Saved a Girl and Himself Also.

A remarkable display of courage and
quick thinking was given at Westbury,
L. l., Thursday, by Robert Burgess. A
young woman fell from the railroad sta
ton in front of an express train that was
about 200 yards distant. Burgess quick
ly rolled the imperiled woman off the
tracks under the platform, leaving him
self with insufficient time to get up and
out of the way. He realized his danger
instantly, and throwing himself full
length between the tracks the train
passed without harrning him in the
least.-Exchange.

the house or building of aAy
kind Ia concerned, tho farmer
would gain largely by concen-
trating taxes upon that and exempting
all buildings. But he holds, in addition
to the land upon which his house stands,
a number of acres, which he uses for
farming purposes; and he assumes that
these will be heavily taxed under .
system of taxation upon land values
alone. and that thus a larger proportion
of the burden will be thrown upon him.
This is an entire mistake. When build
ings are exempt from taxation, all other
improvements on the land must also I've
exempted; and the result of this would
be to assess improved farm lands at no
higher value than perfectly wild, uncul-
tivated land, in the same immediate
vicinity. All fences, all growing crops,
all improvements of every kind would
be left out of account; and his land
would be assessed only at the value
which it would bring if it had been just
swept clean by n prairie fire. Very
little consideration is required to enable
any one to see that, under such rule
of assessment, the taxes levied upon
farms would he much less, in proportion
to those levied upon town lots, than
they are to-day, and that such a change
in the methods of assessment and tax
alton would resilttin lesscning the bur
den of farms and increasing that of the
large towns. ...

Taxing Vacant Lots in Burlington.
Iowa.

Frank S. Churchill, Of Burlington
Iowa, writes: Our morning paper in
reporting the proceedings of the city
council at their regular meeting, con
tains the following:
A resolution was introduced which
will warm the hearts of the single tax
advocates, and shows the effect of the
published arguments of the local adher
ents of the theory. 1t was introduced by
A iderman Mercer, and reads as follows
Resolved, That the assessor of the
city of burlington, Iowa, be and is here
by directed and instructed to mark his
books before presented to the city coun
Gil, so as to indicate which lots have inn
provemcnts and which are vacant, so
that the council. when acting as q
board of equalization, may act intelli-
gently and place upon vacant lots held
for speculative purpose their share of
municipal taxation" The ordinance
was adopted without dissent
Our single tax men feel that they
have not la boxed in vain. and we will
now do our best to drive home the
wedge and aid the city council in plac-
ing upon vacant lots their share of mu-
nicipal taxation"

SINGLE TAX DEPARTMENT.
SINGLE TAX AND SOCIALISM.

Commenting on Mr.. Shearman's article
on s'The Coming Millionaire" the Gal
weston Daily News thinks that the in
evitable corruption snd inehicienct chat
would attend an attempt &c ra1sA gu
public revenues by a single tax on in
comes would cause general disgust.
After that, If the people still adhered to
direct taxation, the News says they
would necessarily be confronted with
the alternative plan of a single tax on
land values" We can not quite make
out whether or not the News thinks
that such contamination would be
alarming to Mr.. Shearman. It apparently
would alarm our Galveston cOntem-
porary, for it thus continues:
''And here, if the tax problem is TO
wax to this shape and comp1exio the
final struggle must come between the
party Of individualism and the party OF
socialism over the Issue of taxation.
The individualists will Insist that tax
alton on any kind of value shall be for
no other purpose than to supply the
fiscal needs of government. limited to
its primary and necessary frlnctions of
police authority. Tic socfs lists will in
sist onusangsthe single landtax if that
is adopted. FOR the purpose OF an all
round social readjustment- They will
propose 20 tax awsy for the benefit of
the community all value accruing from
social wants, social congregations and
Industrial concentrations"
If the News will familiarize itself
with the theory and programme of the
movement it will dismiss all
such hrs The single takers are in
Idividuelists, not socialists They are
utterly opposed to the assumption by
government of the conduct of private
business. Most of them, however. pro-
test against the ccontinusnce of the
practice; that transfers to private indi-
viduals and corporations the transac-
ton of public business and the perform
ance Of public functions, and they de-
mand that the government shall resume
its proper functions and cease to farm
out the taxing and other powers to pri-
.vate Individuals to be used for their
personal advantage and profit On this
general principle they are all agreed,
though there may be, differences as to
detail For instance. they are all
agreed that the maintenance of public
highways is function of the state, but
many insist that highways thus main
tanned shall be operated by private en-
terprise, while some. mistakenly, we
think regarding this as impracticable,
insist that the state shall not only own
the road bed. but that it shall operate
its, own rolling stock on railways. All
are. however, agreed that the principle
involved lis that private parties shall
not own and monopolize public high
ways. II the Galveston News calls this
socialism it ought to insist on the sale
of the Mississippi and other rivers to
private parties. who would doubtless
pay the federal government an enor-
nous sum for the privilege of exacting
tribute from all craft sailing on their
rivers.-The Standard. Il = \

New York Board Of Trade on Per.
sonat Property Tax.

