And Asks Him to Explain Some of
the Conflicting Statements.
Oregon City, May 13.
Editor Courier:
I gincere'v regret that through
accident the article written in re
ply to Mr. Esgleston's statements
was mislaid and lost, and consid
ering the limited lime I have at
rny disposal, it is impossible for
rne to cover the details of his
statements as completely as I had
done in the letter that was lost.
However I will try to make a few
remarks, and try to show Mr.hg-
gleslon in what points he erred
in very short form, and I trust
Mr. Eggleston will excuse me for
not being more explicit as I was
in the article that was lost.
In the fir place Mr. Eggleston
says that I am making a poor
guess in saying that the person
al property of the farmers, com
pared with the vast amount of
wealth of the cities and corpora
lions was not worth while men
tioning.
I say it is not a guess but a
fact and living right on a farm
and among farmers, I ought to
know what 1 am talking about
Neither need you worry, Mr. E
gleslon, that I forget to include
farmers' livestock, .implements,
household lurniture, etc. the
latter which you would no doubt
oftimes not have as a gift
Then Mr. Eggleston starts out to
define what constitutes the pro
duct of labor, which certainly is
a sorry-looking attempt.
Now I have not the time to
quote Mr Eggleston'H 'state
merits on this point, and the rea
der may refer to the Courier of
May 3d if they do riot remember
how lie explained what consti
tuted the product of man's labor,
and compare it with the explan
ation I shall heheby give, and
judge for himself which side is
the most reasonable
I agree with Mr. Eggleston
that land as such is not the pro
duel of man s labor, but I say that
it becomes the product of his la
bor the instant he pays for it, the
compensation he received for la
bor performed through his own
mental or physical exertion. As
I slated before if a person saves
$1,000 out of the proceeds of his
labor and uuys an unimproved
piece of land, then it necessarily
follows that this unimproved
land is the product of his labor,
Mr. Eggleston's statement to the
contrary notwithstanding. If,
for instant these $1,000 had
been given to me as a present or
otherwise, arid I did not have to
perforin any labor for it whalev
er, then of course I would buy
nothing of which I could say that
it is the prouuet of of my labor
jvir. I'.ggieston says mat it is
not the land but, only the Im
provements on the land which
can be the products of man's la
bor. Now I .mn show Mr. Eggles
ton that Hie improvements on a
Kino's innd nay not be the prod.
ii 1 or his labor. Supposing thai
a iimii tin ill a hinie, barn, sheds,
chicken house, stables, etc., and
. n fo I, is I rid cleared tip and p.t
i"' -l"r cultivation nnd has a'l
this vork .lone I v laborers, and
paid thorn with money that he be
ct'nii' possessed i oilier than by
working for himself, Ihan nil
tho improvements on this land nre
impossible as the products of
his labor, yet Ihe single taxers
unconditionally insist thai these
Improvements which may NOT
be the products of man's labor
must bo exempt from taxation,
whilo nn unimproved piece of
land which MAY bo Ihe product of
n person's labor, by .reason of bis
exchanging bis hard work for it,
must by nil means be tho only
menus to draw revenue lo main
tain our government.
Is this right nnd fair?
Next Mr. Eggleston niisquoles
me ny saying I hat I made the
supposition of gelling rich by
running an automobile instead of
buying n farm, when as a mailer
of fact I said that I may make
more money wilh tho automobile
than I would wilh my unimproved
farm, which, by the way, would
not be a very dilllcult thing to do
and yet I would not have a single
cent of taxes to pay under single
lax, as personal property is ex
empt, regiu'dless of Hie fact of
whether it s tho product or ones
labor or 'int. Mr. Eggleston
thinks I would have lo keep my
automobile in an aeroplane to gel
out of paying taxes in Ihe form of
rent, lint what would rent of
Innd 0x8 feet amount to, especially
when the owner of the bind is
promised a reduction of his taxes
by single tnxers?. Don't tell me,
Mr. Eggleston. Unit this must be
land worth $25 a square foot.
Not just knowing bow to get ar
ound the justice nnd fairness of
rny remark in regard to personal
protection, Mr. Eggleston would
have mo to make a run down to
California with my
where I nmy be held up in the
"wilds of San Francisco" nnd asks
what right I had lo get protection
thoro, while I pay taxes only in
Oregon, if taxes are for the pur
pose of personal protection.
It seems hardly necessary lo
make any commenf on this, but
for Ihe benefit of Mr. Eggleston
I will say that it is the social ob
ligation of any government as a,

