HERRON`S TALK He Addresses a Large Au- dience in the Metropoli- tan Hall. EPIGRAMMATIC UTTERANCES. Teaching Self-Interest Will Always Cause Men to War Against Each Other. Metropolitan Temple was crowded to the doors last night with an audience that had assembled to hear Professor George D. Herron lecture on "The Fullness of These Tim«.s." Among those who occupied seats on the platform were the Eev. Mr. McLane, Rev. Mr. Warren, Deacon Hatch, J. M. Rey- nolds, Charlotte Perkins Stetson, C. C. Terrill and wife, Rev. Dr. Scott and wife, I). Gilbert Dexter, George T. Gaden and wife, Mrs. Theall, Rev. J. C. Smith, Rev. (I. D. B. Stewart, Rev. E. J. Dupuy, Rev. F. Flawith, Rev. P. H. Greiff, Rev. A. R. Sheriff, Rev. D. Hanson Irwin, Mrs. Rana of lowa, who founded the chair of applied Christianity for Professor Herron in lowa College, and Rev. J. Cumming Smith. The Rev. J. E. Scott presided, and when he appeared on the platform accompanied by Professor Herron there was long and hearty appiause from all parts of the inbuse. Rev. J. dimming Smith opened the proceedings with prayer. Rev. Mr. Scott congratulated the audi- ence upon its bravery tor daring to face so dangerous an element as those who believe in socialism are called. This was received with deafening ap- plause. The speaker said Professor Her- ron had been called a dangerous man, and I think he is dangerous to those who by his teachings will be affected in their self-in- terest. I at first thought Professor Her- ron was a dangerous man, but I walked out to the park with him and returned safe as to purse and body. Professor Herron was introduced and it was some time before the applause sub- bided and he could proceed. He said : 1 shall not attempt to give anything of what might be dignified by the name* of lecture, but will talk of the times and of the restlessness that fills the world. We hear it said that what the world needs is not new ideas, but new methods, new plans and new practices. The history of the world is a few ideas. The evolution idea is true in hu- man life and has been the development of a greater idea. The first idea that we developed was power : men awoke to a consciousness that they could get power. There was another idea, that was slaves. Power needed something besides itself, and it asserted itself on slaves. It is not enough to have power, but it is must be used inright- eousness. Th« HeDrews thought it was not proper to use power unless it was used rightly. Then there was an idea of redemption. The world was under sin. The idea of redemption was everywhere. Out of the idea of righteous- nest; grew the idea of redemption, which had its incarnation in what we know and what we believe in. The incarnation was Jesus of Naz- are tli. After this idea of redemption, which has been affecting the world for ever so many years, there began to grow another idea: an idea that something should be dons to secure freedom. That something was human liberty. It orig- inated in the Protestant reformation. This idea permeated every one, and it was that no one Lad power over another. There could be no liberty unless there was freedom, perfect free- dom. Of recent years there has been another Idea that has had" possession of the human race, and that was individual interest. Kedemption tended to individualize man, and so did lib- erty; but that was not enough. Liberty has been mistakeu for lisence on the part of men, to pursue happiness irre- spective of the happiness of others. Liberty is not the pursuit ot individual happiness. All over the world there is manufacturing itself a new idea, and that is that liberty is not the end of individual happiness, but that it is the hap- piness of the masses. Libertymeans, not for one man to work for self-interest, but to be the servant of his fellow man; another kind of liberty is anarchy. Man should not be independent of his fellow man, but all should be fitted and joined in a perfect and redeemed humanity, creating the cathe- dral in which God worship.? with man. We have a theory that self-interest is the law of life. Individuality lihs invented the law of seli-interest which is the continuity of the Greek philosophy. Political economy is based on self-interest, and that has also gone into the religious doctrines. The speaker said that the men who de- clared that they could love God but could not love their fellow men, were liars, for he believed that the best that had been given to this world had been borne along on the tide of the lives of those who-loved others better than they loved themselves. He said that John Stuart Mill had de- clared that history would show that men would be actuated by motives that would accrue, not to themselves as individuals, but to all men collectively. He spoke at length upon what men call self-interest and denounced it as the power of the devil over man, and argued that that power should be destroyed. He said that a great deal had been said of anarchy, but that we are in anarchy now, yet are trying to get out of it. The teaching that self-interest is the law of life is heathenish, and just so long as that idea is kept up so long will men be at war with each other and be at the mercy of the greed of each other. "We lie about each other even for re- ligion's sake," was the next epigram. A woman's voice in the audience shouted "Amen" heartily, and a laugh followed. The only way in which we can come together is by an absorption of all ina common life, to which all must contribute and from which all may partake. Another theory is that the end of govern- ment is to secure individual rights, but the more we get of our rights the less of them we teem to Lave. This idea of individual rights has culminated in property rights. Property should always be considered as subordinate to human life, but rights must stand on some- thing, ana instead of standing on righteous- ness they have come to stand on property. The more property a man has the larger is the scope of his rights. The alchemy of individualism has brought it about that in recent years all legislation has been made in the interests of property and not to benefit human life. I am not against property, but wish to save it. Property was made for man and not man for property. But law9 have been twisted to suit property-owners. Take, for example, the reep.nt decision of the Su- preme Court of Illinois on a law prohibiting the employment of women and children for more than eight hours a day. The decision has been ridiculed all over England and tn the United States, and rightly, too. It declared the law unconstitutional, because itinterfered with the liberty of the women and children. The grade