Taxing Unseen Coal.

The Supreme Court of Illinois has
just sustained the right of James ID.
Baker. collector of st. Clair County, to
coEect from the Consolidated Coal Com.
pany, of st. Louis, a tax on an assess
ment made by Assessor Stookey, of St.
Clair township, on coal owned by the
company, under the surface of that
township. The present case involves
the trifiing sum of fifty dollars, but the
effect of the decision is of great i'm
portance to Illinois, and, says dis.
patch from st. Louis, lit will bring in.
to the treasury thousands of dollars
each year in taxes from the vast coal
fields that have never been taxed. and
relieve the farmer from paying such
heavy taxes on the surface, where there
are coal fields beneath and will estab-
lish precedent for assessing coal
lands all over the State of Illinois. :"
Just so. and if our Illinois friends i'm
prove their opportunity, The change in
taxation that will follow will teach the
farmers who have ignorantly clamored
against the taxation of land values
that the farmers not only do not own
all the land, but that the land they do
own is the least valuable and will be
but lightly taxed under system that
makes land values the sole basis of tax

The Single Tax Will Do II.

The mayor of Detroit, Pingree, is a
Republican who is far in advance of his
party, as will be seen from the follow
ing excerpt from his message to the
common council, delivered January 10:
The subject of the taxation of unim-
proved land, or land held for specula-
tive purposes, is receiving increased at
tention in all parts of the country. I'm
til within two years the common prac-
tice of assessors every where has been
to discriminate in t,vor of such land
owners on the theory that property pro-
ducing no immediate income should be
lightly taxed. HE is getting nothing
from it, p" they say, ''ai, d he can not be
expected to pay the full rate" There
is no legal warrant for any such dis
elimination in Detroit. If any dis
elimination were to be authorized by
law it should be in favor of the one
who builds upon his land and thus adds
to the prosperity of the city. 1t is false
to presume that because the idle land
is producing no immediate revenue for
the owner, that therefore he is losing
any thing. Every new public improves
ment, all increase of population, and
all building and enterprise of our citi-
zens, add to the value of the unim-
proved land
1t reads pretty straight, doesn't it3

Who Own River Bottoms,

Judge Young. of the Fourth Judicial
Circuit of Florida, has decided that the
State can not demand royalty of one
dollar per ton on phosphate taken from
the beds of the rivers of Florida. The
Ocala Union commenting on the decis-
ion assumes that it may be warranted
by precedent, but it declares that the
people ultimately will repeal laws that
deny them their just rights. 1t thus
continues:
1t is the people after all that control.
They endure much. but when they break
through the conservative restraints"
kings tremble on their thrones. and
judges perform their duty. The process
through which it is done are slow, but
the rights of the masses are being ex-
tended and the few restricted. The
same processes that gave all the lands of
England to so few of her population are
at work in this country, and if not
checked will produce the same results,
and they are not likely to be checked
by Judge Youngs decision.
These phosphates have been forming
in the soil and river bottoms in all the
ages of the past, and in the formation of
which we do not suppose tina. Mr.. AL
bertus Vogt, Mr.. George w. Scott and a
few others were alone in the thoughts
of the Divine mind, but we are orthodox
or unorthodox enough to believe that
the Divine worker intended these form
atoms and deposits for the common en-
joyment of all mankind.
Owing to the Legislative action and
judicial determinations, this has not
been the case, and the only thing left
whereby the people, in their collective
capacity, could derive the least benefit
from these gifts of wise and benefi-
cent Creator, was in the riparian rights
left to the State, whereby the State, for
the benefit of all the people thereof,
could levy tax of one dollar ton on
all phosphates taken from the bottom
OF navigable streams, and even this the
decision of Judge Young denies them.
And the Times-U MON says that all the
people will hail with delight this timely
decision. The exaction of this small
tariff, the Times-Union says, would
have crippled and perhaps stifed this
industry and would have proven great
detriment to the State How much do
these men, who have gobbled up all the
river bottoms of the State, want to
make anyway? Do they want all the
earth and the fulness thereof?
The cost of gathering the phosphate
from the river bottoms is merely nom
inal, and delivered at any shipping point
is worth from Sl2 to SIS per ton, and in
the interest of this class of men, the
Iimes-Union whines that the payment
of the pitiable sum of a dollar ton
into the treasury of the State would
ruin them all and kill the industry This
is sheer nonsense and can not deceive
a blind man. The people make and I'M
make the laws and they should see
that all the people derive some of the
benefits of these immense deposits,
which can only be regarded as divine
gift.
