for which caused
a several days delay in getting the pump
started. Activities in the field east of
town and to the north are just beginning
to open up and it is predicted that the
old time activity in the New Bremen oil
field win once more be revived. With
the exception of the Louise Heitkamp
farm east of town. nearly all the terri
tory thereabouts has been leased by this
time, and soon several rigs might be put
into operation. This well was drilled in
a field that formerly had never been
tested out properly and all the district
adjoining is, so to speak, an undeveloped
section.
The gas well on the Henry Buckeloh
farm, north of town, belonging to Al
Huenke's series of wells, recently discon-
tinued giving forth its supply of gas and
gave unmistakable indications of turning
into an oil well. Mr.. Huenke's drilling
tools are now in another section, but 1t is
said that he contemplates moving his rig
ging over to the Buckeloh lease very soon
to test out thoroughly for an oil vein.

Expression OF the call is thus given
in an editorial OF the Youngstown Vim

score of additional endorsements.

office or the nomination, but now that II
is made so plain that he is the one choice
