JERSEY CITY, N. j., April 12.-The
charter election in Jersey City to-day
was bitterly contested. There were five
candidates for mayor, Democratic, Re-
publican, INDEPENDENT Democrat, Social
istic-Labor and Prohibitionist. At 10 to-
night, the completed precincts for the
entire city gave Wanzer, Republican, a
lead of over 800, but as the ''horse shoe"
district was holding it's own in the way
of Democratic majorities, McDermott's S
supporters hoped for his election by
800 to 1000 majority. Succeeding returns
continued to add to Wanzer's lead until
he stood 2,700 or more ahead of McDer-
mott. The chairman of the Democratic
committee then acknowledged McDer-
motifs defeat.
The Republicans probably elected five

he must then take care that the sr.

sursnce, etc, for the improvements
From VhOm sOOMIG the trnGnt obtain tht
money to pay the land rent, or single t0GF
From his customers or patrons, Of course,
such tax being necessarily included In
the price of all he sold, and Of all ser.
vices he rendered. Thus the people, as
consumers, would pay for the business
''exploiters" the license tax for their oc-
cupancy Of these "UolaIabIe lands" which
single takers assure US would pay the
bulk of the taxes. The profits pertain
ing to the occupancy of locations, or sites,
for business purposes, is what creates
land values. The varying scale of profits
pertaining to various localities, or sites.
is what causes the difference in the price
OF land. The single tax, by obviating
the necessity on the part of capital Of
any investment of money In land, would
give capitalists a monopoly Of as many
Of the choice locations as they were able
to improve, while the rent for the inn
provements would give them interest
upon every dollar they had invested.
The taxes upon residence sites are and
always will be paid by those who occupy
such sites. Taxes upon residences can
not be shifted, living In houses or habl-
tations not being an income pro-
ducing business. The single tax must
be paid by all owners Of residences who
occupy the same and by all tenants who
occupy other mems residence buildings.
Taxes levied upon lands occupied for
profit making or income producing bust
nessess are, under the present system,
shifted" onto those who buy and con-
sumo the goods, wares and commodities
offered for sale on such lands; those who
hire the services of professional men oc-
cupying such lands and those who pat
rODize banks or loan Offices located upon
such lands. Such would remain the case
under the single tax system. Under the
present system land taxes are part Of and
included in rent of occupied lands. TAX
Ing the whole Of rent as tax and chang
ing its name from rent to single tax will
not change the law governing the case.
1t Is unnecessary for me to allude to the
fact that all taxes levied upon goods,
wares and commodities offered for sale
add to or increase the price Of such
goods and commodities and are SHIFTED"
onto the consumer, the dealer, merchant
or seller, only paying any portion thereof,
as he consumes q certain proportion Of
the goods and wares upon which they
are levied.
And so it Is to the end Of the chapter;
all taxes levied upon personal property,
except such as is kept for use and not for
profit, (the very kind that should not be
taxed) are shifted onto consumption
and paid by the people in proportion to
their ability to consume. But there is an
exception. When we get to the farmer
occupying his own land, or the land he
ostensibly owns, we find the exception 10
this general rule. In the case Of re-
tail merchant doing a profitable and pros
porous business, the goods he sells are
burdened with the following charges.
First cost of goods.
Freight.
Rent (which includes land owners
taxes.)
Taxes on merchandise.
The advocate., 1892-05-04


IL ia not my intention to point out or en-
large upon the extoFtionate profits charged
by certain lines of manufacture, which
have organized themselves to trusts, un
der cover OF the protective tariff. Both
the tariff and the internal revenue tax are
what ls known is tax upon consump
ton, or indirect tax. That is to say, en-
tering 90 such taxes do into the first cost oi
articles manufactured here and the cost to
the importing merchant, of goods imported
from abroad, the tax is included in the
price Of the goods to the consumer, and
hence each individual pays taxes accord
ing to his consumption, and not accord
ing to his wealth. This OF necessity en-
tlrely exempts from taxation the "resid-
ual increment" or net annual increase In
wealth, because such increment is Vhat
Is left after all demands for consumption
are SGtiafed 1t Is the accumulation Of
residual increment" or net product
after all demands for consumption are
satisfied, that makes up a great portion
of what Is called our national wealth at
the end OF each ten-yesr period. Wages
grade and ascend In graduating scale
from those Of the day laborer who re-
celves but "bare subsistence" or less
than $500 year, to the railroad presi-
dent or life insurance manager who gets
anywhere from $4,000 to $4,000 year.
But sOmerhere on this graduated scale
we reach point that divides those who
spend their entire wages for living (of
q grade and style commemorate with the
position they aspire to in society from
those who receive more wages than they
can spend for living, and consequently
have left some residual increment" Up
to that point all have paid portion of
their entire earnings as tax; above that
point each individual has some wealth
that cannot be reached by indirect taxa
tlon.
Now as to state, county and municipal
taxes. At first blush 1t would seem as II
here we tax all men according to their
wealth, directly and In q manner they
cannot evade or dodge. Let as see.
First, as to land taxes-if Mr.. Wake
field will pardon my presumption in
treating of IA subject of which have not
even "a superficial knowledge" Under
the present system, all contiguous lands
Of the same actual value, are assessed for
taxation at the same valuation, "irrespeo-
tive of improvements" but such assessed
valuation Is but variable percentage Of
the actaul value. In the case of i'm
proved lands, the same percentage of the
actual value Of the improvements Is
added to the assessed value of the land.
AS the annual Increase In value Of un-
improved land outside Of business CEN
ters amounts to eight or ten times the
amount Of the tax, the land owner holds
on and pays the tax until he chooses to
sell, when he recoups himself for all the
taxes he has paid and "shifts" them on
to the buyer of the land, who, if he oc-
cupies and uses such land for income
producing business, collects the interest
upon the cost Of his land from his Gus
toners, or patrons. Under the operation
Of the single tax "limited" the results
would be the same, but In less marked
degree. But under the operation Of the
single tax unlimited" there would be
