1 54 THE A B C OF TAXATION “ It is a question of applying land values to common use as far as they will go, or as much of them as may be needed, as the case may prove to be.”* (3) I believe in the classification,formulated by the New York Ford Franchise Act, of a public franchise as “land,” and a public franchise value as “land value,” together with the plainly consequent converse truth, viz., that the site value of land is a private franchise value, because land depends for its value upon those same concrete and tangible things that give value to a public franchise. (4) 1 believe with Henry George that "in truth the right to the use of land is not a joint or common right, but an equal right; the joint or common right is to rent, in the economic sense of the term. Therefore it is not necessary for the State to take land; it is only necessary for it to take rent.” Accordingly I believe that a man who owns land owns the site, and every right and privilege, fee, title, etc., pertaining to the land, from zenith to earth’s centre, exclusive and absolute, as against any other individual, but never theless subject always to the right of eminent domain, and to the claims of the community to its share in the value of those rights and privileges, through the sovereign power of taxation. (5) I believe in this single tax doctrine of Henry George, because it is broad and catholic like the air, the sunshine, and all other bounties that heaven sends alike upon the just and the unjust. It knows no dis tinction of race, denomination, party, sect, or creed. It knows no socialism, individualism, communism, anarchism, Greek, barbarian, bond, or free. The Land * Louis F.
