come so high as TO be confiscary,
with the result that the land will be
taken over by the state-getting

sounds quite plausible insofar as 1t
goes, but what about all classes Of
property other than farm land?
What possible injustice can be done
by taxing all property wherever
found? Why should the man with
500, 900 invested in farm mortgages
pay no tax, while the farmer who 10

property from taxation, seems to be
too stupid for serious discussion.

Naturally none of US would now

And naturally follows the great dis
covery recently made by The Ameri-
