Taxation From The
Farmers Views
BY David Gibson

Suppose two farmers come into the
same neighborhood at the same time,
both buying, land of equal quality
and quantity.
One OF these farmers is energetic,
intelligent and thrifty, and builds,
good buildings, improves his fences
and drains his waste land, buys good
livestock and fully equips his place
with machinery, all out Of the profits
from year to year.
The other farmer, with equal op.
portunity, is not so industrious nor
intelligent. He does not build build
ings, he does not keep up his fences
let's the briers grow, only cultivates
part of his land, only has a few
head Of inferior livestock and a
Gcanty supply Of machinery.
Now, when the tax man comes
along which one of these farmers
both with equal opportunity, does he
tax the most.
Naturally, it. is the energetic, in
telligent, thrifty farmer; for the more
he has accomplished the more he Is
taxed.
Both of these farmers have equa
natural opportunity in the way o.
site or location value OF their land
both have equal opportunity in the
matter OF county administrations ant
public improvements.
Both should pay an equal amoun
and both would be taxed equally i

Practically all of the abuses which
were injected into the Pure Food law
by the preceding Administrations are
still in force. BenZoate of soda is
still regnant. The fumes of burning
sulphur are marching along undistnre-
ed. There is evidently lull in the
activities of the Administration OF
the law. A well known beverage de
clared by the Supreme Court mis-
branded and amenable to the Food
Law has not been molested. No at
tempt has been made to enforce the
law in regard to the bleaching or
-four. The repeal of the mixed four
law, that splendid safeguard TO the
purity OF our bread, has been Is city
approved by the Treasury Depart
ment.
"Mr. Hughes in his activities on
the Supreme Court has stood like q
stone wall for the proper Admin

change in the attitude Of the govern

The value of building, fences, priv

machinery and livestock are not add
ed in any way by public improve
ments; only the land they are on
Is enhanced; the land is rendered
more valuable for farm production
and the transportation of goods and
production to and from the market,
and this availability only should be
taxed.
Farmers with land of equal site val.
IL should be taxed equally.
Farmers with land of lower nat
ural value should be taxed lower and
all would be taxed according 10 en-
,, jcyment of common privileges; none
would be fined for their energy, in
telligence and thrift.
The farmer is the real, the basic
| producer Of wealth.
No matter what We do in the cities
we must eat, and what we eat comes
from the farmer.
The greatest injustice OF our pres
ent tax laws is their burden upon the
working farmer. And in two ways:
| In the first place, our present tax
laws are what make the fictitious
| land values in cities, and people of
cities have to use the money that
should go to the farmer for his pro-
ductions to pay interest on land
values.
In the second place, nearly all the
machinery of the state and county
governments Is used by city people
Most OF the legislation, administra'
ton and operation OF courts is for
the city people.
Public institutions and public I'm
provements are used for the most
part by the city people.
Taxes pay for these. Under the
present system of taxation the farm
err pays for more than his share
In farming districts more is paid
on personal property and other items
Of value than in the cities; for in
CITY most personal property can be
secreted even from a tax snooper.
If tax were placed on the site OF
location value OF land of which there
is so much in the cities and so little
on the farm, everyone would be taxed
Justly. The taxes would be borne
mostly by the cities, towns and VII
lagos where the site value of land OK
lists in the very large proportion.
Another thing:
With tax on the site value o
land only, irrespective of improve
ments, the city land would be forced
into its full use, men would be givei
more Jobs at better wages, whicl
would mean more market for the far
mer.
