rent to cover increased taxation, and
finally forced abandonment. Land
which requires to be irrigated is not
available, under our system Of in
dividuslism, because to irrigate it
would require capital that our ten
ant population cannot command, /
may safely say, therefore, that avail
able UacGnt land does not exist that
the single tax could affect except
through greater oppression of people
who are already overburdened.
Your mistake lies in presuming
that the mere adoption of the single
tax would cause land now occupied
to be abandoned, before the tax had
worked out such abandonment by
the process which I have indicated.
The fact is, the land ia not available
to which our tenant population could
20, nor would it become available
until, by starving the tensntry, you
first compel them, and afterwards
the landlords to ABANDON it. Tell me
for exempl9 where your Chicago
merchant would go with his stock to
find unoccupied land and customers
for his goods7 You must remember
also that a very large part Of the
tenants of city homes are now un-
able to make even the cheapest and
most commonplace improvements
upon land if there were oceans of it
unoccupied. They could not make
homes upon 1t if they had the op-
portunity. Your single-tsx would
simply add to their burdens, and
finally drive them from the poor
shelter they now have without afford
ing them the means to procure an
other.
I must notice, in passing this state
ment:
ScuIle7 does not himself make any in. .
provsmeuts on his land, he following the
Irish system of making the tenants do the
improving, and if they can improve
Soulley's vacant lands they can improve
other vacant land.
If there is other vacant land to
improve why do not these tenants
improve it now instead OF improving
Lord Sculley's? Further, it matters
not who makes the improvements;
under our present system they are
taxable when made the same as inn
provements upon lands occupied by
resident owners, and the tenant pays
these taxes. Again; If the improve.
ments belong to the tenant instead
of the landlord, as they undoubtedly
do in some cases, the hardship Of
squeezing the tenant to compel him
to abandon them is so muoh the
greater.
Again you say:
Your reduOttO I'D Gbslrduw of the entire
proceeds Of land being taken for rent,
leaving nothing for subsistence, requires no
reply, in view Of the fact that land for use
would be plentier and cheaper than it is
now or ever can be while monopohzed.
I observe that you fad it incon-
vsnient to make any reply to thus

article / presented two propositions
which, aside from all other Consid-
erations, If sustained, are alone fatal
20 your theory that the single-tsx Is
q proper aud efficient cure for land
monopoly. They are as follows:
(D That the single-tsx, like all
other taxes, would be shiftsble from
landlord to tenant as long as land
lords and tenants exist.
(2) That the only way in which the
landlord can be affected by the
single-tax is through the tenant.
That taxes must be raised to absorb
Che entire proceeds of the land or
possible profits Of business conducted
upon the city lot, leaving nothing to
the tenant, and thereby compelling
him TO abandon the land or lot as
the case may be, before the landlord
can be compelled to pay the tax from
his reserve capital, and thus force
him to forfeit his holding. The pro-
posed remedy for a great evil there
fore involves a greater evil, viz, in
creased hardship and starvation to
Che tenant and his family.
/ believe b 9TH Of these propositions
are tensble, and I have looked in
vain through your rather lengthy
letter for a satisfactory answer to
them. Here is q statement relative
TO the first one which I am surprised
TO zee coming from you, You say:
have yet to hear OF any economist Of
note, or auy recognized authority on the
question, who does not hold that tax on
lsndlordism is unsuitable, and the only
unsuitable tax.
Who constituted these economists
authority upon this or any other sub
iect3 Are they inspired and infal-
liblei Do you not know that many
Of the greatest economic errors ever
taught the people have had the sane
tion Of these same noted economists
/ am we'll aware that you do. The
question with us is, not what any
other uninspirsd writer has said upor
this subject, but what are the facts
These we must determine for our
selves.
In your article published Nov. 28
you say:
The Astor family have q united income
OF over S26 900 per day from real estat
rents over and above the taxes on Fea
estate. Who pays the AstOr's taxesH Is i
GhaiP labor that is taxed or that Of thei
tsnants2
In your article published Nov. q
you say:
., Who pays the taxes on William Sculleg'
10000 acres of farming land in Illinois
Ksnsas, Nebraska and DakOta9 His ten
ants Of course.
And yet you now say these taxel
are unsuitable. It will not do To-
you to say that the pingle-tsx woult
change the relations Of landlord snt
tenant 80 as to remove the burden o
the landlords taxes from the tenant
FOR you very we'll know that SO Ions

