he Single Tax.

To the Editor of The Times.
In your issue Of February s. / find
a reply To Wv. O. t. in answer to the
query. How would the single tax bene-
fit the tenant
In the first place, viii you permit me
to say that there does not now exist
such a thing as single tax party"
There does exist organizations whose
sole object is 10 direct public attention
To the single tax as a solution for the
present admittedly bad social condi-
lions. In the carrying out of this pro-
ject candidates have been run for pub
lie Office at various places not so much
in the hope Of getting the Offices
sought as that this means was
thought the best to gain the
object of impressing public opinion.
The single tax men are. for the most
part. members of the Democratic party.
but party ties necessarily sit light on
the minds of such men,
In reply To your correspondent it NAV
b stated that tax on land value alone
would benefit tenants by greatly in
creased supply OF houses due To taking
of taxes on improvements. There is
practically no limit To buildings either
i'm size or number as there is no Iinit
to any other form of production As il
is now q tax on improvements tends to
lessen the number made as a tax on
any other product of labor does. For
example. n tax on windows in France
diminished the number of windows
There is. however. limit to land The
area of land Of the earth cannot be
increased at the viii OF man. Its alb
solute ownership by a few constitutes
a monopoly. which. on investiga ton,
viii BE- found to be the parent of all
other muuopolies. Absolutely unquali-
fed ownership Of land has never been
recognized by any nation for it is a
physical impossibility. The single
taNer does not propose any change in
the technical methods of land owner
ship. Titles viii remain as they are
now, except possibly. some slight
changes i'm the direction of facilitating
exchanges of land such as the adoption
OF the TOrrens system. This or any
other change in land tenure is not es-
sential to the single tax program. 1t
mus always be borne i'm mind that the
single tax exists everywhere now in
some degree. The difficulty to be met
is that there are some 900 other taxes
burdening the people of the world. The
business OF a single taXer is to lop off
one or more of these taxes whenever
he gets chance.

question that is troubling the sci
entific world just at present is whether
or not the oyster is a fish. As usually
happens, science and religion are on
opposite sides. Cardinal Gibbons has
given as his opinion that the oyster is
a fish. and as such may be eaten during
Lent. along with other fish and crabs
and other alterations of that forty
days fast In support OF this decision
a Baltimore lawyer says that an oyster
is a fish, because several years ago
man was arrested for fishing on the
wrong side OF a State boundary. ana
pleaded that he was only after oysters.
The supreme court ruled that he was
fishing. because the right of fishing.
when not qualified, extended to the
taking Of shell-fish, thus dividing the
fish-kind into two specios-fioating fis.;
and shell-fish.
on the other HAND. a professor in the
biological department of Johns Hop
kins University says very positively
that whatever the oysters legal or
religious status may be. socially that
is-biologically he is certainly not
fish The fact that he lives in salt wa
ter does not make him one. neither does
the fact that he is taken in charge by
fishermen. The biological professor
thinks that he knows something about
fishes and their characteristics. and h5
does not recognize the oyster as in any
sense one of that tribe. Ii appears.
moreover. that Cardinal Gibbons ad-
mits that the Lenten law may be
stretched sometimes. and cites a New
orleans case. In that town the inhab-
itants are allowed To eat of a certain
kind of water fowl which has a fishy
taste during Lent and on other fas
days. In such case a biological pro-
fessor certainly could not be expected
To capitulate and cali a bird fish: and
there i. il.
But the question remains. If the oys-
ter is not a fish what is he? He is not
flesh nor fowl. nor is he good red her.
ring. He is a nondescript. While the
question remains open. however. OBJ
servers Of Lent will continue to eat him
in the comfortable hope that he is safe.
