PRIVATE ENTERPRISE VERSUS STATE CONTROL.
\ Sir,—I am not a groat boliever in Staio
I of land is worth L'.500 to sell i t is worth £500 to tax. “Pair Play” confuses income tax
TH E T IME S . F R I D A Y . DECEMBER 19. 1919 LOW MOOR.

j with taxation of Ground \ alues. Income tax is chargeable on incomes from all sources over I £130 whether earned or unearned. Hut mde-
Control in general but if 1 were 1 do not think Mrs. Orenvillo’.s arguments against i t would shake my coulidonce. I t is easy to say, as slio did to Clitheroe Women Unionists last week, that “ natioualism would bo the begin ning of the downfall of our Empire.” I t is the sort of statement the prolessioual politieiaii does make. A Labour man can as easily retort that tlie Conservative Party has brought us to the edge of the preci])ice and is doing its best to iiush us over. And the Labour man would have more evidence in his favour than Mrs. Greuville possibly can have. She points a warning linger to State Control examples during the war, and cites the Post Uliice, and, of course, telephones. Why men tion happenings during the war, when eyery- thing was in a jumble aud with niost^ folks concerned trying their utmost to dodge Erauce ; social trouble all over the world :tnd Flanders, ready with any madcap scheme'
i l l
lieved in State Control were engiueering matters, things might conceivably be better. J make no toolish dogmatic assertion. 1 merely say State Control would have a better chance in the hands of enthusiasts. I t may be worth trying. Certainly it cannot operate with greater iiarslinoss tliau private enter prise has done on tlie workers. -Let Airs. Greuville realise too, Labour is not out to luitionalise evei’ythiiig, all at once. Slie may think the I.abour Party is compost'd of a pack of fools, i f she does, slie ought to revise her opinion. The Labour Party has now to be treated seriously.
i
isn’t , then it is up to the electors, who will not be likely to be inlluencod one. way or tin* other by unsupported statements sucli as Airs. Grenville’s. As to the Post Olhce, I read a wet'k or two ago that the P.O. proiits had been increased by live millions during the past tew years. That, at a time wlien all sorts of work was being shovelled on to an already hard- worked department, ellectivcly knocks the bottom out of Airs. Grenville’s argument. As to the extra Id. a mile on railway travel, can Mrs. Grenville point to any article which, handled by private persons, has “ gone up so moderately as 50 per cent? Tliis state ment of her’s is a mere Cjuibble, childish in tlie
extreme. “ There were good and bad landlords and
she would like to see all the bad ones swept awav,” says vour report. Will Airs. Gren ville kindly deline bad” in tliat sentence? AVould she‘include tlie gentleman wlio prohibits lootball on his land? I t is time such petty tyiTinny was swept away and if nationalisation ol tho land docs that, it will do at least one good turn.
Airs. Grenville is “ down” on a Capital .
Ixn-y, and she makes the usual type of unsup ported statements. A levy would hit the wealthy and must therefore not he permitted, is really what she has at the back ol her mind. Far beUcr tax tlie pooitles’ tea ami sugar! Seeing the Conservative Party is so patriotic, 1 am surprised that it does not invite its mem bers to voluntarily pay off the national debt. They could do it easily, if they tyanfed, but patriotism does not carry tliciu so iur. Vours, etc.,

Ylost Clmrclipcople agree that such pitiful bloodsucking should no longer be countenanced but we are, as your contributor savs, woolully ignorant on matters of Church Finance, and if lie would enlighten us further perliajis sometliiug could be done. 'There should be no suspicion of charity about paying the curate, or the vicar for that m.-itter. Church iK'ople should regard it as a duty to see that the clergy are properly paid and it is high time the absurd suite of tilings which literally compels tho parson of wlialever denomination—to act the “ gentleman ” was blasted for ever and ever. 1 quote “ gentle- for tho obvious reason that every per
son who has even £10,000 a year is not neces sarily a gentleman. A man with £3 a week can be, and often is, just as much a gentleman as Sir That or Lord This with their live figure incomes. -Y parson ought to he a gen tleman. I f he Isn’t he is not fit to be .1 parson

the parsons are working men—and it is also time they realised it. I do not suggest they should strike for more pay hut at any rate they could let the people know their pligiit.

says ground rents are already taxed and rated IGs. 4d. in tlie pound, which implies that the landowners pay the rates and taxes and I'otain a balance of (tnly 3s. Sd. in the xtound. 'Tlie landowner pays income tax, of course, hut if inquiry is made as F.P . suggests, I believe it will be found that tho rates charged on ground rent are paid b,y tho man who jiays the ground rent and not by the man who receives it—a very different thing. Councillor Hargreaves is modest in suggest
Sir,—Your
ing
tli.at ground rents should he taxed only 10s. in tho pound. The value of land—which we pay in ground rents, royalties, wayleaves, dead rents, etc., to the people, who own Eng land—is entirely duo to tho presence and in dustry of file population. This cannot lie denied. Justice, demands, therefore, that the whole of tho land value of tho whole cotintry shall bo taken for inihlic inirpose.s, and the simplest w.ay of doing that is to tax and
r.ato land valuc.s 20s. in the pound, 'laxiiig land values for the people who ereate them is fair play.
