TO the Editor:
Where will the money 10 pay the income tax
eventually come from7 1t seems to me that as
all incomes are derived from labor, which pro-
duces all wealth. the income tax will be ulti-
mately shifted on TO labor. The landlords will
demand more rent. employers OF labor offer less
wages, manufacturers and distributors OF the
necessaries OF life will ask profits, and SO
the income tax may be transferred by the mill
ionaire onto the wage-earner, who will have no
means of escaping, except by refusing to work,
and therefore getting evicted and starved. There
is only one tax that will stop where It is placed
and that is a tax on the unimproved value OF all
land. That must be paid by the landlord and
cannot be shifted onto the tenant, and through
this tax all holders OF vacant land will be com
