Says There is No Rent to Tax.

MORRIsvILLE, Pa.
EDITOR TAX REFORM STUDIES:
Sir-Economic rent certainly exists
and would exist V under conditions
of freedom: but, for several reasons,
the community should not take it
away from those who gather it.
i. 1t amounts to so little that it
would scarcely bear the expense of
collecting.
3. The evils attending the collection
of it would be greater than the evil OF
allowing it to remain in the hands of
those who gather it.
3. 1t has a tendency to vanish of its
own accord.
4. 70 take away the economic rent
discourages enterprise in developing
new points of vantage.
5. The community can find no good
excuse for taking away economic rent.
They do not give it.; their presence
gives it. Even if the community did
give it, that would not be a good rea-
son for taking it away. There is no
foundation for the claim that economic
rent belongs to the community. 1t
plainly belongs to the man that gets
it without interfering with the equal
freedom of others to control them
selves and tine results Of their self-ex-
ertion.
But there is q kind of rent that is
given by the community through

When the traces are not in line with

Lengthening the hitcn slightly de.

per cent. over a new share. A dull
snare drew harder than a sharp one,
but not as hard as a badly-shurpened
share. Draught decreases with the
depth and with the width per souare

Walking plows gave slightly less
draught than sulky plows with rider.
Snlky plows drew easier down hill, but
much harder up hill than walking
plows. A share straight on it's land

dirt road in its ordinary condition after
a rain.
A load over the hind wheels drew 10

Lowering the reach, or the coupling
