In 1858 he was once more defeated, this time by Douglas. In the face of all this, he eventually became one of the country's great men. How would you stand in the face of such set backs?

TAXATION TAKES PROPERTY That any state should confiscate all farm lands and make tenants of the occupants would seem unbelievable.

But the process is under way at the present rate of progress will be accomplished within the life time of the present generation. Dr. R. T. Ely, of University of Wisconsin, shows, by official tax records of states, and also figures compiled by bureau of economics cf the Department of Agriculture th'at the states will soon absorb by taxation all in come from farm lands.

It is a principle of law that to take the income from property is practically the same thing as to take the property itself. Since 1920, land values have decreased at an average of 20 per cent. Taxes, on the other hand, have shown the opposite tendency. A statistical chart of taxes and farm income would show the line for taxes steadily curving upward in the past eight years, and now near to the line of farm income. When it crosses that line the work of confiscation is complete.
