TEE SINGLE TAX.
NO. Vim.

your letter this week with surprise
and with no little modification. II
you have arrived at a point in this
discussion where it is necessary for
you to misstste my position in order
10 maintain your own, I fear little
good can come from il. l dislike
very much to believe that you would
do this Intentionally, and yet the in-
stances Of il are so fragrant in this
letter that I am at q loss to see how
you could have been innocentlY mis-
led. Let us see. Speaking of the
landlord system, You say:
II Gving maay small landlords instead Of
few large ones has been thoroughly tried
In Belgium, the most densely populated
country Ia Europe, and IL is a total failure
SheCe, the ten acre landlord living in lux
uFious ease from the unrequitsd toll Of the
landlesS poor, VII 10 the latter are subj ,Ot &c
numerous end buEdensome direct and indi-
EeOs taxes to eat up their scsuty earningS,
In another place you say:
BsOlsiming certain forfeited grants and
speculative tracts TO be given 20 other, and
perhaps, smaller landlords is in NO sense
change u the present system.
Now, You must certainly know that
I mot only never advocated any such
thing as this, but, on the contrary,
distinctly and emphaticslly declared
shat GlI lands held oWt of use or held
for rent should be reclaimed, whether
held by large or small landlords, aud
the same made available for use by
actual settlers. What is your motive
in seeking thus to pervert my posi-
tion and mlsConstrue my language,
and what do you expect to gain by
iti I would absolutely abolish rent
in every form, whether to large or
small landlords, while you ssy "rent
IL q law Of the universe which even an
improved social state is poWsrless TO
abolish, and it must go on, either to
Che landlord or the public" This /
deDy, and the burden Of proof rests
with you. Where do you find this
"laW OF the uniVerseW I should like
to see the table Of stone upon which
itis inscribed.
You ask if I am quite consistent
in saying that use OF land is nat
ural right and yet discriminating
between che large and the small
spectators and landlords, saying the
lands held by the former should be
reclaimed for use of actual settlers,
bnt not those held by small landlords
as q sort Of savings bank, or inheri-
tsnces Of widows, orphans, ETC."
You must know very well that /
never said anything of the kind. /
distinctly said that all lands should
Be reclaimed for use of actual set
tlers, and the discrimination I men
tiOned was in the method Ct reclaim
ing them. 1 said, il my judgment, it
would not be strictly just to take the
lands OF the small holderswho have in
vested their small savings, orthe small
inherltanees of widows and orphans

fact that a suggestion Of distribution
by area is fully as definite and as
as comprehensive as your suggestion
of distribution by UoEWe. I would
further call your attention to the fact
that your very definite and very In
fallible single tax system provides no
plan of distribution adapted to a
growing population, that would In
sure access to land to all men as the
numbers Of the people continue TO
multiply. II you are going to be SO
very exact in all matters Of detail, ]
suggest this one as affording a far
opportunity for the exercise of your
ingenuity.
One moro. I called attention last
week to the necessity of adapting any
system of taxation that might be
adopted, to the necessities Of the
public service. The actual require
ments of the service being Arst de.
termined, the tax levy under any just
system, should be 80 made 90 to yield
the amount of revenue required, as
nearly as possibl avoiding either a
deficiency or a surplus. I called at
tention to the fact that the single.
tax system does not conform to this
requirement. 1t is not based upon
the necessities of the public service
at all, and it is absolutely indefinite
in respect to the amount Of revenue
it would yield. You srtfully dodge
this proposition by the intimation
that | have at one time SAID that the
single.tsx would be likely to yield
more than enough revenue, and at
another time that it would be likely
to yield less. Perhaps this may be
true. It's very Indebtedness might
easily lead one to such q contradic-
tion; but I wish to remind you that
if it is true it does not relieve you Of
your difficulty. My point is that the
single, tax does not take into account
the necessities of the public service
as basis OF the amount of taxation.
You start ont with the proposition
to levy tax sufficient to absorb the
rent that goes to the landlord, or to
express it in the language of your
platform:
Ii would be tax, not on the use and i'm
prOvement Cf land, but on the ownership
of land, taking what would otherwise 90 to
the owner as owner, and not as user.
And this without any reference to
the needs Of the public service bat
with sole reference to the destruction
of land monopoly. I submit ~ that
there can be no mems Of determin-
ing the rate of taxation necessary for
the purposes Indicated; and (2) that
no estimate can be made of the
amount of revenue the system would
yield. When landlords should sur
render their lands rather thsn pay
the tax, the amount levied would fall
short. Tho question arises: if the
revenues from the single tax should
be insufficient for the public needs
The advocate., 1895-01-30

