HARD CIDER BANE OF
OUR BACK TOWNS
Missionary Says 1t Is Responsible for
Much Sin and Crime in
Vermont.

Religious conditions in rural Vermont
were discussed by E. c. Kinney, a Sun
day school missionary, at the Methodist
church in Burlington Thursday evening
before a good sized audience. Mr.. Kin
ney has been travelling up and down
Vermont for IS years in the interest OF
Sunday school work and during that
time he has travelled about 10000
miles, mostly by carriage. He is an op-
timist but has found much to discourage
him in conditions that prevail in the
extreme rural districts.
The lecture was illustrated by numer.
GUS stereopticon views taken by himself.
These depicted wildly the conditions
found which to many present were n
revelation.
The speaker enlivened his talk by in
teresting anecdotes and told of some Of
the evils and temptations that beset the
districts visited.
He declared that hard cider was re-
sponsible for much sin and crime and
told how prevalent the making and
drinking of this liquor was in the back
towns. A great many inhabitants can
neither read or write and have no re-
ligous instruction whatever.
In one district the speaker said he
could find no one that attended church
or Sunday school and the nearest church
was seven miles away. One man said,

difference in the two systems Is very
great. In this country, or at least In
Massachusetts, the owners of personal
property, including all kinds OF stocks
or bonds, are taxed, either through the
corporation or directly. at the rate, say,
of u per cent. per annum on the mar
ket value of the property. For stocks
and bonds selling on 0 per cent. basis
this is equivalent 10 25 per cent. of the
income value of the property before
deducting taxes; whereas in England the
total burden of taxation on this class
of property is only little over 5 per
cent.
These results should be borne in mind
by our legislatures, state or federal, con
the imposition of an income
tax, which, so far as personal property
goes at least, would be with us an addi-
tional tax, and not, as in England,
substitute for other forms of taxation.

Income Taxes Here and Abroad.

Much is said in the press and else
| here OF the inherent justice of the in.
come tax and the success which ha,
followed its imposition in Europe. One
important feature of its income tax
systems has been lost sight of. There
the income tax is generally the sole
tax ON the property,
In England, for instance, there is no
tax on corporation stock as such, or on
the market value of corporate bonds
and stocks, or on bills receivable. or
credits OF any kind in the hands of
the holder. All that vast amount OF
property which is represented by per-
sonal security of one kind or another IL
entirely untaxed, except by means OF
the national income tax. As pointed
out in our editorial of Feb. Is, this
amounts to only about per cent.
Now. the taxes on real estate, which
IN England are paid by the occupier.
have until recently been levied solely
on the income value of the property
by legislation known az the finance
act OF l909-l0 taxes of moderate
amount are levied upon the capital value
OF certain kinds of lands, principally
consisting of unimproved suburban real
estate; but with this exception real
estate in England pays no tax, except
upon its income value.
As this tax works out in practice il
is found that real estate occupied by
the owner pays relatively small tax
compared with the American levy on
such property, according to its capital
ar bat l..u So. &
almost all residential property used by
the owner is considerably less than its
sale or market value. For example.
large and expensive house in London
might not have net rental of over S.
900 year, whereas its market value
might be many times that sum capt.
talized at the prevailing rate of inter
est, and yet the owner is taxed only on
its rental or income value.
The net burden of taxation on real
estate in England, both national and
ocal, measured by the aggregate taxes
deducted from its income or income val |
lie, varies in different localities accord |
ng to the diversities in local rates |
But the burden OF this system on pro.
uctive real estate is not very different |
rom the burden of the American sys-
EN- by which the property is taxed
Ipon its market value, for tax of ~ |
Ter cent. ON the market value of prop
rty is the same thing as tax of
Is per cent. upon its income value. as
uming that the property can be sold
N 6 per cent. basis. In Boston the
ak on productive real estate is seldom
ess than 20 per cent. and runs from
hat to 80 per cent. of the net income
t the property before deducting taxes.
here are doubtless special cases where
he burden of taxation here is much
igher than these figures; but on the
verage the English system works out,
0 far as productive real estate is con
arned, very much the same as does
urs
