A single Tax Doubter

YORK. Eeb.. Jan. ITO the Editor OF
The Bee; As single tax is the new pass
word. l will pry open the letter box with
II. Some seem to think II IL a real cure
all. They have the vacant lot night
mare and fail to see that where there
is one vacant lot ten are improved chat
is down in the citys center. as that Is
where the valuable ones are). And that
the improvements are OF much more
value than the lots on which they stand.
But the poor man with a small farm
where the improvements are q small part
of the value and yet his land value is
just as completely made up OF labor as
our buildings and goods. And yet they
want to take 1t off the one and double
IT on the other. And cali IL progress
And some say a tax on goods is a PEN
atty on Industry. SO is any tax in the
same sense Some say it is the cause of
the high cost Of living" We had this
same system when we raised our living
at less than cost Of production. But one
thing above all others that can not
harmonise is this: The very ones that
on yesterday saw such danger ahead be-
cause the very rich were let off with
paying less than their share Of the taxes
are today trying to free them OF the
millions they do pay and saddle Il onto
those that are paying their full share
now.
Out In the northwest, when the fight
was on there, we found some, like there
are everywhere; ehildlike. they are ready
to give chase to every butterfly that
comes along, while others got the milk
for their cocosnut from those that were
benefited by the new order of things.
And they will tell you q is great sue
cess. but others say nay Some say for
US to study the single tax" and we will
know more about It. Sure thing. and the
more We do. the more We have against
1t and the more reasons VIC find why
some are for II and why some are against
