A Case Of Unearned increment.

NEW LONDON, Ct, Jan. 22.-At the
outbreak of the civil war there was To-
Gated in Augusta, Ga, q business man
named Daniel Hand. He was the son
of a New England farmer and had been
settled in Augusta for many years Not
sympathizing with the Southern cause,
he found it profitable and advisable to
sell his stock of goods, real estate and
other property and return to his old
home in Guilford, Ct. But there was
one piece of fproperty-a tract of Georgia
pine land-which he did not sell, for the
reason that he looked on it as prac-
tically unstable and valueless. This
pine land he left in the care of his part
ner, Mr.. Williams.
AS the war progressed Mr.. Hand was
in his quiet home in the little New Eng
land village, away from the sounds OF
strife and scenes of bloodshed, and took
no concern for the Georgia pine lands.
With the return of peace came renewed
prosperity and an influx of Northern
capital to the South. The value Of
land in Georgia began to rise, and pine
land proved no exception to the rule.
Still Mr.. Hand was careless and ignor-
ant of what was going on. He had
made plenty of money to live on and
did not have to trouble himself about
his pine lands in the South.
If my memory serves me, it was some
time in 1885, twenty-five years or 80
after he had left his Georgia store,
that Mr.. Hand received letter from his
farmer partner, Mr.. Williams, stating
that he had succeeded in finding pur-
chaser for that tract of pine land that
| they had considered valueless. Mr..
| Williams also stated that as sale had
| been effected, and that on account Of
such sale Mr.. Hand had standing to his
credit in bank and subject to his order
the nice little sum OF seven hundred and
fifty thousand dollars.
This appears to me to be a pretty
clear case of the pocketing of an un-
earned increment AS far as Mr.. Hand
personally was concerned that tract OF
land had practically ceased to exist.
! His whole interest in it had gone out of
his mind entirely.
| And vet while he was at his home in
Guilford, Ct, passing his old age peace.
fully and happily, utterly oblivious Of
the whole matter, $3.50, 900 were accu-
mulating for his special benefit.
To MIR. Hands credit it ought to be
said-which. however, in no way breaks
the force of the story-that he has in
vested the whole sum and placed it in
| the hands of trustees to be used as a
perpetual fund for to defray the edu-
cational expenses of worthy colored
| students in the Southern States; but
this only shows how much the commun
ity could have for public use and bene-
fits if no individual were allowed to
pocket what he did not create.-W. c.

But all other monopolies are h1s1eS
In extent as compared with the monoY
oily of land. And the value Of land g.
pressing q monopoly, pure and samDae,
is in every respect fitted for taxstt0n.
That is to say, while the value Of
railroad or telegraph line, the price Of
gas or Of patent medicine, may exc
press the price Of monopoly. II also ex-
presses the exertion Of labor and capd-
tai, but the value Of land, or econoanao
rent, as we have seen, II in no part
made up from these factors, and e1-
presses nothing bat the advanta9e Of
appropriation. Taxes levied upDn th0
value Of land can not check produetion
in the slightest degree, until they ex-
coed rent, or the value Of land taken an
nually, for unlike taxes upoa eoanmodi-
ties, or exchange, or capital, Or any q
the tools or processes Of produc-
tion, they do not bear upon pro-
duction. The value Of land
does not express the reward Of Produc-
ton, as does the value Of crops, Of est
tie, of buildings, or any Of the ttsnGD
which axe styled personal property and
improvements. It expresses the e1-
change value of monopoly. It i MT in
any case the creation Of the individual
who owns the land; It is created by tie
growth of tho community. Hence tho
community can take it all without In
any way lessening the incentive to ion
provement or in the slightest degree
lessening the production OF wealth.
Taxes may be imposed upon the value
of land until all rent is taken by the
State, without reducing the wages Of
labor or the reward of capital one iofa;
without increasing the price of . single
commodity, or making production In
any way more difficult.
But more than this. Taxes On the
value of land not only do not check pro.
duction as do most other taxes. but they
tend to increase production, by Destroy
ing speculative rent. How speculative
rent checks production may be seen NOV
only in the valuable land withheld
from use, but in tho paroxysms of in
dustrial depressions, which, originating
in the speculative advance in land
values, propagate themselves over the
whole civilized world everywhere
paralyzing industry, and causing more
waste and probably more suffering than
would take rent for public uses would
to anything near its rental value, no ono
could afford to hold land that he is not
using, and, consequently, land not in
use would be thrown open to those who
would use it. Settlement would bo
closer, and, consequently, labor and
capital would be able to produce much
more with the same exertion. The dog
in the manger, who, in this country es-
pecially, so wastes productive power
would be checked off.-Progress and
Poverty,
