TOWN DEMONSTRATES
SINGLE TAX THEORY
Fairhope, Ala, Residents Build
Village on Own Economic
Principles.

FAIRHOPE, Ala. PA town built
in the demonstration OF an economic
theory is Fairhope.
Thirty years ago a band of single
takers" from Iowa and other Middle
Western States arrived In Baldwin
County, Ala, and began acquiring land
In the name Of the Fairhope Single
Tax Cooperation. Ultimately they Sc
cured 1000 acres with considerable
frontage on Mobile Bay. and built the
town, now one Of the principal cen
ters OF the county
Carrying out their theory, the single
takers" do not individually own colony
land, which remains in the corpora
tons name and is leased TO citizens
according 10 their needs, In return
.hese pay an annual rent, and In theory,
no taxes State, county and munic1pal
taxes are paid by the corporation
The rent is flxed annually by the col
ony council, and the lessee Of vacant
lot or an unused farm pays AS much as
his neighbor who has a home or pro-
iucng acres. The theory Is that no les
see under the single tax will hold land
out Of use On the basis Of taxation
the colony's property is now worth more
than 81 200 600 and building permits
are running close to 100000 year.
The town, with a population est"
mated at 800 not ell OF whom are
single ax payers has hank, publicly
owned wsterworks and electricity,
schools, churches, improved streets a

parks. Among the coleny's benefactofs
