A FAIR, JUST, EQUITABLE AND sCIEN.
TIFIC SYSTEM OF TAXATION.
N ..ag tn A Ann

IlPAC D1OlEM OE IAAA4AOAas
To the Editor OF THE ADVOCATE.
Taking up In this communication, the
burden of my argument where left of
in my last article, we are now ready to
examine the present condition of the
farmer as relates to taxation under the
present system and his relationship In
regard to the three items, rent, interest
and profit, and also the changes in such
condition and relationship that would be
effected by the Inauguration of the single
tax system.
Let us first glance at the condition of
the tenant farmer. Single takers will
cordially agree that the landlord takes
all he can get, hence the tenant farmer
pays as much as any other man will offer.
This is MIR. Georges economic rent" so
that the tenant farmer will pay as
single tax, just what he now pays as rent.
Oh, no, I have not forgotten the improve
ments, nor the "bare ground" racket. Nor
do forget the fact that land under oul-
tlvation, without buildings, rents for just
about as much without buildings, as the
same land does with buildings. Nor the
further fact that In many localities, In
fact nearly all over the northwest, one
third to two -fifthS of the crop pays for a
farm, including house, pasture, etc., ETC.,
while the same rent IS charged for
plowed land, with no house or pasture.
"But," says our single tax friend, "he
would pay no other tax" All, there!
what about the tax upon valuable
lands" In the cities and towns? AaYe
l not clearly demonstrated that the farm
ers and their dependents, constituting
two fifths of the consumers in the United
States, must Of necessity, pay two-ffths
of the single tax levied upon all lands
occupied for income producing busi-
nesses? "They do not now," you SayH
Certainly they do, and admit that under
the single tax system their taxes would
be lightened by just the amount Of d.
rect tand indirect taxes (not rent or land
tax now included in the price Of goods,
wares and commodities.
/ am inclined to believe that upon the
whole, the single tax might tighten the
burden of the tenant farmer.
How Is it with the land owning farm
err Farming is, or should be profit
able or income producing business.
Under the present system, to be upon an
equality with merchants and middlemen,
the farmer should be able to include in
the price of his products the following
items:
Economic rent, Interest upon value Of
bare l&nd).
Improvement rent, Interest upon cost
Of improvements)
Sinking fund for interest upon cost
The advocate., 1892-05-11

expenditure at $600-with an addition Of
the single tax economic rent" Of
$500, or 5 per cent. upon $4,000, the
value of the "bare land" allowing
$4,000 for improvements. Thus we easily
prove that the single tax would worst
our cotton planter just $l75 for the year.
IL will be- readily understood that II the
price Of cotton is 80 low that the cotton
grower is unable to "shlft" his economic
rent, 1. e., include In the price OF his cot
ton the interest upon the value Of his
bare land, the single tax would have to
come out Of his principal-thRt Is to say,
he must mortgage his land for money to
pay It.
How is il with the grain growers Of the
west and northwest
Equally with the cotton growers the
victim Of damnsble conspiracy between
the plutocrsts OF America and England,
his great staple, wheat, is lowered In price
by the demonstration Of silver, the legal
tender basis Of his principal wheat grow
ing competitor. So completely iS he che
victim OF adverse circumstances that all
business rules and laws Of commerce are
reversed to aid In his robbery and spolla-
tion. The dealers from whom he buys
his machinery and implements, and gro
ceries and clothing, and his fuel, all add
the cost Of transportation 10 the first cost
of the commodities they sell him. But
when he sells his wheat he must deduct
from the price Of It the cost Of transpoF-
tation over 1900 miles Of rail and across
5000 miles Of water, although II his mer-
chant were to buy his bread in Liverpool
the cost Of transportation would come
out Of his pocket. Thus the tariff upon |
wheat, held up TO the farmer as blessed |
protection, is, In fact, a curse, as without
tariff New York would be his market,
instead Of Llverpool,and he would escape |
the cost Of ocean transportation. In i'm.
mense blocks of granite and brick are
legAllzed gambling halls, called boards
of trade, wherein the products Of the
farmer are made the plRything Of COM
mercial gamblers, who buy and sell enor-
nous quantities Of mythical products and
bet on prices going up or down.
What then would the annual balance
sheet Of a western or northwestern grain |
and stock farmer look like? ! shall en-
deavor to answer this question by tabu-
lating the result of the crop Of 1891, for
the whole state Of Kansas, thus present |
ing an annual balance sheet for the farm |
erS Of Kansas, a. . whole class. Kansas,
in the year 1891, raised a wonderful crop

suit Of such crop viii put the best posi- |

and for repairs and replacement Of build
ings' fences, work, stock, machinery and

