LOCAL OPTION IN TAXATION

The San francisco Examiner is in
favor of an amendment to the constitu-
ton of the state providing for local op
ton in taxation. This attitude is in har-
mony with that of some of the most in
fluential papers of the east. including the
World and the Times of New York.
Local option in taxation would be at
tanned by permitting each county to de-
eide for itself how its taxes should be
imposed. 1t is an essentially Democratic
proposition, being entirely in accordance
with the theory of local self-government.
The power of taxation is the most i'm
portant delegated to government. and
its exercise should be of the kind most
satisfactory to the people taxed: Peo-
pie view the subject of taxation differ
emily, and the things that a majority of
the voters of one county would tax the
same proportion of voters in another
county would prefer to exempt from tax
alton. Under the operation of a local
option provision of the constitution if
is quite certain that Los Angeles count,-
would exempt manufacturing establish
ments from taxes. The people of this
county are particularly desirous of hav-
ing enterprises of that character in their
midst, and it would not take long for
them to see the unwisdom of fining, in the
name of taxation, the individual or cor
poration that desired to set up and mai,,-
tain factory. 1t is also probable that
certain classes of Improvements would
be speedily exempted from taxation.
The tax on Improvements on real proper
ty affects most unpleasantly the class Of

| people who earn their living in the build
| ing lines, for such a tax distinctly dis
courages the making of improvements.
Anything that retards building or bur
dens industrial enterprises is inimical to
labor.
Here is what the Monarch has to say
on the subject:
The single takers are engaged in an
active, though quiet campaign for the
adoption In this state of the principle
of the exclusive taxation of land values.
Ten thousand voters have signed pc
tition to the legislature asking for the
enactment of such measures as may
result in the collection of all public
municipal-from the value of land, ire
spective of improvements in or on it.
and for the abolition of all other taxes
now levied for this purpose"
The first of these measures. of course,
would be a resolution submitting a con-
stitutional amendment altering the
present rigid requirements of the con-
stitution by which all Improvements
must be subjected to fine. regardless of
their usefulness to the community.
Whatever differences of opinion may
exist about the single tax theory in the
abstract, there ought to be no objection
to the submission of well-drawn
The question Of taxation is one eminent
ly fitted for settlement by popular vote.
Our taxing system has been repeatedly
amended by the people, and generally
for the better. The merchants of San
Francisco are now working for the ex-
emption of ships. which. as far as it
goes is directly in line with the single
tax movement The farmers have al
ready secured the exemption of young
trees and vines. They may be prepared
now to go further.
1t would certainly be we'll to amend
the constitution at least to the extent
of permitting local option in selecting
the objects of taxation. That is an idea
which is accepted by most students of
taxation in the east, including not only
single takers. but conservative college
professors and business men. If every
county were allowed to decide for itself
how its taxes should be imposed there
would be some valuable experiments,
and we should soon have the materials
for an enlightened judgment as to the
best methods.
