THE svckLln AMENDMENT.
A Few Reasons for Voting Against the
Proposition.

The Bueklin amendment. misnamed
the Australasian tax system. Is an
amendment giving the people in each
county OF the state the option to adopt
the Henry George system OF confisca-
tion OF land by conflscating rent. II is
one-sided option. as the owners OF
land have no option in the matter at
all. 1t means the confiscation OF rent
by taxation. and confiscation Of rent
means confiscation OF the value OF the
land.
To make II plain that this Ia Just
what Mr.. George intends by his system.
We will quote. from his well known
work. Progress and Poverty: On page
30i, he says: II do not propose either
TO purchase or confiscate private prop
crty In land. The first would be un-
Just: the second needless. Let the in
diyiduals who now hold. still retain. II
they want to. possession OF what they
are pleased to call their land. We may
safely leave them the shell II We take
the kernel. II Is not necessary to con-
fiscate rent
What can We say OF the honesty of a.
man who claims that II In Just to take
a mans property away from him by In
uiftct uleaNb. WitnOut compensation,
and why did the federal and state con-
state constitutions provide that private
property shall not be taken for public
use without just compensation?
The committee on law OF the Denver
Chamber OF Commerce. which was re-
quested to make a thorough invcstisa-
tion Of the principles involved IN the
Bucklin bill. have made a thorough re-
port. condemning the proposed amend
ment In unmeasured terms. The COM
mittec declares that the Bucklin
amendment is totally unlike the Aus-
trniasinn tax system. The committee
says that ''the measure is radical de-
parture from tried and accepted tax
systems. a mere untried theory. having
M counterpart In the statutes OF any
state OF the Union. aud quite contrary
to tie trend OF tax legislation In this
country.
The committee further states that
the Investments In lands and in i'm
proyemcnts thereon. contracts relating
thereto. and long time leases represent
Ing vast sums OF money. have all been
made In reliance upon the continuance
of present conditions and present sys-
TENS OF taxation. A radical and un-
expected departure thcrcfrom with cx-
trcmc and violent changes. would re-
suit In financial disturbances. unsettled
conditions and enormous loss OF prop
erty. II would disturb business and
drive away capital.

Horace White, editor Of the New
York Evening Post, in reply to let
ter addressed to him by the Anti
Bucklin Amendment League OF Den
yer, writes under d.te Of October 1th.
1902. as follows: I'm reply beg to
state that the Bucklin Bill is not what
we understand In New York as local
option In taxation. The Bucklin bill
merely authorizes the voters OF any
county to adopt the Single Tax sys-
ten OF Henry George or to reject 1t,
whenever 100 taxpayers of the county
shall put them to the trouble of pass
ing upon It. but not oftener than once
in four years. presume you do not
desire an argument from me on the
subject of the Single Tax. Therefore,
will merely say say that IL l were
a citizen of Colorado I should vote
against the Bucklin amendment. and
that II the Single Tax were adopted
in any county where resided l should
move out of it."
To the letter addressed to Mr.. Dana,
editor of the New York Sun, asking
him whether he supported the Buck
lin amendment, as asserted by the
Bucklinites. Mr.. Dana replied that 1t
was square falsehood."

The Bucklinites constantly assert
that to tax improvements upon land is
to punish and fine the owner" and
consequently there should be no taxa
ton of such property. But the tax
from which improvements would be
relieved must necessarily be imposed
upon the land. and Of necessity that
which is unimproved must pay the
taxes which improvements ought to
pay. The fact is that what the Buck
iinites term a fne and punishment is
only just and police protection of the
improvement. 1t is the payment for
a service rendered by the county. and
there is no valid reason why the prop
erty should assume any portion of the
tax necessary for the protection of i'm
provements from the ravages OF hre
and thieves.
In the case of Wells vs.. Hyattsville.
a Md. 125. Judge McSherry says:
"If taxes be levied only upon land
the burden would speedily become in
sufferable. and the land would cease
to be worth owning. Such system
would eventually destroy ownership in
the soil, and under the guise of taxa
ton would result in ultimate confisca-
tiono
