: Home Rule In Taxation.
BY e. J. Batten.

Local option III taxation is becom.
ing live political issue in many
states, and good citizens everywhere
should familiarize. themselves with
the question. Briefly stated, it means
the right of each taxing district to
determine the sources from which its
taxes shall be raised. The Wisconsin
legislature has acted. favorably on a;
constitutional amendment to grant
this right, and the California legisla-
ture has submitted 1t to be voted on
next November in the following form:
ANY County, city and county: city
or. town, may exempt from taxation
for local purRYses TN whole. or in part
any one or more OF the following
classes of property: Improvements
in, on or over land; shipping, house
hold furniture, live stock, merchan-
disc. machinery, TOOLS, farming i'm.
pleme1ts;' vehicles other personal
property except franchises -.
Chicago For Home Rule. ..
On November s,'1so4, the people Of
Chicago, under the public policy act,
voted 1926 for home rule in taxa
ton, to 1862: against it., and. the vote
throughout the state was 476,7So for
to 4o,s96: against In the face Of
this overwhelming vote a republican
politician took Aid. Merriam to task
because he spoke on Home Rule for
Cities at a. Single Tax banquet, in
sinuating that home rule in taxation
is unpopular in Chicago. Standpat
republicanism, deaf and blind to the
overwhelming demand OF the voters,
fails to -respond even to a vote ex-
ceeding three; to one in both, city and
State. -. =,
On the other hand, Theodore
Roosevelt, greatest Of all living poll
ticians, published his views on this
question in the Century Magazine Of
October, 1913, as follows :.
I'VE believe that municipalities
should have complete self-govern-
ment as regards all affairs that are
exclusively their own, including the
important matter OF. q taxation, and
that the burden of Ifnuncipal taxation
should beEsso shifted as to put the
weight 'of taxation upon the lunearned
rise in value of the land itself, rather
than upon the improvements; the
buildings, the effort being to prevent
the undue rise Orient y S.&, I p.
Leads to Single Tax. -:
:. 1T is objected that this will lead to
the Single Tax. What Of it? The
greatest minds in the country favor
the abolition Of the general property
tax. This is an approach toward the
Single Tax, Premier Asquith and the
whole British cabinet recognize, that
more taxes must be raised from land
values and are framing legislation
with this object in view. President
Wilson's cabinet is largely made Up Of
men whose minds are permeated with
the Single Tax doctrine. The Presi-
dent himself recommends that the
Mexican land uestion be settled BY
a system Of land taxes sim liar to
those of New Zealand. The startling
success Of Single Tax experiments ii
that part Of the world is matter Of
common tknowled &C. Large estates
(the bane OF. Mexfco) have BY this
method been broken up In New Zea-
land, and this result will necessarily
follow wherever the system Is adopt
