RAISE WAR FUND AND

Illinois Senator Says That Vast

Should be Made to Pay.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-Single tax
has now been brought into the fore
ground of the long list of ideas put
forward in congress to help win the
war. Senator James Hamilton Lewis,
the Democratic whip of the senate has
offered measure designed 10 levy
heavy federal tax upon all unused
lands throughout the United States.
not merely as a means of helping to
raise the enormous evepue needed
for war purposes, but also to force
increased cultivation to stimulate food
production.
Senator Lewis's proposal would levy
a federal tax upon unused land equi-
valent to the local and state taxes
now levied upon such lands. He esti
mates that the tax would yield fully a
hundred million dollars to the feder-
al government annually and would
help greatly to meet the deficit caused
by the recent prohibition enactments
of congress.
The single tax plan is one of many
methods proposed to make use of the
vast areas of unused lands through
out the country, particularly in the
! west. otudlOI bOIdn, Oh luduO, mas
frequently urged the federal govern
ment to push the reclamation and ir-
rigation of millions of rres which he
believes could produce foodstuffs far
in excess of the needs of this coun-
try and allies and solve the whole
problem of food shortage.
Discussing his plun, and pointing
aut its numerous advantages, Senate
Lewis said: "The proposal as to thu
tax upon the unoccupied and unculti
waited lands, as rendered by me, is fol
the purpose of forcing the unculti
waited and to bring forth food to the
people of our country an0 for the sol
diers of our armies. That which is no
cultivated will now bring a tax upoI
the basis that my proposal provides
equal to a hundred million dollars
and will take that tax off persona
property inheritances and incomes
and make up the deficit created b,
the operation of the prohibition en-
actments.
at will also prevent lying idle vas
acres of lands throughout the countr.
! which are being held for speculation
, depending upon the rise of values up
on adjacent land that is cultivated b,
the industry of others TT IS propose
will apply to country and city alike
and will force the imm liate improve
) ment of lots in the city and the cult
, vation of all land in the country"

Bad Break on the
High Line Canal
Filled Bank In Draw Gives Away and
Water Damages Property in Down
ward Rush.

Breaking from an unknown cause
through filled bank in the high line
canal, a mile east and six miles south
of Twin Falls early this morning a
rush of irrigating water swept through
the property of the Cooperative Or
chard company and o-ier land owners
doing damage to the extent of which
cannot at present be estimated A
force of men are being assembled to
mend the break, which it will take
several days to close.
Secretary w. o. Taylor of the Twin
Falls Canal company said today that
the break occurred just before seven
o'clock a. m. and was promptly re-
ported Orders were at once given
and carried out to shut off water
above but it will be evening before
the water will wholly cease running
after which time repairs will begin
promptly. 1t will take three or four
days to mend the break. The water
will wash out more or less all the
property for two miles down the draw
to the low line canal. The extent OF
the damage, Mr.. TAYLOR said, could
not be estimated until the water had
| ceased to run.

the Russian retreat looks much like a

would be, but say these things are

Forbidden to Enter

General Eben c. Swift, in command at
Camp Gordon, issued an order Saturday
afternoon temporarily prohibiting enlist
ed men of the national army from visit
ing Chamblee.\

stood. have not yet been able to provide
a, chain of sewers and work out other
sanitary features that the government
requires as a protection to it's soldiers.
The government also requires for rigid
inspections of foods and meats and WA
ter that may be consumed by the sol
diers. s.
The citizens of Chamblee held a meet
ing Saturday night to make plans to
meet all that the government requires
in the way. of sanitary regulations. The
soldiers were prevented from entering
Chamblee Saturday afternoon and night
by sentries stationed on the outskirts Of
the little city.
