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

Two weeks ago we gave a brief
synopsis of the land tax laws OF
Manitoba. Saskatchewan, Alberta
and British Columbia. The economic
principal upon which these provinces
base their laws is that land is the
product of the Creators hand. All
other property is the product of hu-
man industry.
Land. properly speaking, is not
only the soil, but the timber grow
ing thereon, the mines lakes and
rivers. in short, the world as the
Creators hand left it ready for the
habitation OF man. Their idea is
that industry and energy should be
free from taxation or restriction Of
any kind.
That land being the common heri-
tage of the human race is the only
commodity that is a fit subject of
taxation. That as it is necessary to
collect taxes from some source, and
as the land values are created by
the industry of the whole people,
then land values exclusive of i'm
provements is the only just basis of
taxation.
Every person, whether he or she
is following profession, conducting
a business, farming, manufacturing,
working for wages, or any other use
full occupation, are members of the
industrial class. The land is the
common heritage of this class. Land
values properly belong to them for
by their industry it has been created.
1t therefore follows that tax on
land values alone is a just tax be-
cause it falls on each individual in
proportion to his industry. What
about the fellow who does no work,
fills no useful palce in the indus
trial system of his day and age?
Simply this, if he insists on rest
Ing his hands and brain, then let
him rest his stomach also.
To say that we can not settle
his case is to say that humanity
Is inferior in intelligence to the
busy bees, who expel the drones
from the hive and force them to
work or starve.
Practically, these Canadian laws
say to the farmer, go ahead clear
up your land, SOW and reap. build
fences and buildings, raise fine live
stock, fit your house with good fur
niture, equip your farm with the lat
est and best implements and machin-
cry, produce in all abundance food
Tor the human race, and we will not
hamper you in any way by taxation.
You shall have the full measure of

WHOLE HOG OR NONE.

AS a result Of the appointments
made by the county commissioners
for the county high school board,
the people of Columbia Falls are up
in arms, land if all reports are true,
should the two county commission
ers who are responsible for the ap-
pointments, show their faces in that
city before the smoke of their wrath
clears away, it is doubtful whether
they will be able to go back with
a whole hide.
Columbia Falls, which she is en-
titled to, desired to be represent
ed on the county high school board,
and a petition signed by everyone
in the city and surrounding country
to have L. D. Bates appointed a
member of the board, was present.
ed to the county commissioners. 1t
is said that Commissioner Main, who
by the way is a Columbia Falls man,
was backed into a corner some time
ago and promised to see to it that
Columbia Falls was represented on
the board. But when it came right
down to business he cast all thought
of Columbia Falls on the four Winds
and gave his support to a Kalispell
man.
There were three members to be
appointed on the board. but only
two appointments were made. They
were Judge D. F. Smith and Major
Baldwin, both of Kalispell. Kalis-
pell by virture OF law is entitled to
only one of these representatives.
The other two should have come
from points in the county outside
of Kalispell. Besides Columbia Falls,
Bigfork and Poison presented petit
tons to have a representative from
those towns appointed but they were
also ignored. Now the people are
asking the reason for this. It looks
as If the people outside of Kalispell
are being jobbed. They are certain
ly not getting square deal. And
then again the other question is
why was not the third appointment
nader" This could have been done
and given Bigfork or Col. Falls thei
representative. Maybe the commits.
sioners are trying to find another
Kalispell man for the job. They
seem to have forgotten that the higl
school is a county institution and
that the people in the country out
side of Kalispell would like to have
something to say about the running
of the school SO that they will get
some benefit out of it.
Columbia Falls has a right to be
indignant and so has Bigfork and
Poison. They should all enter a most
vigorous protest against this out
rageous game that is being played
against them. They will have the
support of every one in the outside
towns in the county. They have
been double crossed and flim-flamed
out of what by right of law belongs
to them. Go to it brothers. Lace
it to them hot and heavy
but in your indignations don't lay
any of the blame to Commissioner
Good. He did the best he could
but was in the minority.

much or little depends on yourself.
We accord to you the full measure
OF your toll"
To the holder of idle land they
say, you are expanding no ener-
gy or industry on your land. You
are simply holding it for the purpose
of appropriating to yourself the in
creased value of your holdings
that will be created by the industry
of your neighbors. You have title
to your land under our provincial
laws. You may improve it or not,
sell it or hold it as you think best;
but we propose to take from you in
taxation for the benefit of the peo-
pie the increased value of your idle
land that has been created by their
industry and not by yours
Unjust" you say. On the other
hand it is the only tax system that
is just. We give the farmer the full
product of his energy and industry;
Mr.. Spectator, you just the same.
Their policy is to relieve the
products of industry from the bur-
dens of taxation. as far as practical
BILE. They realize the fact that
it is industry supports us all. Indus
try can not thrive without access to
the land. Humanity can not exist
without the same privilege. Their
aim is to adjust the burdens of taxa
ton so that labor will be free.
Labor cannot exist until it has
free access to the land. It cannot
have free access to our lands so
long as our land tax laws are so ar
ranged that it is Improbable to
hold idle land. To free labor, start
the wheels of industry moving, emp
ty the poor-houses and the jails, put
our courts out of business, make a
man out of the tramp, abolish the
soup kitchen, turn the tremendous
energy of the unemployed into pro-

A NEW RACE

Professor Stefansson reports the dis
coverv of a tribe of Esauimos in Mac

These people have no history that
they can recount. Like 4opsy, they
just growed.
There are about two thousand Of
them. They have a degree OF inteIlt-
gence which the regular Esautmos do
not possess. They have red hair. blue
eyes and a tendency to argue about
religion. Some ct them are arS.sttcaiir
freckled.
Many OF their names begin with
Mae, and they have way of addrass-
ing each other with something that

Oats grow farther north than wheat.

oats or not Professor Stefansson doesa
