MODE OF TAXATION
IMPORTANT ISSUE
MANNER of Levy Affects
Production of Wealth in
Very Vital Way
BY LESLIE EICHEL
Central Press Staff Writer


New York, March 12.-"All taxes
must evidently come from the pro-
duce of land and labor, since there is
no other source of wealth than the
union of human exertion with the ma
teral forces of nature"
Thus said Henry George in prog
ress & Poverty" which after 81 years
remains widely quoted book on mod
ern economics.
Henry George added:
But the manner in which equal a.
mounts of taxation may be imposed
may very differently affect the pro-
duction of wealth.
Taxation which lessons the reward
of the producer necessarily lessons
the incentive to production. Taxation
which is conditioned upon the act of
production, or the use of any of the
three factors of production, neces-
sarily discourages production.
''Thus taxation which diminiSheS
the earnings of the laborer or the re-
turns of the capitalist tends to render
the one less Industrious and intel
ligent, the other less disposed to save
and invest.
Taxation which falls upon the pro-
cesses of production interposes an ar
tifical obstacle to the creation of
wealth.
Taxation which falls upon labor as
it is exerted, wealth as it is used as
capital, and land as it is cultivated,
will manifestly tend to discourage pro
duction much more powerfully than
taxation to the same amount levied
upon laborers, whether they work or
play upon wealth whether used pro-
ductively or unproductively, or upon
land whether cultivated or left
waste"
That leaves precious little to tax,
without creating a blighting effect.
MODE OF TAXATION
Henry George went on:
1.-The mode of taxation is, in fact,
quite as important as the amount. -.
"a tax on date trees, imposed by
Mohammed Ali, caused the Egyptian
feliahs to cut down their trees. But
a tax twice that amount imposed on
the land produced no such result.
"a tax of 10 per cent on all sales,
imposed by the Duke of Alva in the
Netherlands, would, had it been main
tanned, have all but stopped exchange
while yielding but little revenue. -.
"All taxes upon manufactures, all
taxes upon commerce, all taxes upon
capital, all taxes upon improvements
-. have tendency to reduce the pro
duction of wealth. They should, there
fore, never be resorted to when it is
possible to raise money by taxes
which do not check production. This
becomes possible as society develops
and wealth accumulates. 80"
MONOPOLIES
President Roosevelt may say. that
his proposed tax on undistributed
profits of large corporations is a tax
on monopoly, and monoploies do not
produce but drain the people of their
funds.
Then, says Henry George, destroy
the monopolies rather than hinder all
business in an effort to reach those
giants.

NEW PERSONNEL

One vacancy on the Senate Dis
trict Committee resulted from the
election, Senator Robert D. Carey
of Wyoming falling by the wayside.
There will be three to be appointed,
however, due to Senator Thomas P.
Gore of Oklahoma and Senator
James CouzenS having been beaten
in the primaries.
OF prime interest to Washing
ton, especially the Government
employees, was the victory of Sena'
tor William j. Bulow. Senator
Bulow came to Washington with
a record of being a champion
orator. With one exception only
he kept his mouth shut during
all debates.
He was chairman of the Civil
Service Committee that gave the
employees their changes in the an
nual and sick leave.

AS far as washington was con-
cerned it appeared to be a darn
dull evening, that election one. 1t
wasn't more than half over before
most of Governor Landon's en-
thusiastic supporters gave up and
went home.
The peppiest crowds around the
newspaper offices dwindled away
at the first extra. Nothing to keep
them up all night. Radio took its
toll on the downtown crowds.
Far into the night some with
the real old spirit of seeing it
through to the bitter end kept
their loud speakers up to just the
right pitch, and their windows
open so their neighbors could get
all the benefits.

palaces, the spacious squares that
dot this city, but partly on islands,
criss-crossed by canals laced with
graceful bridges.
Hours can be spent in the

cludes much of the beautiful win
ter palace. In its two-miles OF
majestic halls, there are priceless
treasures including a marvellous
collection of paintings compared,
by many, favorably with that
housed in the Louvre.
NEvsKY PROSPECT
A stroll along the Nevsky Pros

the world, will yield interesting
sights. There is the glorious ST.

statues. Monplaisir, Peter the
Greats Dutch palace, is another
gem that has been perfectly pre-
served.
Fortress MUSEUM
A visit to the Peter and Paul
fortress on the banks Of the Neva
is very we'll worth while, especially
for those who like to go through
old buildings.
The fortress, which served as a
political prison for more than two
centuries, was built in 1903. Now
it is preserved as a museum and
place for tourists to visit.
Most of the squares are sur
rounded by the cleaning facades
of marble palaces, with usually
border of gardens. Such is hand
some Catherine square, now pub
lie park, with its statue Of Cath
crime II.
The Uritzki square, with its
statues and triumphal arch and
quadriga, done by the architect,

It's going to Vice Pres Garner
look sort of one-sided with 70
Democrats on one side and 81 Re
publicans and ProgressiveS on the
other. About the only thing they
can do is to curve the center aisle
or else seat some Democrats With
the Republicans.
Several times before this has
been necessary in Republican
times. Leaders are usually little
reluctant to adopt the latter
method however, as the men sit
ting together are apt to get into
too close discussions and turn
around a bit now and then. 1t
wouldn't hurt much if a couple
of them did anyway.
