before the magistrate that on Aug. 3 the
deceased was taking comb and brush be-

we may pass that point without fur

else we might say would be to a great
extenta repetition Of what we have
already said; and, as there must be a
limit to this discussion, we can afford
to let the arguments upon that point
stand for what they are worth.
In your present letter you fail to
take notice of what I actually said
relative to vacant land, for you OBJ
serve:
lam glad that you have at last been
driven to deny that any considerable area
or value Of land is now held idle on speCu-
latiOn.
Think you hardly wish to be under
stood that all land which is simply
vacant is available for the immediate
refuge of our tenant population the
moment they are free to occupy it,
having no regard either to the char
acter or condition of the land or the
resources of the people concerned.
To be 80 available, two things are
certaioly necessary. Q) The land

vious outlay, Of yielding support to
its occupants; and, ~ the tenant
population who are to avail them.
selves of it, must De able to remove
to it and make such improvements as
are required TO cause 1t to yield the
necessary support
Your argument based upon popu-
lstion per square mile as compared
with that of EOglsnd has no force,
because this depends solely upon the
larger subdivisions Of land occuoied
by individuals in this country. Were
there anything in this argument you
might have added to it's force by COM
psrlng our population per square
mile with that Of China instead Of
England. Certainly no one will be
foolish enough to claim that the land
10 this country has been brought to
its highest state of cultivation, or
that it might not be subdiuded into
much smaller parcels aud made to
support population probably hun
dred times greater than the present.
The fact is, it is not now 30 subdi-
vided or 50 occupied.
You proceed to enumerste large
tracts of land held by spectators
that would at once become available

would continue il the land you have
enumerated were added to that OF

ment
But 1 shall pass by large part of
your present letter, for the reason
that we have been over the ground
before, and proceed to some other
considerations. You have several
times reminded me that if / have
better plan for the cure of existing
evils than that Of the slngle-tsx, it IS
my duty to present it. I believe this
discussion has reached q point where
it is proper and right that l should
do 80; aud will therefore make a
beginning. / trust that we are not
writing for the mere sake of contro-
versy. Whatever may be the merit
or demerit of what we say, I believe
that we are agreed in the hope that
we may be led to see the truth and to
pursue the best method for the gen.
ersl good. We agree pretty we'll as
to the ultimate objects desirable OF
attainment, and we differ chiefly as
to the methods. 1t is proper that our
proposed methods shonld be sub.
mitted for comparison in order that
their respective merits aud dement's
may appear.
wish to observe at this point that
a just system of providing public
revenues constitutes one of the most
difficult subjects with which the fu-
ture statesman has to deal. He Wonld
be q bold man, indeed, who would
claim for any theoretical system that
lit is free from defects and embodies
all the perfections requisite to meet
the many difficulties involved. The
most that can be hoped for in our
theorizing is to direct public thought
in the line of correct principles, lesv-
ing to thoss upon whom the duty
may divolve, the task of working out
details in their practical application
Under the changed and better indus
trial and economic system which you
and I alike believe to be possible,
and which we desire to be brought
about, ] seriously doubt that the plan
OF raising public revenues by taxing
the people upon what they possess is
either correct IN principle or juOt in
practice. I will not enlarge upon this
thought now as my reason for this
view will appear hereafter.
All mankind are alike equally en-
titled to possession and use of land
and other resources of nature This
is natural right and not a right
conferred by society. You and all
other singls-taxerS will agree with
me thus far. Now, I present as a
corollsry to this proposition that So
ciety, or government, cannot justly
tax the individual for the possession
OF that which it is his natural right
to possess. Government is no more
justified in levying q tax upon land,
or upon the use Of land, than it
The advocate., 1895-01-09


