New CASTLE March 7.--Presldent
John A. Walls. Of the New Castle Tax
Reform Society, accompanied By three
distinguished leaders OF the single tax
movement who are noted for eloquent
speaking on that important issue Of the
day, went to Dover on the noon train
down the Delaware road to day.
Mr.. Walls attracted much attention at
the Wilmington station, where he went
to meet the speakers, by his heavy
walking stick being covered with at
tractlve stickers on which we're inscribed
catchy verser aud texts which have been
adopted as campaign material by the
single tax advocates One Of these
texts read as follows:
''The greatest discovery OF my life is
that the men who do the work never get
rich. Andrew Carnegie.
Mr.. Walls and the distinguished
PhilAdelphiAns were en- route TO the State
House to address the Committee on
Municipal Corporations, urging the
passage OF the Single Tax local option
bill now before the Legislature,
allowing the people OF New Castle
to vote upon the question as 20 whether
or not the experiment Of single tax
should be tried in this city. The leaders
claim that the experiment in this city
will not only reduce taxes especially
among the class Of men who only own
their houses, but II will bring the city In
more revenue.
The plan is. for an instance, to estimate
that there Is so. 600 feet Of curbed street.
in this city (Which is about correct) and
then assess IL for Is cents foot This
would give the city 3 revenue Of $500
more than the city now receives.
