~ proportion to population. In a
sEatement to the press Mr.. Bailey
3ilowed that his proposed tax would
pc open and aboveboard, that every
man would know what he was paving
aud how much. Moreover, it would
stimulate production by forcing land
INTO use ana thus afford larger en-
2ioyment to labor and capita. It is
~ striking contrast with all other
proposals yet submitted in congress.
He said further:
1T should be borne in mind that
land values are essentially commun j.
W values, they grow with the growth
Of population and they are greatest
where population is most dense and
where the division of labor is carried
20 it's highest point. Most of our
revenues are now derived by indirect
methods from those least able to bear
the burden. Many taxes are shifted
rom the apparent buyer to the ulti-
mate consumer. The method / pro-
pose has the high merit of simplicity
and the tax would merely take for
Ahe use OF the whole people a value
which belongs to them of right.
Would not this tax fall particularly
upon the farmers of the country? No.
farm values are mostly improvement
values. Land values are chiefly to
be found in the great Industrial CEN