The advocate., 1894-12-26

DIerS, ana Wn8GeVef II IS, the f&fmel
must take it or nothing. Give hin
the power to fix the price of his OWL
products and you would then se'
whether he would include taxes az
an item Of cost Of production and
charge them up to the consumer.
Now, before leaving this part of the
subject, I will return to what yor
seem to regard as almost an sxlo
matte demonstration that the single.
tax cannot be shifted from landlord
to tenant. You say:
Land, being a fixed quantity, the suppl!
cannot be diminished 10 raise the price tC
include he tax, which ia the only method BY
which taxes on any product of labor ever
have been or ever can be collected, re
gardless Of how the tax is LEVIED.
To this I only need answer that {
monopoly Of anything enables the
monopolist to raise the price arbi.
trarily tUithOWt amy regard to Qatan
tjty. There is such a monopoly oi
land to-day and the single taxel
admits it when he proposes the single
tax as a remedy for it; and hence
your claim in this regard Is utterly
without force.
l now pass to the second PROPOSE
ton which, in substance, is that the
only way the landlord can be affected
by the single-tax is by squeezing the
tenant. / made this sufficiently clear
in my last article, but 1 will notice
here some of your attempted answers
to my argument. Speaking of Lore
Soulley as an example, you say:
demonstrated that Lord SOullsy Ooul'
not raise tents when more land becam,
available for use.
There is the rub, and there il
wherein your demonstration" turns
out to be no demonstration at all
No more land would become avail
able for use by the operation of the
single tax until tenants have beer
compelled to give it up by rise o
rents, and until landlords, sfterWardI
compelled to pay taxes from thei
reserve capital, would be forced tc
abandon their holdings. Flfty.tW,
per cent Of the American people ar
now tenants, and the number is in
creasing every day. Will you tel
me where the land is, roV WnOccu
pied, for these people to go to wher
their landlords begin to increase tn,
burden of rent? You add:
Your contention that tenants would pa
increased rents because they would hRv
nowhere else to 60 where they could d
better is not good, for they WOULD hsv
somewhere else to go-they could 60 TO Oh
vacant land Of which there would be plent!
I do not wish to be misunderstood
in my position upon this question
shall not pretend to say that ther
is no unoccupied land remaining il
this country. I shall not pretend t,
say that all that is occupied is con
verted to it's best use. I shall no
pretend to say that the possible re
sources of the land have ever ye
} been fairly tested. I believe thi
The advocate., 1894-12-26

Under the existing system real estate
and all improvements are taxed.
Under the proposed single tax sys-
tenn isnd values alone, irrespective Of
improvements, would be subject to
taxation. This is all. HOw would
such a change deprive the landlord
Of the power to shift his taxes to his
tenant, so long as he has q tenants
Please be explicit IN your answer to
this question.
Again: With a certain class Of
tensnts-manufacturers and mer-
chants who occupy rented property
the taxes are again shiftsble to con-
sumers of products. This you admit
In your present article as follows:
And yet, in one sense, it is true that taxes
on high value city lots are paid By pur-
Ohssers Of goods sold or manufactured upon
these lots, just as il is true that all items in
cost Of production enter into price TO anal
consumer, for selling goods is as much pro-
duotlon as making them. This, however,
is a Quibble and not argument.
It is q matter Of the most perfect
Indifference to me what you call it,
80 long as you admit the fact. You
may name it quibble, or give it an
other name If you can find one that
suits you better. The fact remains
that the tax is shiftable, first from
the landlord to the tenant, and Sec
ond, with this class OF tenants, again
shiftable from tenant to consumer Of
products and you admit this. In no
case can the landlord be made to pay
it while tenants continue to occupy
his premises aud pay rent to him.
In another place you say:
think I denied that high rents Of city
lots are shifted TO purchasers Of goods in
stores located on them. At any rate that is
my position, and il Is a sound one, because,
as rule the cheapest goods are sold on the
highest priced land, the high price Of rents
IN the heart of great city being the resul'
Of the greater number Of sales which can
be made in suOh a location.
It strikes me that this does not hsr-
monize very we'll with the quotation
just previous to it. Are you not get
ting tangled upon this pointG I de-
sire to ask also Whist difference il
makes about the number and amount
of sales made by the merchant To-
Gated upon high value city lots SC
far as shifting taxes to purchasers is
concerned? The only effect of this
would be the wider distribution Of
the tax. Nor can you compare the
prices Of goods sold by merchants To-
Gated upon the high.priCed lots on
State street in Chicago with prices
Of corresponding goods sold by mer
chants located upon cheaper lots
upon Kansas avenue in Topeka, to
prove that the high rents of Chicago
are not paid by purchasers of goods.
You state the reason why the Obi
cago merchant is able to pay the high
rents and still undersell the TopekG
merchant. It is because he makes
more sales, not because each of those

