ABOUT VACANT LOTS

Editor Day Book-In referring to
taxation of vacant lots little consid-
Grafton will show that, it would do
little good, if that were all that is
done. Mr. Hunt will agree with me
on the whole proposition when he
considers it.
Taxation of vacant lots with the
view to compel owners to sell would
be unequal taxation and hense I'M
just. If carried to the point of fore
ing owners to sell it would no doubt
force the use of many lots and slim
UIate the building trade. But if so it
would cause the shifting of labor
from other points to Chicago and
cause an advance temporarily of land

LETTERS TO EDITOR !

SHE'S FOR BABIES!
Editor Day Book Relating to your
article of Dec. "a on why have babies,
it appears to me a most abOminable
question applied to a good, home-lov-
ing motherly woman like Mrs. Good
man.
In my opinion they ought to ap-
point far more respectable women as
leaders of their so-called Christian
charitably inclined organizations. The
rich women have no time to bother
with babies, and the poor, unfortun-
ate woman is condemned and classed
ignorant and insane for having
babies, although it is her only joy on
earth.
And yet these inhuman creatures
would deprive poor woman like Mrs.
Goodman of her last joy on earth.
These same wOuld-be Christians
will also condemn race suicide. l be-
ieVe Mrs. Goodman ought to be pre-
scented with a gold medal for main
tanning her mother love toward her
babies in spite of all her poverty.
Many a woman in her shoes would
desert all and seek freedom from her.

tage might come to part of our pop
ulation would soon be lost.
All land owners should be taxed ac-
cording to the value of the land they
own. No discrimination should be
made between vacant and used land.
The ownership of land is a privilege
given by the community which has a.
value in the market, a value that
gives the owner power to levy tribute
on his fellow men. 1t forces nom
landowners to pay landowners for
the privilege of living on the earth
and working to sustain life.
This tribute is called in political
economy, rent. 1t represents a value
brought to the location by the peo-
pie of the community and the owner
does nothing to create this value.
What all the people produce should
be taken by all the people and used
for the benefit of all the people.
In the process of getting this value
if we fail to consider the taxes that
are levied by governments on the
wealth producing forces of the COM
munity we shall do as much harm as
good.
Taxing land values demands as a
complementary the exemption Of all
other things from taxation so that
labor and capital shall be free from
restrictions and untrammelled iH'
their work of wealth producing. mi
So it is misleading to set up the
taxation of vacant lots as a remedy
for poverty or unemployment. At it's
best it would be ike a narcotic givenl
a victim of appendicitis, and has also
the defect Of injustice.
The vacant lot owner is no more
to blame than any other lot owner.
We have given all landowners the
privilege of taxing all non-landown-.
ers and each one does what he
thinks is the most profitable with the.

A great many Of the prominent leaders

Thf comes from almost every section of
the country. In Boston It is becoming

the advocates of this system are NationaI

One Of the sbIest contributions of this

shows that he has a full appreciation
Of the benefits of military education

In the course OF his paper Mr.. Mooney
says:

Old Clothing Question

General orders OF the War Department
provide for the assurance of old-pattern
clothing and equipage to the army until
the supply Is exhausted. Il was proposed
TO issue this clothing to the Philippine
scouts at half price. but this aroused
strong opposition at Manila. and for
some time no issues OF khaki clothing
nave been made. Khaki clothing of
American sizes cannot be altered so
TO make II suitable for scout soldiers.
The question or issuing old-pattern
khaki clothing TO troops In the Depart
ment of the Philippines was acted upon
by the department Commander. who d.
rected that 1t be sent to the United
States. adding:
Tt is not needed here or IN China.
The only suitable use the department
commander can suggest for IL IL to either
sell II and thus get rid Of It. or retain
II with view to having IL on hand in
the United States in the event Of a rapid
organization OF q volunteer army for
