SOCIAL PESTS.

The above are among the curious
features of New Zealand's land system.
The New Zealanders do not believe in
large holdings. and they are doing all
that they can to have their country di-
vided up into small farms. They call
the large land holder a social pest,
and scruple not to tell him that they
will be glad to have him leave the
country They tax him in every way
possible to get him to leave, and If he
is an absentee. living in Europe or
elsewhere, they so pile on the taxes
that he has to sell.
At present absentee property owners
are charged 20 per cent more taxes
than those living in New Zealand, and
the taxes rise in proportion to the
amount of land one man owns.
Everything is done to encourage
small farmers. The man whose income
is less than $1,000 a year goes scott
free, paying no taxes He whose farm
is worth only $500 is exempt, and if
his estate is worth $500 he pays taxes
on only $1,000 of it's valuation. The tax
is assessed on the unimproved valua-
ton. The man who takes poor farm
and brings it up to high state of Gull
tlNdtlOn pays only OH what lile ltuu was
worth when he first plowed it, and his
buildings and improvements are only
taxed through the income which they
bring him when this is over $1,000 per
annum.
The rich man pays increased taxes on
his land, on his income. on everything.
Take the land. His tax is levied on
it's unimproved valuation and this tax
is increased according to it's value. II
his farm is worth more than So, 500 he
gets no exemption whatever. After 1T
reaches the value of $4,000 there is no
deduction of the mortgages upon it, and
from then on it increases at the rate
of an eighth of penny in the pound
until it reaches a maximum taxation
of two pence per pound, which is pay
able only when the value is a million
dollars or more. He pays an increased
tax on his income. The man who has
only 81, 500 year pays no taxes what
ever, but the man who has up to $1,000
above this pays siX-pence to the pound
or 21a per cent and a man whose tax
able income is more than $1,000 pays
8 per cent. This does not seem a great
deal without you figure it up.
Suppose your income was that of a
Congressman; you would pay 219 per
cent on $4,000, less $500, or sS7 income
tax If you were one of the justices of
the Supreme Court and got $4,000, you
would have to pay per cent on the eX-
ira $4,000, making your taxes 1927, and
IL you were one of our big trust mag
mates, with an income of $1,000, 900 a
year, your taxes would closely approx
mate $4,000, and if you lived in New
Zealand you would have to pay them.
IL is safe to say that such men in the
United States do not pay half as much.
In New Zealand they would probably
be ranked as social pests
