VACANT LOT OWNERS
DOGS IN HANGERS
Thus Characterized by Member
of British Parliament Speak
ing Here for Single Tax.

Economic dogs in the manger' was
the term used by Joseph C. Wedgewood.
n member of the British parliament.
in describing owners Of unused land
at the Joseph Fels memorial services
held under the auspices OF the Wom-
ans Single Tax League IN the Public
Library last night. Mr.. WedGewood was
introduced by Representative Henry
George Of New York as one of q group
of land value radicals in the house
of commons fighting with some success
for the introduction of the single tax
in England.
Mr.. Wedgewood advocated publicity
for single tax propaganda to educate the
public He declared the movement was
in danger of becoming too intellectual,
as too many people contented themselves
with quiet discussions of ii and reading
Of Henry George. He said that the 'tax-
alton Of unused land would have tie ef-
feet Of making it possible for more peo-
pie to own their own homes and bring
about more universal prosperity.
Jackson H. Ralston. a member of the
Fels Fund Commission, also made an
address.