The tide of opposition to the taxation
Of personal property rises steadily
every day. Senator Linson, OF Kings
ston, has introduced a bill in the New
York legislature which will levy a tax
on all personal property without allow
ing any deduction for ''just debts ow-
ing" as now provided by law. The
New York city board of trade and
transportation is bitterly opposed to it.
and has sent a circular to 1877 CONNER
cial organizations throughout the state
protesting against it. Among other
things, the circular sets forth the fol-
lowing arguments against the passage
of the Linson bill: 4
If. for instance, Messrs. A. Il. 4 Co.
have a stock of $500, 600 worth of goods
in store, and they owe thereon bills
payable to the amount of $50, 000 and
on open account another 800, 600, their
actual ownership in such goods is but
$3.50, 600, on which they now pay at, say
per cent. tax of 5000 If Mr.. Lin
sons bill becomes law the tax will DO
$4,000. The true title of this bill
should be AN Act to Discourage Com
merce and Manufactures in the State of
New York" Many of our large manu-
facturcrs now find it to their advantage
to have their factories in New Jersey.
Pass this law and the number will be
largely increased. There are many
classes of goods handled in this city
that pay profit OF only fraction of !
per cent. to the merchant. If. tEcn,
such goods are taxed per cent. and up
ward, as the rate may bc, it would to-
tally destroy the business. Any bust
ness done would be by sample alone
and the goods themselves would be
stored in New Jersey OF other States
and shipped direct without coming into
New York. The loss of employment to
our people in handling the goods would
be enormous, and that portion of our
population depending on such employ.
ment would. with the goods, also DO
transferred to New Jersey.

The Law of Rent.

This il the law of rent: AS individ-
GALS come together in communities,
and society grows, inteSrating more
and more its individual members, and
making general interests and general
conditions of more and more relative
importance. there arises. over and above
the value which individuals can create
for themselves, a value which is created
by the community fas whole, and
which, attaching to land, becomes
tangible, definite and capable of COM
putation and appropriation, AS society
grows. SO grows this value, which
springs from and represents in tangible
form what society as whole contri-
butes to production, as distinguished
from what is contributed by individual
exertion. BY virtue of natural law in
those aspects which it is the purpose of
the science we call political economy to
discover, as it is the purpose of the
sciences which we call chemistry and
astronomy to cover other aspects of
natural laval social advance neces-
sarily contributes to the increase of
this common value; to the growth of
this common fund
Here is a provision made by natural
law for the increasing needs of social
growth; here is an adaptation of nature
by virtue of which the natural progress
of society is progress toward equality,
not toward inequality: centripetal
force tending to unity, growing out of
and ever balancing a centrifugal force
tending to diversity. Here is a fund
belonging to society as a whole from
which, without the degradation of aims,
sprivate or public, provision can be made
for the weak, the helpless, the aged;
from which provision can be made for
the common wants of all as n matter of
common right to each, and by the utili-
cation of which society, as it advances,
may pass, by natural methods and easy
stages from rude association for pur-
poses of defense and police, into a CO.
operative association, in which COM
bined power guided by combined intel
ligence can give to each more than his
own exertions multiplied many fold
could produce.
BY making land private property. by
permitting individuals to appropriate
this fund which nature plainly intend
ed for the use of all, we throw the chill
dren's bread to the dogs of greed and
lust, we produce n primary inequality
which gives rise in every direction to
other tendencies to inequality: and from
this perversion of the good gifts of the
Creator, from this ignoring and defying
of his social laws there arise in the
very heart of our civilization those hor-
rible and monstrous things that betoken
social putrefaction.

The Indians and the Land,

With the Indians, land was the prop
crty of all. It was one Of the original
elementary gifts of the Creator to man.
and hence the birth-right of every child
born. 1t was grouped by them with
air. sunshine, wind and rain. 1t was q
wealth, a right, a property that no
power could ALLEVIATE from them. The
earth under their feet on which they
were born, in which were tho graves Of
their sires and in which their dust
would finally repose, was Gods gift to
them and loved with passionate dcvo-
ton. Even war could not obliteratc
this primal right No victorious tribe
ever took the land from the conquered
band. They might not take what the
Great Spirit had bestowed. Sell a
country" Indignantly exclaimed Te-
cumseh, when protesting against the
sale of land to the whites: 'Why not
sell the air, the clouds, the sea as well
as the earth? Did not the Great Spirit
make them for all his chiidrcn?"-Mr.
Murra.;, in New York World.

Why tho Farmer Should Favor the
Single Tax.

The farmer is apt to cry out against
what he calls the injustice of exempt
ing the magnificent buildings. some
times erected in cities, from all taxa
ton, forgetting that such uui1dings al
ways stand upon the most expensive
land, while his own farm house and
barns stand upon land of utterly insignifi-
cant value. In adjusting taxation, the
only question of Importance is as to
the relative proportion which will be
borne by different classes; and it is of
no Importance whatever that any single
piece of property should pay much or
little, provided all other properties of
the same kind pay in exact proportion
with it. A farm house, costing S1,5oo
to bnild. viii stand upon piece Of land
swhichs including the surrounding gar
den, on an ample scale. would not be
worth more than SIS. But an average
city house, costing $40. 900 to build, viii
stand upon lot worth at least IS, 600;
whites Warehouse. costing $4,000 to