crossings in Chicago in the last twenty years have killed more individuals than died insome of the great wars. This is because property is more highly valued than human life. Our hallfe of legisla"- tion are filled with the paid lobbyists of the great corporations, sent there presumably by the people, and our Legislatures have become, 10 the shame of all of us be itsaid, political stock exchanges, where the well-being of the people is marketed to the highest corporate Didders for private profit. He who controls property already holds the life of the people ia his grusp far more effectu- ally than >my man in political office. If the centralization of wealth goes on in the same ratio for the next ten years that it has for the last decade we shall have no more retail deal- ers and no more independent wage-earners. Property already controls the judiciary. I do not mean by that that the judges are bribed, though Ido say that Legislatures are simply markets where men are bought and sold. And I do not think that your California Legislature Is altogether exempt. Property then controls the people and not the people property. And even supposing that those wfio control property were good men we should have built up the most colossal and most dangerous absolutism the world has ever known. Competition has been put forth as the law of human progress. But competition is not law. Itis lawlessness. Carried out to its lc..ical end it is the absolute absence of law. The great revolution which is now taking place in all na- tions—l mean the social change and not the ordinary acceptance of the word revolution— is the forming of a new theory of life. The law of competition is a law on a purely animal basis. But man is not merely animal. He is a social, an intellectual, a Christian being. But there can be no complete Christianity while there is any essence of competition left in the world. Inany competitive system the lowest qualities of human nature triumph. Cunning and shrewdness is developed at the expense of all that is good in man. I say this because I stand before you as a witness for the crucified Nazarene, who evolved what I con- sider a perfect plan of life. The true theory of human life lies in a condition by which each man may have the privilege of serving his fel- lows. Any sysfm of competition which you may evolve is a direct contradiction of every principle of Christianity. We have to-day the greatest opportunities. We are on the threshold of the culmination of the divinest of ideas— the idea of brotherhood. Ithas come to stay, to reconstruct the institu- tions of the world, to create a new civilization. It will not back down at the biddingof either politicians or monopolists or theologians. We are at the perfecting period of the world. I have spoken of the idea of brotherhood. Youmay call itsocialism if you like, but it is permeating the nations and is reconstructing the whole machinery of the world. If this be true, and it is true whether you believe itor not, then we must proceed to organize the social system on that idea. Christianity has now come face to face with its opportunity to organize and possess the actual lifeof the world. We agree that each one individually is his brother's keeper. Then we cannot avoid the logic of applying this re- sponsibility collectively to the State. Thus the State shoula see to it that each brother has work whereby he may eat. A golden age is truly coming, though there may be no gold in it. I believe it because I believe in God, be- cause I believe in man as the son of God, and because I believe in Jesus Christ. The lecturer was frequently interrupted during the evening by applause, laughter and expressions of approval. At the conclusion of his lecture a collec- tion was taken up to defray the expenses of his visit to this coast, and cards were distributed for the signature of those who desired to study further into his plan of applied Christianity. HEBRON'S TEACHINGS EEVIEWED. Bey. 0. 0. Brown's Address to Hit Congre- gation Widely Distributed. The address of the Rev. 0. C. Brown, in which he reviewed the teachings of Pro- fessor Herron, and asked, "Ought the church of Christ to join the propaganda of socialism?" and which was published in the Call, was so much appreciatad by the congregation that an edition of 2000 was ordered printed, but this was so quickly exhausted that a second edition of 8000 was printed. A number of these are being mailed to the pastors of the prominent churches of tiie country. Each copy of the address is accompanied by a circular that reads as follows: San Francisco, May 8, 1895. The trustees of the First Congregational Church of San Francisco believe that the time has fully come when some voice should be raised against the socialistic propaganda now actively at work among the Christian pulpits and churches of America. No more striking proof could be given than the fact that num- bers of evangelical pastors welcome the un- bridled socialism of Professor Herron and hall him as a prophet inspired of God. Our City and State have suffered quite enough from such agitation in the past. To have such views proclaimed in the name of religion seems to us quite unendurable. Such words as many of Professor Herron'g ought to stir the indignation of every loyal citizen. Among the letters received by Dr. Brown from all parts of this coast commending his position one from a prominent legal gentleman, at one time United States .District Attorney, who heard Professor Herron's lectures, closes thus: "If any number of persons should or- ganize to carry out Professor Herron's revolu- tionary teachings, and any forcible act were to be committed by any person to that end, such an act would be au overt act of treason to the United States Government, whose benign protection he enjoys and whose institutions he traduces. You are to be congratulated and thanked for your effort." Dr. Brown's address was delivered before an audience which rilled our large auditorium to the doors, and which included many of the leading citizens of San Francisco. The pro- longed applause in which the audience mani- tested it? approval is significant. The laity of our churches do not approve of socialism and willnot follow its leadership. Hitherto, Pro- fessor Herron has gone from association to club and from place to place, frequently leaving be- hind him a number, who have been influenced, to propagate his views. We believe that Dr. Brown has done wisely in calling the attention of our churches throughout the land to this tendency, and squarely forcing the issue as to whether the churches are to furnish the plat- form for destructive socialism.

