Who Is to Blame?

The bureau of labor statistics has is.
sued a bulky report on taxation in Illi-
nois, with intent to show that the
property of the rich does not pay it's
proportion of the tax. The names Of
over one thousand owners of Chicago
business property are given, together
with the assessed value Of their hold
ings for three different years. Some
of the million dollar sky scrapers are
assessed at $40, 900 or $50, 600. Letters
big building on State street, which
pays an interest on "a. 900, 900, is as
sessed for less than 5000, 900. The sta
tistics also show that the railroads
only have 81, 163, 900 of Chicago real
estate in 1893, while they had 81, 72O,-
600 worth in 1873! The averag, rail.
road assessment is little more than
half what it was twenty years ago,
and the light, power and transporta-
ton companies are assessed in some
cases at less than ten. per cent. of their
stock. According to the
books the real estate in Adams county
has shrunk in value from sig, 591, 900 in

Addresses on Taxation.

An audience of about two hundred
people gathered in the public square
Monday evening to hear Messrs. Robt.
Baker and G. w. Thompson, of Brook
Ign, deliver addresses in support of the
Single tax" by which it is proposed
to collect all taxes for the support OF
the government from land and abso~
lutely exempt all kinds of personal
property from every form of taxation.
And in the category of personal prop
erty' thus to be exempted they in"
eluded houses and buildings of all
kinds, though in all transfers of real
estate the buildings on a lot rank as
part of the real estate. The gentlemen
gave very interesting talks; and all en-"
joyed them, but we doubt if any one
changed ~preconceived views on ac-
count Of what they heard. In fact,
the speakers themselves admitted that
the subject would not be likely to in
terest the residents of a country town
like Marlborough to the extent that it
would the denizens of the large cities.
No one who listened to the addresses
could doubt the honesty Or the earn
estness of the speakers, but we do not
believe they will ever convince the
country farmer that their system Of
taxation would be an improvement on
the present. If New York people can
be made to see it differently, SO much
the better for the single taxers.'--
Marlborough IN. " Record.
Whether these gentlemen will ever
be able to convince the country farm
err of the injustice of their views w
can not say, %(although it would seem
that as the value of farm land in this
state is very snail it ought not to be
a diffcut"matter) but we feel conf
dent that the city farmers, those who
farm vacant lots with old shoes and
tin cans, will have none of the single
tax. as it would undoubtedly compel
them to use their land.-[ED.

How to Build q City.

statesman, said: II can not play on any
stringed instrument. but I can tell you
how of a little village to make a great
and glorious CITY,"
To make a still greater city of At
lanta. seems to be the desire of many
citizens at this time. But their plans
are based on se~lf-interest alone.
First of all, to repeal all laws which
tax the manufacturer on his building,
his machinery or his products. Guar
antee perpetual immunity from city
taxes to all manufacturers who are
now here, OF who may hereafter de-
sire to locate with us. Secondly, we
would provide for the deficit in the
revenues of the city government by
assessing each and every vacant lot
within the corporate limits al its full
market value. We would empower the
city government. by Legislative amend
ments to the city charter, to cause
land holders to value their holdings of
vacant property for taxation, at Just
what they were willing to sell them

The Question of Taxation.

Take the great question Of taxation,
i problem which, quite aside from the
point upon w .ich parties are divided,
is every yes assuming larger and
more ominousl proportions. In nearly
all all u states we find a forest of in
tricate legislation aiming at the impos-
sible task of finding intangible and
non-visible property, and exacting
from 1t a tribute which in a vast num-
Der of cases would amount to confisca-
ton if it were really collected. The
unsuccessful efforts are followed by
additional enactments OF increased
rigor, bristling with penalties for eva.
sion, and in most instances the only
results of the more stringent laws are
to increase perjury and diminish the
actual revenues received. It is amaz-
ing to think that enlightened states
should persist in retaining an intricate
system of taxation, even after it has
proved to be abortive for its avowed
objects. The failure to fully reach the
real fund Of annual production neces-
states an exorbitant charge upon
what is reached, and the alternatives
offered to many are ~confscation, en-
igration or perjury, the latter being
the one most frequently accepted.
It seems incomprehensible that a
people could deliberately adopt a pol
icy which fosters the increase of crime,
contempt for the laws, and the debase-
Lent of character. In some commune
ties, notably in the city of New York,
the impossibility of q general and
equal enforcement of the law and the
revolving injustice of q partial effort
have had the effect of leading the ex-
ecutive officers to wholly abandon any
serious attempt at a rigid enforcement
And yet these worse than useless re-
of legislative action seem no.
where to lead to any serious inquiry
into the real nature of the difficulty,
with the view of establishing legisla-
ton upon a more enlightened basis, in
accordance with the principles Of hui
man nature and the teachings of eco
nomic science.-Address OF Pres. Jas.
Carter to the American Bar Associa-
ton. |
