You Will Pay More
Under A Single Tax
The single tax, which_ appears as proposition 20 on the
November ballot, was designed
by a few theoretical men who
believed that there should be
no private ownership of land.
In other words they saw no
reason why people should own
their own homes.
CONFISCATION
To prevent anyone from pri vately owning land these single
taxers devised a way to take
it. They would double or treble
present land taxes. This is
their plan. Six times they tried
in one form or another to
foster their scheme on the
of California. Six times
an, ‘This time they try a dif: c
California wouldn’t be California under a single tax!
When it is realized that a single tax is not a substitute
for any tax but is a substitute for Democratic government, you will realize why you will pay more under its
terms than you do now under the sales tax. Under the
sales tax, you and I share alike, according to our ability
to pay, in the costs of government. We share equally
in its benefits too. That is Democracy.
have seen through theSALES TAX KITE
They believe the sales tax
to be sufficiently ware to
make us want to repeal it. So
they propose this—
Repeal the sales tax and
substitute for it the single tax
on land alone. It is plain to
see that by this subterfuge
they believe they can dupe
Californians into voting away
their civil rights, their rights
to own property.
Other dangerous parts of the
single tax proposition are
these strong possibilities that
insufficient money could be
raised by the plan to—

‘noon 20! J

would make the Great War seem

nightmare, a war now, would’ mean
“a world dripping with blood.” Yes,
indeed, life is sweet and peace is
worth every effort and sacrifice.
THOSE OF YOU who missed the
Horse Show at our first County Fair
certainly passed up a bet! Having
had a very British up-bringing which
{means a fair amount of time spent
in the saddle, we have a shy idea we
know good horse flesh when we see
it (Although given a fiery sted at
this writing, we’d no doubt do a
pretty persistent White Knight!
However, time was, when—. But to
get back to our muttons, we were
thrilled (by the horses) and chilled

layers of fat to the very marrow ‘of
our bones. In the first place the ring

We would like to extend three rousing cheers to the officers, directors,
judges and managers for a job magnificently done, Admittedly, it is a
bit late in the season in these hyar
hills for a out door show, but no
doubt that is something that will be
remedied next year, and judging by
this year’s effort, next year’s ought
to be a lally-pa-looser. We got off to
a grand start anyway, because one
of the first people we ran. into was
Sonny Moore, and he told us, that
his lovely trick horse, Candy, stands
a splendid chance of recovering from
his recent. tragic injury, and that
news -made us feel swell. Then we
prowled about and had a good looksee. The exhibits in the Legion Hall
were most interesting and varied.
We were particularly impressed with
the poultry show, . (the ‘pheasants

no porkers! Then came the horses!
Oh gosh, oh gosh, oh gosh, those
horses! The five gaited saddle horses, and three gaited combination
events were superb. The polo ponies
and their demonstrations were a real
thrill, we roared with laughter at
the musical chairs and ohed and
ahed at the draft horse four-in-hand
event. The jumpers were grand, althought we had the impression that
had it not been so bitterly cold there
would have been less faults made.
The children’s event, Nevada County Trail horses (a FINE display with
about fifteen entries) and the stock
horses (in which the beautiful pala‘mino O’Shaughnessy took the honors) were grand entertainment. The
Maple stables showed some gorgeous
animals, and Miss Barbara Worth
who rode most of her own entries
displayed magnificent horsemanship
and took plues in jumping, polo pory
and stock events. We cannot praise
our first Nevada. County Fair too
highly, it is something of which we
should be justly proud.
AND SO with this we say, yoicks
and tally-ho everybody!
HELENE EBELTOFT
DAVIS
(By ROY GRIFFITHS DEETER)
The sun was shining brightly in
Nevada City the afternoon we went
over to see Helene Ebeltoft Davis
and the sky was as blue as her amazingly blue eyes. Tall, slender, with
beautiful iron gray hair, this very
charming person is as gracious as
her delightful book, “The Year is
a Round Thing’ (Harpers) that is
one of the outstanding features of
Children’s Book Week.
Mrs Davis is a Norwegian, born in
Trdémso (the town of which she
writes so entertainingly) and here
she spent all her girlhood days. Later, in 1916, she came to New York
on a visit.) It was there she met her
husband, H. P. Davis, of the very
literary Davis famiy and author of.
(among many other things) the
much discussed ‘book on Haiti:
“Black Democracy.”
We asked her about this meeting.
“Oh,”’ she said, her blue eyes sparkling, ‘I was working in an office and
I got a cramp. So I chinned myself
over the transom and there he was!”
H. P. must have been tremendously
impressed by the girl that gazed
down at him from over a transom,

ried almost at once, and with equal
promptitude left for Haiti.
There they spent the next twelve
years. ‘Did you enjoy it?” we asked.
“Oh, it was wonderful. It is the
most interesting pla¢e imaginable.
I loved it.’’ We had the fleeting impression that she was sgh about having to return to the U.
We asked her then, ane she came
to write a book about Tromso when
she was so much in love with Haiti. “It was Genevieve Parkhurst who
put.the idea into my head. She was
asking me about our life in Tromso
and the three months of darkness
and all that. Later she asked me why
I did not write about it. I told her
I simply could not write and she
wanted to know who told me so. I
explained that Hal had dinned it into my head that to write a book is
‘agony, and cannot be done by scribbling.’ Besides even if I do speak a
number of languages I did not feel
I had the command of English necessary. Genevieve laughed and said:
‘All the more reason that you try.’
So I did, and there your are!”
Chatting about her linguistical
ability we learned also that the only

Creole language of’ Haiti, made at

Among our gifts which were reby Helene Davis.
We asked her if she had done any
“seribbling’’, aS she calls it, prior to
her book, and found that she has
written articles for the Kansas City
Star Magazine Section, one of particular interest being ‘‘My Visit to a
Lost Tribe of Haitians.” At the present time she is busy on a book
about “how the other half lives in
Haiti.”
(Mrs. Davis’ ready wit and
suspicion of an accent are really fascinating. She is full of the most
amusing little anecdotes, one in particular we think you will like. It
seems that upon her return to New
York from Haiti she attended a big
cocktail party given by Katy Seabrook. There, midst a crowd of
strangers, she met a very large and
cheerful man, whom, upon finding
out that she was a Norweigian, started doing rapid sketches on odd bits
of paper and asking her if she recognized the places. This game went
on for quite some time until finally
Mrs. Davis became most curious as
to the identinty of this rapid sketch
artist who was so familiar with her
own country. “It would be nies,” she
told him, “if you would sign one of
those charming sketches so I might
know-who you are.” “Don’t you know
who I am?” he asked slightly amazed. “I have not the remotest idea,”’
she replied. “Whereupon, the busy
artist signed one.of the sketches and
presented it to her. The signature
was that of Hendrick. Van Loon.
Since then they have become excellent friends and whenever he writes
to her the envelopes are always decorated with charming little sketches.

Yes, indeed, it takes charm to
create charm and thus, Helene Ebeltoft Davis and her book are one.
