The step taken by the Socialists here last night is directly in line with the prediction that S- Doyle made when he first went on the stump that the "exemption of farm improve ments" simply meant single tax with a sugar coating.' His claim ha snow' been borne out in every particular by the issuance of the new appeal, which was put into 'the malls so late last night that the Socialists didn't expect the matter to become public until so late in the campaign that it would be impossible for the farmers to learn of this new deception. To fully understand the iiew decep tion, one must compare the records. The following is the appeal being made to-the business men, the owners of valuable city properties, as a means of inducing them to support the So cialist amendments:- "If you know that if you paid no 'axes on your stocks of goods you could cut your jelling price by that much and so in crease the number of your customers nd the volume of their purchases and so increase your profit." In the cir cular prepared and d'slributed in the country districts only, and intended only for the farmers, the Nonpartisan league has dealt with the single tax )n an entirely different basis, in at tempting to deceive the farmers as to the actual purposes of the Amend ment. The matter is presented in the form of a question, and answer as fol lows: "But big business say that is single tax. That is all bunk. Stogie tax is a tax on land values alone. This amendment merely makes it pos sible to exempt improvements on land. Railroad right of ways, telephone and telegraph companies, bank stock, credits, incomes and scores of other things will continue to be taxed," bears out statements. "This exposure of (he Socialist double dealing metu od is directly in line with what Mr. Doyle has repeatedly declared from the public platform, tie has set forth at all times that the single tax ws proposed and the appeal no"v ma lcio the city people, in direct contradiction to the appeal made to tho juntry res idents, shows to what length these So cialists will go." said Chairman W. E Byerly of the joint campaign commit tee today. "As I have on several occasions re marked, the Socialist campaign has fallen into desperate straits They are beaten and they know it, and wilf hesitate at nothing to swing the tide that has set in against them, have witnessed here a campaign of deception and misrepresentation with out precedent In the history of the state, not even during the two years that we have been compelled to watch, them." -BUY W.