peTsIstency IN the present letter IN
misConstruing my language quote
again:
Moreover your plan does not eliminate
that worst bane Of industrY-speoullt ltion--
getting something for nothing through un-
earned increment, or appropriation Of land
values produced by all TO benefit only the
land owner.
Your mistake here lies in the ap-
plication Of facts which are peculiar
to our present system, to another and
different system under which such
facts could not exist. Under the sys-
tenn which I have proposed there
could be no such thing as speculs-
ton in land. I have before called
your attention to the fact that under
such a system there could be no such
thing as land values produced by So
ciety. These values" as you choose
to call them, belong to the existing
system under which one position pos-
seses advantages for purposes of
spoilstion over another. All that you
say respecting the distinction be-
tween value and price may be dis
posed of in like manner. This is a
distinction belonging to orr present
land system that would entirely dis
appear under the system have pro-
posed. When land is no logger
bought and sold there will be no such
thing as price in connection wish
land.
Another popularity of your present
letter lies in your appeal to the praju-
dices rather than the reason of the
reader by calling my plan ''commun-
ism," thereby, as it would seem, seek
ing to attach to it any odium that
may have become associated with
that name through a lack of under
standing Of its true Significance. The
government owner-hip and operation
Of railroads, telegrsphs and other
monopolies is not communism, nor
anything like it. You ought to know
this, and I think you do.
Here is another of your PROPOSE.
tions:
You say that a natural right should NOT
be taxed, hence I infer that you
would raise all revenues from a tax on the
exercise of UNuatursl rights.
Why quibble in this way9 Did I
not distinctly state that l would raise
revenues, not by taxation, but as a
payment for actual services rendered
to the people, and cite the revenue
now derived from our postal system
IS an example? I quote again:
Do y6u think the power to exclude all
mankind from the use of an unusually val
liable piece Of land a natural rightG
Under correct land system no in
dividusl could exclude all the bal
snce Of mankind from the use of an
unusually valuable piece of land, ex-
cept by occupying it himself; and
under such a system no piece of
land would possess any unusual
value that nature did not give it.
These natural diversities of value
The advocate., 1895-01-30

has not been the primary object.
These conditions belong to q system
which I believe we ought to get rid
of, and 10 doing so, of course, there
are difficulties to be encountered. I
would by no means pretend that this
discrimination is in perfect harmony
with the broad principle Of the nat
ursl right to occupancy and use Of
land, and I have never made any
such pretension. These small hold
ings are a part Of the general condi-
tion that has grown up under false
and miscbieVous land system which
you and I agree is wrong. The ques-
tion is how best aud most squitsbly
to get rid Of these conditions in q re-
adjustment. I can see a difference
between an investment that repre-.
sents the savings of individual in.
dustry, and one that represents the
spoils gathered from the toll of other
men; and although it may be re-
gsrded as not in strict harmony with
the great principle of equality of
right to access to land, I think such
a departure ls perfectly iushfsble IN
getting out Of the existing system
and into better one. This discrim-
ination is justified also by the single
tax platform itself which declares
that leach man is entitled to all that
his labor producss;' for if this be
true the return Of the investment to
one to whom it represents the pro-
duct of his own toll, while declining
to return the other investment which
represents the spolistlon Of other
men is not such discrimination as q
single.tSxer can consistently object
to.
Again; I have no objection to your
proposition to limit the amount of
the investment that shall be exempt
from the method that may justly be
employed In reclsiming the holdings
Of the large landlords, though l am
satisfied the limitation should not
be to as small an amount as you sug-
gest. AS stated before, I think the
adjustment Of these details may be
safely left to be governed by the me-
cessitiss and the educated public SEN
timent OF the times. Neither your
plan nor mine can be carried out
until there has been a far more OK.
tensive education of public sentiment
than at present exists, and much will
depend, in any re.sdiustment that
may hereafter be effected, upon cir
Cumstancss and influences that we
cannot now forssee. Why, then,
quibble about these matters Of small
detsllG Is it not enough for the
present to discuss general principles,
leaving such details to be determined
by the circumstances winch Will in.
evitably dete mine them whatever we
now say or do? We're l to devote
my space, as you seem inclined to do,
to quibbllng in respect to these mat
ters of detail instead of to the disens.
