S. J. Doyle Tells of Fight Waged
against Fallacy by Farmers }.
in Missouri
WHAT TOWNLEY PURPOSES
Would Saddle all Cost of Govern
ment on Land as Means
of COnfiscation
WHAT TOWNLEY PURPOSES

Fargo, Sept 2S.-The sugar-coateo
single tax doctrine proposed for adop
ton by the people of North Dakota by
a group of Socialists who have cloaked
it under the attractive title, "eXemp
ton of farm improvements" is DIS.
cussed at length, and the fallacy OF
the doctrine disclosed, in nartlcle
given to the public today by the joint
committee in charge of the campaign
for the election of S. J. Doyle for gov
ernor OF North Dakota.
The story of the fight made by the
farmers Of Missouri against the en-
actment OF the single tax in that state
is presented by the committee, when
disclOses that in Missouri the single
tax. as it always does, had the sup
port OF the veal thy interest, the mold
ers of vast perS onal property posses.
siOnS, who, thu Ough the medium OF
the single tax. shift the burden or
taxation from themselves onto the
land.
In its discussion Of the single tax.
the committee leads off with quota
ton from progress and Poverty, a
book by Henry George, the original
single tax advocate. page 4O3 and 4o4
of that book setting forth the George
theory as follows:
81 do not propose either to purchase
or to confiscate private property IN
land. The first would be unjust; the
second needless. Let the individuals
who now hold it still retain, if they
want to, possession of what they are
pleased to call THEIR land. Let
them continue to call it THEIR land,
let them buy and sell and bequeath
and devise itA We may safely leave
them the she'll, if we take the kEh-
MEL"
1T is not necessary to confiscate
land; it is only necessary to cont's-
cate the rent. In this way the state
may become the universal landlord
without calling herself so.' S..
Thus. as Henry George expresses
it. the whole purpose of the single tax
is ownership of land by the state.
The point of the single tax. as ap.
piled to the North Dakota political
situation, is found in the fact that the
doctrine was set forth in House Bill
"A, supported by Governor Frazierpand
opposed by Mr. Doyle. Mr.. Doyle also
opposes the particular proposed con
stitutional amendm now before the
people of North Dakota that sets forth
the single tax idea under the head or
exemption of improvements on land
from taxation.
In it's analysis of the single tax. the
committee quotes from letter by
Jewell ,Mayes, secretary of the Mis-
souri, state board of agriculture. JET
. ferson City, Mo-, who was in charge
of the publicity campaign in Missouri
when the fight was staged there IN
: 1912. In part Mr.. Mayes says:
Saddle Tax on Farmers.
1.-THE year 1912 witnessed the at
tempt to saddle. the single tax onto
Missouri farmers.
-Four country men met one day IN
Kansas City at the office of the late
Senator George Falcon, early in the
summer, and then and there decided
to call a state convention at the cap
tia to lay before the people the truth
