The Single Tax Movement in the United States (Classic Reprint) by Arthur Nichols Young Pdf

Excerpt from The Single Tax Movement in the United States More than a generation has now elapsed since Henry George published Progress and Poverty, but hardly any effort has been made to describe the single tax movement or to appraise its significance. Substantially all of the literature devoted to the single tax question has been purely controversial. In the present volume the writer has undertaken to give a complete historical account of the single tax movement in the United States, together with a discussion of the tactics of the single taxers, their program, the present status of the movement, and its influence upon economic thought and upon fiscal and social reform. A brief introductory survey of the chief anticipations of Henry George's doctrines is presented in order to show the place of the movement in the history of economic thought. Then is traced the formulation of George's economic ideas in the light of the economic environment amid which he spent the formative years of his life, the California of the two decades following the gold discovery of 1848. Next follows a description of the reception of Progress and Poverty in the eighties and of Henry George's activities in the spreading of his gospel. Succeeding chapters describe the development of the single tax movement through the recent political campaigns undertaken with the aid of the Joseph Fels endowment. Finally there is a consideration of some general aspects of the movement, and an appraisal of its significance. Collection of the material upon which this study is based has involved research in several parts of the country.

Single Tax Year Book by Joseph Dana Miller Pdf

Excerpt from Single Tax Year Book: The History, Principles and Applicaton of the Single Tax Philosophy One of the purpose of this work has been to provide a handy source of information as to the progress of the Single Tax movement in all countries where its teachings have found a lodgment - and these include nearly every country on the habitable globe. We have not dwelt as fully as we might on the history of the movement in this country. Prof. Arthur N. Young, in his admirable History of the Single Tax Movement in the United States, has told the story in extenso, with sympathy and discrimination, yet with judicial impartiality. But we have included accounts of material episodes in the history of the movement, and of such limited applications of the principle as mark its progress during the last two decades. So far as practicable controversial matter has been excluded. While of necessity much has been said of matters still in dispute, the aim has been rather to include as many of the agreements as could be found, for, after all, while controversy is essential in order to arrive at correct conclusions, it is along the line of our agreements that we advance. We have refrained from quoting extensively from the writings of Henry George - these may more profitably be consulted in the original sources. We have considered the Year Book rather as a supplement to the writings and the work of Henry George than as in any sense a compendium thereof. If to any inquiring reader we have suggested the desirability of a closer acquaintance with the great liberalizing philosophy of the foremost economic thinker of all time, it is as much as we could hope to achieve in a work of the present limits and character.

Income Taxes (Classic Reprint) by Hon. Thomas E. Lyons Pdf

Excerpt from Income Taxes The increasmg difference between those who owned property and those who did not gradually led to the selection of that test as the basis of taxation, and ulti mately produced the general property tax. This being the prevailing system of taxation during the forma tive period of our history, it was adopted by all the American states and still constitutes the framework of their tax systems. In 1912 it was estimated that the property tax produced not less than 75 per cent. Of all our public revenue.

Outlines of Lectures on the Taxation of Land Values by Louis Freeland Post Pdf

Excerpt from Outlines of Lectures on the Taxation of Land Values: An Explanation With Illustrative Charts, Notes, and Answers to Typical Questions, of the Land-Labor-and-Fiscal Reform Advocated by Henry George Hard Times, which Twas then delivering in the United States and Canada. For book publication I adapted the principal points of those lectures to the Singletax, the one theme to which all the subjects are related. They were originally pub lished in this unified form in 1894 as Outlines of Post's Lectures. That edition having been exhausted, the sec ond, somewhat revised, was published in 1899 under the more appropriate title of The Singletax. The third was issued in 1906 under the same title and Without re vision; and when this edition also had been exhausted, the fourth Was issued in response to requests from Great Britain as well as the United States and Canada. In complying with those requests it seemed best to alter the title and the text so as to conform to a habit of speech which, originating in Great Britain and spreading into Canada and the United States, had tended to substitute for single tax the phrase taxation Of land values. The fifth edition is in nearly every respect like the fourth which is now out of print. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Income Tax by Edwin R. A. Seligman Pdf

Excerpt from The Income Tax: A Study of the History, Theory and Practice of Income Taxation at Home and Abroad It may appear to some that too much attention has been paid to the historical side of the subject. It seemed to me, however, that the most important lesson to be learned from experience was the gradual transition in public sentiment from a position of uncompromising hostility to one of virtual acquiescence. Such a lesson, however, can be impressed only after a full and thorough presentation of the facts. This, apart from the inherent interest of the matter, must be my excuse for attempting an exhaustive statement, not only of the legislation and of the parliamentary history, but also of the scientific as well as of the more ephemeral literature of the topic, in the most important countries from which we have a lesson to learn. In this investigation, especially so far as England is concerned. Virtually no help was secured from any existing investigation, and I have therefore been compelled to make a pioneer study, with all its inevitable defects.

The Decline of the Chartist Movement (Classic Reprint) by Preston William Slosson Pdf

Excerpt from The Decline of the Chartist Movement The present study is rather a problem in causation than a complete narrative of the 'chartist movement. During a score of years, which may be roughly indicated as lying between the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834 and the outbreak of the Crimean War, the portion of the British laboring classes which aspired to play a part in national politics entered the political arena not as an ally of the middle-class reformers but as an independent party with a program and an organization of its own. Ever since that time many individuals have preached class-consciousness to the workers, but it was not until the recent organization of the Labour Party that a political party based upon class lines was again able to win the allegiance of a majority'or even a large minority of British workingmen. Even the present-day Labour Party has been less independent of the Liberals than were the 'chartists, although this may be due rather to the necessary compromises of Parliamentary work than to lack of class feeling. Why a popular movement, so generally supported by the unenfranchised classes of Great Britain as was the Chartist agitation, should have been abandoned without attaining the program of reforms to which it was pledged is a difficult and complex question; and one to which insufficient attention has been paid. The aim of the present survey has been to contribute a little to the discussion of this vitally important question in the political history of Great Britain in the nineteenth century.
