ry Georges views as to the ownership
of land should prevail?" We have stud
led those doctrines for some years, and
believe that the time will come--not
very soon, perhaps-when it will be
recognized that Georges ideas on tho
tenure of land are far more advapta-
geous to the Improving farmer than tho
present system. The farmers shy axay
from Georges ideas at first, because
they are not understood. When they
are fully compromised we think it will
be seen that under them land tenure
for the farming class will not only be
more equitable. but safer, more endur-
ing and more beneficial to the farmers
themselves than the present system.

Tap the Trunk of a Tree.

The Christian Union says: THE Tax
Reform association is composed Of men
more or less in sympathy with Henry
Georges proposition to impose all taxes
on land values It demands the repeal
of all taxes upon personal property.
Its fundamental error is brought out by
the picture which serves as the frontis-
pieces to its book. A farmer and his
boys are getting the sap from tree
whose trunk is marked real estate and
whose branches are marked manu-
facturers,' business capital personal
property 'incomes,' wages etc. The
boys are boring at the branches; the
old farmer gets his sap from the trunk
of the tree. The moral is stated thus;
when tho trunk is tapped, each branch
is drawn upon for its due proportion of
sap This is very clever, but utterly
false. The farmers in this country
have only one-fourth of the wealth, but
they have one-half of the real estate.
The tapping of the trunk would take
rs much sap from their quarter of the
wealth as from the three-quarters be-
longing to the people in the towns"
The Christian Union is greatly in err
rot in saying that the association in
question is composed of men favorable
to the Henry George theory. Such is
not the case. Mr.. George would destroy
land ownership. proposition hostile
to the views of almost all the members
of the tax reforA movement. The en-
forcement of Georges notions would
revolutionize society as organized, while
tax reform would simply wipe out an
odious and inequitable avenue of taxa
ton that it is impossible to enforce. and
place the burden where it would be less
burdensome to society at large. and
more equally distributed, than in any
other way.
