who1ps thing it is to tax houses Are
thefrAl very\ol louses in the country?
ReferrfWMo 3is well-known principle that
taxation Vfhll upon land values and that
no individual should own land to the exclusion
of the community's right therein. Mr. George
continued What right have those who are
dead in the land on this continent?
About us much right as man
lyho has left a railroad has in the car that
Npc5ds on its way If l want to buy vacant
lot in New York, / am obliged to pay the
large part of my earnings to some rich man be-
ause the will Of some dead English King. who
never set foot in this country, says so. What
fOOlishness. You enter a railway car and you
find all the seats filled with bundles. You at
tempt to sit down, and you are told that the
seat is engaged. You ask how it came to be |
engaged. and you are told that it was bought
from the person who aighted at the last sta
ton. There is just as much sense in the car
Illustration as there is in the selling of land for
building purposes.
There ought to be no such thing as starvation
when the great granaries are all full--the
great Creator has put enough in this world for
all. Equality of opportunity is what is needed.
Justice is what we want. What you are doing
in this election is to elevate principles l hope
no true Democrat or Republican will fail to
vote for your labor candidates. If you cannot .,
elect them, come as near as you can, your in
huence will. be eXerted for good. Men of New
Haven, do your duty and let it go forth TO the ,
world that Connecticut is waking up to the !
cause of labor c