which do not belong to it by nature,
and that society has theref IRE the
right to all the benefits of the sup.
posed artificial value thus conferred;
but the right to tax that value, il it
exists, Is based upon the presumed TO
tax GlIlsnd values whatever they may
be; and this involves the very princi-
pie in controversy. Before you can
establish the right to tax any sup
posed artificial value which you may
hold has been conferred upon land
by society, you must first establish
the right to tax the original vslne of
which this artificial value is merely an
increase.
Again, it is quite a question if, in
reality, society confers any such arti.
fetal value upon land as it is sup
posed to DO. It is quite a question
If this idea is not one of the supersti.
tions belonging to that false and Vi
cious social and economic system
which we desire to supercede with a
better one. 1t Is quite a question il,
under that better system, the lodi
nduals constituting society would
not be located with reference to the
service which they are to render So
ciety rather than with reference to
any particular advantage to them.
selves. In fsot, they are so located
to large extent now, only we have
not yet learned to refer thsir location
to its real cause If, under q correct
social and industrial system we
should be led to such conclusion as
this, 1t is quite q question If any srti-
ticlsl value such as Is now presumed
TO exist, could be attached to one
piece of land above another that
should subject it to a greater tax
which the occupant would be re-
quired to pay.
But before proceeding to discuss
the question Of public revenues 1t
will be proper for me to indicate by
what method l would cure the evil of
land monopoly. We agree that
land is the heritage Of al mankind
and that it should be reclaimed from
the aVsricious grasp of land monop.
ollsts and rehored to the people.
You propose to accomplish this by
a single-tax on land which [ regard
as an unjustifable tax. I would ac-
complish it by the direct exercise Of
the power of the people in taking
possession Of that which rightfully
belongs to them This is general
statement of method divested of all
details. These details must neces.
ssrlly be varied according to the cir
cumstunces of individual cases. In
many instances, such as railroad land
grants which have not been disposed
of to private individuals, and 10 all
cases where land has been acquired
by fraud, there should be immediate
and absolute dispossession. Just
how far this method would be the
proper one to pursue, / will not now
take it upon myself to say. That
there are instances where a different
policy should be pursued, l am salts
fed. The main obj-ct is the restor-
alton of the land to the people by the
quickest and most direct method;

The San Francisco call., 1895-12-24
A DETERMINED POLICE.

Police Chief Crowley announced to the
public through an interview published in
yesterdays CALL that he would pursue the
illegal poolroom gamblers to the end.
Certainly the large number of arrests that
he has caused to be made and the care
which he has taken to secure evidence
against them indicate that he is in earnest.
His construction of the effect which Judge
Wallace's decision may have on some of
these gamblers is matter in which he un-
doubtedly is willing to be guided by the
City's prosecuting attorneys.
There is not an intelligent citizen who
will fail to appreciate the embarrassing
position in which the Police Department is
placed. On one hand it has the Wallace
decision and the Solid Eight of the Board
of Supervisors, and on the other clear
knowledge of the infamy represented by
the downtown poolrooms and an earnest
desire of the respectable part of the COM
munity to suppress it. The Police Depart
ment is subordinate branch of the City
government. Not only are its leading
members under bonds and answerabe
for damages which corrupt influences may
prove able to exact, but it is not sure that
in trying to bring about decency it will re-
ceive sufficient support from respectable
citizens. Recent disclosures have COM
PEELED the public to realize that the mu-
nicipal officer who tries to do his duty
finds himself overwhelmed by the corrupt
influence of disreputable boss politics.
The only strong official organization
repr esenting the decent sentiment of the
people is the Grand Jury. Its efforts to
correct existing evils have been heroic,
though for the most part Intellectual. In
the Board of Supervisors there is stanch
minority of four battling faithfully but
hopelessIy against the overwhelming
power of consolidated eight. The Grand
Jury has only the power to discover rot
tenness; it cannot control the legal ma
chlnery constructed to punish evil. The
Police Department has seemed jealous to
accomplish the ends which the work of
the Grand Jury is aimed to achieve, and
for that reason it deserves popular sup
port. The department should realize that
it has great power and heavy public re-
sponsibility; that in its assaults upon i'm
moral and dangerous practices it need have
no fear of encountering antagonism which
will prove formidable, and that the day is
at hand when honest public servants may
not only dare to do right but may de-
pend upon just public reward OF merit.