The President of the Single Tax Society Discusses His Theory. At the Single Tax bociety Sunday even- ing President James S. Reynolds, on tak- ing the chair called attention to an inter- view with Dr. Herron, published in the Call on the single tax and kindred sub- jects. Not wishing, he said, to harshly criticize Dr. Herron's views, he thought it important to show that Dr. Herron should do some clear thinking before he could become a useful exponent or advo- cate of the single tax. Mr. Reynolds quoted from the interview : " 'There should be no taxation of any kind, because, take it any way you like, taxation is a burden on the producer.' "If it was meant by this that taxation laid on wealth producers in any form, he quite agreed with the doctor, but if it was meant to include the taking of ground rent alone for public revenue (the single tax) in the category of burdensome taxes, then was he wholly wrong. That he did mean that was evident by what he added as follows : " 'Besides there is no absolute necessity for levying either a direct or an indirect tax. I will presently explain how to avoid the evil,' and his explanation was: " 'That the Government should earn its own living through the operation of the railways and other public properties now privately owned. Likewise the city gov- ernments might earn their own living by the operation of municipal properties.' "How," said the chairman, "can the gov- ernments earn their own living except by charging freights and fares and tolls of the people who use them, just as private owners now do. The cost of maintaining and operating those public utilities must be met inany case, and if Government is to 'make a living at the business,' a charge sufficient to pay the cost of the pub- lic service must be added. Whether that would amount to less or more than private owners now take, any one can figure out for himself, but that it would be a tax on industry as much as the taxes now laid are, is too obvious even to need mention, yet Dr. Herron seems not to have noticed it. "His next proposition was: 'The land ought to be held by the State in sacred trust for the people, never to be surrend- ered,' yet a little further on he proposes that it 'be sold in small and conditional holdings or rented in terms of years or in perpetuity.' How land can be held in trust for the whole people and at the same time be sold to some of them is something the doctor should explain. We have been doing that right along and that is what is the matter. " 'I believe,' says the doctor, 'in the sin- gle tax as the best system of taxation, but I don't think it will accomplish all the social reforms which people commonly think it will.' "The misfortune of Dr. Herron," said Mr. Reynolds, "is not to realize what the single tax is. The quotations show that he has never been on speaking terms with it. He thinks it is only a better way of taxing people, instead of Deing, as itis, a method of abolishing all taxes and taking for public revenue only what the public alone, and not land-owners, create, namely the rent. " "He makes another mistake, which is common, that in some way the State act- ing for the people must control and regu- late the ownership and possession of the land, whereas, in fact, the only thing that concerns us is the rent. Let whoever will 'own' if he wants to as much or little land as he will, but let him pay the rent of it,ifithas a rental value, into the public revenue. The question, "How to build up the State," was discussed pro and con by the audience, the prevailing sentiment being that the way proposed by the Half-million Club, a scheme to get Eastern people out here to buy up the land, was the way how not to do it.

