would do all in its power to encourage
IT, for it can only see the landlord,
who in this exploiting game Is the
less guilty, and certainly has this valid
excuse, that, since his land has been
made useless except for exploiting
purposes, he has right to a share OF
the plumber. The single tax says in
substance to those cormorants in be-
half of the community: You fellows
are too slick for me: cannot make
you pay me, for the service | am
rendering you. can get at that land
lord fellow, though, whom you must
pay anyhow for the use of his land.
Help me to get his share of the spoils
and you may go on with your respec-
tive schemes, unvexed by me, as far as
taxation goes. Nay, I'll promise you,
once | am successful in that, to take
less of a rake-off than what that land
lord now exacts" Do not single tax
ers claim that land values will fall
rnder their regime? And they call
his justice! Out upon such justice!
This, then, is the basis of this much
Wanted unearne4 increment. 1t all
rests upon the exploitation of produc-
tive labor. If that labor ceased only
for one week, men would die like flies
struck by an early frost, for man as
a whole lives from hand to mouth on
the result of contemporaneous labor.

single tax friends would make us be-

may convert me. If he cannot, and
will admit the single tax to be a
failure, will discuss other remedies

MR.. wAKEFIELD's REJo1NDER.


I Passing by Mr.. Dodge's fanciful sug-
gestions about the robber obtaining
unearned increment or rent by breech
Of the law, and of his '1ot to never be
used for any purpose whatever" which
are not pertinent to the issue and re-
CURE no reply. it seems to me the
only real issue between us is: Does
the community as whole produce
land values and is it, therefore, justly
entitled to take such values for public
purposes in lieu of the taxes now lev
led upon labor and its products; or
does the individual who uses land, and
he alone. give the land it's only value
by his labor?
The former is the single tax con-
tentiOn; the latter seems to be Mr..
Dodge's contention, and is, | believe,
the usual socialist position.
Were Mr.. D. correct in this view,
1t would necessarily follow that the
single inhabitant of an entire state,
or county, could by his labor and
meagre improvements render his
quarter section as valuable and rent
1t for as much as if situated in a
densely settled community, or his
town lot where there was no town nor
prospect of one, as high priced as a
lot on lower Broadway, New York
city, or on State street, Chicago. And
this in face of the fact that thou
sands of other as good quarter sec
tons or lots could be had in the vi
entity for nothing.
Such a contention is too ridiculous
and too opposite to all experience to
require any refutatiOn. That land has
no value until more than one person
seeks its use, and continues to in
crease in value with the progress Of
wealth, is fact known to all.
I None can question the fact that a
city lot or forty acres rich mining
land on which not a stroke of work
was ever done may have greater SELL
ing or rental value than twenty or
fifty we'll improved and worked farms
or as many village homes.
Mr.. d. asks if dollar of wealth can
be produced from mine before labor
has been applied to it, yet he must
know that many great fortunes owe
their source to speculation in unused
| mining lands on which not stroke
of labor had been performed. Of
course, no real wealth-labor product
can be produced without labor ap-
piled to land, or on land, but such la
Dor can be tolled or taxed in advance
Of its application, as high priced land
means high rent and high rent means
low wages.
| think this subject was sufficiently
threshed out in our first articles and
see no use of repeating argument.
There are some advocates of the
single tax who disclaim being reform
| ers or philanthropists and base their
views not on abstract justice, but ex-
rediency, hence they advocate single
tax only because it is the best, SIM

Substitute Got Hilarious.

Nathaniel Hawthorne once told how
he felt when he was called upon I'M
expectedly to speak at dinner. "As
l rose," he said, Il tapped upon my
mind and it sounded hollow. 1t was
quite empty; there was nothing in it
whatsoever" To prevent such dis
tress among his guests the proprietor
of a celebrated restaurant in Paris
which made a specially of weddin :!
festivities engaged a clever fellow
who excelled in speaking, to propoa
all the toasts. Thus the guests wer
free to enjoy the affair to the utmos
without any of that nervousness.
which besets most people who have
to speak at a banquet. But, unfor-
tunately for the success of this novel
scheme of "oratory by proxy" the
talented substitute began to get hi
larious after a series of festivities
and had to be dismissed.
