Editor Lemars Sun Dear It is very gratifying to see papers such as ones which are really nearest the the serious consideration to the most important questions of the day that is indicated in your number of February 20th, which has just reached as well as in the space which you devote to correspondence on the single and to which I want to add my Your own is so that to which I would subscribe that I am encouraged to point out wherein I think you err in holding a from the present system to the other the Single evidently involves an that of land values by the State would be confiscation of the private of and that taxes should be levied on real estate and I pass over the proposal that we should confine our attack to the retain land not already it is so clearly to meet any existing of land most to which value of any accrues being found in and nearly all long since passed into private we do not would to actually own because the of managing it to the best advantage would bo enormously As regards the I will assume that you concede our claim that land values of right belong to the people as a which is as much as to say that as when individuals occupy a piece of land having greater productive than about they thereby exclude the rest of the from enjoying the benefit of that greater the community is entitled to be such I will on the other that the community has allowed this right to lapse in the past and has even extended its protection to the individuals who have of superior advantages of this sort without which protection it is pretty certain that the advantages could not have been hold. If this were the end of wo might well say that an injustice had been done in the but that it was now too late to it. But it iu really the beginning of the For centuries landowners have boon levying upon the labor of have stood in the way of labor employing itself at of the license and protection foolishly extended to them by the We do not seek to take from them any gains of the but to forbid them for the The wrong being it is not a question of doing a counter wrong to rectify but of whether wo shall perpetuate the old wrong or stop it from going Yet oven this is not the most important purpose of the Single Tax chief gain to bo got from its 1. management of the Ian J of the country could well bo worse than that at present in The government owns an immense quantity of land and the leasing of it in tracts for a specified period would have all the force of an assessment and tux which it must bo admitted would have to bo done under the single And like as is now the case government the settler would bo able to transfer his claim and sell his subject to the next assessment of tax when lease In 50 years from now there will bo many largo cities on land now vacant and in the hands of Our correspondent Wo do not seek to take from them gains of the but to forbid them for the The wrong being it is not a question of doing a wrong to rectify but of whether wo shall perpetuate the old wrong or stop it from going But the evil complained of is being xtended every The SUN would forbid the taking of land as done in the our correspondent would Ho would allow of the seizure of land in large tracts by companies and Millions of acres are being grabbed every and the government and turns it all over and condemns it private to go down to heirs and assigns and the remotest The ovil is being aggravated and made more of remedial measures being as the interested parties more numerous and Even government homesteads are being rapidly wrenched from their possessors by iniquitous mortgage and turned over to speculators and distant and alien According to Henry George's ideas about squatters on any surveyed laud of the United States ought to be able to hold their homes against They should remain undisturbed in their holdings aslong as they pay the annual value assessed taxes on the or rent exacted by the state or They have found a opportunity for a homo and a What else is meant by Mr. George's The Sun only proposes the carrying out of his ideas in actual The land should bo preserved for the actual If it is not meant that the citizen may go on to any vacant quarter section of land and make his home there without then we confess wo have failed to understand the object of the single tax 2.
