S | Taxes—Two Kinds Some Can Be Passed on; Some Can Not g ] 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 mnot passed on. Taxes that can mnot 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- K 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, - ete. 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 acte. 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, ;i PAGE ELEVEN et A A S ADVERTISEMENTS T\ Try This Harné553 On Your Team Let me send you this wonderful no-buckle harness at my own expense. -Look atit.
