"Financiering.

In an article on capitalization" the
Evening Post makes very clear the fact
that all advance in science and inven-
tion, all improvements, labor saving
devices OF methods of Harvesting the
forces of nature, are solely for the
benefit of the few to whom they mean
dividends or profits.
Commenting upon the report of the
Massachusetts board of railway COM
missioners it shows that the mileage Of
street railways was in 1888 only 534,
which has increased to 874 in 1893. Of
this I'll miles are electric roads. "The
reason for such changes" says the
Post, sis to be found in the one word

creased by the substitution Of electric
power while operating expenses per
mile run are reduced"
After showing that the earnings ~
had increased from 20 to 81 cents per
mile run, while the operating expenses
had decreased still more than that, it
exults over the fact that an increase of
from 81 to 925 net profit on each mile
of run means an increase of 81 1890 in
the net profit of every mile of track
per year, or a total profit of $3.50 per
mile. This gives 211S cents per mile
run, as operating expenses.)
This means that in 1883, capitalists

money out of use and obstructing
trade. Men are fined now for trading
and exchanging. The remedy for OBJ
struction is very simple. 1t consists in
taking down the bars, not in building
new fences. Repeal the class laws by
which monopoies are fostered. The
national banking law which gives the
owners of national banks a special
privilege of issuing currency. The laws
for collecting all kinds of indirect taxes
whereby the purchasing power of la
borer'S wages is reduced and landlord
ism encouraged and the laws for pri-
vate ownership of natural monopolies,
which now take from the public mo-
nopoly, profits by means of extortionate
charges.
Mr., SprOul mentions the fact that
President Cleveland's salary OF $780,
600 will buy twice as much wheat,
clothing, etc., as would the ame-salary
when General Grant received it. There
is one thing it will not buy nearly as
much of, and that is land in Washing
ton and vicinity.
With all this decline in the price Of
commodities the value and rent Of land
steadily rises and the expectation of
getting something for nothing tempts
men constantly to buy and hold land
out of use for speculative purposes.
Land speculation has produced every
panic in this country, and the applica-
tion of the full unlimited single-tax
would cure it entirely. Land having
no value except for use would not
be subject to speculative purchase.
New Zealand is the object lesson.
Australia has government ownership
of railroads as well as New Zealand
But New Zealand excepts personal
property and improvements from tax
alton and the consequence is that
spectators in land are letting go OF
their holdings and New Zealand has nc
panic and no unemployed to speak of
Advocates of graduated taxation
may find some encouragement in the
New Zealand reports, as the tax is grad
uated in a measure. But we who be-
lieve in the single-tax find in the re-
suits there the conclusive proof that
what labor most needs is access to land
and that access to land comes easily
when it is improbable to own land
without using it.

But the greedy capitalists are re-
buked by the Post for over-capitaliz.
ing. 1t seems that as soon as the in
creased earning (robbing) capacity OF
the new motor power had been ascer.
tanned the stock was watered to the
tune of about 1000 per mile addi.
tional. This means that the value OF
the "goods" was marked up as soon as
it was seen that by this agency more
percentage could be squeezed out Of
the public. The total increased valu-
alton amounts to $18,354 900, over and
above the former rate Of valuation per
mile; over and above all cost, invest
ment or reasonable valuation. This
sum is water, pure and simple. The
financiers are confident Of paying diVi
dends upon this increased amount OF
stock, which to their minds is ample
justification for issuing it. Many Of
them will realize tP)several years profit
by selling at once.
The Post hints that during the first
few years while the roads and motors
need but few repairs this will be pos.
sible, but fears that when improve.
ments are demanded later, owing to
the greed of the stockholders there will
be no surplus, and bonds will have to
be issued to pay for such betterments.
This might temporarily reduce the
value of the stock. The Post is right.
While the dividends are very impor-
tant item to keep up the price of stock,
yet the owners of this water can turn
an honest penny by selling the stock at
it's face value to another set of capita
lists, who in turn can issue bonds as
fast as the traffic will bear. The pub
lie pays in nickles for all improvements
in their transit, they pay for the water,
the bonds pay for all improvements,
and then the people pay perpetual
tribute forever after, sufficient to re-
place all the roads every four years.

TAKE FOR EXAMPLE
The Taxation Laws of Some Other Govern
mantS

CATE OF March Mr.. 4. +. OprOul VI
Frankfort, Kas., offers some objections
to the single-tax, which deserves notice
and reply. 1 am going to commence
with the last portion of his article first
and discuss the subject of graduated
land tax.
Single-taxerS are divided into two
bodies known as unlimited and limited.
The unlimited single-taxer is one who,
believing in common property in land,
or in the equal rights of all men to
the use of natural opportunities for
producing wealth, advocates the tax
ing of land values to the full extent of
the rental value as the means of recog.
nizing this common right. The limited
single-taxer is one who not advocating
the single-tax from the theory of COM
mon property in land, does advocate
the raising of all public revenues from
the taxation of land values alone, be-
cause of it's convenience, because Of its
Justice, because Of the feasibility of
getting at the value of the property to
be taxed, and because the fund from
this source available for public revenue,
increases in proportion to the increase
of population and the need of public
revenue. The unlimited single-tax is
not in any way compatible with pro-
position for graduated taxation. Ii
the entire rental value of all land is to
be taken in taxation then it is impoS-
sible to graduate it. When all of an
article is taken nothing remains. On
the other hand if less than the full
value is to be taken from some men
then those men are given an adVan-
tage over othesr who pay the full tax.
But if the single-tax limited is in Mr..
Sprouts mind when writing about a
graduated land tax tits possible to estab-
lishsuch system. Ifonlyspart of the
rental value is to be taken for public
needs then system could be arranged
by which larger holdings could be
made to give up greater proportion
of rental value annually. Like the
graduated income tax the graduated
land tax has many advocates. 1t is
open to the same objection as personal
property taxes and income taxes, that
it could be easily evaded. For in
stance, the owner of large tract of
land, subject to increased taxes by
reason of its area could make nominal
sales to tenants and so cut up the tract
into apparent divided ownerships. He
could then protect himself by taking
mortgages from the nominal owners,
and then pay no more taxes proper
tionately than would owners of smaller
tracts of land.
Mr.. Sprouts argument that there is a
difference in its effect upon society be-
tween interest on money loans and in
terest on time sale Of personal prop
erty does not appear to me conclusive.
Suppose a case where an individual
can increase his production by pur'
chasing horses and wagon. Where
and what is the difference to him
whether he gives the owner his inter
est bearing notes due at stated time
or gives note for the same amount OF
money borrowed and then pays cash
for team and wagon? Or suppose first
the owner of team and wagon takes the
