Effect Of the Single Tax on the Farmer

The farmer would be great gamer
by the substitution of single tax upon
che value Of land for all these taxes,
3or the taxation of land values would
fall with greatest weight not upon the
agricultural districts, where land values
are comparatively small, but upon the
towns and cities where land values are
high; whereas taxes upon personal
property and improvements fall as
heavily in the country as in the city.
And in sparsely settled districts there
would be hardly any taxes at all for
the farmer to pay. For taxes being
levied upon the value of the bare land,
would fall as heavily upon unimproved
as upon improved land Acre for acre,
the improved and cultivated farm, with
its buildings, fences, orchard, crops and
stock could be taxed no more than un-
used land of equal quality. The result
would be that speculative values would
be kept down, and that cultivated and
pay until the county around them had
been well settled. IN fact, paradoxical
as It may at first seem to them, the ef-
feet of putting all taxation upon the
value of land would be to relieve the
harder working farmers of all taxation.
But the grain of the working farmer
can only be seen when the effect upon
the distribution Of population is con-
sidered The destruction of specula-
tive land values would tend to diffuse
population where it is too dense and to
concentrate it where it is zoo sparse;
to substitute for the tenement
house, homes surrounded BY
gardens, and to fully set
tie agricultural districts before
people were driven far from neighbors
to look for land The people of the
cities would thus get more of the pure
air and sunshine of the country, the
people of the country more of the econ
omies and social life of the city. If, as
is doubtless the case, the application Of
machinery tends to large fields, agri-
cultural population viii assume the
primitive form and cluster in villages.
The life of the average farmer is now
unnecessarily dreary. He is not only
compelled to work early and late, but
he is cut OF by the sparseness of popu-
lation from the conveniences, the
amusements, the educational facilities,
and the social and intellectual opportu-
mites that come with the closer con-
tact of man with man. He would be
far better OF in all these respects, and
his labor would be far more productive,
If he and those around him held no
more land than they wanted to use,
while his children, as they grew up,
would neither be so impelled to seek
the excitement of city nor would they
be driven 30 far away to seek farms Of
their own. Their means of living
would be in their own hands, and at
home.
In short, the working farmer is both
labo~er and capitalist as well as
land owner. and it is by his labor and
capital that his living is made His loss
would be nominal; his gain would be
real and great.
So far from the effect Of placing all
taxes upon tina value of land being to
the advantage of the towns at the ex-
pense Of the agricultural districts, the

About Personal Property Taxation.

A bill passed the Albany Legislature
last Wednesday to tax all inheritances
above $1,000. In the debate ON the bill
the whole question of personal property
taxation came up; and, among other
statements made, was one by Senator
Fassett, that Commissioner Coleman
had testified that it was impossible to
find more than 10 per cent. of the per-
sonal property in New Y ork city when
the time came to value it for taxation.
The estimated value of the personal
property in New York city
was $4,000. 900; yet last year
the commissioner had, only been
able to find $1,6SO, 900, 900 of
it, and only $3.50, 600, 600 paid taxes; all
the other was sworn of. OF this amount
the banks which are so much despised
by our farmers, and estates paid 30 per
cent. Senator Fasset had come to the
conclusion that not per cent. of the
personal property in this state was
reached by taxation, and it could not be
reached.

The poverty which in the midst OF
abundance, pinches and embrutes men.
and all the manifold evils which flow
from it, spring from denial of Justice.
In permitting the nonopolization of the
natural opportunities which nature
freely offers to all, we have ignored the
fundamental law of justice-for SO far
as we can see, when we view things
upon urge scale, justice seems to be-
the supreme law Of the universe.
