Sudden Death Of w. o. Erickson

Sudden Death Of w. o. Erickson
1t could not be believed in Oakes
last Thursday that Will. Erickson had
passed away. He had been in the
city such short time before and
had looked So hale and hearty and so
busy, that news of his death could
not be taken seriously.
But yet it was too true. He had
been i'll since the Friday before. but
could not find the time to go to bed:
Even the day he had to give up he
had hauled some grain 10 the Guelph
elevator. 1t was heart trouble and
pneumonia that brought his qulcs end
at midnight, Oct. 9th.
William Olaf Erickson was born in
Clement township, this county, Jan.
4, 1891. He was second Oldest son of
Ole and Anna Erickson. and was Che
of nine children born to them. There
are now only five of the children left
being Roy and Arthur, who are at
Camp Custer, Mich, Mrs. G. Ernst of
LaMoure, Miss Edna of Great Falls.
Mont, and Palmer who was on the
place west of Guelph with the one
who has just passed away.
The funeral was held on Friday,
services being conducted by Rev. H.
Moe. Interment was made in the
Clement cemetery.

SOLUTION OF
farm TAXATION
SINGLE TAX METHOD AS APPLIED
BY NEW YORKER
Picked as Text Book by Leaders ot
Nonpartisan Political League

P. E. Peterson, one of the big far.
mers living six miles northeast Of
-Oakes, last spring sent for text
book advertised in the Nonpartisan
Leader as one of their campaign text
books. He received the book and
noted it to be a work of Frederic C..
Howe, of New York. a noted socialist
writer. Mr.. Howe is author Of such
books as "Why War;" "Socialized
Germany" Privilege and Democracy
in America" etc. Mr.. Peterson has
been making good use Of the book
among his neighbors in showing up
the plan of the Nonpartisan League
in dividing up farms and the manner
of taxation according to the "Single
Tax" system. This book is known as
"The High Cost of Living" and the
following are excerpts taken from
Chapter 81:
"Of all the measures proposed for
the solution Of these problems the
taxation of land values is the simplest
and most effective.
"It will do more than all other
measures combined to create that
fluidity of movement from the city to
the country and from the country to
the city that should be- the principle
of Industrial efficiency and Of indus
trial democracy as well. The imme-
diate effect Of increasing the taxes on
land would be to check speculation.
And speculation is the real reason
why men want more hand than they
can use. They are holding It against
the needs Of society. This is not only
true Of farming land; it fs true Of city
land as well. This is; why onelfalf Of
the land enclosed IN farms Il not IN

Taxes on Land Increased

Taxes on Land Increased
"This reform, known generally as
the single tax, is comparatively easy
to inaugurate. It can be put into ef-
feet by the legislature of any state or
by a county where home rule in tax
alton exists, by an act which exempts
from local taxation all houses, barns,
Improvements, growing crops, ma
chinery, and personal property of
every nature and description. BY
merely exempting these kinds of
property from taxation all taxes auto
matically fall upon land. No other
taxes will be levied. AS a result the
taxes on land will be automatically
increased. And if the tax is heavy
enough it will discourage the holding
Of land for any other purpose than
production. Such change would
not materially burden the speculator,
it is true, If the tax rate were incon-
siderable. But If the tax upon the
land was increased to per cent, on
the actual value it would become such
burden that the owner would seek
some means of escape from it. A tax
rate Of per cent on land valued at
500 an acre would amount to $500
per, acre. On a 10,000acre farm the
taxes would amount to $4,000. On a
100,000acre farm they would amount
to 100000 year.
"Quite obviously Big Owners would
be driven either to sell their land or
put it to productive use under such a
tax. They would either cultivate 1t
themselves or dispose of it to would
be farmers. They would cut their
estates up into small holdings: they
would accept easy terms of payment:
they would offer generous terms to-
tenants: they would pay higher wages
to farm laborers. And II the tax upon
the land were made sufficiently heavy
men would take only such land as
they actually needed or as they actu-
ally worked. whether 1t was ten acres
or hundred acres. They would pay
an annual tax to the state, not unlike
the rental now paid the landlord. But
