Suppose have 81, 900 house along.
side Mayor Pingree's $50, 900 mansion"
says Inquirer, .'would it be right to tax
me as much as him7n..
The answer is, yes, If the lots occu.
pied;by the. 81 900 and the $50, 900 houses
are equally valuable. And for these
reasons:
l. The value of the lots was made by
the community. therefore, to tax them
to their fuilwAfue will deprive neither
Inquirer nor Mayor Pingree of any
wealth their exertions have produced.
9 The improvements on the lots arc
due solely to the exercise of human ex.
ertion of some kind. In one case it
may be limb labor; in another case it
may be mind labor: in a third case it
may be a combination of limb and
mind labor. In all cases, whatever is
produced is due to work-industry-
and sis .evcr is saved is due to prud-
ence aud economy. The evil o. the
present system of taxation is that it
taxes industry, and, therefore, discour-
ages it, Now. to take the tax off in
dustry will enable Inquirer to build
better house on the valuable lot he oc.
cupies. 1t will do this in several ways;
by relieving him of other taxes, and,
therefore, while increasing his taxes on
his lot, .abolishing it on his house, on
his plaintiff he isa small manufacturer;
on his purchases. and, therefore, re-
ducing their price, and at the same
timeincreasing the value of his labor
through the larger market and steaiier
work that would follow the freeing O,
industry from AFT burdens.
If the proprietor of the house assessed
at 81, 200 alongside of they iouse assessed
at $50, 900 would look at 1T in another
way he would cease to repiR& Suppose
that the adipinipg lot to himself. which
is of thesane,value.asl his own. has on it
q. still poorer house than his. The house
owned by the poorest man of the two
is small dilapidated ;-shaptys whichsis
assessed at 800. The poorest man also
don't see the Justice of having his home
taxed the same as the 81, 600 and $50. 900
house. suppose, too, that the lot ad-

laid with the sole reference to TIM inter
est of local property owners The re-
bort notes that every citizen called to
International capital finds it his primary
care to provide himself with living &C.
commodations, and apropos Of this the
report says:
As-any assessment that falls on the
erection and maintenance of buildings
necessarily checks building and in
creases the cost while diminishing the
comfort of living accommodations, 1t
thus tends to lessen the comfort and
increase the expenses of all citizens
who are called on to reside in or visit
Washington. On the other hand an as
sessment on the annual rental value
of lands, such as these property owners
recommend, has no tendency either to
diminish house accommodation or to
increase its cost. 1t simply takes from
what the owner of land would other
wise put in his pocket, and, by making
1t as costly to him to keep land idle as
to fully improve it, would tend to stim-
hlate building and increase accoIumc-
dation. 1t would thus promote the
comfort and economy of citizens resid-
ing in. or visiting the national capital,
and instead of discouraging enterprise
and improvement would tend to dis
courage the business of monopolizing
land that is needed for the purposes
for. which the federal district was
formed. - @=. =. -
Furthermore, the REPORT points ont
that SIC Identification of the district at
national expense benefits local land.
owners. and it IS therefore expedient
that. the assessment for LOCAL revenues
should fall upon the bepeficiaries. Then
says the report: -
Out of the twenty-four. millions
year which the landowners of the dis
trict are already enabled to appropriate
to themselves, and the forty millions a
year which is being added to the sal
able value of their property by the
growth of the district it is surely but
little to ask that they should contribute
less than 100000 more-than they now
contribute to municipal expenses. A
tax rate of 81 cents on the 500 is now
needed to raise the required revenue
from land and improvements, but tax
of only 50 rents on the 500 would raise
it from land alone, leaving all improve.
ments exempt from taxation.
The report declares that to collect
only 12H per cent. of the annual rental
value of land would suffice to raise the
districts proportion of the increased
sum of 100000 asked of congress by
the district commissioners, and 25 per
cent. would suffice to raise the whole,
so that not a penny need be asked of
the national government This could
be dere without; increasing the cost of
living in the district, and indeed, with |
the result Of checking land speculation,
aid bringing land held for speculative
purposes into use, an effect in turn,
which would increase legitimate land |
values and thus enlarge the fund to be
arawn upon for the districts needs.

Have You a Cold 2

Perhaps you think because you do not
cough, on that account you are not af-
flicted with cold. A cold does not always
settle on the lungs or in the throat. A
cold oaughtin summer frequently does not.
1t settles upon the kidneys and produces
pneumonia or rheumatism besides good
many other things, and is fully as danger
GUS there as it is when it fastens upon the
'r-gs. When you catch cold get bottle
OF RElD'S GERMAN COUGH AND
KIDNEY CURE and take it freely. If
your cold is obstinate and you feel out of
sorts and feverish, take it in small doses
frequently every fifteen minutes, and il
will certainly cure you. This is the sea-
son of the year when catarrhal complaints
prevail. People suffer greatly from asthma
this month and from hay fever. If they
will take REID'S GERMAN COUGH
AND KIDNEY CURE they will be cured.
1t will give them relief at once, but as
these are obstinate mais s'.s, persons thus
afflicted must persi:t in taxing the rene.
dy. The result ls In all cases beneficial.

.convenlenceS OF the whole city. and he
instinctively feels that it is wrong that
his taxes should be increased for hav-
ing done so. The poor man with a
small and poor house has to submit. A
few dollars difference in the assess
rnent will not pay him for the time and
trouble of protesting. But the rich
man, with the costly house, not merely
has more time and larger interests, but
finds the difference in the assessment a
more important matter. Thus. in both
these ways, there are powerful tenden-
cies constantly at work TO produce UNI
just inequality in the taxation of build
-ings and improvements. These tend
cncies must act directly and powerfully
upon the taxation of land. with which
the taxation of buildings ant Improve
ments is conjoined.
The committee finds a strong senti-
mcnt in the district in favor of assess
ing taxes upon the land values only,
The committee says that this seems the
correct principle. The man who holds
land that would yield him an income
were he to improve it. ought to pay rs
much toward the expenses of the dis
trict as he who by Improvement actual
ly does receive an income from his
land, and the committee sees how much
the suggested method of leyying assess
ments would stimulate improvements
and promote the growth and prosperity
of the district while lessenipg the ten
dency toward inequality. The com,
mittee thinks that tho district being
tho seat Of the national government,
and for that reason attracting many
rsfscps, the tssatios shauld not be
