Little Tom's mother, who takes in washing and does house clean- ing by the day, knows better than anybody else that little Tom needs shoes. But the rent is due, there's coal to buy, and food. Fig ure as she may, she fan’t sce how she is going to save enough money to buy shoes for little Tom before the middle of January. It would gladden her heart beyond measure if she could =. that Mr. McDonald, who lives a block down the street, dug out a pair of Johnnie McDonald's old shoes, with per- fectly good uppers, and is having them half-soled at Hank's shop on the corner, with a view to giving hem to little Tom for Christmas. : Pretty white of McDonald, don’t you think? After Christmas little Tom won't need shoes any more. *_e 2 But little Tom, HE doesn’t know that he needs shoes. Little Tom's toes may know it, perhaps, but Tom himself—no. Little Tom DOES know of something that he needs, ‘ . He knows it so well and feels the need so keenly that pates of it crowds out of his mind all such minor consid- jerations as the need of mere shoes. ‘ He feels that need, not alone in his toes, but in his heart as well, He fecls it in every atom of his physical being, and ‘im every throb of his soul. } : In his dreams of nights he sees the thing that will satisfy this need. All glittering with sides of embossed and polished and adorned with tinsel tassels, it looms before him jthe Ultima Thule of his hopes, the Holy Grail, His Heart's ‘Desire. Sometimes he dreams that it is his very own and that the is wearing it strapped about his waist. — Merely to dream of such bliss is something for any 6- lgscar-cld boy! e : p But it will not come true, for Christmas little Tom will his made-over pair of shoes—that will be all. - And arcade vit say how splendid it was of Mr, Me- Donald to give little Tom such a practical Christmas gift. Nobody, not even little Tom’s mother herself, will guess Show gladly little Tom would have walked barefoot in the if only he could have carried with him, strapped at his hip, the 50-cent drum of his dreams!

At last Bill bas got up a campaign issue that Articie No. 1. BY EDMUND NORTON For thirty-two years the term single tax has been gradually work- ing its way into the popular mind—first in San Francisco, then over the United States and finally throughout the world. In Germany, France, Spain, the Northern Scandinavian peninsula, En: id, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States, some kind of legislation is being enacted looking toward the placing of this method of taxation in actual operation. Even in far-off Japan and China the works treating on this subject have been slated, and they have organ- ized efforts to try ita workings. ~ Inquiries into the real meaning of the single tax are now multiplying by the million. What is the single tax? To answer this question in the shortest possthle way in English would be to say: “It is ‘one tax.’ But when you have so said you have only shortened the name by one syllable, 'o answer the question in the longest way would be to take one through a complete course in social science, with all its —osophies, —ologies, —isms and —ists, including the so-called “dismal science” Of political economy, The literature on this subject would fill a fair- sized library, So we will try another course, and just study some things about the single tax. In the first place, the single tax ia the name given to a tax system put before the world by Henry George as a means of destroying pov- erty and removing all the evils that result from poverty. Now, should a man come up to you on the street and tell you that he was going to make you rich by taxing you, there would probably be @ laugh coming, wouldn't there? But that {s about what Henry George did, and the world laughed at him. Then somebody said: “Let us try his suggestion, and see what will happen.” And when they tried just a “teeny-weeny” bit of it in England under the chancellor- cg of David Lioyd George—now sometimes called “George the Sec- Jond,” after Honry George, the “First"”—the lords and titled aristocracy laughing and began to howl. They called the men who pro- these measures all kinds of names. They said they wouldn't stand for it. They would not let such a thing pass their noble house. the people of England determined to try {t some. When they did, house of lords tried to stap it. Then came the battle, with the mult #0-called noblemen lost thetr jobs as obstructionists F legislation for the common people. ‘They had their legislative Mandy—This writer say#" that | their claws clipped: Now they are more modest when Patient--Doctor, what is the best | college life decreases the desire of hey are at least compelied to be civil.|cure for gout? girls to marry, 4 that created this rumpus was the threat that} Doctor—A small income.
