"To Tax Effort Adds to Effort"
tFrom the standard J

from the Standard)
This, SO far as we know, is an entire
~ new phrase which aptly describes
the effect of levying taxes ON the prod
usts of industry. It occurs in the lead
ing editorial article in the Toledo Sum
day Journal, which is q remarkably
cleas presentation of the single tax is
sue. The Journal says that the inter-
est In the subject is SO general that .
statement of the objects and probable
effects of the single tax is desirable.
1t therefore says:
At the onset it should be stated that
it is not proposed to levy tax on land.
but on land values; aradicaIly different
thing. To tax land equally as regards
area, would not tend to equally distrib-
ute the burden of taxation, for in that
event the arid acres of the allrali plains
would be taxed equally with the most
valuable spot in the heart of New
York, where the land could be covered
with layer of twenty-dollar gold
pieces and still surpass the gold in
value.
Two propositions ARE laid down In
evolving this theory, each of which ap-
peals to the thinking mind as just and
fair; the first, that there is not now alb
solute private ownership Of land. the
government 1 &, the people, holding
title for it's use. as witness the law Of
eminent domain. which permits the

we have ali passed on, and that it Is ii
ways at hand for purposes Of equabl'
taxation.
1t will be readily admitted that to t.,
effort adds to effort. The tax on pAiI
of shoes adds to the cost of the shoes
makes them more difacult to obtain
and lessons the use Of shoes in exact
proportion to such added cost. Thus 4
shoes cost two dollars per pair, manJ
can wear them who would be unable X
do so if the cost were ten dollars PEI

effort is required. The tax levied

product of labor, thus adds to the cost
of that which such labor produces,
while the tax on the value of land adds
nothing to the land, nor takes aught
from it There will be precisely as
much land as now, whether it is taxed
on its value one or one hundred per
cent
The fairness Of taxing the value Of
land appears plain. Land, remote from
population, has little, II any. value.
The dense forest may contain that
which will, when population has i'm
creased, become of value, but If 30, It
becomes valuable solely because Of pop
ulation, and in no sense as the result
OF individual effort. The corner of
Summit and Madison would be worth no
more than the intersection of two
roads or streets In the remote suburbs,
except for the population centered in
Toledo. Every added family, every
new house constructed. every building
erected or street paved. adds to the
general value of land within the city's
borders. When there were i've thou

worth proportionately less than when

The total fire loss for 1890 is estimated
at sos, 900, 900, as compared with $144-
600, 600 in 1889 500 600 600 in 1888,
$3.50, O,00),0 900 i'll 1887, and S115, 900, 600 in
1886. This matter is of more nportance
than is generally believed. To the
country at large there is no compensa-
ton for the loss by fire; insurance dis
tributes this tax, but does not in the
least make it good. On tie contrary, to
the actual loss by fire must be added tie
cost of distributions; or in other words,
the expense of all the insurance COM
panies doing business in the country; u
large sum in itself To this, again, must
be added the cost of all the fire depart
ments and the cost of all the devices for
avoiding fires and for making houses
freproof. The COST of the fire depart
ment of Louisville is now more than
$150,000, from which statement one
may get some idea of the total expense,
baring that there are 20 cities in
America larger than Louisville. The
actual loss by fire was for last year
about as large as the money appro.
priated for the payment of pensions. A

any other people. The loss, as we have
said, is total; and it is good report, a
healthy and hopeful sign, when the in

Central American Earthquakes.

A peculiar thing about living in Cen.
trail America is the ease with which you
become accustomed to the earthquakes.
They do not come without giving due
notice. You are sitting on piazza of
hot afternoon chatting with your friends
when suddenly the sky seems to grow
hazy, the crows stop cawing, and the
buzzards quit fighting in the street.
There is a general rush, and, though you
may not know what is the matter, you
can not help feeling uneasy. The old
natives. say, "We are going to have a
little shake" and then the house begins
to rock, the tumblers fall off the table,
you feel deadly sick at the stomach, and
the thing is over; the sky clears, the
crows begin their noisy screams, and the
buzzards resume their quarrel over the
street offal, There is something mex
pressively terrifying, however, about
the trembling of the earth; the slightest
oscillation will awaken the population
of the whole town and rouse drunkard
out of the deepest stupor; but unless
some considerable damage is done every
body goes to sleep again as matter Of
course.-LInterview with Traveller.
