Who Will The Single Tax Benent? Nor*.— In opening our columns to Mr. Winiam Porter for tne expreas'on of th? single tax idea, we wish it understood that we do not by any mean, accept all Ibc theories of the tax refonneis. It Is important to keep pace . with Ihe iToliiilon ot ideas, honee Iks Wat* welcomes communications from those who. ate shaping policy. Mr. Porter lolls of tome advantages of the n w system In present issue ol Ibis Jour, nal. II la well woith a camful reading not.— Ko.

With s practical demon. themselves s> to whether the consumer benefited of not. Facts are very stubbooks lull of logic. Pnder the present system the farmer personal property and Improvements in general. With the single tax he simply he pays taxes on a *5,000 farm with taxes at 3 per cent., his tax wUi he *100. It Is very generally recognised Utal land is worth the same amount ss the improvements which are upon 1L It follows then that one-half the value of land and improvements, is the real value of the land. Therefore In a *".000 farm ' the land value Is *8.800. The Single Tlx would .be 3 per cent of *3,500 1 amounting to *50. The sequel is evident. ' To tax land values would be to take " taxes off the burden of the farmer |tr.d

a place them where they belong, viz: on cull to assess personal property, but eily cannot be hidden, anil their value easily estimated. Tho cities would then bear their Just burden of taxation. Tgkc for example ten Improved lots, , and assume a. fuilows. Average assesed value of lots.each.* 005 ami improvements— each 1 480 Total- «3 835 Taxed 3J phr cent *52 40 This Is the prut, it tax.

Ihe ability to purchase necessaries at s lower rate, for the Single Tax removes aH other taxes, no matter what their name, it la Indeed, and truth absolute, Free Trade. ■ ff». I'ohtih.