PROF. HERRON`S TALKHe Addresses a Large Au-

dience in the Metropoli-tan Hall.

EPIGRAMMATIC UTTERANCES.

Teaching Self-Interest Will Always

Cause Men to War Against

Each Other.

Metropolitan Temple was crowded to thedoors last night with an audience that hadassembled to hear Professor George D.Herron lecture on "The Fullness of TheseTim«.s."

Among those who occupied seats on theplatform were the Eev. Mr.McLane, Rev.Mr. Warren, Deacon Hatch, J. M. Rey-nolds, Charlotte Perkins Stetson, C. C.Terrill and wife, Rev. Dr. Scott and wife,I). Gilbert Dexter, George T. Gaden andwife, Mrs. Theall, Rev. J. C. Smith, Rev.(I. D. B. Stewart, Rev. E. J. Dupuy, Rev.F. Flawith, Rev. P. H. Greiff, Rev. A.R.Sheriff, Rev. D.Hanson Irwin, Mrs. Ranaof lowa, who founded the chair of appliedChristianity for Professor Herron inlowaCollege, and Rev. J. Cumming Smith.

The Rev. J. E. Scott presided, and whenhe appeared on the platform accompaniedby Professor Herron there was long andhearty appiause from allparts of the inbuse.

Rev. J. dimming Smith opened theproceedings with prayer.

Rev. Mr. Scott congratulated the audi-ence upon its bravery tor daring to face sodangerous an element as those who believeinsocialism are called.

This was received with deafening ap-plause. The speaker said Professor Her-ron had been called a dangerous man, andIthink he is dangerous to those who byhisteachings will be affected in their self-in-terest. Iat first thought Professor Her-ron was a dangerous man, but Iwalkedout to the park withhim and returned safeas to purse and body.

Professor Herron was introduced and itwas some time before the applause sub-bided and he could proceed. He said:

1shall not attempt to give anything of whatmightbe dignified by the name* of lecture, butwilltalk of the times and of the restlessnessthat fills the world.

We hear itsaid that what the world needs isnot new ideas, but new methods, new plansand new practices. The history of the world isa few ideas. The evolution idea is true in hu-man life and has been the development of agreater idea. The first idea that we developedwas power:men awoke to a consciousness thatthey could get power.

There was another idea, that was slaves.Power needed something besides itself, and itasserted itself on slaves. It is not enough tohave power, but it is must be used inright-eousness. Th« HeDrews thought it was notproper to use power unless it was used rightly.Then there was an idea of redemption. Theworld was under sin. The idea of redemptionwas everywhere. Out of the idea of righteous-nest; grew the idea of redemption, which hadits incarnation in what we know and what webelieve in. The incarnation was Jesus of Naz-are tli.

