VANCOUVER MAKING
PLUTOCRATS SOUIRM

The benefits, being derived by Vans
ScouVer from it's municipal single tax
system have already aroused sentis
ment in favor Of initiating that city
strong enough to alarm land mono
polists at. a distance. An illustra-
ton of this is an editorial in the
cincinnati Times-Star, paper owned
by Chas. P. Taft brother Of the
President and Cincinnati's leading
monopolist. rs d. - -.-
The Times-Star does not venture
to deny that Vancouver has prospered
but tries to minimize the. significance
of that fact by offering two mis-
statements as evidence. It says first
that there are other cities in West
ern Canada, not blessed by the single
tax which have done even BETTER
1t does not give the names of these
cities for the good and sufficient
reason that they do not exist
The other mis-statement is that
the kind of single tax practiced in
Vancouver has practically nothing in
common with the single tax as advo-
Gated by Henry George No one
has ever claimed that the complete
single tax is in force, in Vancouver,
but the statement that the system
In force there "has nothing in com
mon with the single tax as advo-
Gated by Henry George is absolutely
untrue: The city Of Vancouver has
gone as far. as it legally can put into
EFFECT the single tax advocated by
Henry George 1t raises all of it's
municipal revenue by taxing land
values alone. The Times-Star speaks
of other taxes in force there, but
deliberately withholds the Informal
ton that these other taxes are not
levied by the city, but by the Pro-
vince of British Columbia and the
Dominion Government. It adds to
this the raise statement that Van
couver plans its land taxes SO that
with the poll tax, the income tax
and the personal property tax it will
provide the amount required"
Evidently not feeling these misre-
presentations to be sufficient, the
T1mes-Star presents the following
additional one: I'VE have had about
as much single tax in Cincinnati in
the past forty years or fifty years
as Vancouver has today"
The 'Times-Star must know that
much of Cincinnatis municipal re-
venue is derived from taxes on labor
and labor products all of which are
exempt from municipal taxation in

OF INTEREST TO. WOMEN

The advertising value of equal suf-
frage campaigns becomes more and
more apparent to the workers at
National suffrage headquarters. The
activity Of the movement in the Vari-
Gus countries is becoming so pro-
nounced that interest is focused on
the, sections where the prospects for
success appear to be most favorable.

WOODEN CARS EXPENSIVE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-The rail-
roads have lost their first appeal
from the 1911 law permitting no
postofflce payments to railroads for
mail carried in wooden mail cars

out that the postoffice auditor
knocked off $56S.72 from the July

despite the fact that the railroads

formation of the rocks, and showed how
the fall line of the Potomac has, in past
ages. travelled up the river from the

it is slowly and imperceptibly working
still farther up the stream.
The visiting geographers were united in
declaring Great Falls to be among the
most interesting and picturesque Of the
i'm the United Stats or abroad.
