Interest Taken in the Sug-
gestion Of Mr.. j. L. Cald-
well That Some Form of
Single Tax Be Provided in
the Constitution.
FROM
A SINGLE TAXER
single Tax in the Constitution

single TAX In n Oonstitution
So much interest has been taken in the
suggestion of Mr.. J. L. Caldwell and
Others that some form Of the single tax
be provided for In the constitution Of
New Mexico. that many inquiries have
been received by me for more lucid ex-
PLANTATION of the single tax that has
before beeu given. II is unuqestionably
a timely and a seemly thing 10 attempt
such an explanation, since the prin'
ciple is now recognized as wholly non.
political and containing many elements
that must be utilized in the ideal gov.
ernmental system of the future. just
as ! was about to undertake the com
mission, along comes the following ex'
position from a single.taxer at Clovis;
We assert as our fundamental prin.
ciple of self.evident truth enunciated in
the Declaration of American %lndepend-
enee, that all men are created equal and
are endowed by their creator with GER
tain In alinenable rights. We hold that
all men are equally entitled to the use
and enjoyment of what God has created
and of what Is gained by the general
growth aud improvement of the com
munity Of which they are a part. There
fore, no one should he permitted e
hold natural opportunities without ;
fair return for any special privilege
thus accorded 10 him, aud that the val
ue which the growth and improvement
Of the community attaches to lane
should be taken for the use Of the com
munity; that each is entitled to all hi
labor produces; therefore, no tax shoul'
be levied on the products Of labor.
To carry out these principles, we ar
in favor Of raising all public revenue
for national, state, county and municipal
purposes by single tax upon land val
ues, irrespective Of improvements AM
all the obligations of all forms of dl
rect and indirect taxation.
Since in all our states we now lev.
some tax on the value of land, the sin
gle tax can be instituted by the sim
Pile and easy way of aboIishing, one al
ter another, all other taxes now levie,
and commensurately increasing the ia
on land values until we draw upon tina
one source for all expenses of govern
ment, the revenue being divided be
tween local governments, state govern
ment, and the general government, q
the revenue from direct tax is now a
vided between the local and state gov
ernments, or by u direct assessment b'
ing made by the general g%overnmen
upon the states and paid by them froI
revenues collected in this manner. Tn
single tax we propose is not a tax o
land, therefore would not fall on III
use of land and become a tax on labo
II is n tax not on the land, but OH III
value of land. Then II would not Ia

would be taxed no more than the man
who held a similar lot vacant. The sin.

to contribute TO the public revenues
not in proportion to what they produce
or accumulate, but in proportion to the
value of the natural opportunities they
hold. II would compel them TO pay just
M much for holding land idle as for
putting it to its .illest use. The single

COLVlLLE, Wash. May 90
Guilty as charged was the ver-
dict of the jury in the case of
George Pepoon, delivered shortly
before 10 o'clock last night, just a
minutes after the jurors had filed
from the courtroom. The verdict
convicts Pepoon of murder in the
first degree, crime punishable by
death or life imprisonment.
The decision of the jury came as
complete surprise to the majority
of those who have followed the
case, it being supposed that the
strong defense built up by Pepoon's s
attorneys would at least create. a
disagreement and result in a
lengthy session in the jury cham
bers. The strong closing argument
of the prosecution, in which the
motive for the crime was presented
in vivid light, is believed to be
responsible for the quick decision
of the jurors and the resulting YER
dict
