CRIMINAL WASTE
OF THE: UNITED STATES

In discussing the high cost OF living,
the part played by unnecessary taxes
on labor products, must not be forgot
ten. For example, the city of New
York, during the past four years, has
raised by taxation. the sum of $685.
O55,ooo. OF this $357.e74,ooo was de-
rived from taxation of land values re-
CARELESS of improvements, while
s45S,00o,o00 was obtained from taxa
ton of houses, machinery, merchants
stocks and other labor products.
AS 4 result OF the taxation of labor
the people of New York paid in four
years for all they consumed. $45S.00o,-
600 more than they should have been
required to pay. with a profit on the
amount besides. ;!
During the same period: land own
ers drew in ground rent over and,
above. all land. value taxes, paid;' the
sum OF $917, 100000. During the sam
period PUBLIC utility corporations
drew in. unearned profits !}22o 700, 900 !.
So in four years, landowners, includ-
ing owners of,public utility franchises,
