BUXTON East Sound Commissioner, Ist Dist. JOHN BUCKLEY Argyle Commissioner, 2d Dist. PETER BOSTIAN East Sound THAI "ENTERING WEDGE." For several weeks The Islander has been publishing, among its legal notices, the proposed amendments to the state constitution which are to be voted upon at the general election this fall. Every yoter should read them carefully. The dangerous element in the first is the proposition to confer upon all municipal corporations in the state the right to "fix and determine by majority vote ot the qualified elec tors voting thereon the class or classes of property upon which taxes for mu uicipal purposes shall be levied, which tax shall be uniform as to persons and class. This is the much talked of "entering wedge", of the single tax idea, and the danger which lurks in it can be more clearly comprehended in the light of the supreme court's decision that for purposes of taxation every school dis trict is a municipal corportion. It is obvious, therefore, that the fusionists propose to iuvest every city, town and school district with the power of local option in matters of taxation, and the extent to which exemptions would be carried under such authority can be readily imagined. The fusionists have been growing bolder and more insatiate in their demands in this direction since their first legislature played out its comedy of errors and its members rode back to their homes on free passes "un wept, unhouored and unhung." This is quite conclusively shown by the de mand on the subject of taxation made by the fusion joint conventions at Ellensburg, at the dictation of the single tax leaders of the state, , and which finds expression in the follow ing plank of the utionist platform: "We demand the •nbmission to the people oi the state of Washington of a constitutional amendment that will permit exemptions from taxation of personal property and improve ments in and upon land." This county was represented by sev eral delegates in that convention, and the present chairman of the fusionisl county committee* Mr. Wold, was s member of the committee '■-. which framed the platform. In a recent in terview with Chairman McLaughlin of the futionist state committee; thai gentleman is quoted as saying: "I am a single-taxer, and in common witl >■ erery other single-taxer in the state, I favor th< passage of a law exempting personal property and improvements on land, as mentioned in th< plank in the Ellensburg platform. We single axers don't expect to change the present sys tern at one fell swoop. What we hope to ac complish is to have our.system, that of th< •ingle tax, worked into the laws of our stab slowly . and by degrees. ilf the amendmen which we demand in the Ellensburg platform i adopted and laws are passed carrying it int effect It may be regarded as a step in the direc «on of single tax. • • • ThVsingl Jaxtneaas the taking of rents: from" real prop *rty, according to its rental \ value, which is cr« ated by the commiwity in which the property I located and never by the individual owner, an. Civing them to the community, as against th : U faking away from any one \ that which \he &r< vJ ates himself by his brain or hand. We reali* |hat to do this at out fell swoop would amoun !to confiKaaon;<i It is our purpose, however t »}owly and in a series of years gradually destro the speculative value of land, substituting one system for the other. Now there is no good reason why every farmer in San Juan county who believes in the wisdom of such an ad mitted policy of gradual "confiscation" should not vote the fusionist ticket this fall. It is the proper thing for every man to do who believes that the entire burden of taxation should be laid not upon land areas but upon land values and that all forms of personal property should be exempt, including notes, bonds, mortgages, railroad, bank and other corporation stocks and securities; all sorts of merchandise for sale; the rolling stock of railroads; all machine ry, labor saving devices and mechani cal appliances of mills, factories and workshops; the great herds of cattle, sheep and horses belonging to million aire stockmen, as well as the horse and cow of the poor man—all these things and many more to be free from tax, with a view to making the burden upon land so heavy as to amount to gradual confiscation and ultimate pub lic ownership. There can be no ques tion as to the real intent of this insidi ous proposition. So preposterous and revolutionary is it that even the lead ing organs of the fusionists, the Seattle Times and Spokane Spoksman-Beview, realize the danger which it threatens and are urging their readers to vote against the proposed amendment, which, radical as it is, proposes onlj' a moderate change as compared with the demand of the state platfojm of the fusionists adopted by the triple alliance at Ellensburg. CONCERN ING WOOL. The Ogden (Utah) "Standard" in a recent issue earnestly advises the Sil ver Republicans of the West not to lose sight of the important relation which the Protective principle bears to the welfare and prosperitity of the masses. The "Standard," an ardent supporter of free coinage, is not blind to the beneficent effects produced by the Dingley tariff. After reciting the statistics showing that under this law our imports of wool fell from 400,000, ---000 pounds in 1897 to 135,000,000 pounds in 1898, and calling attention to the fact that, allowing for wool re-exported and still remaining in bond with duties unpaid, the consumption of foreign wool has been reduced to less than 73,000,000 pounds, the "Standard" clinches the argument thus: "The change in conditions, therefore, from a Democratic to a Republican tariff, results in a benefit to the Ameri can wool-growing farmer of 327,000,000 pounds of wool in one year. That is to say that under Republican Protection to American farm products the Ameri can farmers have been furnished a market for 327,000,000 pounds of wool that they would not have had under the Democratic policy." The "Standard" might have gone a step farther and added that as the result of the Protective policy the pur chasing power of every pound of wool grown by American farmers is nearly what it was under the vicious free wool of the Wilson law. "We point with pride," says the Chicago Inter Ocean, "to our fulfill ment of the promise of Tariff reform. With a return of Protection there has come a change in the balance of trade. Under Cleveland we were shipping millions of gold to Europe in exchange for goods bought from foreigners. Un der McKinley Europe, is shipping mil lions of gold to us in exchange for our products and manufactures. We point with pride to the revival of trade, the increased demand for labor, the ad vance of wages, the improved condi tion of the agricultural class that we predicted as a result of return to Re publican policies. The coming winter will make no call for free soup houses for the hundreds of thousands of un employed." It is estimated that the amount paid out in wages for 1898 will be in round numbers $380,000,000 more than the total paid out in 1805 under the Wil son law.
