New York, May lathe problem
of the high cost of living can be
solved by increasing the cultivation of
the tillable land of the country
through the taxation of unimproved
land and untaxing improvements and
other products of, labor, according to
brief filed with the Federal Trade
Commission by the committee on the
high cost of living and made public
here Saturday.
The brief urges the commission to
recommend that some such action be
taken by the legislatures of twenty
eight states, which possess a total
farm acreage of 43O,S15 $50 acres, it
is stated, with only 250,875, 1888 acres
improved. In all other states. the
brief states, the change should be
made possible by constitutional
amendment. at is evident" the brief
reads, "that the unimproved land in
these states forms a considerable
acreage and that complete utilization
of this land and of all farm land in
these states can be achieved through
the proposed change in the tax, which
would materially improve the food
situation in the United States within
a year."
