the Extra taxation ON the few unoccu-

suburban landowners focking into town
to escape taxation on their lawns and
gardens is too sad for anything. When
they all got to the city of course their
land would have no taxable value. since
no one wanted it; would they not all
flock back again? The country people
around Washington would never do any
thing so unseenly as that. Mr.. Dali says

HOW THE SINGLE TAX
WOULD ACTUALLY WORK
Mr.. Childs Takes Issue With Views
of Another Star
Correspondent.
To the Editor OF Tie Star

| 10 tue Editor OF i ne Staf.
Your correspondent in Thursdays issue.
Mr.. Dali. misapprehends the ''funda-
mental basis OF the single tax theory
and states it incorrectly. The unearned
| increment is not an injustice, 1t is merely
fact 1t does not apply only to unim-
| proved land. but to all lands where land
I has value. and to the country as well as
! the city.
! He says: Land primarily has no
value except that conferred on it by
f. the user and occupier. Demand for Its
use makes land valuable 1t is not use,
and certainly not occupation, that gives
value to land. The holding of land out
| of use tends to give it speculative
value, but proximity to markets. police
(, and fire protection, the various activities
of the community. are some of the things
| that give 1t value. and that value is
generally proportional to the density OF
| population. I'm the absence of popula-
t:on it is practically worthless TO
| imagine that the value that population
| gives to land is the sum Of all the, values
that individuals have given to 1t by their
use would be very far from the mark.
/ 1t is the capacity of yielding rent which
| rather than the use OF land that gives
/. It value. Land value does not arise from
the .productiveness or. utility OF land. but
simply from the power OF securing part
Of the results of production. tSee chapter
4, H. "Ptogress and Poverty.'o
"a city started in a new place, etc,
can apply the single tax with advan-
taec. says Mr. Dali Certainly it can,
and also one started in an old place-!n
fa"t any old city can. But he thinks it
would involve the disadvantage Of crowd
| ing and creating unwhoiesome conditions.
/; This is dscouraSing to single-taxer.
The theory is that tax on land values
/ would make land .Inore ayailable-that
i owners would cease to hold il out of
use-that eongested districts in cities
would disappear: that slums would be no
! more But Mr.. Dali thinks. The more
/ land tire more. tax, and houses surround
:, ed by gardens and grounds would be
! pena!ized out of existence" The pay
/, inent for the use Of land is rent, ard
! rent is the same whatever the tax. The
tax on land value cannot be transferred
. the user of land. This is an ele-
ur ltary proposition, and We need not
stop to argue it
We may as Wen pass rapidly also,

REVENUE CUTTERS
ARE G|VENARES1
Few Calls for Assistance De-
spite Gales Along the
Atlantic Coast.
WINTER CRUISING ORDERS
KEEP THEM ON THE GO
Ready at ANY Moment to Respond
to Wireless Calls From Dis
tressed Vessels.

While heavy gales are reported along
the Atlantic coast in the past week
the vessels of the revenue cutie. service
have had comparatively few calls upon
them for assistance, though under their
winter cruising orders they have kept
constantly on the move on the lookout
for. vessels In trouble and ready to re-
spond at any time to call for aid from
unfortunate craft damaged by the pound
ing of winter seas or carried on the sand
bars by the shifting currents and winds
Night and day, in rough weather and
in smooth, the radio rooms on the cut
tiers are never left vacant for a minute
and from the lookout stations in the YES
sells strong eyes are constantly scanning
the seas for the sight of vessels showing
signals Of distress. When Information is
received that the aid OF the cutter is
needed all the power the vessel has in
her big engines is used to hurry her to
the position Of the stricken ship and it
is a rare occurrence that the cutter does
not reach the vessel in time to save her

Too Late to Help.
An exception to this record occurred
last week when the italian bark Coftagua
of Genoa stranded near Nauset light sta
ton on the Massachusetts coast The
vessel went ashore in the night and it
was several hours after she had gone on
the beach that she was discovered. The
cutter Gresham at Boston was notified

don the search ,for the schooner Kineo.

The northeast Of the Diamond shoals, and
returned to port to repleuish her coal
supply. On receipt Of the telegram from
the commanding officer of the Onondasa

During the past week as the Raullico
