The accident of Fed eral legislation passed in 1918 is likely to close out the large operations of this concern here, is probably all that makes it possible at this time for the Board of Trade to acquire the permanent services of one of one of its former executives. j "Mr. Clerc is perhaps better fitted by personality and special ( experience for the duties of such ' * * the pur policies, commer dal and community legislation. than most of his colleagues on the board.

Mr. Clerc's services were quite valuable on several occasions as representa tive of the Port Commission and the Board of Trade at Washington and in other places where the interests of the city have been debated. "We think therefore that both the Board and Mr. Clerc are to be congratulated. The Board has found a man exceptionally suited to its needs, and Mr. Clerc leaves a business in which he has won a commendable success for another in which he is qualified to do equally good work, in an even wider field."

Taxa* FOR SALE BY ALL DEALERS. r RMMU »51 ■ e 4* A PROVIDENCE OF NATURE The cause we so loyally love is a device of nature, A Provi dence of Nature, A Natural Rev enue, and is neither a tax nor is it in the form of a tax, as is shown by Eben Stillman Doubleday in The Review of Reviews for the months of July and August. He thinks that such a name as Single Tax has much impeded our progress. He well says that the misuse of words and phrases befogs the minds of men, and inevitably leads to misconceptions Ih'at make most of the troubles in the world of mankind. This Natural Revenue is not acquired by criminal deeds, nor by the methods of a criminal. Right needs no hiding place. Wrong is not the right name Because of age and usage. If the empty symbol has dis placed the principle it is sup posed to stand for—to abandon the symbol and elevate the principle—would be the right course for us to pursue, would it not? Tax and taxation are the most justly d pisrd words in our language, and the name has been most unfortunate in impeding the progress of our great reform. No man i» modern times has served our cause as Henry George did, but Father Nulty of Ireland who un beknown to Henry George res urected the same great econom ical truths only two years later gave his little book of 61 pages a better and more fascinating title, "Back To The Land." He did not cover the ground so thoroughly and well, nor warn us as did Henry George of the Impending Ruin that would re sult in an endeavor to uphold private property in land. You see that conditions as depicted by Henry George are daily growing more exasperating the selling of men into slavery as was done in Boston a few days since, and ten thousand othev atroclties too numerous to men tion are of daily occurrence. If we want to enforce a protective tariff we must soon as Henry George suggests endeavor to roof our country in. —Josie Thorpe Price. Inwood, Oct. 30th.
