The Sure Road to Prosperity and Happi-

To the Editor of the Advocate:-In
your issue OF September IS. in COM
menting On the article by Robert Hood,
to advocate the taxing of all property,
both real and personal, as calculated TO
produce the best results on a basis of
exact justice. That. | understand, is
the theory on which states now levy
taxes.
There are many objections to this
method OF taxing. ! have had u long
experience in farming. and during that
time have served as assessor and II
have had opportunity to see and watch
the practical workings of this system,
especially in reference to farmers. AS
far as my observation goes those who
hold large amounts of personal prop
erty almost entirely escape taxes.
In the rural towns where / am familiar
with the condition of affairs. there
are a. few residents who are sup
posed to be worth from one to sew
eral hundred thousand dollars each,
but these men are far from being the
largest taxpayers in their respective
towns. Although known to be pos
sessed of large wealth they invariably
manage to keep it out Of the tax lists,
sometimes by adroit political influence
and sometimes by downright perjury,
and the main bulk of the taxes is paid
by Woodworking farmers of limited
means. Nor is any other result to be
expected under this system, for in eff
feet it offers d bounty on perjury and
avoidance Of taxes to such an extent
that those who are wealthy and fail to
use the same means soon find tham-
selves entirely at a disadvantage end
paying vastly more than their prolsor-
ton of public expenses and hence in
the end are compelled to adopt similar
means to those employed by their
neighbors. or, as the only alternative,
to become non-residents.
The farmers can not escape. but
must pay their own share and also
that of their rich neigAbors. 1t is
needless to point out that such an es-
tablished system of perjury is vastly
demoralizing, rot only to the body
polite, but to the social body and pub
lie standard of character as well.
The second and more important OBJ
lection to a tax on personal property
is that all such property represents
the results Of labor, hence a tax on
personal property is a tax on labor.
It's final effect is to inflict a punish
ment upon the practice of industry.
economy, prosperity and thrift, by
means of a tax which is in the nature
of a fine upon such persons as shall
practice these virtues. All improve
ments upon real estate are, in their
essential nature, in no wise different
from personal property; they are pro-
duced by the labor of man and a tax
upon them, like the tax upon personal
property, is a tax upon labor.

llne. The millionaire has a ,,ao.;a.
eeh' mansion and stocks and bonds snd
parreis OF money. Why shouldn't he
De taxed for them?'
sc inns man who has just houg1., a
ticket enjoys more value than the
woman. Look at the headlight dia-
hhoho ne wears. Should he therefore
pay the management in proportion to
'he value he eniovs"?"
what nonsense: The mana cement
oon furnish him diamonds"
NO moro does the community fur.
hlsh mansions, stocks, bonds or barrels
OF money to the millionaire"
In heavens name. what value does
the community furnish to widow and
nlilionalre SO exactly equal that both
should be required to pay the same
taxes'' asked an important looking
man with a loud voice.
What values (Which are exactly
equal does the anagement of this
theater furnish the rich man and Door
woman just before us?"
First said his friend. the man
agement furnishes an entertainment
attractive enough to draw this large
audience together
well, what civilized community
does not furnish a multitude of advant-
ages attractive enough to draw masses
OF people together?!'
& Yes, but" broke in the little man,
ltvlth a chuckle, 1.-The entertainment is
furnished for all the audience in conn.,
mon. The advantages Of civilized So
clety is furnished to all the citizens in
common. Then according to that idea
every man would have to pay the same
tax whether he is a begear or mil
lionaire."
And that would work finely in a
theater,' said the loud-voiced man.
1.-The back row in the upper gallery
would pay the same price as the or
chestra seats"
"Oh no. Not so fast, The value to
EACH person of a common advantage is
measured by his individual opportun-
lty OF enjoying it. A man in an on
chestra seat has a more valuable OPP
portunity of enjoying the entertain
ment than one in the back row of the
gallery. A party owning a. lot on Fifth
avenue has a more valuable opportun-
ity OF enjoying the advantages of New
York City than a denizen of the mud
flats of the Harlem river"
Then when l buy my ticket" put
in the friend, II pay for the special
privilege of occupying a certain seat,
to the exclusion of everybody else. and
Of enjoying the entertainment from
that locality"
Exactly. And it is for the special
privilege of occupying one plot of
ground to the exclusion of everybody
else, and of reaping all the benefits of
surrounding society from that locality
that me should be taxed
''Then under your plan" remarked
a quiet old gentleman, ''the widow en-
joying the same special privilege as
the millionaire should pay the same
tax. And if she can't afford it she
must take a less valuable privilege.
The whole question seems to be, Shall
men be taxed in proportion to the
wealth they possess, or according to
the value of the special privileges they
enjoy?'-L. E. Wilmarth, in the New
Earth.

His .Remedy."

Let natural opportunities be opened
to whomsoever desired to use them:
let us take the weight of taxation off
the agricultural districts where land
has little or no value irrespective of
improvements, and put it on towns
and cities where bare land rises to a
valuation Of millions Of dollars.
Let us dispense with a municipality
of taxes and a horde of tax-gatherers,
simplify government and greatly re-
duce its cost.