and their interests within its
boundaries.
Mr. Eggleston's remarks in this
regard seern exceedingly ridicu
lous to me, and his saying that if
taxes are for personal protection
then the costs of prosecuting the
robbers wouid have to be charged
up to the victim who was robbed,
sounds like if a man had his
house insured and it burns up
then the man who owns the house
would have to pay Ihe insurance
ridiculous, is it not?
The whole tone of Mr. Eggles
ton's article is like a lawyer
searching for arguments, in de
pending on an "impossible case."
However I shall give Mr. Eggles
ton another chance to explain
some things about single tax that
I cannot understand.
You say that land is not taxed,
but only the community value of
land is what you propose to tax.
And again you claim that it is not
right to tax he product of man's
labor. Very well, then. For ar
gument's sake let us look this up
from the single tax point of view
Suppose then that a dozen of
us farmers lake to the somewhat
scantily inhabited sections ofClac
karnas county, where the com
munity value of land is, let us
say, $10 an acre. We each buy
80 acres or more and start in to
build homes, barns, fences, clear
land, make roads, school houses,
churches, etc.. The land being
worth $10 an acre is assessed at
that (igure throughout. Now
there are others who own land
amoungst U3 farmers who do not
improve their land and hold for
speculation purposes, and whose
land is also assessed at the same
(Igure. Now a year or two after
wards the assessor comes out
and in enquiring about the value
of land comes to the conclusion
that the community value of thai
land is now S25 per acre. He says I
' Say, Mr. Speculator, the value of
your land has been increased $25
per acre." Very well and good.
Next he comes to one of us and
says the community value of this
land is now $25 per acre and will
have to be assessed for that sum.
We say "now look here, Mr. did
you not tell us that the product
of our labor would not be taxed?"
Are not these improvements the
products of our Tabor? What
created the increase in the com
munity value of this land if not
our improvements and labor?"
Are you single taxers not taxing
labor by increasing tho taxes on
the increased value of land due to
tho improvements nnd labor done
on it? You will say this is true,
but tho speculator will havo to
pay as much as you who did the
improving. This is well nnd
good, but don't tell us then thai
you are not going lo tax Ihe pro
duct of our labor. Furthermore
the present system provides for
the increased assessment of land
which has been increased by the
population and improvements of
Ihe community, nnd if this is not
lone in some rases it is not the
fault of the system so much ns il
is the metli id employed to get at
orrect valuations of all oronerlv.
hut, which would, however, bn ns
intricate under the single lax as
under the present system.
Now there is another point in
which the single tax system is in
consistent. This is simply a
matter of right or wrong. Is it
right to tax personal property,
which you say is the product of
iniior, or is it wrong? You say it
is wrong to lax personal properly
nnd that it should be exempt from
taxation. And again you fellows
tell us that personal property
DOES pay taxes in tho form of
rent. Now if it is not right for
personal pnperty to have to pnv
taxes, it is also not right for it to
pay taxes in the form of rent. If
on Ihe other hand it is right for
personal properly to imv its shit"'
of the taxes, then tell mo whv i.i
tho world you nre dodging around
trying to tell people that it pays
taxes, too, only in the form of
rent?. Why not. come rhrbt o.O
lircct nnd cull it "tax" ns ii

instead of walking right past it?
Everyone in the world knows
the dilTerence between the words
rent and "lax" and those who
automobile, do not protend to know it had bet
ter look in Webster's dictionary
nnd read it often enough lo com
mit it to memory.
Mr. Eggleston wrote in a former
article that the best, argument for
single tax is the fact that corpor
ations and nionied interests nre
opposed to it. Now if flr,

county can be bulldozed by the

What Oregon City Hobo Thinks of
Charles Shields' Article .
Oregon City, May 21.
Editor Courier:
I saw in the Oregonian of May
12 a cartoon and letter by Charles
H.Shields, wiili great scare head
lines "Single Tax Plan is Hevolu
tionarv. Adoption of Doctrine
would Mean Complete Distruc
tion of Land Values. The Aim of
Single Taxer is to Confiscate
Land Ownership" and a whole
lot more of this kind of Tommy
rot.
I used to know a Shields and hi:
was just about as pin headed as
this .one, and why such a great
paper as the Oregonian will al
low such lies and trash to go into
its columns is past my ken.
I have only figured on Claeka
mas county, after leaving out
three townships for the forest re
serve, which would be untaxible,
it is 36x5i miles, and multiplied
would give 1944 square miles of
territory. Now multiply by 640
and it will give 1,244,160 acres.
Now the tax collected in I D09 was
$427,239. Now we will divide the
dollars by the acres and we tlnd il.
no ouite 34 cents an acre. Now
if this would be the ruination of
a country, it ought lo be ruined,
and any one that will put. such
stuff in a paper ought to be tak
en to the woodshed and given a
good talking to with a clapboard.
