Ex-mayor Frank McDougall, of OF
tawa, has taken the initiative in push
ing the idea of the single tax for NUM-
cipal purposes in Ottawa. The first
step is to be a discussion of the evils
Of the present system at .he next meet
ing of the board of trade. when the
single tax will be proposed as a remedy.
Ottawa is the capital of the Dominion,
and land-grabbing there has been car
ried to an extreme The result is high
taxes on improvements and large areas
of vacant land in those parts of the city
where the eligible building sites are to
be found. It is this result that has
forced the business men Of the city to
consider ehe situation. Mr.. McDougall
has studied economic and social science,
and though he does not now accept the
single tax absolutely, he is Thoroughly
convinced that direct taxes should fall
upon, lafd values. and not upon labor
products.S tits expected, that the dis.
cussion will be a lively one, and that
the board of trade win endorse the sim
gle tax for municipal purposes.
Hon. A. r. Mcclellan, senator OF the
Dominion from the Province of New
Brunswick, has been called upon by the
government of his province to take the
craftsmanship of the royal commission
to investigate the subject of municipal
taxation. Senator McClelan's atten-
ton has been called to the single tax,
and he expresses his, readiness to bring
it up for the consideration Of his COM
mission.
At the close OF the single tax lecture
in Ottawa, reported. in this column last
week, the customary privilege of ask
ing questions was extended to the audi
ence, and Mr.. A. C. Campbell under
took the task of furnishing the answers.
The Toronto Grip reports the result as
follows: ssis ia - 81 i1-ses3 ~a}
His replies, it need scarcely be said,
were in all cases prompt and satiafao-
tory. In one particular instance he
was keenly witty. A young gentleman
rose and propounded a case as follows:
II buy picture from an artist for 500;
in. say, FIVE years j sell the picture for
5000, and you agree that am entitled
to the profit on the transaction Now,
at the time that / bought the picture a
friend of mine bought piece of land
for 800, and at tn. time I sold the work
of art he sold his land, also for IS, OO0
You deny his right to this profit
Upon what rule of justice do you make
such distinctions
1--WE make no distinction" responded
Mr.. Campbell. "As single takers, we
are pre-eminently encouragers of COM
merce. If an artist makes a picture
and sells it for <ioo-that is straight
transaction. As purchaser you are the
owner of it, and if you dispose of it
at an advance, that is also a square
business, and you are entitled to any
profit you may make. The same prin-
ciple holds good in the other proposed
case. If a man makes a. piece of land
and sells it," But here the audience
caught on and the roar of laughter OBJ
Waited any further extension of the
parallel ssst.{sfs a4e

levied, includes the improvements OF
the land as well as the land itself, and
the board is not at liberty to make a
special appraisement of the value of the
property, but must take it from the
comfy assessments made for the pur-
pose of general taxation, in which all
improved property is assessed. land and
improvements together, in joint sum.
We hold this not to be a just system of
taxation The taxation should assign
as near as can be the burden to the
benefited. The benefits from such pub
lie improvement accrue to the land or
lots. and not to any improvements
thereon. These can not be increased in
value, for with or without public i'm
provements they can never be worth
more than it will cost to put them there.
The owner of vacant lot or tract of
land of equal value is just as much
benefited as the one with improvements,
End should pay as much.
These assessments should ALWAYS be
upon the value of the land or lots, leav-
ing out the improvements. But there
is a long step in the right direction in
leaving out of the assessment all per-
sonal property or products of human
industry, except such improvements up
on the land; for under the law that
portion of the taxes levied upon such
improvements can be shifted upon nom
property holders. OF such as have only

FRIDAY. APRIL 10, 1892.
CHAS s F. SCOTT
OFFICIAL PAPER OF ALLEN COUNTY,
A BROKEN HEART.

Col. Jones' heart is broken. He is
the most emphatic and uncompromis-
ing Cleveland man I'm Kansas, and he
looked with fatherly pride upon the
resolutions of endorsement and in
struction which were so adrOitly ell
gineered through the Allen County
Democratic Convention last week.
And he spent several blissful hours
picturing to himself how the Stuffed
Prophet would open the REGISTER
when it reached him and hunt around
until he found the report of the Con-
vention with the strong resolutions
and the Colonel's great speech, and
how he would read it all out loud to
his wife and then say, "Ah, Frances,
that Col. Jones is a great man, a great
man, and when we get back again we
must remember him, we must in
deed!" But on Sunday this sweet
dream was turned to bitterness by
the arrival of the Kansas City Star
with violent attack on the aforesaid
resolutions. "This resolution said
the ,Stas', ais good so far as it goes, but
it doesn't go far enough" Doesn't go
far enough! You could have knock
ed the Colonel down with a feather
when he read those words. The idea
that he, the father and mother of the
Cleveland cohorts i'm Kansas, should
have written an endorsement of his
chief that did not go far enoughI That
was hard enough to bear, but the Star
was not satisfied with that. 1t dealt
another blow. 1t said, Between the
compliments and the at present of
the Allen county resolutions there is
ample room for cOlored man to crawl
into the wOodpile." o horrible, hor-
rible, most hOrribleI ais it not
enough" groaned the Colonel, Ito
charge me with lukewarmness? Must
they also accuse me of construc-
tive treason? Can it be that l have
lived this long, and been truly lOil
Democrat euer since Nelse and ME
got run over by the Republican
machine some twenty years ago, to
have it thrown up to me now i'm my
old age, that have deliberately and
wilfully consorted with cOlored man
and connived at his base attempts to
fitch the wood my leader has been so
industriously saving? Alas, that
even l have lived to see this day!"
Then the Colonel bowed his head
and his great heart broke into a whole
lot of little pieces.
