LAND TAX PROPOSALS. CONDEMNED BY PROFESSIONAL MEN. DUTY ON MINERALS TO BE DROPPED. United Press Association—By'Electric Telegraph I Copyright, | Received July 13, 8.25 a.m. LONDON, July 12. The Surveyors' Association se- ' verely condemns the tax on undeveloped land, which, they assert, will force land upon the market before it is wanted. The Liverpool Law Society has published a memorandum showing the enormous cost of making valuations. Sir Charles Dilke, M.P., in a speech at a miners' demonstration at Dean, in Gloucestershire, stated that the duty on u-gotten minerals will be dropped. He objected to the substitution of a tax on royalties, and preferred that mines should be taxed as undeveloped land.
