from actual use either for farming or
for building purposes. They believe that

on that assessment would set the az to

Furthermore they believe that to COM

courage him to build houses. so as to
get an income out of his property, and
at the same time furnish accommoda-

congested urban districts.
Some Of the supporters Of the taxation
of land values are single takers who ac-
cept the theory of Henry George and
are looking forward ultimately to the re-
mission of all other taxes except that on
land values These extremists, however,
do not insist upon going more than a
step at time, and they are co-operat-
views, who look upon land value taxa
ton not as a social reform. but as a de-
sirable readjustment Of the fiscal sys-
tenn.

lance when Mr.. Lloyd George included in

for the purpose Of assessing local rates.
thus committing the liberal government
to the proposition Of change from the
annual value to the capital value Of land
for the purpose OF taxation. It is by no
means certain that this portion Of the
budget will be adopted, and even II it Is
adopted it cannot be put into general ef-
feet without supplemental legislation
that may require several years to enact
In fact, the details of the agitation for
the taxation of land values are relatively
unimportant They are merely sympto-
matte of a much more significant gen.
eral trend. England today is divided
into two camps. One is composed Of
those who would continue to govern the
country primarily in their own interest
and secondarny in the interest Of all the
people by retaining their hold on the
governmental machinery through the
ownership OF large landed estates. The
other is composed Of those who would
destroy the partnership between the
ownership of land and tho governing
class, and who would distribute both the
land and the political power throughout
the masses Of the people.

THE BRITISH CRISIS
XXXIV.-Taxation of Land
Values.
Bv Frederic J. Haskin.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

The liberal party in Great Britain is
pledged to a reform of land taxation. so
that the actual value of the land will be
considered in making assessments, to the
double end that the burden Of taxation
may be more than equitably distributed
and that the great landed estates may be
converted from deer parks and game pre-
serves into productive fields. The oppo-
sition party Is determined that no such
violent disturbance of the fiscal relations
between the government and the land
owning class shall be put into effect.
An illustration may serve to explain
the present British system. Suppose you
own a house and lot, the market value
Of which is $4,000. You are not assessed
for any tax. but the property is rated"
at what a willing tenant would give to
occupy it for one year in its existing con-
dition.
Average real estate returns in England
are calculated at per cent. SO that your
house would be rated at an annual value
Of $500. quite regardless of what the
tenant actually pays. The rating author
ity then allows a deduction of 10 per cent
for repairs. which reduces the net ratable
value to $3.50 year. Expressed in Eng
lish money this would be s72 sterling.
Then. the tenant who occupies the house
is compelled to pay the tax. which in an
average community would be shillings
in the pound. That would mean that he
would pay about $126 in tax, in addition
to the $4O0 rent that he pays.

All tax rates such as we express in
decimal form, under the English system

the pound, so that fiat amounts such as
4 per cent and per cent cannot ordinari-
ly be expressed. In fact, nothing Is 80

may system. and it is recorded as fact

poor rate-that is. for the support OF
paupers-and by quite a different author
ity for county and school purposes. In
some places he may be rated by as many
as five different rating authorities. and
each OF them may fix a different annual
value on the property he occupies.
Even when he has paid all these
rates" as they are called, he has other
taxes to pay. He must pay an Inhabited
house tax, which ranges from 8 pence to
pence in the pound on ratable value.
Over and above this he must. deduct
from the rent he pays the owner the
amount Of income tax which the owner
must pay and return it to the govern
ment.
Now If the house burns down or is torn

duty. If undeveloped land is found to
other purposes than agriculture the own
er must pay a tax of one-fifth of l per
cent Of the annual value. But this star

disputed Lloyd George budget Of 1909.

and in others only one-fourth. the differ
ence being made up by direct contribu-
ton to the local authority from the i'm
perial exchequer.
Not only have the rural landlords thus
voted themselves grants in the way OF
rates out of the national treasury. but
they have also SO changed the income tax
that whereas a city man must pay tax on
all income over ESQ a year, the farmer
pays income tax only on one-third OF the
rent he receives instead of thew hole
amount, thus operating to increase his
exempted income from e16o to f4s0.
The tax reformers would change this
whole system by valuing the site value,
or capital value, Of real estate holdings
and assessing tax on that amount in
stead Of on the annual value. In the
United States. where all assessments Of
lands are made on the capital value, 1t
is almost incomprehensible that our
British cousins should dispute as to the
feasibility Of such a scheme. 1t is
gravely declared every day in England
that it would be absolutely impossible to
assess the capital value Of land, that
only the annual value is possible Of as