The law of finding is not gener-
ally understood, but it was declar-
ed many years ago, and it is well
to note the case and decision. A
visitor to store found a wallet
containing a sum of money. He
handed the wallet and contents to
the merchant to be returned to the
owner. After three years, the own
er having failed to appear, the
finder demanded the wallet and
the money from the merchant.
The latter refused to deliver them
OH the ground that they were found
on his premises. The finder then
sued the shopkeeper. It was de-
cided that, against all the world
but the owner, the title of the
finder is perfect. The receiver of
an article found is only a trustee,
first of the owner then of the find
er, if the owner does not appear.
The receiver has no more right to
keep an article against the finder
than the finder has to keep it
against the owner.

Panama Women Marry and Separate
by Their Own Laws.
Divorces are rare in Panama, and
everywhere else on the isthmus," said
the old traveller. as be threw away his
Mazatlan cigar and lighted fresh one.
"Why?" asked a New York Journal
man.
Because marriages are rare.
People live celibate lives thereY'
by no means. Large families are
the rule there. Bnt the women have
peculiar notions. They find that hus-
bands to whom they are legally tied are
apt to be cruel and tyrannical, 80 they
decide not to marry. Instead, they
simply take up their abode with the
man of their choice, minister to his
wants and rear his children, all without
the aid Of the priest.
Immoral? Perhaps, but they don't
mean it to be. They simply want to he
in condition to be free, if freedom be-
comes necessary. So long as the man
is kind they remain with him, and the
point wish to make is that as rule
these irregular unions last during life.
1t is only when one party or the other is
grossly unsatisfactory that a separation
takes place. Such separations on the
isthmus are comparatively rare-much
rarer than legal divorces in our states.
United States judges, you know, are
appointed, for life or during good be-
havior. Among the masses on the
isthmns husbands are chosen the same
way."

THE Tx QUESTION.

That notes and personal property are
not generally given in to the assessor,
and consequently pay no taxes cannot
be disputed. So far no scheme has been
proposed to overcome this iniquity prob
ably because our Legislators overlook it
or do not care to hurt the feelings of
those who own them. The theory of
American taxation is correct enough,
but the practice has divided the people
into two classes, the tax payers and the
tax dodgers. The tax paying class. as a
rule, is composed of people owning
from few hundred to thirty or forty
thousand dollars. Above the latter sum
the taxes amount to so much that the
taxpayers can't just bear to pay it. Real
estate is of course visible and cannot
escape only SO far as it can be done by
giving it low values, but notes, accounts
and property of that kind are easily
hidden, and go do not pay their pro-
portion of taxes. On this item alone a
few years ago, Umatilla county returned
more than two thirds as much as Multi
nomah. The remedy is simple and
should be applied. Let the legislature
pass an act making such contracts nom
collectable until they are stamped by
the tax collector, showing that the taxes
had been paid. A man should pay tax
according to his ability to do go, but
under the present system this is far
from being the rule. The tax dodger
should be brought up to the rack, and
made to pay just the same as every body
else. Such law as we have suggested
would go long ways towards accom-
plishing this result.-Dalles Chronicle.
