| ers. The step taken by the Socialists
here last night Is directly in line with
the prediction that S; J Doyle made
when he first went on the stump that
the exemption of farm improve
ments" simply meant single tax with
sugar coating. His claim ha snow
been borne out in every particular by
the issuance of the new appeal, which
was put into the mails so late last
night that the Socialists didn't expect
the matter to become public until SO
late in the campaign that it would be
impossible for the farmers to learn
OF this new deception.
TO fully understand the new decep.
ton, one must compare the records.
The following is the appeal being
made to the business men, the owners
of valuable city properties. as a means
Of inducing them to support the So
cialist amendments" If you know
that if you paid no taxes on your
stocks of goods you could cut your
selling price by that much and so in
crease the number of your customers
nd the volume of their purchases and
so increase your profit" In the cir
cular prepared and d distributed in the
country districts only, and intended
only for the farmers, the Nonpartisan
league has dealt with the single tax
IN an entirely different basis, in at
tempting to deceive the farmers. as to
the actual purposes of the Amend
ment. The matter is presented in the
form of a question and answer as fol-
lows: "But big business say that is
single tax. That is all bunk. Single
tax is tax on land values alone.
This amendment merely makes 1t pos
sible TO exempt improvements on land.
Railroad right of ways, telephone and
telegraph companies. bank stock,
credits, incomes and scores OF other
things will continue to be taxed,'
BEARS out statements. This exposure
of the Socialist double dealing meth
cd is directly in line with what Mr..
Doyle has repeatedly declared from
the public platform. He has set forth
at all times that the single tax was
proposed and the appeal nov male ITO

state, not even during the two years
