SHOULD THE GOVERNMENT TAX
LAND?


may *'Ol DS iOuSh
In vain, but that out OF il ashes ma
rise nobler democracy, a grande
civilization and a better race, w
earnestly urge the need of dirct
equitable and effective system Of tar
alton so that ample revenue can b,
obtained without placing burdel
upon our people or on their posterily
This is the preamble Of an appea
to member OF the presidents cabine
and 10 congress by men who believe
that now is the time to inaugurate
land value taxation. The statement
continues:
This is our war, and, If trouble
must come, let It be in our time that
our children may have peace
This is our war. We are honest
enough and brave enough to pay for
it. We should ever bear in mind that
our revenues should be obtained In
such a just manner that they Will
tend to form a more perfect union,
establish Justice. promote the general
welfare, and secure the blessings of
liberty to ourselves and our poster
ity.'
"a federal tax on land values not
only conforms to all Of our American
ideals OF justice and fair play, but
II is absolutely necessary II We IN
tend to realize the ideals OF democ
raey that this government stands for,
and which we wish to herald to the
broken and distressed people OF an
autocratic ruled world.
"We are confident that you realize
that land values are social values aud
exist either because OF the presence
OF population at any given point or
to the inherent productivity OF the
land.
"The social values that are created
by the community, as well as what

used by the government for the use
OF all: and In times of national dan
ger, at least, no man or~set OF men
should be permitted TO appropriate
these social values.
AT this time of great national
stress, no man or set Of men should
be permitted to withhold land from
use for speculative purposes; and a
federal land value tax would, in this
crisis of our country's life, be extra
valuable, because 1t would
not only destroy land speculation, hut
would also take social land values
into the treasury of the government
for public purposes and be an ample |
fund to sustain the government at its
highest efficiency.
mot only would II do this, but such |
i system. based upon self-evident |
Justice, would do that which no other |
system can possibly do. 1t would:

"Curtail bond issues,
Insure stability OF loan securities, |
Increase ability to repay loans,

BOSTON, Aug. 23-Miss Sarah Ru-

sioner Hayes in $500, personal recog-
nizanee, for hearing August % on the
complaint that she offered 500 as a
bride to a member of the board of cx-

ence his decision relative to her brother
She was represented by an attorney
who told the commissioner in explain
alton of the girl s act, that she was
a newcomer to this country and did
not realize the unlawfuhess of her
offer of money. The attorney declared
that she thought there was no harm in
paving 800 as a fee for re-examiI "a
ton of her brother, who previously
had been passed as physically fit for
| military service under the draft act.
The commissioner then asked as to
the length of time that the defendant
had been in the United States The
attorney answered that If was 10 years
and that she came from Russia. The
commissioner then stated that she had
| been here long enough to know some
| thing about the moral code of the coun
| try and that he purposed to teach hel
before he was through with the case.

ACCIDENTALLY SHOT
Was Crossing Dam Near East Pitts
ford When Rifle Was DISCHARGED
Lived Short Time.

RUTLAND, Aug 23.-Earl Coursey
of Lincoln avenue, while on fishing
and hunting trip with his brother. Clar-
ence, accidentlv shot himself Yesterday
forenoon while crossing the East Pitts
ford dam near the home of II. w. Per
kins.
The Perkins family heard the cries
for help and hurried to the spot which
was but about 200 yards away. It was
found that the lad, who is about l3
years old. was wounded in the vicinity
of the heart and Mr.. Perkins telephoned
to this city for the Stearns auto-alHbu-
lance. To gain time he started by auto
mobile with the injured boy and his
brother towards this city. Earl SIR
vived the trip but died a few minutes
after reaching the Rutland hospital
The two boys were walking across the
lower part of the dam and it is thousi t
that Earl slipped and in some way ac-
cidcntly discharged the gun. The
brother, Clarence, was in such a state
of collapse that he did not know exact
~ how the accident did occur
The two boys left Tuesday for a camp
ing trip and, as if she had a Fremont
tion of the catastrophe. their mother
when they left. said: You will either
be shot or drowned.
Their father, Frank f. Coursey, who
| is in the meat business, was standing
| near the Barker stable on Willow street
when the ambulance was called and il
was stated that an accident had occurred
at East Pttsford. Not knowing the
nature of the trouble or the parties con
ccrned, but with fear in his heart al
he knew his boys were in East Pitts
| ford, Mr.. Coursev hired a conveyance
and started for the scene of the accident
within the city limits on North Main
street he met the auto bringing his dy
ing son to the hospital. The mothe
tainted when she heard the news.

