The Dominion of Canada raised during the year i910 the sum of S60.-

it'.ti.i34 is the form of customs duties. and the sum ot.$\5.253.35li in Ju* I--rm of etciss GW twoplemoalize ie ittipnrtmce of this facts We are so \"U¢1l\ 0¢¢.iili0 etfw think of the tarift ini terms of .the welhworn contro- iersy botweengffce trade and protection. and to hear it spoken of as a form tt partlculur privlicgo in favor of thc mauufacttirlnfclnsscs. that we are apt tw iosc out of siiht the larger ot fiscal aspect of the tariff system. Take for iistance. some of the items: in the ycnrlillu the ditty paid up machines anti tnachlnery (ti charge which. by-the wav. came largely out _of thc pockets _of thc uianufacttirers thomsoli-es), amounted to 83.084067. The importing jeivoilcrs paid to the government $447,870. The duty collected on faticy goods nmoiinted to $1077,ii81 lillectrlcal npptiratits contributed a revenue of $909,483. Drugs unc chemicals-contributed $601,313.

We see hors the broad contrast that there is between direct and indirect

taxation, Indirect ttuiill-1011 il the nemo given to such charges its customs and excise, which are paid in the first plnce. not by the consumer himself ui by the importer-or manufacturer. e

Direct taxation includes such charges its property taxes. luconic tiiirca.

poli taxes. and so forth. which are levied directly upon the citizen lti rctivfirl to tho property it-iiioh ha actne\ly~owns.

Now, public revenue has got to he raised ln one fttshlon or another. if

we do pm rpige li, hy means of the tariff we must fall back tipon direct tttxrt- imi. If Canada ivere to abolish the whole of its tariff systr-tn to-morrow. we ltouhl have to rnlso some sixty or seventy million dollars by some other titin. More tiinn tbiit,--and the fact is not generally' appreciated,-oiir (lotta- tilan provinces. though they ici‘y'no customs duties. in reality drtt.\v it very i~t=avy revenue out of the proceeds of the national tariff system. In our plan '~|' government the Ilnniinion ot Canada distributes to tho different provinces t-itch year i"_°t',v ltirgc sums ivitlcli practically come out of the proceeds of‘-this iidiroct taxation. in the year 1910 ine governinent. paid out -$9,861,388 in his fashion. -_I-1vitientI_v. then. lf the Dominion government had not its tori! ivstein on which to rol_v for this money. the provlnctie would have to raise it an best titer could for thcmselvsii. anti the only way in which this could he tlm_ie_ would bti by linving recourse, to a greater or loss extent, io 'direct uxtitloit of thc citizens. = 1 o ' ' ' .

_ The ltltror of lllrect ’l`sxstltin. _ _ e Noiv..nu doubt direct taxntlon is not without its advantages. The Ciiizéli

` _ ' its I-ncqtiulltlcs.

But. perlittns. the tliiilcitlty with the -lirect tax goes even deeper iliilli

this. \\'hatevor_may he its _nioritii in theory. it is extremely dldioitit in prac- iitc to itppprtitiii and levy any such charge in tt ,iiist und equitable manner. liirect taxes in tlieory_ ought toffttll on al* forms of property tiliho. _In prac- ice, some kinds of property stiffer mitch more -tlisn others. Property which is visible nnd tzitiplble, ns for instance. ftirm lands and buildings and ll-_ve

stnek, etinnot possibly escape. Pi-ogieriy such 'us balances in tits hsrtk or the earnings or professional men matt! y slips through the net thus held out by tht- tat guthcter. nnd, of course. the more one kind of propel-ty escapes, the 1.:oi'c lieaviiy do other of property' cnntribiite.

