Single Tax and Wnres.

Ex-Judge Mcguire addressed the Single
Tax Society last night on the relation of
wages to tax. lie held that the working
men of tie country would be benefited by
the adoption of the single tax, because 1t
would enable them TO obtain land on equal
terms with the wealthiest men in the coun-
try. II the single-tax idea were adopted the
great farms would be broken up and poor
men could obtain land on which to earn a
living. They would therefore be able TO
demand better terms from the manufacture
ers. The manufacturers now enslave labor
because labor has no outlet. 1t must kneel
to capital or staTYe. Ii it could obtain land
IL would dictate its own terms to capital.
