NO UNION OF SOCIALISTS
WITH SINGLE TAKERS

At the last meeting of the Single Tax
Club Charles F. Nesbit delivered an ad-
dress upon the relations of the single
movements
A number of local Socialists were
present, and a discussion followed in
which the prevailing opinion seemed to
be that the differences between the re-
form movements and between Socialism
and the single tax in particular are too
radical and fundamental to perm,t he
closer union of forces advocated by the
speaker.
The pronounced individualism Of most
single takers tends TO repel or prevent
this aid 10 their cause.
