The Detroit times. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1903-1920, 1911-01-24

There Is a new kind OF conservfi.
tion that lies at our very doors-the
conservation OF municipal resources.
Not long ago my wife said TO me:
"A city ought not to require taxes
from its citizens. II ought 10 be able
to ray dividends on the property II
owns"
That seemed 10 me at first like a
willo'-the7wisp. well adapted for the
feminine mind TO pursue, but the
lady argued the case and the moro
she argued the more she convinced
me. Her argument was an applica-
ton TO purely municipal questions OF
theory very similar TO that set forth
by Henry George in Progress and
Poverty"
She said: Take this city. The land
which underlies IL would be worth
for farming purposes 500 to $3.50 per
acre. now IL Is worth, parts OF Ii,
many thousands of dollars for small
fraction OF an acre.
How did that value arise? Why, IL
arose because the city has come, be-
cause people built houses close TO
each other and started industries.
That Is the value the city gives.
Where the city gives value, II has
the right to take value-it has the
right to draw its income from the In
creased value of the land. So that TX
a city were caught young and the
property of the city were conserved
for the common benefit, there would
be no need OF levying any other tax
upon Its citizens. On the contrary,
the city could pay dividends to those
citizens. In such case the city SIM
| ply taxes the value that II gives;
taxes nothing else"
The town OF Fairhope, on Mobile
bay, is an example to the point. Fair1
hope was settled by some people
from Iowa. They determined to start
the right way. They took the town
young. The citizens leased the land
from the municipality and built their
city, and they have been running IL
for about Is years. They are able to
carry on their government without
any taxes; to pay the state and coun-
| ty taxes to have a free telephone
system, schools, public library, and
free public dock. The town is said
to be prosperous.
| Such examples are comparatively
rare in this country compared to
those abroad There Is in Sweden a
town by the name of Orson which,
without any taxation. supports a
street railway for the free use OF all,
a library and a public school. and
pays its own taxes 10 the govern,
ment 1t does this from the product
of trees that are grown in and around
| the town.
| Mr. Ockel. in the Westminster Re-
Wow, mentions the fact that in Ger.
many there are now 1900 villages
that are supported from the product
OF communal land. without taxation
upon the inhabitants, and that cen
siderable number Of these towns
aud villages actually pay dividends TO
their inhabitants. This is done large
ly from the products of communal
forests.
In some cases the Iyield OF these
forests is very great They have 4
| fine forest near Zurich (Switzerland)
! from which the net return Is about
| s12 per acre each year.
II course, il the municipality has
enough land to do this sort OF thing
IL can pay its own expenses. The
| trouble is that hardly any Of our
American cities were caught young
enough.
The Detroit times. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1903-1920, 1911-01-24

by unearned increment? Merely the
value added TO land by the increase
in the number OF people living on 1t
or near Ii.
The streets of a growing city In
crease IN value all the time, just as
city lot does. The street railway
increases its traffic as the town
grows, the waterworks increases the
number of its connections, the tele-
phmone increases the number OF its
subscribers. There is a constant rise
in values in a growing town. That
rise in the value of the streets ought
TO be kept for the city, not for the
benefit OF stockholders in public SER
vice corporations. AS the value Of
the street grows, the return ought to
grow, too.
Ii our cities had been conducted
upon that basis in the beginning, the
Lresent taxes would be greatly re-
duced One of the very best ways TO
achieve this is, where it Is possible.
to have the municipality both own
and control the public service plants.
Most of us used 10 be opposed 20
municipal ownership, and with very
Food reason But there is a brighter
day dawning We are certainly get
ting ahead. There is no doubt about
il.
This is a kind of conservation that
lies at our own doors-the conser-
walton of municipal resources.
