Yet Dr. Zamenhoff must feel that
his expectations of great conquests
for his language are far from reali

Since we have failed to adopt the
treaty which would leave questions
pertaining to our national honor open
to arbitration by outsiders, the ques
tion whether the Panama Canal reg

or not is one we can settle for our

ARGUES AGAINST LAND TAX
ESTACADA, Sept. 13 (Editor of
; the Enterprise) So far in the disr
sion of the single tax neither its. ad
vocates nor its opponents have called
attention clearly to what the single
tax is intended to do. 'Both sides
have dealt with the figures showing
what the taxes would be if present
single tax measures sould be adopted.
The figures are ' necessarily approxi
mations. But I wish to speak of the ultimate
end of single tax. In chapter VIII, of
Henry George's. "The Land in Ques
tion," he gives the clearest state
ment of the purpose of single tax that
I know of. He says: "The onry true
and just solution of the problem, the
only END worth aiming at, is to
make ALL the land the common prop
erty of ALL the people "This then is
the en,d of single tax. The graduated
single tax amendment and the county
single tax bill we must vote upon
November 15th would not of them
selves bring this end about; but they
would be a big step in that direction
and I think the people could rest as
sured that they would be asked to go
on and and on until the ultimate end
of single tax is reached. It is like
wise true that the people have the
sovereign power in their own hands
to go as far as they wish, or to back
up if the results do not suit them.
But they will do nothing blindly. We
should see clearly, if we can see,
whither we are embarking ere we
cast off our anchor.
Henry George says: "How shall
this, be done? It merely necessary to
divert the rent which now flows into
the pockets of tire- landlords into the
common treasury of the whole peo
ple." Further he says: "It is a very
easy thing thus to sweep away all
private ownership of land, and cot
vert all -occupiers into tenants of the
state by appropriating rent." He says
the titles still would remain with the
people but that they would be empty
titles, such as the pretender to the
throne of France who calls himself
the "King of France."
Now, gentlemen, do you not wish
such a condition of affairs to be
brought about? If you do, vote for
single tax; if you do not, vote against
it. In the Jamestown colony of Mass
achusetts the land was first held in
common, or was the property of all
the people there residing. Conditions
Dawgone Funny, Ain't It, ScoopYes? No!
werel particularly favorable in the
Plymouth Colony for the success of
such an experiment, but neither
colony prospered until pvivate own
ership of land was adopted. Where
ever else in the world communal
ownershop ' of alnd has been tried it
has proven S. failure. There are
semi-civilized tribes who hold land in
common. Civilization never comes
to them till they accept private own
ership of land. The American Indian
is an example. When he becomes the
owner of a farm he becomes a useful
citizen of our country, but is a burden
while sustaining tribal relations and
holding a common interest in his res
ervation. Communal holdings of land give the
idle the same benefits as the indus
trious, the spendthrift the same as the
frugal. There would be no incentive
to make good improvements upon a
farm that was not a man's own. He
would, expect the state, the benefi
ciary of the rent, to make the im
provements. He would expect the
state to clear the wild land, build the
fences, dig the wells, and make all
permanent improvements. There
would be no incentive to excel. Com
munities would go backward instead
of forward.
The right of private ownership has
been abused by many, but there are
remedies for these abuses without
: destroying private ownership. We
should give earnest study to the solu
tion qf these problems as their solu
tion would remove causes which lead
many to accept single tax.
I think I have made clear the END
which single tax aims to bring about
by giving Henry George's own words.
As he is the father of -the single ax
idea it must be accepted as autb'- iy.
Keep this end clearly in view v'"ien
you go to the polls November 6th and
do not listen to the pocket book ap
peal of the single taxer. uoYrtax may
be less for awhile but do you wish
ultimately to surrender your title to
your land to the state? Tbis is the
i real question proposed by the single
tax.

Artificial Rubber.
According to a report from Ameri
can Consul General Griffiths of Lon
don, a method of making artificial rub
ber has now been perfected, and the
new product will cost less than half
that charged for rubber nowadays. If
true this will give the grand bounce
to the rubber trust. It will also glad
den the heart of the autotnobilist. give
a new springiness to the step of the
man who wears overshoes, gum boots
or rubber heels and put joy in the
soul of the small boy with a bean
shooter.
A description of the new process is
Interesting. It Is thns described by
Mr. Griffiths:
In order to produce rubber commercially
it was necessary. It was stated, to discov
er a cheap source of isoprene. Coal, pe
troleum, wood, sugar and starch were
considered. Finally starch from grain or
tubers was chosen at a price of less than
a penny (2 cents) per pound, and It was
found that isoprene could be readily ob
tained from fusel oil, which is a byprod
uct of ordinary alcoholic fermentation ot
starch. It was Indispensable also to dis
cover a cheap way of making fusel oil.
and after a year and a half, it is claimed,
a process has been disclosed which will
enable fusel oil to be produced at $170 to
$218 per ton as against a normal market
price of about $681 per ton.
Long live "Isoprene," also long live
Professor W. H. Perkin of Manches
ter, the discoverer of the new method
Let us hope that when we buy a pair
of artificial rubber overshoes hereafter
they will not spring aleak the next day,
as has happened occasionally with real
rubber ones. Also let us hope that ar
tificial rubber tires will not blow op
when we are in the middle of desola
tion, fourteen miles from a garage.
Of late years rubber prices have
been so elastic that they have stretched
many a poor motorist. almost to the
breaking point With this new discov
ery we can maybe buy new tires
without mortgaging the farm.

NE of the most picturesque figures In modern English history has
passed away In the death of General William Booth, the founder of
the Salvation Army. Although he was eighty -three years old, he had
been active in the direction of the army until he was stricken with
blindness last June. He was an untiring worker and never suffered a serious
Illness until' his last- He was well known in this country, which he visited
for the last time four years ago. Every one acknowledged the spiritual force
of this remarkable man, but he was no less remarkable as a practical or
ganizer. Field Marshal Lord Wolseley once said that the British army had
taken lessons from the Salvationists In methods of organization, distribution
and control. His son Bramwell (photograph shown at left of illustration),
who succeeds him In command of the army, Is said to have Inherited his
father's genms as an executive.
