We should abandon all attempts TO tax
any products Of labor according 10 Her
bert F. Richards. Of Los angeles. who
is at the National. not only because It
oannot be done fairly. but because It
tends TO discourage the production OF
wealth
"Au such things as farm products
continued Mr.. Richards, groceries, dry
goods, sc, are products OF individuals.
and can be owned by them by The best OF
titles-thst Of production Ard the com
munity has no right to take any OF them
by taxation But there IS a value created
by the community which the community
has 4 Just title TO. and which should Be
taken in taxation for the benefit OF the
community
IT is the presence and activity Of al
the people that gives the high values 70
- .-r4z
Richards. 'as well as everywhere that
land has value. And IN that value IS
found a fund. created By the public,
which should be taken for public pur-
poses. Take the annual value Of land
irrespective OF inpr0veEents-for the sup
port Of the government which creates
that value and Ie viii have q system
that win do away With perjury. put an
end 10 the tax inquisitOT, and force every

That Americans are not the awe-inspir-

never been abroad imagine they are. IS
the opinion OF Daniel HeaIey. Of Chicago.

attention wherever I went said Mr..
Hesley, no one seemed 10 make any par
ticUisT fuss over me just because hap
pened 10 be from the United States. Euro
Dean people. especially the French and
Germans. seem wei able TO take care of
themselves. and they know It.
They pay no more attention 20 a visitor
from the United States than We give 70 a
person from one Of those countries Per-
haDs not as much, as there are mora
American tourists in Europe than there
