Taxation of Land Values.


Tho tliird means—taxation of land y:iluos would bring the assurance ql the .Liberal


>aid the land .shonid belong—and it nltiin- ately would belong—to tlio nation. It w*as well known that the value of land had in­ creased ononnously; in some cases it was oven twelve times its original value, ami tlial not by any effort ol tho individual owner, h u t ‘ by tho community. ■When railway extoiu’led its service, or a town ox- tendeil its boundary, the worth ol .huul


began to grow*. ^YIlilo helioving in naliomil ownership, Labour knew that to follow^ up nationalLsation would send vahic.s .soaring. horoforo they could approach a man, ask


tho value at which he assessed his land, and assuring him it was not intended to onj


just now, tux him according to his own ass(?SHinent. Thus, in course of tiiuo, worth would he pjiid l»y tho owner. Alderman Dohbie said he had yet lo road