-Direct ‘Taxation ln the-liiilted States. ,

if one wit-ilitis to ses the tilfiicultles encountered in direct taxation, one

las only to turn to the existing situation in the different Status of the Amer- --uu. Union. 'i'lio_v receive no subeidyas our provinces do from the customs in-c<~ipts of the Federal govcmment. The state, county, nnd township author-

izies draw it very large _proportton. in the case of the tivo ltittei _practically- iii. of their financial support from _thc proceeds of a d_i_r<_ict _tax :lid on all

inrms of property. The tnx applies both to reniund per|nn¢;_l_-jit'opc_rty-hind. tenses. buildings. liorses, ciirriiiflee. furniture, stock an_ti'a__tit_‘es. mortgages lends. etc. At. its origination t 'see-inert ctiiin'ent.i_v're:tsonnbic_ 'i'i1e Slater were forbidden to levy import tiud -export-duties, -and to levy-excise dntios would tend to drive out manufacturers to a more favored locality; they there- iore, of necessity. tell back on direct taxes- -And of all such. ti sinirloial. itid on all forms of property alike. seemed to commend itself as the .most uni- form nnd equitable. ln pructicc it has siibwn ltsc_lf to be distressingly ine- quitabie. - - » » - ~ Y ~ - t _

_ The llisirilitttien of the Tait. -

This is due in pnrt- to the mniiper of the ttssessmcnt. which l$_.iirade ini

fellows: The State authorities oomptite thc titnouot of tho tiirpct tax needed tm- than purposes, and divide it onions the counties in the proportion ot the value of assessed-property in each. To tho sum thus called for each county adds thc amount heeded for. its own use and then distribtttos it in like msn- `ner -among its townships. again according to the proportional value of the hsscsscd property in cttcli. To this sum thc toimt-iliip ttdds ‘what is needed for its own purposes. usually the largest amottnt _of all The total thus reached is uistributml stiiong nil the propert.\' holders of the township accord- ing to their proportion of assessed property; in other words, the totltl of 'lic assessed property is divided by the total tax- ttrbc collected. Intl H ta! -'atc is thus obtained. which is levied on all property. ~‘If. for example, the total of the property was worth $5.0U,0.titit'J..aiitI the totttl tax to be collected .uns $100,000, then the rate taxwotiid bc put at one-Mtictli, or tivo percent i‘tider such it system, then, everythintz turns on 'the asscssinetit. if one county has been assessed for very much less property _than itoctuaily has, ittcii the amount. of the tax assigned to it by the state will bo. ver_v_mttch less than it should be. bitt at the expense of the other cotinties,-for-thc ratesll round will need to bo higher in order to supply tho fined qugntity of money fi-:ked for. Or again let us suppose that in one ofithe to\\'nshlps_ the property its tissesscdfor very much less. tiian lt is worth. "Iihen. the township in which the assessment is too low is given less than its share-of--thc county tax. hut always at the expanse of the other toivnshipti, on account of the _rate being of necessity higher than would hc ner-ded if the assessment were larggr. Finally, within the township itself, prcisely the same thing happens among individuals. ‘ ‘

. The lioncsi .lltiu Siifftirs. _

Anyone wliosc property it-i put nt. too low :L raitiatioti. .or not valued at

::1i. escapes. at the expense or his neighbors: mid. the morfe. the property in general escapes asses-.iiiient and reniains invisible, the higher becomes the ina rate. iichco has arisen what is calleti coiupetitivc under-assessment. 'l‘Iic assessors, moreover. being elective nfliccrs. elected _in inpiit. case; for tt very short tcrtn, :ire pr.-rsoiinlly interested in not making tivo total property

of their :iron stand st too high a figure. ' _.

_ _ 'Phe upshot has been .that ivlillc t.lic systcni was originally rieviseti as thc nioiit equitable form of universal taxation possible. in its actual operation nothing, could bc more vicious and lnequitahle l'»`oi' it is to no _observed that t in reality _ditiorimirttstes most unfairly between tlifiereiit kinui-i of property llc-tl estate. for cttnmpletlittidspntl builtliugtsi. is mucli Irina easy to conceal than suob_-forms of property as slitircti in bank stotzit, bonds, debentures. etc ln illustration of this it may bc t‘nsutioiie.d'tii.it in thc nssessincnt of property in Brooklyn in 1895, real estate constittttcd over iiinety-clirht per rent oi' thr rpm] -,-"lung, g'0m¢._v0p.r,»; ago (1884), a tax coitiinission in West \'lt-ginifi re pot-tt-ti In -refereitcc to pcriiotisi property. “”i'hiiigs litivc come to auch ti con- tlitioii lit Wt-st. \'i_rginia. that as regartls paying taxes on this class of prop- ¢:~t_v.
