LAND NATIONALISATION.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, — 1 think f'-o thanks of tho community are duo u M for hi? lecture on Land La.iou«..-..tion. That is a high form of Chris iani’y, which teaches a man to help h : a {. I„w-men to be something better than a criminal or pauper. As yon assert land Is already too heavily taxed will you kindly point ont what in your opinion aro proper subjects of taxation, and yon will oblige a number of your readers and, —Yours, etc., One of£tub People.
|l’o THE EDITOR, Sib, —In your sub-leader on Land Nationalisation tho following sentences) occur ;
“ The proposal to make the land, assessed at its improved value, bear the whole of the taxation of the country, suggests confiscation in its very worst form, and Is hardly worthy of a moment’s consideration.
The land Is already taxed far and away beyond its power to bear, and the imposition of further burdens could only increase the difficulties.”
I would be glad, sir, if y°u would kindly point out what it Is besides land that bears the taxation of the country. Is not land, “ the eource of all breaih," and must it not finally bear all taxa ion, however indirectly imposed ? —Youra, olt?., Radical.
