THAI "ENTERING WEDGE."
For several weeks The Islander
has been publishing, among its legal
notices, the proposed amendments to
the state constitution which are to be
voted upon at the general election this
fall. Every yoter should read them
carefully. The dangerous element in
the first is the proposition to confer
upon all municipal corporations in the
state the right to "fix and determine
by majority vote ot the qualified elec
tors voting thereon the class or classes
of property upon which taxes for mu
uicipal purposes shall be levied, which
tax shall be uniform as to persons and
class.
This is the much talked of "entering
wedge", of the single tax idea, and the
danger which lurks in it can be more
clearly comprehended in the light of
the supreme court's decision that for
purposes of taxation every school dis
trict is a municipal corportion. It is
obvious, therefore, that the fusionists
propose to iuvest every city, town and
school district with the power of local
option in matters of taxation, and the
extent to which exemptions would be
carried under such authority can be
readily imagined. The fusionists have
been growing bolder and more insatiate
in their demands in this direction since
their first legislature played out its
comedy of errors and its members rode
back to their homes on free passes "un
wept, unhouored and unhung." This
is quite conclusively shown by the de
mand on the subject of taxation made
by the fusion joint conventions at
Ellensburg, at the dictation of the
single tax leaders of the state, , and
which finds expression in the follow
ing plank of the utionist platform:
"We demand the •nbmission to the people oi
the state of Washington of a constitutional
amendment that will permit exemptions from
taxation of personal property and improve
ments in and upon land."
This county was represented by sev
eral delegates in that convention, and
the present chairman of the fusionisl
county committee* Mr. Wold, was s
member of the committee '■-. which
framed the platform. In a recent in
terview with Chairman McLaughlin
of the futionist state committee; thai
gentleman is quoted as saying:
"I am a single-taxer, and in common witl
>■ erery other single-taxer in the state, I favor th<
passage of a law exempting personal property
and improvements on land, as mentioned in th<
plank in the Ellensburg platform. We single
axers don't expect to change the present sys
tern at one fell swoop. What we hope to ac
complish is to have our.system, that of th<
•ingle tax, worked into the laws of our stab
slowly . and by degrees. ilf the amendmen
which we demand in the Ellensburg platform i
adopted and laws are passed carrying it int
effect It may be regarded as a step in the direc
«on of single tax. • • • ThVsingl
Jaxtneaas the taking of rents: from" real prop
*rty, according to its rental \ value, which is cr«
ated by the commiwity in which the property I
located and never by the individual owner, an.
Civing them to the community, as against th
: U faking away from any one \ that which \he &r<
vJ ates himself by his brain or hand. We reali*
|hat to do this at out fell swoop would amoun
!to confiKaaon;<i It is our purpose, however t
»}owly and in a series of years gradually destro
the speculative value of land, substituting one
system for the other.
Now there is no good reason why
every farmer in San Juan county who
believes in the wisdom of such an ad
mitted policy of gradual "confiscation"
should not vote the fusionist ticket this
fall. It is the proper thing for every
man to do who believes that the entire
burden of taxation should be laid not
upon land areas but upon land values
and that all forms of personal property
should be exempt, including notes,
bonds, mortgages, railroad, bank and
other corporation stocks and securities;
all sorts of merchandise for sale; the
rolling stock of railroads; all machine
ry, labor saving devices and mechani
cal appliances of mills, factories and
workshops; the great herds of cattle,
sheep and horses belonging to million
aire stockmen, as well as the horse and
cow of the poor man—all these things
and many more to be free from tax,
with a view to making the burden
upon land so heavy as to amount to
gradual confiscation and ultimate pub
lic ownership. There can be no ques
tion as to the real intent of this insidi
ous proposition. So preposterous and
revolutionary is it that even the lead
ing organs of the fusionists, the Seattle
Times and Spokane Spoksman-Beview,
realize the danger which it threatens
and are urging their readers to vote
against the proposed amendment,
which, radical as it is, proposes onlj' a
moderate change as compared with the
demand of the state platfojm of the
fusionists adopted by the triple alliance
at Ellensburg.
CONCERN ING WOOL.
The Ogden (Utah) "Standard" in a
recent issue earnestly advises the Sil
ver Republicans of the West not to
lose sight of the important relation
which the Protective principle bears
to the welfare and prosperitity of the
masses. The "Standard," an ardent
supporter of free coinage, is not blind
to the beneficent effects produced by
the Dingley tariff. After reciting the
statistics showing that under this law
our imports of wool fell from 400,000,
---000 pounds in 1897 to 135,000,000 pounds
in 1898, and calling attention to the
fact that, allowing for wool re-exported
and still remaining in bond with
duties unpaid, the consumption of
foreign wool has been reduced to less
than 73,000,000 pounds, the "Standard"
clinches the argument thus:
"The change in conditions, therefore,
from a Democratic to a Republican
tariff, results in a benefit to the Ameri
can wool-growing farmer of 327,000,000
pounds of wool in one year. That is to
say that under Republican Protection
to American farm products the Ameri
can farmers have been furnished a
market for 327,000,000 pounds of wool
that they would not have had under
the Democratic policy."
The "Standard" might have gone
a step farther and added that as the
result of the Protective policy the pur
chasing power of every pound of wool
grown by American farmers is nearly
what it was under the vicious free
wool of the Wilson law.
"We point with pride," says the
Chicago Inter Ocean, "to our fulfill
ment of the promise of Tariff reform.
With a return of Protection there has
come a change in the balance of trade.
Under Cleveland we were shipping
millions of gold to Europe in exchange
for goods bought from foreigners. Un
der McKinley Europe, is shipping mil
lions of gold to us in exchange for our
products and manufactures. We point
with pride to the revival of trade, the
increased demand for labor, the ad
vance of wages, the improved condi
tion of the agricultural class that we
predicted as a result of return to Re
publican policies. The coming winter
will make no call for free soup houses
for the hundreds of thousands of un
employed."
It is estimated that the amount paid
out in wages for 1898 will be in round
numbers $380,000,000 more than the
total paid out in 1805 under the Wil
son law.
