SYME TELLS HOW TO FIND
TRUE VALUE OF PROPERTY
Should Be Determined by Relation
to General Welfare, Corporation
Counsel Declares.

That a fundamental error has been
made by the human race in considering
the true value of property as deter
mined solely by its relation to the in
dividual rather than by its relation to
the general welfare and happiness of
mankind was the assertion of Conrad
H. Syme. District corporation counsel,
in an address before the Women's
Single Tax Club at the Public Library
last night on the subject of True
Values"
The error of fixing value by its re-
lation to the individual, Mr.. Syme de-
clared, has caused war and famine.
riot and bloodshed. misery and poverty.
1t has limited opportunity and licensed
greed. 1t has closed many doors of
hope and time and again shut the doors
II mercy to mankind.
IF we are ever going to bring into
our consciousness the true and real
value of the earth and the fullness
thereof and the multidinous products
of human labor" said Mr.. Syme. we
must learn to think truly of their re-
lation to man in the betterment of
his condition. the promotion of his
happiness and the advancement of his
civilization"
