no direct proposition to lay before the

1900 are employed in this industry
outside the prison. Before any action
Is taken in the matter it is highly
probable that the labor commission
will endeavor to prepare detailed fig

now considers there Is practically
nothing for 1t to do in the matter. The

necessary details for this distribu-

sibly arise that will neCessltate any
change in your pIan3 Your method
Of argument by devoting your entire
attention TO my failure to work out
these details instead Of giving a little
thought to general principles, would
imply that your own system is per-
feet and infallible in this respect and
that no future modification Of it can
become necessary under any change
of circumstances whatever. Take
this statement which / find in your
present letter:
You say the Single'bsx plan does not pro-
vide access 10 land in growing population
any better than your plan does. think it
does, by opening upon equal terms 20 all
persons all the land there is, and am at a
loss TO see how more oan be done thsn this.
Now, that is q fair statement Of
fact. Nothing more can be done in
advance under any system. The diff
ficulties that will arise under a grow
ing population and under other cir
cumstances which we cannot foresee,
must bs left for adjustment when
they arise. You have here unwit-
tingly sanctioned everything l have
said about these matters of detail.
Now be kind enough TO give little
thought to this fast: the system l
have proposed of reclsiming all lands
by direct process differs from your
plan only in the method OF obtaining
possession Of them. My plan, as
we'll as yours, "opens upon equal
terms to all persons ell the land there
is," and while you say of the single
tax that you are "at loss to see how
more can be done than this" you
find fault with me because I do not
20 on and work ont all the details Of
q far distribution providing against
any future and unforeseen contin-
genCy that may arise.
I have dWelt upon this point be-
cause il has seemed impossible fol
you to get out Of this method Of rea-
soning. / must notice one other
statement in this connection and ]
trust it may not then be necessary to
refer to this subject again. You say
you would distribute this land "by
requiring payment Of its rental value
into the public treasury in place ol
all other forms of taxation"
Need I remind you that this indi

out the landlords, these resident land
owners will be frozen out as well BY
the additional burdens imposed upon
them. It is an indirect and cruel
method of doing that which should
be done directly and without Cere-
mony.
(b) The great fundamental prin-
Ciple upon which il is sought to JUS
tify the single-tax is that 1t is an ab-
sOlutely unsuitable tax and the only
one that can be unsuitable. I have
shown that il is shiftable and you
have been compelled to admit 1t. The
very basis upon which the system is
supposed to rest, is therefore knocked
from under it.
(c) I have shown that any just
and equitable revenue system must
recognize the necessities of the pub
lie service as the basis of the reve-
nues to be raised, and that the single
tax does not conform to this require
ment. Instead Of first ascertsining
the amount of revenue required and
then levying a tax sufi 9ient and only
sufficient for the purpose, the single
taxer proposes to levy a tax upon
land sufficient to destroy land mo-
nopoly without regard to the amount
of revenue it would yield. / have
asked you, in case this should fall
short Of the required amount, how
you would provide Cor the deficiency?
II it should exceed the required
amount how would you expend the
surplusl You do not choose TO
reply.
(1 I have shown that as a system
of revenue the single-tsx Is unreli-
able. When the landlord shall sur
render his land rather than suomit
to the burdensome taxation, the reve-
nues will stop until the system can
be rsadiusted to the new conditions,
and, up to this time at least, the sys-
tenn would only be an instrument OF
added hardship to every sctnsl tiller
of the soil. How its resdj justmsnt to
the new conditions would affsct this
class is another question, and one
that neither Of us has yet referred TO.
We have only considered the effects
Of the system as applied to existing
conditions.

much better and far more simple sys-
tenn than this. It contemplates the
