Some Things You Want to Know


mediate neighborhood, paid for 10000
square yards on rental valuation Of $4,0O5.
Because Lloyd-George called attention to
this enormous discrepancy, he was accused
by the conservative press of "calumny''
and of slandering the noble Marquis of
Butte His effrontery in referring to this
tailor shop was denounced all over the
country as proving his utter unfitness for
his high position as chancellor OF the ex-
cheQuer.
In every instance where land is rented
the tenant or lessee must pay the rates.
The owner OF the land never pays taxes on
his own property. This system was ar
ranged by the peers, who are the principal
land owners, over 200 years ago, when they
exchanged to King William this money
revenue, to be paid by their tenants in
lieu Of all services, tenures and levles OF
soldiers due to the crown from the peers
under the remaining rules OF the feudal
system.
So much has been said about the terri
BILE soclslisttic features OF this land tax,
It has been SO often denounced and so
seldom explained, that it IL worth while
to examine into its provisions in order to
find out exactly what the British land
lords are crying about. The new scheme OF
taxation is complicated affair which at
first can produce little revenue but il is
regarded as an entering wedge. The prInci-
pal proposals are threefold, the increment
duty, the reverslon duty and the unds-
veloped land duty.
The first provides that In the future. the
Increase in the value OF land due to the
efforts OF society as a whole, and in nowise
to the industry or ingenuity of the owner.
shall be regarded as unearned increment
and that 20 per cent, or one-flfth, of such
increase shall be paid to the treasury. This
tax is to be paid only when the land is
sold OF when It changes hands by reason
OF the death OF the owner. In case It is
owned by corporation not liable to death
duties. then the tax is TO be paid in 1914
and each seventh year thereafter. The
phrase ''unearned Increment may startle
some conservative Americans who are
sensitive TO the influence OF bugaboos, but
Il must be remembered that in American
states every annual or biennial assessment
takes into account for purposes of annual
taxation not only the unearned increment
but also the original value of the land.
If farm IN Missouri Is assessed at 9
value OF 5000, and its value Is, enhanced
$4,000 by improvements placed upon II by
the owner and Is stu further increased by
S,O0 because OF the building of a new rail
road, the state OF Missouri would collect
taxes on the total value. including improve
ments made at the expense OF the owner
as well as the unearned increment resulting
from the advelt of the railroad. In Eng
land under the Lloyd-George budget taxa
ton, no tax would be levied upon the $500

life to curing special diseases, and he
has been wonderfully successful in all
forms of catarrh, rheumatism, dyspep-

liver troubles.
He is a thorough diagnostican. He
believes in knowing what the disease is
before treatment begins. If the case is
of too malignant type and cure is
impossible he believes that the honest
course is to inform the patient of their
true condition and decline to treat them.
