W L Crossman argues in the St Louis Courier for a single tax on land value to replace other levies. He contends land value rises from population and public works, would raise wages and lower rents, and push idle land into productive use benefiting labor. He cites coal lands and urban vacant lots to illustrate how ground rent could fund government while reducing poverty and inequality.

It notes improvements and cultivation stock raise land value, while bare land remains taxed, advantaging small owners with high improvement values relative to land and reducing overall tax burden on farmers who cannot shift costs.
