/ am manufacturer and in the
production of goods employ land, la
Dor and capital.
Land represents the site upon which
my factory is located. Labor, the men
that make the goods. Capital, the fac
tory, machinery and material from
which goods are made.
AS taxes are raised for the expenses
of government, no more should be
paid out than is necessary for the
purposes of government Under the
existing system of taxation, / must
pay taxes upon land and capital, and
when | purchase machinery and ma
terial must pay not only the tax that
goes to the government, but also n
percentage Of profit on the tax which
the seller of machinery and material
adds to the cost of producing machin
cry and material. Under the single
tax on land value only, this profit on
the tax would be omitted and / would
pay taxes on the. land value only.
AS result of this my factory, ma
chinery and material would cost less
than now, l could afford to sell my
goods at less cost, and lower cost of
the goods would largely increase the
sales This would be one advantage
to me as a manufacturer in the adop-
ton of the single tax.
This advantage, however, is slight
as compared with the large reduction
in the cost of raw material that
would come with the application of
the tax on land values. The raw ma
terial used in my factory is iron and
steel. The supply of ore for these
materials is far and away in excess Of
any demand that the people Of the
United States can make upon them for
years to come, but, large as is the
supply it is restricted and monopol-
lied, because much the largest part
of the ore beds are not in use and
can be held at a comparatively slight
expense, because they bear very
small proportion of the expenses OF
government.
Were all taxes raised from land
values, these ore beds could not be
profitably held out of use.
1t would be necessary for the own
ers to use them or sell them to some
one who could use them. AS re-
suit the supply of material for iron
manufacturers would be largely in
creased and an increase in supply
means a reduction in price to the
manufacturer and again an increase
in sales.
The manufacturers profit in such
case might be somewhat reduced by
the increased demand for labor, which
would mean higher wages. Higher
wages, however, means increased puf-
chasing power and consumption of
goods, so that an increase of wages
could be made without a correspond
ing reduction in loss of profits, and
the benefit to me as a manufacturer
would be shared by my employees and
customers as well, for that which we
now pay in large degree to privilege
holders without receiving value there
for would be paid for service of ma
terial value. FRANK H. HOWE.

Whenever any government ceases

other. If government should tax

west of the Mississippi river on No

double-header trains on these roads he
abolished. The exact language of the
demand is that not to exceed thirty
cars be hauled with two engines, which
is equivalent TO the adjustment of the
practice. as that number of cars is
easily hauled with a single engine. An
exception is made of the mountain d.
visions of these roads where the grade
is heavy and two engines to each . ain
is necessary. 1t is understood that

UP TO THE LIMIT.
Statement of Car and Engine Building
Durinu 1902.

During 1902.
The record of the year in car and To-
connective building is nearly equal to
that of last year when all previous rec
ords were surpassed. The necessities
of the railroads are more clearly indi-
Gated by the orders which have been
placed for new equipment than by the
number of cars and locomotives actu-
ally built during the year since the
latter figures are merely a statement
of the capacity of the various building
concerns.
The Railway Age has compiled from
its weekly records a statement show
ing that during the year 1902 orders
have been placed for the building of
1855 900 freight cars, 400 locomotives
and 200 passenger equipment cars of
the various classes, including baggage,
mail and express. The figures have
beer corrected and additions made by
officials of the roads concerned and by.
the manufacturers. A corresponding
record published by The Railway Age
on January 3, 1902, showed totals of
$4,000 freight cars, 4,34O locomotives
and 1878 passenger cars.

The Origin Of Starching.

The course of history carries us back
no further than the year 1864 for the
origin of starching in London. 1t was
in that year that Mistress Van der
plasse came with her husband from
Flanders to the English metropolis for
their greater safety" and there pro
tossed herself starcher. The best
housewives of the time were not long
III discovering the excellent whiteness
of the dutch linen" as it was called
and Mistress PlasSe soon had plenty of
good paying clients. Some Of these be
gan to send her rufus of lawn to starch
which she did so eXcellently we'll that
it became a saying that If any one sent
her Il ruff made of Il spiders web she
would be able to starch it. So greatly
did her reputation grow that fashiona-
bic DANES went to her TO learn the art
and mystery of starching. for which
they gladly paid premium of "a or e.,
and for the secret of srcthing starch
they paid gladly further sum Of PC
shillings.
