lfACOl'VER'S TAX EXrElUJIEXT
Hfurh ntlontlnn la liolnir attracted
the Henry George single tax theory.!
in Its . entirety. : The city first ex-1
mnMA'.hnlMln from .Bfl' n.r.Miir
of their, value, liked the way the law-i
worked. And exeitinted thtm frnm 7fi

council totalis abolished all tax-
day raising all revenues from fhe'
landi' :zx :' ";V
The mayor and other officers of thtt
Vancouver government report that
exemption' from' taxation of Improve
ments is proving an attractive fea
ture to manufacturers. The idna'dt
factories', machlners,'" etc., Is being
regarded as better than a bonus and
industry Is being drawn to the city.
The mayor reports taht those in the
community -opposed to the Henry
George Ideas : are Vary few, so few
as to1 be lnconsequental. ; 1
The entire argument at" Vancouver
wbb based bh the' fact that the as
sessors taxed one building high, an
other low, and that it had never been
possible to 'adjust the building tax
so that one man did hot pay too
much, another not1 enough.
The mayor and offlcevs Interested
In their report tnajntalned that taxa
tion on land values was adjusted to
nicety and without friction. The
council concluded that ; ; to 1ax . im
provements Is to tax and discourage
Industry. In answer to the argument
that an office building; being a rcve
iiune producer, ; should not eBoai'ie
taxation while a "vacant lot next to
. It bore the burden. It waa suld that
the proximity of the office building j
increased ine vaiue or the lami next
to It. whereupon the tax on the land
discouraged speculative values and
the holding of vacant lots. The re
. ult was more building and the re
duction of rents.
r It will be interesting to watch the
Vorking of the Vancouver system,
for ' the experiment Is ono of the
inost interesting In the world. Spo
