TAXATION OF IDLE LAND
(By G. w. Avery.)

Allow me to repeat Statement.
made in the first of these articles:
'subtracting mountains, lakes, rivers
and settlers land, there remains ap-
proximately $4,000 acres of agricul-
tural land tributary to Whitefish.
The building of the Great Northern
and the industry of the people OF
tho community have added to the
value of this land not less than
Sc per acre since the town was
started,a bonus OF 100000 given to
the owners in eight years. IF there
is any other way to stop this con-
slant drain on the wealth of the
community except by improved meth.
DDS Of taxation, the writer, after
careful study of the question has
failed to discover it. Mr.. Reader,
If you know of any other way we
will gladly take a back seat while
You tell us about it.
A large percentage of the above
mentioned acreage is covered with
growing timber. Land on which
timber is growing is not idle land; 1T
is growing a crop. 1t should be
assessed at the same rate as any
other property in the county. The
timber growing on agricultural land
can not be classified as improve
ments, nor as produce. 1t is part of
the land, and should be so assessed,
until human industry transforms it
into logs and lumber, when it be-
comes personal property. At the
same time the land en- which it
grew becomes idle agricultural land,
and comes within the scope of the
line of reasoning put forth in these
writings. Loggcd-over land in this
vicinity is offered for sale at prices
ranging from IS to S25 per acre.
These prices are for tracts large
enough for farming purposes. Five
acre tracts are selling at from SIS
to 500 per acre. 1t is safe to say
that land which can be bought be-
low $40 per acre is not fit for agri-
culture.
In other words, stump land fit
Tor agricultural purposes is offered
for sale at prices ranging from $40
to $25 per acre. These prices are
highor ~ cor,o n,c,, x,,or, than
twice as high = as the holders paid
FOR the land with from two to three
million feet of growing timber ON
each quarter section.
In the face of these facts they at
tempt to show that any raise in their
rate OF taxation Of their idle land
would be gross injustice. These idle
lands are now assessed at $3.50 per

acre. and are paying $3.50 taxes on
a quarter section.
Mr.. Reader, just compare these
taxes with your own tax receipt and
keep in view the price at which you
would offer your property for sale
and the price asked for the stump
land, and decide for yourself where
the injustice lies. 1t takes a certain
amount of taxes to manage the at
fairs of the county, and ii one class
of property escapes it's just share
1t must be made up off some other
class.
A.little reflection and few min
utes figuring will convince you that
your industry is constantly adding
to the selling value of the idle land
In your community. and that you
are not only creating this value,
but are paying at least a share of
the taxes on the same by allowing
these lands to be assessed at ridic-
lousy low rates compared to the
price at which they are offered for
sale, thereby raising your own as
sessment on your live improved
property in order to collect suffic-
lent revenue.
Perhaps this spells justice, but it
does not look that way in our die
tionary The constitution of Montana
says mo property shall escape it's
just share CT state taxes" Just
ten innocent looking words; but
they have a deep meaning and a
tremendous effect. This clause pro-
hibits us from exempting any pri-
vate property from taxation and com
pells US to levy taxes On all classes
% industry. It is driving thousands
CT our industrious citizens to take
shelter under the more lib eral tax
laws OF the Canadian provinces,
which recognize the right of human
industry to be exempt from the bur-
den of taxation. 1t compells us to
levy fine on any man who has the
audacity to put any improvements OF
piece of land.
We organize booster clubs, col
lect money, send out circulars and
pamphlets. devise plans and means
to coax the unwary settler into the
country. We pat him on the back,
applaud and praise his industry and
then under this Infamous clause of
our constitution we turn around and
fine him for being industrious en-
ough to produce anything. On the
other hand We say to the specula-
tor in idle land: Take thine
ease. you need do no work; the
constitution of Montana will take
care of you. The honest farmers,
the skilled mechanics in the city the
