I will refuso to rop- rosont any faction and will nlways for tho liuoycd-tip energies they put In their work when tholr bod ies nro already spent with other necessary lnbors. Fortunately each community is fighting its own battle, whero Its own interests lie. It Is essentially a mensuro by and for tho pcoplo. Every farmer or homo ownir's taxes will bo decreased undor tho slnglo tnx. A taxpayer with a home and six lots vacant will pay loss in taxes undor tho slnglo tax than ho does undor tho gonoral property tax. Iho clnglo tax In countries wnero It has teen tried, proven nnd still In existence, with every prospoct of remaining, has glvon nnd does glvo ono-half more in taxes than its advocates claim d for It. Think of this, Mr. Fnrmer and Homo Owner! When thoro la n Biirplus of taxes In tho treasury, will your tnxes bo decreased or not? When they begin to lra provo nnd soil tho Idlo lnnds to dcereaso their tax, Btich as will lot many of you on tho land to Im- provo It for present owners, nnd own Bomo of It yourBolvcs, will thoro bo hotter wnges, snortor hours, moro work, moro Jobs and fewer men for them or not, do you think? Do you boo why tho lnnd Is kept from you" Can a com munity fall to boom with perma nent Improvements? Tho general property tax Is wrong nnd unjust In ovory senso and nothing but good can como to all Individuals and communities from tho Blnglo tax. Quoting this local paper's paid advertisement, E. R. A. Sollgtnnn's "Essays on Taxation," lot mo toll you what Protestor Sollgmnn of Columbia University, Now York, says of tho general property tax. "It puts (i premium on dishonesty nnu uounuencs uio public con science It reduces deception to a 8ystom nnd makes a dofonso ot knavery. It proves hardest on tlioso lcnBt ablo to pay. It im poses doublo taxation on ono man nnd grants Immunity to tho noxt. In short, tho gonornl property tax Is so flagrantly Incqultnblo that Its rcntcntlon can only bo explain ed through Ignornuco or inertia. It Is tho causo of such crying In justice thnt Its alteration or aboli tion must becomo tho bnttlo cry of ovory statesman or roformor." Out it wero folly to continue, tho question is not oven debatable Thoso who nro opposod to tho high cost of living, indlroct rob bory nnd domestic unhnpplnosi, should voto for tho slnglo tax, No. X 30G Yes. , And voto no on nil tax meas ures appearing on tho ballot noxt month, oxcopting only tho county slnglo tnx and tho statowldo grad uated slnglo tax measures.
