Spreading the Light.

Judging from correspondence in the
Stroudsburg Times it appears that the
light is gradually dawning upon the
farmers and others throughout this state.
The writer of the following plea for
better taxation shows that he is imbued
with the justice of a tax upon land
values, and while he may not know that
he is pronulgating the single tax doctrine
it is evident that he would be one of its
stauchest supporters. His complaint,
| however, of the difference in rates
between boroughs and townships is one
that Will be abolished upon the adoption
of the Henry George theory, as land,
whether situated in cities, boroughs or
townships will be taxed according to its
value, and this alone will remove one of
the greatest obstacles towns now meet
when they Try to extend their limits.
The Times correspondent says:
Appeals from the assessments of vari-
GUS assessors throughout the county
have been occupying the attention of
days and they were numerous. In
many instances the assessments made
We're outrageous, and it really appears as
if some assessors were desirous of putting
tax on all forms of public improve
ment. Especially is this the case with
regard to manufacturing establishments.
The strongest efforts are made to induce
manufacturers to locate, and then, when
they have been induced to put up expen-
sive buildings and have made a big out
lay of capital, the object seems to be to
tax them out of existence.
Another instance of unwisdom is found
IN cases OF extention of borough lines.
Property subject to township taxes is
taken into borough limits and is at once
taxed at enormous rates-by way of well
come. | know of a case where a land
company had lot of property (some 4C
or 5O acres) taken into a borough in this
way. The property was bought two
years ago for S25 an acre and one half OF
1t was stony, mountain land. The as.
tute borough assessors at once put 500
an acre tax on it. And it is warning tc
the company that the more they attempt
TO improve their property, the more theil
taxes will be increased.
A system of taxation which puts a pre-
MUM upon land unimproyed by practi
cally exempting it from taxation and put!
apenalty in the shape of enormous assess
ments on enterprise which attempt!
improvement, is very bad one.

The Income Tax and the Single Tax.

The commission appointed by the
state at the last session of the legislature
to examine the different tax laws of
other states and the several theories of
taxation which are being advocated
made its report last week. The inten-
tion of this committee was only to
present facts and figures from which the
Legislature could judge for itself the best
method to adopt. None of the laws in
vogue in any Of our sister states met the
approval of the commission, and the
members severely criticised the present
unjust and unequal system, although
they are all representatives of great
manufacturing interests. Regarding the
income tax and the single tax the COM
mission reports as follows:
The taxation of incomes is an import
ant source of revenue in Europe, and is
ably advocated by many advanced think
ers i'll our own country, but it has no
place in the fiscal policy of any Ameri-
can state. If our people were ready for
the adoption of that system our assessing
machinery would need to be radically
changed to make it successful. We be-
lieve that tax on incomes will never
be equitably laid by the officers who are
elected by the taxpayers. The taxation
of property with reference to its selling
value, approximated the results sought
by an income tax because the selling
value of property is fixed in great meas
ure by its earning power.
The plan of taxing property ad valor-
EN- is based upon the theory that govern
mental protection should be repaid in
ratio of the value of the property to be
protected. The income tax system par
TALLY ignores this principle. Both of
these methods fall short of the complete
accomplishment of their object. The
general property tax system fails to tax
personal earnings, and the income tax
system fails to tax property held for
speculation or for personal qualification
only.
The single tax system has rot yet been
brought to practical test. The revenue
laws of no country In the world approach
so near to that as do those of our own
state. The policy of our present tax
laws seem to partake of all of the objec
tionable features, and none of the advan
tages of the single tax system, and alsc
of the general property tax system, in
that it lays very large percentage of
public burdens ON real estate. Yetit fails
to discourage the holding of land for
speculative purposes. The advocates of
single tax appeal to the producing classes
and men of moderate means, with
the promise that their plan would light
en- the burdens of the poor.
Any plan of taxation which will ac-
tually do that deserves careful investiga.
tion, for all tax systems now in use are
more or less oppressive ON the laboring
classes. These promises may be put tc
conclusive test. In the assessment
lists of nearly all of our large cities will
be found separate valuation for land
and for buildings situated thereon. The
value of personal property can be close
ly approXimated. A careful computa-
ton will show that the taxation of land
without buildings will diminish the bur-
den on the homes of the poor.

The Situation in New York.

In private letter to the editor w. b
Estell, of New York, who is thorough,
conversant with the political situation il
that state, makes few pointed comments
upon the position of the Democracy.
Mr.. Estell's business brings him in con-
tact with the people of all sections of
New York, and he is capable of forming
an opinion which is of more than
ordinary value. Although his remarks
were not intended to appear in print we
take the liberty of letting our readers
know the exact condition of political
affairs in that state. He sums it up
briefly and correctly in the following:
1t looks now as though Grover Cleve-
land Is sure OF the nomination, and if he
secures 1t he will carry New York state
by 4O,OOO. No other man possibly can.
IL Is simply marvellous the hold that
man has on the farmers of New York
men who who have always voted the
Republican ticket, but who are sick of
protection and will delight in voting for
Cleveland, because to them he represents
the tariff reform issue as no other man
does. Any other nominee, EXCEPT,
perhaps, GOyernor Russell, of Massa-
Ghusetts, would simply be an ordinary
Democratic nominee, and they would
not support him, but turn reluctantly to
their old gods. The Democracy will
make the mistake of its life if it fails to
give us Cleveland as a candidate.

least these are the rumors which have
been spread and they have found many
believers. The threatened consolidation
of stations along the main line did not
take place because the Central would not
consent. Numerous other little affairs
of this kind were squashed by President
Harris, and there seems to be reasons
for the report that the Reading is in
pain. That the combine may fall of its
own weight is the wish of the people
in the coal regions.

The Combine Is in Trouble,

The Reaping combine, from all ac-
counts, is suffering with cramps, collie or
some other internal malady. President
Mcleod and his colleagues are not quite
80 boisterous as they were two months
ago, and they probably have good rea-
sons. The Central, it is stated, threatens
to withdraw from the consolidation, and
Mcleod is more afraid of the Maxwells
than he is of the constitution of Penn
sylvania. The Central doubts the legal
ity of the deal, and rather than be har.
assed by tedious law troubles it prefers
to revert to the old management. Al