After this idea of redemption, which has beenaffecting the world for ever so many years,there began to grow another idea: an idea thatsomething should be dons to secure freedom.That something was human liberty. It orig-inated in the Protestant reformation. This ideapermeated every one, and it was that no oneLad power over another. There could be noliberty unless there was freedom, perfect free-dom. Of recent years there has been anotherIdea that has had" possession of the human race,and that was individual interest. Kedemptiontended to individualize man, and so did lib-erty; but that was not enough.

Liberty has been mistakeu for lisence on

the part of men, to pursue happiness irre-spective of the happiness of others. Liberty isnot the pursuit ot individual happiness. Allover the world there is manufacturing itself anew idea, and that is that liberty is not the endof individual happiness, but that itis the hap-piness of the masses.

Libertymeans, not for one man to work forself-interest, but to be the servant of his fellowman;another kind of liberty is anarchy. Manshould not be independent of his fellow man,but all should be fitted and joined ina perfectand redeemed humanity, creating the cathe-dralin which God worship.? withman.

We have a theory that self-interest is the lawoflife. Individuality lihs invented the law ofseli-interest which is the continuity of theGreek philosophy. Political economy is basedon self-interest, and that has also gone intothe religious doctrines.

The speaker said that the men who de-clared that they could love God but couldnot love their fellow men, were liars, forhe believed that the best that had beengiven to this world had been borne alongon the tide of the lives of those who-lovedothers better than they loved themselves.

He said that John Stuart Millhad de-clared that history would show that menwould be actuated by motives that wouldaccrue, not to themselves as individuals,but to allmen collectively.

He spoke at length upon what men callself-interest and denounced itas the powerof the devil over man, and argued thatthat power should be destroyed. He saidthat a great deal had been said of anarchy,but that we are in anarchy now, yet aretrying to get out of it. The teaching thatself-interest is the law of lifeis heathenish,and just so long as that idea iskept up solong will men be at war with each otherand be at the mercy of the greed of eachother.

"We lie about each other even forre-ligion's sake," was the next epigram. Awoman's voice in the audience shouted"Amen" heartily, and a laugh followed.

The only way in which wecan come togetheris by an absorption of all ina common life,towhich allmust contribute and from which allmay partake.

Another theory is that the end of govern-ment is to secure individual rights, but themore we get ofour rights the less of them weteem to Lave. This idea of individual rightshas culminated in property rights. Propertyshould always be considered as subordinate tohuman life,but rights must stand on some-thing,ana instead of standing on righteous-ness they have come tostand on property. Themore property a man has the larger is thescope of his rights.

The alchemy of individualism has broughtit about that in recent years all legislationhas been made in the interests of property andnot to benefit human life. Iam not againstproperty, but wish to save it. Property wasmade for man and not man forproperty. Butlaw9have been twisted to suitproperty-owners.Take, forexample, the reep.nt decision of theSu-preme Court of Illinois on a law prohibiting theemployment of women and children for morethan eight hours a day. The decision has beenridiculed all over England and tn the UnitedStates, and rightly, too. It declared the lawunconstitutional, because itinterfered with theliberty of the women and children. The gradecrossings in Chicago in the last twenty yearshave killedmore individuals than died insomeof the great wars.

This is because property is more highlyvalued than human life. Our hallfe of legisla"-tion are filled with the paid lobbyists of thegreat corporations, sent there presumably bythe people, and our Legislatures have become,10 the shame of all of us be itsaid, politicalstock exchanges, where the well-being of thepeople is marketed to the highest corporateDidders for private profit.

He who controls property already holds thelife of the people iahis grusp far more effectu-ally than >my man in political office. If thecentralization of wealth goes on in the sameratio for the next ten years that it has for thelast decade we shall have no more retail deal-ers and no more independent wage-earners.Property already controls the judiciary. Idonot mean by that that the judges are bribed,though Ido say that Legislatures are simplymarkets where men are bought and sold. AndIdo not think that your California LegislatureIs altogether exempt.

