Editor Coos Dny Times:
..There hns been much discussion
of tho whlto Hlnvo evil, Its growth
nnd rnmlflcntlons, nnd mnny ex
press Riirprise nt Its magnitude: but
It BceniH to mo that, considering the
opportunities that have boon offeree'
by the general hick of publicity nnd
tho disposition of tho public to Ig
noro It, as hns heretofore been the
enso, tlio HiirprlKltig fnct Is that 1'
hns not gnlned nn oven wider foot
hold.
Much has boon snld of tho exploit
ers of girls nnd women nnd Htrlngcn'
lnws hnvo recently been passed for
their punishment. Mnny unsucccss
ful nttempts hnvo been mndo to, bnn
lull thcHo women nnd by exorbltan
linos to forco thorn out of business
but nil of thin docs not scorn to havr
tho desired effect.
Hut how n bout tho men who pnt
ronlzo them?"
Very llttlo hns been snld am'
nothing ilnno. It Is nppnront that t
Rurrcssfully stop nny business, It ir
necessary to Htop tho purchase, h
law, and with nulllclcnt potmltles nt
tnrhed, to render It effective. Stop
her Incomo nnd tho scnrlot wojnni
would practically renso to exist. I
Rccmii to mo that her crlmo ngnlns'
Bocloty Ir not so great oh that of thr
men who pntronlzo hor, and contrnc"
dlsoaso nnd Infect tholr loving wive
or marry Innocent girls nnd cltlio
Infect thorn or produce defcctlvi
children.
Therefore It scorns to me that met
nro nlmost Invnrlably responsible fir
tho fnct thnt there ore lowd women
nnd they nro tho only means of sup
porting tho wretched business mr
nro prlmo offenders nnd should !)
punlflhnil ns hucIi. So when you nr
rnlgn tho fallen woman nnd hold he
up to scorn, romombcr thnt If I
wero not for tho financial supper
of the men, nho would probably b
n true woman and n hnppy mother
Instond of a despised wretch. Si
ploaso flavo soino of your scorn fo
tho men who nro hor patrons am'
give hor tho benefit of some of
your Rympnthy. Ovorlook her short
romlngs ns much as you do those n'
the innn who patronlo her, win
have no excuso to offer for thorn
selves savo mlsernblo brute passion
whereas tho lowd women at Ions'
earn tholr mlsernblo livelihood.

Tho Minneapolis Farm, Block nn'
Homo, writing nn farming Interests
rites tho single tnx ns follows:
"Thoro Is no reason for fears 01
the part of tho fnnner thnt his In
forests will stiff or. In fact, tho re
verse Is llkoly to bo true, and ho li
nut to find nfter n fair trial of tin
slnclo tnx that ho would not wish If
go back to tho present system. Pui
In tho simplest form possible tho sin
glo tax provides thnt nil taxes shiil1
bo levied on tho burn laud, exclusive
of Improvements. Thus, If n mnr
hns a half section farm, with n goiu'
set or uiiiiiiingH up on It, he Ih tnxer
no more than the man who holds Ir
Idleness thu half section adjoining
In other words, ho Is not taxed ho
cniiBo ho hns been Industrious, bu'
becnuso ho holds for IiIh own nrlvii'
usu n certain part of the soli. I'
tho man whoso land lies Idle object
thnt he cannot afford to pay the tax
tho nnswer Is thnt society cannot nf
ford to have him hold out of use r
half section of land needed bv thr
community, which creates the vnlue
of tho land to which ho holds title
Kvory community hns nt loast our
example of such Idle land enriching
Its ownor without his raising lib
hand to help tho neighborhood. It
Is tho baritH and houses and hcIiooIf
nnd tilled Holds about him that have
mndo his ncres valuable, and the sin
gle tnx proposition Is that society
has a right to thnt which It Ikik
created In other wordH that It will
not nllow him to enrich himself n
tho expenso of Ills hnrd-worklng
nolghbors. lly tnklng tho net pro
HtH on land or n tnx the single taven
would drive tho speculator Into land
cultivation, or out of the Innd-ltnH
lug business, nltogethcr. Ah a mat
ter of fact tho common practice
throughout the country district loupe
toward tho single tax Idea. Tito wri
ter knows wholo townships where
tho nbscnteo owner Is tnxel 'all the
trallle will bear,' and where the as
Hessment. on live stock, bulldlnus
nnd other property, Is cut to as low
n point ns possible. This Is a recog
nition of the working principle of
tho slnclo tnx Ami it hns ns nn ob-
farmers. Hather than working n
detriment to tho ngrlrulturnl Inter
rMa of tho country. Farm. Stock nnd
Homo believes that a JiiRt application
of tho direct tax on land vnlue?
would larcoly Improve farm condi
tions by forcing Into use the Idle
lands now hold for sacculation pur
noses lands thnt ordlnnrllv do not
bear nny fair proportion of the a
burden, nnd directly In the degree to
which n man wns a farmer nnd not
n land speculator such a tnx would
benefit rather than harm him."
