compensation for any buildings there might be on it�察�so that if the owner 

swore   to   a   low   valuation   on   his   land   he   was   the   loser�察  �but   the   District 

Court�察�sitting as a Board of Equalization every year�察�could fix the value of 

the land at what they considered proper。

                                  THE INCOME TAX。 



     The   income   tax   was   a   graduated income   tax   beginning   with   persons 

having on income one thousand dollars a year and above what they laid 

out in improving their property。 All persons whose income was less than 

one thousand dollars paid no income tax。 The tax was one per cent。 on one 

thousand dollars�察�the rate increasing with the amount of income up to fifty 

thousand   dollars   a   year�察  �when   it   was   fifty   per   cent。�察  �leaving   the   owner 

twenty´five     thousand     dollars�察 �and   for  all  incomes    over   fifty  thousand 

dollars   a   year   the   surplus   over   twenty´five   thousand   dollars   went   to   the 

Government and as a result of this wise policy there were no Jay Goulds 

or J。 D。 Rockefellers in Eurasia。 All money received from land and income 

taxes   went   into   the   District   Fund   for   the   expenses   of   the   district   and 

schools�察  �and   building   and   maintaining   of   good�察  �macadamized   roads�察  �for 

every district had a rock crusher from which the roads were supplied with 

broken stone at a trifling expense to the district。

                             CHAPTER XII。 



                     DEPARTMENT OF MANUFACTURES。 



     The Government derived its revenues from the sale of liquors�察�drugs�察�

chemicals�察�tobacco�察�coffee�察�tea�察�sugar�察�salt�察�coal�察�oil�察�stone�察�charcoal�察�iron�察�

steel�察  �copper�察  �lead   and   the  precious   metals。   The   greatest   revenue      was 

derived from liquors。 Every commodity produced or manufactured by the 

Government was sold in lots or packages at one dollar a lot or package。 

The Government made and sold wine in three grades�察�The first´grade wine 

was put up in quart bottles at one dollar a quart�察�the second´grade wine in 

half´gallon bottles at one dollar a bottle�察�and the third´grade wine in gallon 

bottles at one dollar a gallon�察�alcohol in half´gallon bottles at one dollar a 

bottle�察�and brandy in the same way and sold at the same price。 There were 

no grades in brandy。 All brandies were sold at one dollar for half a gallon。 

Whisky�察  �of   which   there   was   only   manufactured   one   grade�察  �but   out   of 

different cereals or vegetables�察�was put up in one´gallon bottles and sold at 

one dollar a gallon。 Beer was sold in five´gallon kegs at one dollar a keg�察�

but the purchaser of beer had to   pay in   addition for the keg�察 �which   was 

refunded   when   he   returned   the   keg   in   good   condition。  The   Government 

manufactured        pure   liquors   and   no   foreign   liquors   were    admitted    into 

Eurasia。 

     In   the   chemical      factories   every    drug    required     by   the   Medical 

Pharmacopoeia and every chemical required in the arts and manufactures 

was   made�察  �but   no   drugs   were   sold   except   on   a   medical   prescription�察  �or 

chemicals except to responsible parties。 The voters of any district could by 

a majority vote prohibit the use of any or all liquors or drugs in the district�察�

and   on   receiving   official   notice   of   the   law   enacted   by   the   district   the 

Minister   of   Manufactures   issued   an   order   withdrawing   from   the   district 

any   or   all   liquors   or   drugs   prohibited�察  �and   any   person   bringing   into   the 

district any prohibited drug or liquor�察�unless under a prescription from a 

Government physician�察�was punished by six months at hard labor within 

the district。 

     At every Government warehouse where drugs and chemicals were sold 



                                             37

the Government employed a competent physician�察�on a salary fixed by law�察�

to   superintend   their   sale�察  �and   he   could   prescribe   and   the   Government 

furnished the medicine free to those who were sick and did not have the 

money to pay for it。 

     Tobacco was manufactured and sold in three grades�察�viz。�察�cigars�察�which 

were sold in packages twenty cigars for a dollar�察�and smoking tobacco and 

chewing at one dollar a package。 No cigarettes were manufactured or sold 

by the Government or admitted into Eurasia�察�as it was recognized by all 

intelligent people who took a warm interest in human progress that the use 

of tobacco in the form of cigarettes had an injurious effect on the young�察�

through the pernicious habit of inhaling the smoke。 Coffee and tea were 

put up in three grades at one dollar a package�察�the packages weighing in 

proportion   to   grade�察  �and   sugar   was   made   and   sold   in   two   grades�察  �viz。�察�

common sugar and refined。 The common was put up in twenty´five´pound 

sacks and sold for one dollar a sack�察�and the refined sugar in twenty´pound 

sacks and sold at one dollar a sack。 Salt was put up in one´hundred´pound 

sacks   and   five   sacks   of   common   salt   were   sold   for   one   dollar   and   four 

sacks of refined salt for one dollar�察�or at the rate of four dollars a ton for 

rock salt and five dollars a ton for refined salt。 

     The Government manufactured charcoal on a large scale in fireproof 

brick kilns�察 �that   turned out ten thousand bushels   of   charcoal to the  kiln�察�

with elevated railroad tracks running between the rows of kilns�察�so that the 

wood was unloaded from the cars into the kilns and on the outside of the 

kilns   were sunken   railroad tracks   so   that   the   charcoal   when   drawn   from 

the   kilns   could   be   loaded   into   the   cars   with   the   least�察  �amount   of   labor�察�

enabling the Government to sell charcoal in one´hundred´pound sacks at 

one dollar for two hundred pounds�察�or at the rate of ten dollars a ton。 The 

Government         reserved    for   its  own     use   all  anthracite    coal�察  �but    sold 

bituminous   coal   in   two´hundred´pound   sacks   for   a   dollar�察  �at   the