Property then controls the people and notthe people property. And even supposing thatthose wfiocontrol property were good men weshould have built up the most colossal andmost dangerous absolutism the world has everknown.

Competition has been put forth as the law ofhuman progress. But competition is not law.Itis lawlessness. Carried out to its lc..ical endit is the absolute absence of law. The greatrevolution which isnow taking place inallna-tions—l mean the social change and not the

ordinary acceptance of the wordrevolution— isthe forming ofa new theory of life. The law ofcompetition is a law on a purely animal basis.But man is not merely animal. He is a social,an intellectual, a Christian being.

But there can be no complete Christianitywhile there is any essence of competition leftinthe world. Inany competitive system thelowest qualities of human nature triumph.Cunning and shrewdness is developed at theexpense of allthat is good inman. Isay thisbecause Istand before you as a witness for thecrucified Nazarene, who evolved what Icon-sider a perfect plan of life. The true theory ofhuman life lies ina condition by which eachman may have the privilege of serving his fel-lows. Any sysfm of competition whichyou may evolve is a direct contradiction ofevery principle of Christianity.

We have to-day the greatest opportunities.We are on the threshold of the culmination ofthe divinest of ideas— the idea of brotherhood.Ithas come to stay, to reconstruct the institu-

tions of the world, tocreate a new civilization.Itwill notback down at the biddingof eitherpoliticians or monopolists or theologians.

We are at the perfecting period of the world.Ihave spoken of the idea of brotherhood.

Youmay call itsocialism if you like,but it ispermeating the nations and is reconstructingthe whole machinery of the world. If this betrue, and it is true whether you believe itornot, then we must proceed to organize thesocial system on that idea.

Christianity has now come face to face withits opportunity to organize and possess theactual lifeof the world. We agree that eachone individuallyis his brother's keeper. Thenwe cannot avoid the logic ofapplying this re-sponsibility collectively to the State. Thus theState shoula see to it that each brother haswork whereby he may eat. A golden age istrulycoming, though there may be no gold init. Ibelieve itbecause Ibelieve in God, be-cause Ibelieve in man as the son of God, andbecause Ibelieve inJesus Christ.

The lecturer was frequently interrupted

during the evening by applause, laughterand expressions of approval.

At the conclusion of his lecture a collec-tion was taken up to defray the expensesof his visit to this coast, and cards weredistributed for the signature of those whodesired to study further into his plan ofapplied Christianity.

HEBRON'S TEACHINGS EEVIEWED.

Bey. 0. 0. Brown's Address to Hit Congre-gation Widely Distributed.

The address of the Rev. 0. C. Brown, inwhich he reviewed the teachings of Pro-fessor Herron, and asked, "Ought thechurch of Christ to join the propaganda ofsocialism?" and which was published in

the Call, was so much appreciatad by thecongregation that an edition of 2000 wasordered printed, but this was so quicklyexhausted that a second edition of 8000was printed. A number of these are beingmailed to the pastors of the prominentchurches of tiie country.

Each copy of the address is accompaniedby a circular that reads as follows:

San Francisco, May 8,1895.The trustees of the First Congregational

Church of San Francisco believe that the timehas fully come when some voice should beraised against the socialistic propaganda nowactively at work among the Christian pulpitsand churches of America. No more strikingproof could be given than the fact that num-bers of evangelical pastors welcome the un-bridled socialism of Professor Herron and hallhim as a prophet inspired ofGod.

Our City and State have suffered quiteenough from such agitation inthe past. To

have such views proclaimed in the name ofreligion seems to us quite unendurable. Suchwords as many of Professor Herron'g ought tostir the indignation of every loyalcitizen.

