sues OF municipal government, is lead
Ing the way toward a new system Of
taxation OF land values in conformity
with the American practice, cables
the London correspondent Of the Tri-
bune. The reformers Of that town
have advocated for long period a
special assessment plan by which por-
lion OF the expense Of local improve
ment can be charged against the
property directly benefited. This prin-
ciple in common use in America, IL
unknown in England, and London pro-
gressive also have favored a better
ment in the present principle and have
urged the necessity for taxing ground
rents and unoccupied land.
An important conference summoned
by the corporation Of Glasgow has
been held to consider recommenda-
tion to parliament for subjecting OF
land values now exempt. A commit
tee was appointed for taking direction
Of the movement.
The proposed changes are the ma
tural sequence to the steady increase
in the expense of local government
which has fallen exclusively on the
tenant, unbuilt areas not being rated
at all, and the cost of permanent i'm
proyements being betrayed out of the
ordinary rates based upon rental val
ues.
