CRITICISED BY THE FRENCH.
Henry Georges Doctrines At
tackled - 'SOckIess SimDson''
Wanted.

Last night the meeting of the Single
Tax league was but SHINY attended.
E. Y. SmalIey. of the Northwest Maya
zine, was the speaker OF the evening.
He read no paper OF his own. The time
allowed MIN was given up to the read
ing OF paper from the French. Mr..
Smalley did not tell the name OF the au-
thor. 1t was vigorous paper attack
Ing Henry Georges theory of single
tax. Nj. SmaIley translated it as he
read.
The French writer first discussed socialism
ana took the ground that an American social
isl Is an anomaly Then he pointed ont the
difference between Henry George and the
socialist OF Europe. He held that George
was SOclaIlst only IN part. but maintained
jnat the single tax disciple is aiming at prac-
Lcally the same END as the socialist The
difference IS mat they want 10 reach The same
result by different systems. Next Georges
single tax theory was attacked. The French
man found the same fault with the theory

The more generously endowed neighbor

his greater ability become rich. while the tax
on land. enormously increased by the single
tax plan. would eat up the property of the
weaker.
Discussion followed the reading OF
the article. The Frenchman's argu-
ments were vigorously combatted BY
members OF the league
Minneapolltans may yet look with their
OWN eyes upon the sOckless gladiator of
Kansas who put John j. ingalls, over

rotary OF the single tax league was
directed to communicate with the

PAVING COMMITTEE wOBK.
Winston's Veto VIII Be OverruIed
South Side Market Curbing

-SOhIn sue IIaRAcB OuEDinS.
The council committee on paving had
but little business Yesterday. vi course
the veto of the second curbing resolu-
ton was discussed informally. The
committee IS in favor of passing the
resolution over the veto, but will not
make the fight if a canvass of the coun-
ell promises defeat. The committee
says it would rather throw out the al
legged improper bids entirely. and to let
the contracts from bids remaining than
to readYertise. The aldermen say a re-
advertisement will be unfair to the ORR
gIDal bidders. whose figures have been
published. The committee. of course
only talk of the matter without action
until the veto has been acted upon by
the council. Col. r. c. Benton. as the
representative of the South side market
people received permission 10 put III ma
turai stone curling fifteen inches high
and fifteen inches thick around the new
South Minneapolis Market house. 4
resolution regarding rebates on special
assessments was discussed and action
postponed. 1t was proposed TO order re-
bates on the special assessments OF 1887,
1888 and 1889, IN all cases where the
actual cost of the improvement was less
than 80 per cent OF the assessment. No
action will be taken on il for two weeks.
