MAY 28, 1903. THE NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT 15 9 f ' r i mi i HENRY GEORGE EDITION lThatSomof tbe Vapers and Correspen dcata Think About the BJg Special ' r; JKoml)ii A. W. Sprague, Blue Mound, 111.: I tighly-appreciate your issue of tho 14th, and accept and indorse the plea for the single tax as set forth in the article by Speed Mosby. Charles C. McGowan, Youngstown, O.: Speed the day when all papers will publish Henry George numbers, and I congratulate you on the good work that you are doing. J. S. Corbin, Gouvefneur, N. Y.: Find check for $2.50 enclosed, for which send the Henry George Edition to the list of 250 names enclosed. C. J. Jackson, Nolanvllle, Tex.: I have just looked over the Henry George Edition and hastily send you one dollar for 100 copies for distri bution. It is so grand I wish every body could read it and learn the rights of man. J. J. Points, Omaha: I congratulate you on your Henry George Edition. For other writers on economics I have respect; but for Henry George, a ven eration unbounded. Other systems command my assent, but the single tax has, for twenty years, had all my enthusiasm, Find herein order for $2 to help with expenses of edition and send fifty copies in bulk to me for distribution. Please allow me also the privilege of criticising your "criti cisms" when they appear. (It's a go. De France.) E. B. Lamb, Grundy Center, la.: Tne Henry George copy is a very val uable paper. The truths set forth in it if exemplified by society would revolutionize it and prepare the w6rld for Christ's reign on earth. Laurie J. Quinby, Omaha: I believe that all single taxers feel about as I do in regard to the fine tone of the Henry George Edition. It will prove not only of much benefit to the single tax cause, but it will reflect very cred itably upon The Independent itself. I am also very glad to know that you intend to have a regular, single tax page.' I believe it will do much to force the next national convention of the people's party (for mind you there will be such a, convention) to take a decided position upon this question. We have been ambiguous enough in the past upon this question. We can not fool the people of our faith with platitudes upon the land question as we have done in the past. James Bartley, Amsterdam, N. Y.: The Henry. George Edition is a dandy; will surely awaken thought in every direction and be productive of much good. I hope, too, that it will prove a boom for The Independent That Wakefield is a very thoughtful fel low of evidently wide comprehension and clear mind. Then his thoughts flow like a limpid stream clear and strong. Louis F. Post's and some of the others' are great. I'm sure you have among those reserved some of the very best articles received. (Mr. Wakefield is an old-timer; ran The Antimonopolist at Topeka twenty years ago. De France.) Charles J. Finger, literary editor of the Press, San Angelo, Tex.: Accept my congratulations upon the very fine Henry George number which I read last night Francis B. Livesey, Sykesville, Md.: I have read your single tax issue of May 14. Go ahead and make Nebras ka a single tax state at once. I see you have many papers favoring it As scholars, gentlemen and propagand ists, the taxers are far ahead of the socialists. Let's try a state for each of the reforms. Nothing could be fairer than that. "Billy Radcliffe, S. T.," Street Talker for Ohio Single Tax league, loungstown, O., orders 250 copies of the Henry George Edition and says: "I am on the road and will put them out in the crowds I talk to on the street Am selling medicine and song books and make a single tax talk in every town I visit" 4 " A BIG SUCCESS. The Independent of Lincoln asked the leading single tax writers and-advocates all over the world to contri bute to a Henry George Edition of that paper. No sooner did the invi . tation go out than the returns in th3 form of written articles began to flow in upon the Independent, increasing in volume until the accumulating flood of manuscripts ' and books fairly swamped the editorial force of The IUI UIIL E WOT not 0.; If you have never worn "La Grecque" Corsets place your faith in our judgment, take our advice and try them.

Eager, proved themselves equal to the occasion. They waded through the flood of clear water and brought out an edition of the Ne braska Independent of which all pop ulists may be proud. If the populists of Nebraska will now fpllow the lead of their paper and give due proml nence to economic discussion along the. lines of natural economy they will soon regain their lost prestige, not only in Nebraska, but all over the United States. Whenever we leave God's laws written in all nature and especially in man's social nature and adopt theories of our cwn devising, we are sure to miss the road to true re form. The Henry George Edition of The Independent is a milestone on the road towards true economy as under stood by men who think and write from principles of natural truth. W M. Martin, In Economy, Solon, la. The Henry George Edition of the Nebraska Independent is worth its weight in gold many times over to those who like to read good articles on economic questions. The article on "Taxing Land Values," by Louis F. Post, is amazingly interesting and in structive. The Independent is fur nishing this edition for $1 per hun dred, or a cent a piece. Send for some of them, you will never regret it G. J. Richmond, in Minden (Neb.) Courier. The edition of the Nebraska Inde pendent of last week was devoted to Henry George's single tax. The advo cates of that theory furnished the copy, and the edition is truly a re markable one, covering as it does ev ery phase of the question by a score or more of able' writers. It is a paper to study and to lay aside for future reference by all who desire informa tion on this subject James It. Cary, in Neligh (Neb.) Yeoman. The best contribution to the litera ture and propaganda of single tax we" have seen for years is the Henry George Edition of The Independent or. Lincoln, Neb., dated May 14. It is a 24-page issue, and covers every phase of single tax doctrine, besides giving forward to date single tax news. To all persons Interested In the question of taxation, whether as taxpayers, stu dents, lawmakers or executive officers, as well as single taxers we most heart ily commend this issue, and suggest that they order a few copies for the use of themselves and friends. J. C. Buchanan in Pittsburg (Kas.) Kansan. The Independent at Lincoln ha3 done a great service to public men by publishing a Henry George Edition on May 14. It is full of the doctrines of Henry George, and people can get the truth there without the discolor ation that goes with the distortioas of political opponents. The Independent simply let the advocates of that sys tem tell their own story. Prof. . C, Vincent in Central Farmer, Omaha. The Lincoln (Neb.) Independent, easily in the front rank of the pop ulist papers of the country, has made of its issue for May 14 a single tax edition. Henry George, jr., writes the biography of his father, and among the special contributors are Bolton Hall, A. C. Allison, J. B. Sharpe, Ralph Hoyt, L. P... Custer, J. H. Sheets, John Filmer, James Bartley, Joseph Leggett, J. H. Dillard, Ernest C. H. Crosby, E. T. Weeks, C. F. Nesbit, C. B. Fillebrown, John B. Howarth, F. W. Maguire, Lawson Purdy, George B.