Among the letters received by Dr. Brownfromall parts of this coast commending hisposition one from a prominent legal gentleman,at one time United States .District Attorney,who heard Professor Herron's lectures, closesthus: "If any number of persons should or-ganize to carry out Professor Herron's revolu-tionary teachings, and any forcible act wereto be committed by any person to that end,such an act would be au overt act of treason tothe United States Government, whose benignprotection he enjoys and whose institutions hetraduces. You are to be congratulated andthanked foryour effort."

Dr.Brown's address was delivered before anaudience which rilled our large auditorium tothe doors, and which included many of theleading citizens of San Francisco. The pro-longed applause inwhich the audience mani-

tested it? approval is significant. The laityofour churches do not approve of socialism andwillnot follow its leadership. Hitherto, Pro-fessor Herron has gone from association to cluband from place to place, frequently leaving be-hind him a number, who have been influenced,to propagate his views. We believe that Dr.Brown has done wisely incalling the attentionof our churches throughout the land to thistendency, and squarely forcing the issue as towhether the churches are to furnish the plat-form for destructive socialism.

DE. HERBON OEITIOIZED.The President of the Single Tax Society

Discusses His Theory.

Atthe Single Tax bociety Sunday even-ing President James S. Reynolds, on tak-

ing the chair called attention to an inter-view with Dr. Herron, published in theCall on the single tax and kindred sub-jects. Not wishing, he said, to harshlycriticize Dr. Herron's views, he thoughtit important to show that Dr. Herronshould do some clear thinking before hecould become a useful exponent or advo-cate of the single tax. Mr. Reynoldsquoted from the interview:"

'There should be no taxation of anykind, because, take it any way you like,taxation is a burden on the producer.'

"Ifit was meant by this that taxationlaid on wealth producers inany form, hequite agreed with the doctor, but ifitwasmeant to include the taking of ground rentalone for public revenue (the single tax) inthe category of burdensome taxes, thenwas he wholly wrong. That he did meanthat was evident by what he added asfollows:"

'Besides there is no absolute necessityfor levying either a direct or an indirecttax. Iwillpresently explain how toavoidthe evil,' and his explanation was:"

'That the Government should earn itsown living through the operation of therailways and other public properties nowprivately owned. Likewise the city gov-ernments might earn their own livingbythe operation of municipal properties.'

"How,"said the chairman, "can the gov-ernments earn their own living except bycharging freights and fares and tolls of thepeople who use them, just as privateowners now do. The cost of maintainingand operating those public utilities mustbe met inany case, and if Government isto 'make a living at the business,' acharge sufficient to pay the cost of the pub-lic service must be added. Whether thatwould amount to less ormore than privateowners now take, any one can figure outforhimself, but that it would be a tax onindustry as much as the taxes now laidare, is too obvious even to need mention,yet Dr. Herron seems not to have noticedit.

"His next proposition was: 'The landought to be held by the State in sacredtrust for the people, never to be surrend-ered,' yet a little further on he proposesthat it 'be sold in small and conditionalholdings or rented in terms of years or inperpetuity.' How land can be held intrust for the whole people and at the sametime be sold to some of them is somethingthe doctor should explain. We have beendoing that right along and that is what isthe matter."

'Ibelieve,' says the doctor, 'in the sin-gle tax as the best system of taxation, butIdon't think it will accomplish allthesocial reforms which people commonlythink itwill.'

"The misfortune of Dr. Herron," saidMr. Reynolds, "is not to realize what thesingle tax is. The quotations show that hehas never been on speaking terms withit. He thinks it is only a better way oftaxing people, instead of Deing, as itis,amethod of abolishing all taxes and takingfor public revenue only what the publicalone, and not land-owners, create, namelythe rent.

""He makes another mistake, which is

common, that in some way the State act-ing for the people must control and regu-late the ownership and possession of theland, whereas, in fact, the only thing thatconcerns us is the rent. Let whoever will'own' if he wants to as much or littleland as he will,but let him pay the rent ofit,ifithas a rental value, into the publicrevenue.

The question, "How to build up theState," was discussed pro and con by theaudience, the prevailing sentiment beingthat the way proposed by the Half-millionClub, a scheme to get Eastern people outhere to buy up the land, was the way hownot todo it.
