The independent., 1903-04-30

to get out special edition for as en-
thusiastic lot as these single takers
are? 1t isn't a question of finding
material enough to fill the 16, or "a,
or 80 pages, as the case may be, but
wholly a question Of how to squeeze
in 64 colGmns of matter in 81 columns
of space.
The Henry George Edition of The
Independent is not intended as a text
book on the single tax philosophy.
Nothing will probably ever be writ
ten that will quite fill the place of
Henry Georges Progress and Pow
erty," and every reader of The Inde-
pendent who becomes interested in
the single tax should read that book.
Subscribers who are enrolled as mem
bers of The Independent School of
Political Economy can borrow the
book and keep 1t thirty days by ex-
pending very little money.
The Henry George Edition will be
a popular presentation of the subject,
told in the style of the dozens or hun
dreds of men who are leaders in the
single tax movement today. 1t is in
tended to arouse the minds Of the
people, call forth criticism and discus
sion, and get them to thinking. Let
us see what good things are in store:

lumbus Wire & Iron Works, $40 Pop