WATCH ALLIED DRIVE CLOSELY
Officials Say It will Show How Strong
/ German Lines Are.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23-Ofiicial
Washington is showing unusual interest
in the allied drive now being made on
the Western front. In the administra
ton circles, at the capitol and in the
navy and war Departments it is gen
orally asserted that the offensive is the
Allies answer to the pope s peace pro
posal.
Those most interested of all are the
army officers, for they see many pos
sibilities in the drive, From the cold
niitarisitic viewpoint they see the at
tempt of the allies to demonstrate their
strength, and at the same tine their
attempt to prove that the German lines
are crumbling. Army officers of high
rank are more interested than anything
else in seeing how long the offensive will
continue. They say if the drive stops
soon it will mean little, for stopping
will indicate that the German lines still
are strong in resisting and that the allle
do not want to pay in lives the price o
territory regalnod.

that thew would stand BY the govern
ment. The action taken bv che TX
men at Philadelphia was not planned as
a protest against that of the strikers
who are holding up government work
at New York, but prediction was made
that it would serve as wholesome OBJ
.icct lesson for all laborers gagcd in
work for the government in It's war
preparations.
The committee which called on Sccre-
tarv Daniels included Harvey \. Iahn,
master electricians; Thomas O'Connor,
master hoilermakcr; James J. Mullen,

Boxing News and Notes.
BY FRED HAWTHORNE

II we were one OF those old-fash-
toned sporting writer's who lived and
had their being a score of years ago
we would say that "all roads will lead
10 the Harlem Sporting Club to-mor-
low evening" But, being Of the new,
under-slung, 1917 model, twelve-cylin-
der, selective type, three-speed, we
will not refer to the ten-round bout
between Benny Leonard and Jack Brit
ton at Billy Gibson's Harlem club in
any such bewhiskered style. Like the
bout itself, the opening paragraph
should have a punch" in it.
As we mounted the steps to Billy
Grupp's gymnasium yesterday after
noon to watch Leonard 90 through his
final day of training for the bout with
Britton we heard something that
sounded like "B'am. Zowie! Ouch.'
and then we saw the cause and effect.
Fhe lightweight champion Of the
world was throwing right and left
hooks, uppercuts and swings at PRO
fessor" Grupp and finding the target
with about ninety-nine out of every
hundred. A crowd of railbirds stood
about the ring, watching the workout
and crowding close up, and then
closer. Benny had about as much
privacy as old lrv Cobb's popular gold
fish. but he didn't seem 10 dread il.
Grupp used 10 be a good middle
weight battler in his time, and he is
vet able TO fill a pair of five-ounce
mitts capably, besides having put or
a bit of weight. In spite of this, the
lightweight king made a remarkable
showing and stood right up TO the
music as Grupp let fy with both hands.
The "professor" had his own troubles
in trying to get Benny in position for
even one full-grown wallop. He was
entirely too busy assimilating Leon
ards hail Of blows. IL was only in
the wrestling and "bulling" about the
ring in the clinches that Grupp was
able TO do his share.
After finishing off with Grupp,
leonard mingled with two or three
other life-size box fighters, did some
work with the skipping rope and bag,
and then had his rundown. Listen,
stranger; this boy, Benjamin, looked
awfully good to muh The possible
three or four pounds extra that Brit
ton will carry into the ring with him
tomorrow night should not prove
much of handicap to the lightweight
champion, judging from the manner in
which he hobnobbed yesterday with
Grupp ct al.
But let us not forget that Mister
Rritton is I'm the picture. Three or
