How 1t Would Work.

W. A. Macleod has issued leaflet
showing the changes that would be
brought about by the establishment of
the single tax in Dorchester, one of the
districts of the city of Boston. At pres
ent Boston's taxation is about $40. 25 on
the thousand dollars. Mr.. Macleod
takes this as figure on which to base
his calculations, though, of course, he
points to the fact that if vacant land
were properly assessed, the rate would
be considerably less. He has ascer-
tanned the present taxes on given lots of
land in the richer part of Dorchester,
and finds that in many instances the
single tax would be higher than the
almost invariably taxes would be lower
ed in district occupied by poorer class
of people. In the business districts,
however, taxes would be largely in
creased over those paid now, except in
cases where the buildings are more val
liable than the land. OF course, Mr..
Macleod's figures only deal with local
taxation, but even in this they demon
strate that the present system favors
the rich and imposes undue burdens on
the poor.
TAX manufacturers, and the effect is
to check manufacturing; tax improve
ments, and the effect is to lessen i'm
provements; tax commerce, and the eff
feet is to prevent exchanges; tax capital,
and the effect is to drive it away. But
the whole value of land may be taken
in taxation, and the only effect will be
to stimulate industry, to open new OPP
portunities to capital, and to increase
the production Of wealth. Progress and
Poverty.

his journey in those regions in the

gan it was noticed that the hair and
