The Missouri Farmer is opposed to the adoption of theSingle Tax Amend- ment which is to be voted upon in| November, and which, if adopted, | would throw practically the entire | burden of taxation upon land owners. Never in the history of Missouri has a measure been proposed which so vitally affects the interests of the farm- eras this one and it therefore be- hooves every land owner to inform | himself in this matter as speedily as possible. In the May issue of the Mis- | souri Farmer Geo. B. Ellis, the editor, | takes up the proposed amendment | and shows how unfair its passage | would be to the farmers of this state.

CONVENTION OPENS IN FIRST SKIRMISH AT REPUBiLI - CAN NATIONAL CONVEN- TION TAFT WINS FIGHT NOW ON OVER CHAIRMAN Coliseum Filled to Overflowing—Hun. dreds of Policemen on Duty to Pre-| serve Order—Chairman Ruled All) Motions by Roosevelt Men Out. Convention } Chicago, June 18,! policen at every corner, at} every door and in every aisle the}! doors of the Coliseum were opened, to ticket holders at 10:16 o'clock, The nervous tension due to general expectation of tumultuous scenes “from the drop of the hat” at the opening of the Republican national! ; couvention was went on all The police nervous as/ | It was difficult even for people with | preper tickets, including newspaper men, to get into the hall, Assistant} sergeant-at-arms, doorkeepers, ushers and other subordinate officials were so keenly alive to the possibilities that their hands trembled as they took tickets and ushers showed the spec- tators their seats with furtive glances about them, as if there were some thing explosive just under their feet. Then the Band Struck Up. The band was in its place by 9:30, far up in its aerie above the gallery at the north end of the hall opposite the platform. The first notes of its music echoed among the steel girders in the great hall. By the’ time the doors were opened at 10 o'clock, two hoars before the convention was to come to order, the crowd outside had become pretty dense, but the police kept the people moving. No kind of eloquence, no argument, no plausible | story of imperative business on that | was of any avail, | e of the street, ot, the right kind of a ticket, at | t door, There were Chicago jans who had not been able to polit get tickets, but who though they had a “pull.” No sort of pull—no sort of pull—no sort of local pull, at any rate, was of any use. Precisely at 12:02 o'clock Victor Rosewater, chairman Republican Na- tional Committee, called the conven- tion to order, The national air “The Star Spangled Banner,” played by an immense band, brought the past as semblage to its feet. After an invo- cation by Father J, P. Callahan, Gov- ernor Hadley of Missouri submitted the Roosevelt roll as substitute for that of the national committee. Ex- Governor James Watson of Indiana raised a point of order that the con- vention must organize first. Chair man Rosewater upheld Mr. Watson, the ruling permitting to each side twenty minutes in which to debate the question, Governor Hadley and ex-Governor Fort of New Jersey ar- gued hotly for motion. Their speeches aroused enthusiasm. Sereno B, Payne of New York and Mr. Watson replied and were also cheered. At 12:14 o’clock there was great confusion, Policemen were sent to different delegations to restore order. Silence was brought about at 12:15 o’clock and a flash photograph taken. Chair ruled all out of order and presented the name of Elihu Root for temporary chairman. Henry F. Coch- ems of Wisconsin presented the name of Governor McGovern. John Hedges of New York, easily the most brilliant speaker in the Em- pire state delegation, caught the crowd with a few humorous remarks and seconded the nomination of Root At the first mention of Root's name the Taft people jumped to their feet The entire New York delegation climbed cn their seats and an old fashioned cheering bee was started Wisconsin Back of McGovern. Senator Borah announced an. hour before the convention assembled that Governor McGovern of Wisconsin and not himself would be the Roosevelt | candidate for temporary chairman. That decision was reached at a con- ference which Colonel Roosevelt had with his leaders before they left for the Coliseum, Governor Hadley seconded the nom- ination of McGovern. Governor John- son of California seconded the nomi- nation of McGovern and announced that California would cast twenty-six votes for McGovern. Cheers and hisses greeted this announcement. That Wisconsin would support Gov- ernor McGovern for temporary chair- man was announced by H. F. Cochems. Cochems placed Senator La Follette in nomination four years ago. Cochems’ voice was loud enough to be heard everywhere as he declared that he was an individual delegate from Wisconsin and a progressive who wanted to nominate a: man- whose “republicanism was unquestioned, whose face was toward the light.” “I present the name of the brilliant, impartial, and fearless governor of my state, Francis E. McGovern.” *] It appeared from the outburst of cheers and applause during the after- noon that the public galleries were. nearly soldily pro-Taft. On the floor, Every policeman has to be “shown"— i | to set aside the \W <.

Cochems said he presented name as an indi- vidual La Follette delegate and chal- lenged any Wisconsin delegate to vote for Root.

Kansas City, June 18.The police _board met and discharged from the ‘force four police captains, three lieu- tenants, seven sergeants, three detec- tives, forty-four patrolmen and sev- eral drivers and others, a tctal of seventy. Nearly: all of thuse dis- charged are Democrats. however, it seemed to be pretty even- ly divided. Both Taft and Roosevelt forces apparently had regular cheer leaders distributed among the dele- gates. Governor R. 8. Vessey of South Da- kota seconded McGovern.
