Taxes—Two Kinds
Some Can Be Passed on Some
Can Not
DITOR Nonpartisan Lead
er: In Mr. Fussell's ar
ticle of March 8, "Taxes
in North Dakota and
Elsewhere," I find this
statement: "In the last
analysis the general public pays every
tax that is levied."
It is quite true that the general
public, the ultimate consumers, pay all
of certain kinds of taxes that are not
passed on. Taxes that can not be
passed on include:
Taxes on inheritances.
Taxes on unearned incomes.
Taxes on unused land of all kinds,
such as city lots, farm lands, mineral
lands, waterpower, etc. In this class
come royalty taxes, net value tonnage
taxes, etc. I might add all taxes on
the natural and socially created value
of land are not passed on to the gen
eral public. They tend to make it
harder to hold land idle, hence to re
duce the selling price of land, bring
ing more land into use and tending to
reduce prices and benefit the con
sumer.
Taxes that are passed on include:
All taxes on merchandise in stores,
store buildings, fixtures, etc., but not
on the land where the stores stand.
All taxes on raw materials, ma
chinery and finished products of
manufacturing, but not the land where
the factories stand.
All taxes on farm crops, machinery,
cattle, equipment, etc., but not taxes
on farm lands.
All taxes on railroads and other
public service corporations, as they
add to the cost of service.
All tariff, internal revenue and ex
cise taxes, also all business licenses
and every other burden of similar sort.
A careful study of this analysis will
show what taxes ought to be abolish
ed and what taxes ought to be increas
ed. C. J* BUELL.
St. Paul, Minn.
Mr. Buell's analysis is worthy of
careful study. Mr. Fussell's article in
the Leader, however, dealt only with
direct general property taxes, ex
pressly excluding taxes on incomes, in
heritances, etc. The expression,
"every tax that is levied," was used in
the narrow sense, to distinguish taxes
levied directly on general property
from indirect taxation, on inheritances,
incomes, etc.—THE EDITOR.
WINTER OR SPRING RYE
In answer to an inquiry as to
whether it is best to sow winter rye
or spring rye in the spring, H. L.
Walster of the agronomy department
of the North Dakota Agricultural col
lege states: "We have very little ex
perimental evidence of this, but on
the whole it appears that it is not good
practice to sow winter rye in the
spring. If you must sow rye in the
spring, you ought to sow a spring
variety. At an average of four years'
growth at our Dickinson substation
in Stark county our North Dakota
winter rye No. 959 has yielded on the
average of 27.2 bushels per acre,
while spring rye seeded alongside this
has yielded only 19.5 bushels per acre.
Trials are being carried on at the
North Dakota experimental station in
the seeding of winter rye in the spring
so that data on this will be available
in the near future."
INFLUENZA COSTS
Figures compiled by one of the large
life insurance companies of New York
City show that the influenza epidemic
caused 450,000 deaths in this country
and cost the insurance companies
$240,000,000.
