Little Discussion of Taxation Explanation
New Revenue Plan for

stricted hence the price can not be increased and
held at point which, if the land is sold, will re-
turn the the value of the land plus the taxes
he has paid on it. The price of land may go up
and stay up and an owner may sell at enough more
than he paid to get back the taxes on the land he
has paid, but the increase is not due to the owner
adding his taxes to the price with the intention of
getting his land taxes back The price of land is
controlled by other considerations entirely
But in the of shoes, for instance, the supply
is not constant. The price is readily increased by
restricting the supply. In other words, if a shoe
manufacturer can not get price for his product
which returns profit after all costs, including
taxes, are paid quits making shoes, or makes
fewer shoes. The price Immediately goes up and
he then gets his profit and above all costs, in
cludng taxes
This is the argument which is based the con-
tention that no land taxes be handed down.
Whether the reasoning is valid or not, the fact re-
mains that taxes unused, unimproved or vacant
land can not be handed down to Others and that it

is more difficult to hand down land taxes than any
other kind. So that, besides being unable to get
his taxes back through ability to fix his selling
price, the farmers chief tax is land tax, one Of
the most difficult to hand down to consumers, it be-
ing impossible, is readily proved, to hand down
taxes some kinds of land.
Now, in the opinion of many farmer leaders, as
we'll many business men, it follows from all this
reasoning that if legislation that will put more
taxes proportionally on the privilege Of holding
land, other than used and productive agricultural
land the farmer and the worker, and the consumer,
will greatly benefit. They say a tax would thereby
be created hitting those best able to pay it, without
penalizing industry or production, and it would be
tax those assessed would have difficulty in trans
ferring to consumers. For, if land taxes be
made larger proportion of the taxes paid by in
terests other than agricultural interests which al
ready pay mostly on land, conditions will be more
equalized. These farmers and business men were
back of the Nolan bill in the last congress, and
have introduced new taxation plan based on a
land tax, in the present congress. 1t is important
that Leader readers understand the proposition.
The Leader discussed in full the Nolan land value

would be to make other interests pay more nearly
the proportional amount of taxes on land as
farmers pay.
The three companion bills of the land site tax bill
follows:
The first bill repeals all existing transportation
and sales taxes except those tobacco, distilled
spirits, oleomargarine, habit-forming drugs and
products of child labor. The bill also repeals the
excess profits tax and the 10 per cent tax on the in
comes of corporations.
The second bill amends the income tax law so as
to distinguish between learned" and "unearned" in
come The tax "unearned" income, together
with the super-taxes, is retained, but the tax on
learned" incomes is cut in two. "Earned" income
is defined as income derived from personal services
or from business personally conducted.
"Uneamed" income is defined as income derived
from rents of land or other property, interest on
mortgages, notes or bonds, dividends on shares of
stock whether in the form of money or stock divi-
dends, and from any source other than the labor,
skill or business or industry personally conducted
of the person receiving the income.
The third bill amends the inheritance tax Begin

Instead of introducing the same bill in the pres

measure, together with three other bills, revamping
our entire federal taxation system. The bills, back

chants on Federal Taxation, have been introduced
in this session of congress by Representative Oscar
Keller of St. Paul, one of the Minnesota congress-

other costs back. The farmer does not membt
charge what he wants needs for en-
his goods; he asks what will be paid,
and has to take the offer. So the
farmer~can not pass his taxes on to consumers
This is of the chief reasons far1ningis an un-
profitable and unsafe business in comparison with
other businesses,
WHY LAND TAXES ARE
DIFFICULT TO ESCAPE
Also, the chief tax that farmer pays is ON his
land He pays more land taxes, proportionately
than other business or industry. And land taxes
can not be handed down to consumers as readily as
other taxes. Many political economists claim that
land taxes can not be handed down at al-that they
must be paid by the owner Of the land This is
certainly true in the Of unused, vacant or un-
occupied land, because the holder of such land pro-
duces nothing from it or by of it, and hence
sells nothing to the price of which he can add his
land taxes. The argument that no land taxes at
all can be handed down is based on the following
reasoning:
The supply of land is constant It never increases
or decreases. There is just much land on the
face of the earth today there was yesterday,
and as there will be tomorrow. The price of any
thing can be increased only by restricting the sup
ply. The supply Of land can not be reduced or re-

provements have been subtracted. In
the case Of farm land the exemptions
for improvements include buildings and
other improvements on the land, cost
of clearing, draining and maintenance
of fertility. With these exemptions,
only the biggest and most valuable
farms would pay the tax.
Figures obtained from the United
State census for 1920 for II states
show that on the average less than
four farmers out of each 100 would
have to pay taxes of 81 year or
more. In other words, over 96 per
cent Of the farmers are totally exempt.
Figures as to farmer exemptions have
been prepared in the case of only II
states, which is all that are available
at the census bureau. AS soon as the
government has the census returns on
value Of farms complied for the rest
of the states, the Farmers Federal
Tax league will issue a report as to
the number of farmers who would
have to pay taxes under the bill in
each state.
While this new taxing plan will
practically exempt used and produc-
tive agricultural Land, it will bring a
tremendous revenue from unused, un-
improved and vacant land both in
agricultural districts and in business
and industrial centers. The plan is
to place taxes, more on privilege and
less on industry and production, and to
formulate tax that it will be difficult
or impossible to hand down to the con-
sumner. One of the effects of the plan