All taxes paid by him.
Food, clothing and fuel.
Stopping at this point, the farmer is
exactly upon an equality with the mer-
chant, who barely makes a comfortable
living out oihis business after paying all
charges, including REM, interest and taxes.
Anything more the farmer may receive is
the equivalent to the merchants wages,
or net profits.
How then does 1t in fact fare with the
land owning farmer?
The following item from the pen Of
Harry Tracy shows how 1t Jared with q
cotton farmer in the crop year OF 1889 90:
The annual balance sheet OF cotton farmer
owning 300 acres OF land and culGlvatllg $50
acres, estimating wages at $40 per mouth, would
show about as follows:
To farm and improvements ..... s 100000
To stock and implements ts..,...... 1900 90
To provisions and pr0vender.. $4,000
To hire hands sufficient to secure crop
at 20 acres to hand at SO cents per
day Observation-Disclosures. 1866 %
To use Of implements, land, improve
ments, and decline In value OF
To clothing for family Of four persons 100 90
To doctors bills. ls.....,........... ....., 5000

Farm implements and pro-
" ''''' ' 10 ooe 90
The advocate., 1892-05-11

Net loss to farmer annually. .... 9484t0
/ gather from above that the cotton
farmer, owning 300 acres Of land got for
his years labor experimenting the pro-
duction Of crop Of cotton, q bare, uery
"bare subsistence" including coarse,
common clothing, and literally came out
In debt for his taxes and 5000 besides.
So far as his economic rent" was con-
cerned, he got nothing, absolutely moth
ing for the use Of his land, or capital in
vested In land, improvements, work
stock, implements, etc. II the annual
balance sheet had been for the crop year
Of 1912 with cotton selling for cents
and less, our farmer must have borrowed
as much as $1,000 to tide him over for
another crop. This throws some light
upon the causes which conspired to put
the southern farmer In debt.
Now In the case Of this farmer it is
shown that he expended only the sum Of
$725 for provisions, provender, clothing,
doctor bills and taxes, and had to borrow
$S4 Of that. AS there is no tariff upon
provisions or provender, or doctor bills,
the only reduction in his expenditure the
single tax system would have effected is
say 325 tariff on his clothing and s25
tax included in the price of his clothing
provision and provender, and also the
$75 he paid in direct taxes, leaving his

The Cotton Picker.

One Of recent purchasers OF stock in
the Lone Star Cotton Picker Co. was Mr..
J. G. Price Of Salisbury, N. G. Physi.
cally he Is q fine specimen Of the African
race. A sight OF his genial countenance,
beaming with intelligence, is suggestive
OF the thought that progress is not con.
fined to the Anglo Saxon. The capabili-
ties of the negro race are great. The
desire for an education, once aroused,
becomes almost Unsuitable. No greater
factor in solving the trace pro blem" will
be found than the Lone Star Cotton
Picker.
The negro needs emancipation from
the cotton picking gang almost as badly
as he needed it from the broader bond
age before the war. His poor white
neighbor has the same need, perhaps In
tensifed. The men and money of New
England were the largest factor in his
emancipation from slavery. and the same
factor is now engaged in freeing him
from slavery to cotton picking, and
while SO doing the money will return a
hundred fold, for it needs no prophet to
foresee that furnishing machines to pick
the cotton must to immensely profit
able. A machine can be manufactured
for 500 that will save to the planter
$1,000 in a season. The company which
has monopoly OF that machine can
treat the planters with liberality, and
yet retain share OF the profits that will
enable them to pay dividends that should
satisfy the most avaricious. A limited
amount of stock in the company is now
being sold at 81 Milk ct. Prompt action
will enable you to secure 1t far below its
intrinsic value. Land In Chicago is SELL
ing at $4,000 front foot that could have
been purchased for $1.25 an acre not SO
very many years ago. Stock in the Lone
Star Cotton Picker Co. will be sold few
years hence at prices which will cause
many to recall with q sigh what. they
might have done.

A New Haven gentleman has a charming

he provides her with money to put in the con-
tribution box. On their return from church last
Sunday afternoon he said to her, "What do the
