Challenge From
Single Tax Leader
To Editor of Palisadian:


Dear Sir--One of the greatest i'm
proyements recently dedicated to the
welfare of Palisade is the new theatre
at the Junction, the cornerstone of
which was laid today. Whether 1t
will make money for its investor or
not is a question, for all business ven-
lures are in the nature Of gamble.
IF the people attend the theatre it will
be success. IF they don't it will not
pay dividends.
The writer subscribed small
amount at the commencement of the
enterprise. In conversation with a
neighbor the latter expressed doubts
as to whether the theatre could ever
pay per cent, as calculated. The
writer replied to the effect that it
was utterly immaterial to him
whether any dividend would ever be
paid, even l per cent. The great
point was that the building furnished
a great public convenience. e.,
hall that could accommodate large
number of people if ever the occasion
u
the same The increase in property
values was a sufficient reward for the
investment.
Unfortunately our laws are so
framed that they discourage similar
enterprises. We fine men of capital
for improving the town by levying
heavy taxes on the property, and the
more money expended in the enter
prise the heavier the tax. We do not
tax the vacant land spectators who
hope to profit by the increased values
given their property, but ignore them
to a large extent, especially when the
areas are large This is the evil of
the law.
1t is to bring about a change in this
system that the Single Tax party has
offered it's candidates. We want an
open discussion of this question before
the people, and we are prepared to
challenge the assembly candidates of
Bergen county of any party, especially
the Democratic and Republican par
ties, to debate upon the subject at
any time or place and especially be-
fore their own partisans. Let them
come out in the open like men and
women and let the voters know first
why they maintain the present unjust
system of assessments, of which every
citizen feels the evil effects more and
more as time goes on.

Germans Buy Antiques
Which Have Staple Value

Dresden. Aug. 1S-(A. P. by MaiD
Art dealers and antiquarians here
have few valuable objects of art left
in their shops. Since the mark be-
gan it's wild downward course and
the distrust in money became so
acute, Germans have been putting
all their savings into articles which
they believe to have a stable value in
a world market. Old masterpieces,
old furniture, old silver, old tapes
tries and old rugs have been eagerly
snapped up if they had beauty and
bore evidence of their age.
In many cases the dealers them
selves withdrew the articles from the
market if they were their own
property. Shops, now devoid of
choice pieces, keep up appearances
by filling up their show windows with
Chinese porcelain made in imitation
of old wares and modern Russian
oddities gathered from the mass of
refugees which has come to Ger
many.
