SINGLE TAX DEPARTMENT.
THE BOSTON GLOBE FOR THE
SINGLE TAX.

In an editorial article on "Tax Re-
form in Maine," the Boston Globe
makes an admirable criticism on a re-
cent article by Judge Emery in the
Lewiston journal, which, after admit
ting that taxes on personal property
should be abolished unless every dollar
of such property can be reached, mere
ly goes on to recommend more drastic
methods for compelling people to dis
close to the tax collector the character
and extent of their possessions. The
Globe says that such inquisitorial meth
DDS invade personal liberty; that man
has right to his own and right to
keep its amount secret if he chooses;
that people feel this to be SO, and,
though they submit to some invasion OF
their personal liberty, they still feel it
to be an invasion and resent it. 1t
points out as curious inconsistency in
Judge Emery's argument for the taxa
ton of every thing, his declaration that
it is an axiom in the science of taxa
ton that tools and the products of la
Dor should be exempted, since the very
purpose of the kind of tax reform the
Judge is advocating is to compel the
payment of taxes on ''tools and the pro-
ducts of labor" 1t further predicts
that if Maine adopts such measures her
people will find that few new enter
prises will be started and that many ex-
listing establishments will be moved to
states less disposed to put a fine on in
dustry. The Globe thus concludes it's
article:
Z. When will Legislators learn that CAPT
tai is easily movable, and will not stay
where it is severely taxed? The tools
of labor include machinery. Tax ma
chinery heavily and you drive manu-
featuring industry out of the state. Tax
the products of labor and you discour-
age the employment of labor. And
where in the state of Maine or else
where in the wide world will Judge
Emery and the tax commissioners find
any thing to tax that was not produced
by labor. There is only one taxable
thing that labor did not produce and
taxation can not drive away. That is
land. If Judge Emery is sincere in
wishing to exempt the products of la
Dor from taxation there would seem tc
be no recourse but to favor raising the
revenues mainly or wholly by a land tax
With such tax in operation there
would be as much land in Maine as be
fore, and it would be as fertile. Bu'
the houses, barns, cattle and crops O.
the farmer would be exempted; 81
would the machinery Of the manufac
turer, the tools of the laborer, the say
ings of everybody. Capital would flow
in instead of out. Many wise men have
advocated such a change in the ia,
laws, and if Maine should try the ex
pertinent it would be watched with tn
greatest interest in every part of tn
country.

Effect of the Single Tax on the Farmer.


The farmer would be great gamer
by the substitution of asingle tax upon
the value of land for all these taxes,
for 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 I'M
used land of equal quality. The result
would be that speculative values would
be kept down, and that cultivated and
improved farms would have no taxes to
pay until the county, around them had
been well settled. I'm fact, paradoxical
as it may at first seem to them, the eff
feet of putting all taxation upon the
value of land would be to relieve the
harder working formers 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 too 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 oi
machinery tends to large fields, agri'
cultural population will 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 off by the sparseness OF popu
lation from the conveniences, thi
afnusements, the educational facilities
and the social and intellectual opportu
mites that come with the closer con
tact of man with man. He would b.
far better off in all these respects, ant
his labor would be far more productive
if he and those around him held M
more land than they wanted to use
while his children, as they grew up
would neither be SO impelled to seel
the excitement of city nor would the,
be driven so far away to seek farms o
their own. Their means of Twin,
would be in their own hands, and a
hope.
In short, the working farmer is bot
labo~er anG capitalist, as well a
! a land owner, and it is by his labor an
capital that his living is made. Hislos
would be nominal; his gain would b
real and great.
So far from the effect of placing a
taxes upon tn, value of land being
the advantage of the towns at the es
pense Of the agricultural districts, tn

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 York 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 $3.50, 100000 of
it, and only $3.50, 100000 paid taxes; all
the other was sworn off. OF this amount
the banks, which are SO much despised
by our farmers, and estates paid 80 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.
EDWARD II. BAILEY, of Bloomington,
ILL.,, writes: AS an evidence of the val-
ne and importance to the cause in plac-
ing Mr.. Georges works in public libra
ries, have to relate that to-day ! called
at the beautiful public library in this
city, where / learned that Progress
and Poverty was loaned. When en-
tered / asked the attendant, lady
whom l found to be very intelligent, il
she could give me printed list of the
books in the library on political econo-
nv. She said she had no such list, and
inquired il wanted Georges works
"Have you Progress and Poverty?'"
III asked. 'It belongs to our
collection, but it is out now"
SIS it read much?" 20, yes: there
are many applications for it. We very
seldom have calls for any other political
economies" The lady went away and
returning presently dumped four or FIVE
books before me. 'These are all the
books we have on political economy"
she said "and they are seldom called
for. Lawyers, preachers, teachers and
students generally Ask for Progress
and Poverty" The books she brought
me were by Walker, Perry, Sumner and
one or two others.

So far from the effect of placing all
taxes upon th. value of land being to
the advantage of the towns at the ex-
pense of the agricultural districts, the
very reverse OF this is obviously true.
The great increase of land values is in
the cities, and with the present tenden-
cies of growth this must continue to be
, the case.

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 large scale, justice seems to be
the supreme law of the universe. Pro
gress and Poverty.
If man to-day, in any of the states
| of the Union, makes two blades of grass
grow where one grew before, the tax
gatherer comes down and fines him for
it. If he builds house where there
was none before, he has to pay fine
of SO much each year. The bigger the
house he builds the more he has to pay.
The more he produces, the more he
saves, the more be Is supposed TO Be
taxed for it

Yes, love, we must meet them truly,
This know as now / hold
Your soft hand within my own, here
Love, within the sunsets gold.
And you say if sorrow cometh
With my love twill make it light,
Have you counted, have you, darling.
All the bitter cost tonight?
You are now happy maiden,
Without care your life to fret,
Pain will come and disappointment.
Were it best to not forget?
''I'lI not falter, never falter,
While your heart to me is true,
can bear them all my darling,
can bear them all with YOU"
Then let the bells ring merrily
Out their music on the air,
And there shall be a bridal
OF the lovely and the fair.
And the figure in the pathway
OF this life's opening spring,
With Gods help we shall conquer,
And love will still be king.
