Single Tax Debate
Is Waged at Meeting
Held In Unity Church

w. F. Baxter sustained the
Affirmative side and ]. B. Haynes
and David Olson the negative in a
debate on single tax held Wednes-
day evening in United church before
a gathering of 100 students of this
subject.
Mr.. Baxter urged the rights of the
common people, holding that all of
the people are entitled to share Of
the wealth that comes into a COM
munity by reason of enhanced val
ues created by growth of popula-
ton. He reasoned that when a
man sells a tract of Farnam street
property today for two or three
times what he paid for it few
years ago, society as organized pre-
sents him with such unearned incre-
ment.
Mr.. Haynes contended that ex-
perience proved that the scheme is
impracticable. and unavoidable. He
showed that in Edmonton, Canada,
more than $l,250,000 worth of real
estate was abandoned by owners
who refused to pay the exorbitant
taxes levied upon vacant lots. which
were earning no revenue. He as
serted that the single tax plan
would work disaster in any COM
munity where it might be applied

The death Of Frank T. Hamilton,
Omaha capitalist, has left gap in
the official personnel OF three large
Omaha business institutions which
will be hard to fill, according to his
closest business associates.
Up till now nothing has been done
to choose successors to the late
MIR. Hamilton, officials of organiza-
tons affected by his death say.

the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street
Railway company, of which Mr..
Hamilton was president, has tenn

Will Not Act Hastily.
Gurdon w. Wattles, chairman Of
the board of directors of the street
car company, stated yesterday that
a meeting of the board of directors
would be held next Tuesday.
Although we may take UP the
problem of choosing a new presi-
dent at the board meeting said
Mr.. Wattles, 1T is not likely that
we will make a decision at that
meeting. 1t is one of the most i'm
portant matters that has been
brought before the company for a
long time and we will not act
hastily"
Men who are in close touch with
the affairs of the company predict
that Mr.. Wattles will again take
charge of the company, as president
Others declare that Mr.. Wattles
duties as chairman of the board of
directors of the United States Ma
tional bank will make it impossible
for him to become president Of the
traction company.

An official of the Chamber of
Commerce Wednesday, declared
that in all probability no Omaha
man would be chosen as president.
Aman who is an expert in the man
agement of great traction lines is
needed by the company, this man
declared. The great expansion of
the company in recent years makes
it difficult for anyone but an expert
to handle, he said.
G. w. Clabaugh, vice president of
the Omaha Gas company, of which
Mr.. Hamilton was president, is now
acting as president. Mr.. Clabaugh
would not comment on the probable
successor of the late president.
Fred P. Hamilton is acting as first
vice president of the Merchants
National bank. He was second
vice president previous to Mr.. Ham
ilton's death. A board meeting will
be held some time next week to
choose a new first vice president, he

false about Miss Holcombe, and she
associated me with it. In fact, on the
very day she died she called me up
at the schoolhouse and threatened
Miss Holcombe and me with some
vague action that she meant to take

Dicky sat up straight, swung his
feet to the floor and rose his full
height upon them.

thing got into the newspapers"
He began to stride up and down
the room, his hands in his pockets.
I was bewildered by the attitude he
had taken, for I had expected re-
proof, invective, an intimation that
in some way my own carelessness
had caused the jealousy of my
principals wife. But instead he had

no danger yet lurked anywhere for
me.

COTTON MEN HAVE
 NEW SELLING PLAN
BRITISH SINNERS URGED TO SEND BUYERS TO FIELDS
 OF SOUTH.

New Orleans.-British cotton spin. Eers were urged by growers to send representatives to the fields of the South, to buy cotton from the farmer direct, to bale the staple as they see fit, eliminating all middlemen and hereby reducing the cost of the raw material to the spinner and increas- .ng the price paid the producer
 This proposal, along the lines of the systems used oy British tobacco manufacturing int srests in Kentucky, was made at a meeting of a special ence delegates, composed of 10 for eign spinners, 10 American spinners and 20 American cotton growers.
 It was the first time in 90 years that American cotton producers and British spinners had met in special conference
 The farmer who raises 10 bales Of cotton talked over his problems With the British spinner who buys a thou sand times his yearly output. The British spinner also told of his prob- lems, delayed machinery shipments, atrikes, tiuctuating market and la Dor scarcity
 Speakers agreed that no arbitrary price could be fixed for an given pc riod owing mainly to the tr emendous fluctuations in the amounts of cotton picked in relation to the amount planted in differen. years Condi- tions of weather and of insect de- lredations made it impossible to set an advance price on the staple as inc growing costs cannot be estimat- ed until the crop has been gathered and ginned.
